Pathos is oozing from my pores

You know what's sad? My C&C group is always sending out mass emails being like, "Hey! There's a farewell party for this person!" and I'm always like, you know, I'd love to go, but I don't know who that person is. And I don't know who any of the other people are. And for all of your pretend welcoming, you don't want a stranger at your place when you're saying goodbye to a friend. So I never go. And then they sent out an email about a guy I've actually met, and I'd like to go because I think he's cool and I didn't even know he was leaving, so it would be nice to say goodbye, but how creepy is it for this person you've met only once or twice to show up at your farewell? And I won't know any of the other people there. So he'll just leave and I'll probably never know where or why he went. And it makes me sad.
