Right under my skin is air made of bricks, pulls me down, turns me weak for you....Adele
I went to the Atlanta Yelp Elite Party last night at Vita.
I don't know why I always feel like I stick out like a sore thumb at these events. The only reason I went this time was to meet some guy but he was not there. And the night just got worse. For one, the hostess, Atlanta community manager, greeted me like she didn't know me...you know that Hi and dry greeting where the smile just fades away. I hate that! Then, I stood in line for the margarita drinks that were bland and non alcoholic. Each time the bartender kept skipping over me to serve other people who had just walked over to the bar, so conveniently missing me as if I was the wrong color, not up to par, something. And as the hostess, the one with the fading smile, captured pictures of the event attendees, she skipped over me too to take pictures of people who were standing around me. She would just snap the people around me and not even ask me to step into the picture. Very awkward. There must have been something in my teeth I didn't know about. I suddenly felt like Ricky Gervais in Extras. He always used to sort of slide himself into the frame of the movie so he would get some camera time. Maybe I should have done that. It was just a disaster. I kept thinking, I missed my spin class for this. I could think of a million things I would have rather done with my evening than sit with people who just bore me and think they are too much to socialise. It was bourgeoise bland. As was aptly said, "So bourgeoise, so boring." Needless to say I would never step foot in that restaurant again. As for their events...well to be determined.

Wow... I wasn't at the party, but I find it very hard to believe that people were intentionally rude to you, especially Deanna. I really have no idea why you keep complaining about not having your dream job or a boyfriend when the solution to those issues (and many more) is really simple. Be nice to people. Act like you're genuinely interested and stop thinking that everyone is out to get you. Trust me, no one cares that much about you to be that mean.
I made a point to introduce myself to you and say hello at the Yelp party at Table 1280. I honestly wanted to talk to you, but you acted completed disinterested and like I was bothering you. Based on all of your negative reviews I wasn't all that surprised, but now that I've been reading your blog it shocks me that you actually seem to care about connecting with people.
If you really do care and you really want change in your life you need to stop having such a negative attitude. I apologize if this unsolicited advice upsets you, but the fact that you can't figure out why you hate your life amazes me.
I truly hope you find happiness.
