I am a rude girl aren't I?
My sincerest apologies to the world at large. Quite rudely, I ignored you yesterday. It was wholly irresponsible of me to blow off ALL plans yesterday, turn off my phone and lock myself within my home.
The thing is on our "Independence Day" (observed) I really did want my independence. I wanted to be free to do as I wanted to. In the process of truly gaining my freedom from the world of societal expectations and rules I ignored the telephone and skipped quite a few holiday events. This does not mean that I dislike you or your planned event but simply that I needed the day to me, wholly mine and mine alone.
Thank you for allowing me the brief pleasure that was a day to myself... and thank you for being such caring and wonderful people to not give me grief for my actions.
