what didn't happen

The disappointment of what didn't happen a few weekends back had worn off. The party was a waste of 20 minutes and the backup plan was foiled. However, the night ended enjoyably enough and I knew there would be plenty of future opportunities. Last night was to be such an opportunity. Good ol' Matt was to be the generous driver. What a guy. Then, to my dismay, another motorist was necessary and unfortunately I was the only remaining sober individual. Being the good sport, I agreed to drive. After a painful ride, the bitter cold, wasted time, wasted gas, and numerous houses, phone calls and useless attempts later, we ended up in Matt's apartment... back where we started. Another let down. Some guy was kind enough to leave me a present as most of them left to have some fun at some "platform". It was a warm present that had absolutely no affect on me, but a kind gesture none the less. It's the thought that counts.
