texts: I want to be wanted

This has happened to me a few times -- enough for me to make a comment.

Situation:

I have plans. I plan to meet friends at a said location at a said time.

I'm expressing to another friend said plans, and I suggest my other friend come and join the soiree.

My other friend tells me, "Well, text me when you get there."

Here's my problem: If there's a set time and location for an event and you want to be texted when it happens, you're imposing your supposed importance upon the event. You are not special in that the event must remind you to come to it. I don't care if you want to be wanted -- I don't want the responsibility to remember to let you know what I'm doing. That's what Twitter is for, and if y'all would use it, I'd be happy to send stupid reminders and updates of what's going on in my life because it's surely not exciting enough for you to make plans beforehand.

Sorry for the rant. Thank god the weekend's here.
