3 Parts to 2 Parts

I'm torn on what to do.  The Indigo Girls are coming to Milwaukee and playing with the Milwaukee Symphony.  Part of me would love to go to that concert.  But another part of me actually really, really dislikes live performances - they change the words, timing, etc and I usually don't like it near as much as I like their recordings.   Weird, I know.  And there is a bonus part of me that wants to be frugal and not go if I'm not sure I'd like the live performance - why waste the money when I could make my own concert of my favorites of theirs from recordings I already own.

I had been planning on going to this concert with a friend - but that friend has been getting worse and worse about following through with commitments.   As the picture says - they've been treating me and others like options - and if something better comes along she changes plans and cancels.   She's done it the last two years for the Marathon.  She's doing it now for this concert.  And so many other events.  It's become too much of a pattern and its causing a few of us to laugh and talk about her behind her back.  I've tried to talk directly to her about this - but she blew me off. 

Part of me wants to go to the concern without her - I hate that her lack of commitment is keeping me from doing something I want to do.   I tried to get someone else to go, but she's not really an Indigo Girls fan and while she would go to support me, she doesn't really want to go and I don't want her to go under those circumstances.  

I could go by myself and I'm mainly ok with that.  In fact there is a part of me that really likes that idea - I used to do more by myself and I think its a good trait and skill to have the confidence to go alone.   But the theater is assigned seats and the web page keeps putting me in the middle of the row - it selects the 'best available' seat.  While that may very well be a better seat but I'd still prefer to seat on an aisle if I'm going alone.   And preferably with the row to myself.

So I'm up to 5 parts of me - part 1 wants to go because I like the Indigo Girls music, part 2 doesn't want to go because I don't like all the changes artist tend do when live,  part 3 doesn't want to spend the money (really an offshoot of part 2);  part 4 wants to go to get back at Nancy, part 5 wants to go because its good to exercise and strengthen those 'confidence when alone' muscles-- I may be Sybil with so many points of view?!?! LOL.

The math says I should go - 3 parts to 2 parts.   I'll keep you posted on whatever I end up doing.
