Otherwise it means NOTHING, it doesn&#8217;t put you on the list and I won&#8217;t feel bad that I won&#8217;t be able to help you at the door. Save yourself pain and RSVP on this EVITE right away. You can adjust your RSVP later if plans change. If you didn&#8217;t get the Evite it&#8217;s because I don&#8217;t have your email address, please send it to me.

He has sent 3 or 4 similar emails, and they seem to become more condescending.\u00a0\u00a0 It&#8217;s just too bad none of the friends he loves so much take the time to tell him how idiotic his Evite is.\u00a0 Then again, maybe they&#8217;re afraid of bringing about the wrath of the Supreme Leader.<\/p>\n<p>I am at a dilemma.\u00a0 On the one hand, I don&#8217;t feel like going to such a party for the obvious reasons.\u00a0 On the other hand, I am so curious as to what TYPE of people will show up after reading such Evites.\u00a0 Maybe they&#8217;re all Bloggers too and want to see the same thing.\u00a0 I doubt it.
