*hug* How sucky. Feeling used is no fun at all. For the record, I don't only love you for your fondue pots and soap. I am hesitant to ask people to do stuff socially here (and people in general, not just you) unless I know that they're ok with driving me around, because I have met a lot of people here who are really territorial about their vehicles and where I know they like me and consider me a friend, they don't like having to be responsible for someone else's transportation. It's a cultural Texas weirdness that I've really had to learn not to take so personally. So, there's a lot of stuff I get left out of because I can't spontaneously show up, and there's a lot of people I never ask to do anything because I'm not sure how they feel about being my ride...I don't want them to feel used and am kinda hypersensitive about that, but I generally haven't got any other means/method of getting together with them. I guess that's just my longwinded way of saying I like you and I'm not evil. *hug*
