I had to skip the bonfire

I wanted to go to a backyard-fire (me doing social stuff‽), but it was at the same time as film-night. I wanted to go after the movie, but I was getting notifications of people posting messages about the bonfire to say thanks after leaving. It would’ve taken 20-30 minutes to drive across town, so there would be few people left by the time I got there. On top of that, my stomach was really bad, I was worried about I wouldn’t even survive film-night, so I skipped the fire. I feel bad for not showing up because she said that if I don’t make it off the wait-list by the night of the fire, I could just go over anyway. I expected to see her a couple of nights later at trivia and thought of a way to apologize:

Please forgive me,
I tried to go it’s true

Please forgive me,
Film-night was that night too

I can’t deny it,
Choosing isn’t what I do

Please forgive me,
I really had to poo

(She was disappointed I didn’t show, but I just said “sorry”, I didn’t sing the apology; my social-anxiety-disorder is not compatible with public-singing, or I would have sung a normal song at karaoke a month earlier. )
