Stubborn? Me? Noooo

I've made a semi-revelation today.  I'm far too stubborn for my own good. (Please, try to reign in your 'I told you so's and endless laughter, Mai. :P)

Yesterday, I saw that a comedian is coming to my school tonight to give a performance, so I call up Jeremiah to see if he wants to go.  At first, he had ride in and out, but then told me he wouldn't have a ride home again come Wednesday and that he couldn't come because of it.  Most people would be like, 'Yeah, I'll just see you this weekend then', right?  Not me, oh no.  I called up my mother and got her to agree to take him home Wednesday (due to circumstances, neither me or him have a car atm :P)
Mom agreed rather easily, which I was surprised.  Then I called him back to tell him and then he said due to things his family had to do today, he wouldn't have a ride up here either and that he still couldn't go.  So what do I do? :D I call my mother back and plead with her to bring him up here this afternoon as well.  After promising her gas money and not to ask for anything like this again, she agrees. xD

Why I just didn't let it go, I don't know.  I'm spending more money on gas money to give her than I did on the ticket for the comedy performance.  I guess when I get it into my head that something is going to happen, I want it to happen, regardless of the complications that come up.  I don't understand why.  Now thinking back on it (I'm sitting at home now, waiting for mom to get done grocery shopping so she can pick him up and bring him here)... it's a lot of hassle, just for a last minute 'Oh hey, by the way are you free tomorrow?' kind of thing.  At the time though (last night around 10 or 11pm) I was completely adamant to get this to work out.

This isn't the only time something like this has happened.  Recall my rant about the weather with people coming over a couple weeks ago?  I wouldn't let it go, and I made it happen. (And Nichelle... I have gas money for you Madam. xD)  Things would be so much easier if I had a car I guess. xD  I have a license, just no car to go with it.  Not one of my own, anyways.  I drive Mom's wagon, but that's back at my parents' place while I'm up here at school.  Not much help for when I want to go somewhere.  Having a job would help too, I guess. :P

I just have the feeling of not letting things go is gonna get me into trouble at some point.  Perhaps I should make it a late addition New Year's Resolution to take things more in stride in the future. :P

That comedian better be funny.
