This is why my mom always had a strict policy of making me call wherever I was. It's now better given that a) I'm going to be 25 in two weeks and b) I have a cell phone so she can call me if she's worried, but don't you remember how every time we were all out late I'd have to find a phone and call her? In return, if I called and had a problem (like when I got a ride to the Hello, Dolly! cast party with D'arcy Izard and then she got drunk), she would always pick me up, no questions asked

You can't control whether other people care... That's their perogative.
It's not your fault if you let them down, bother them, inconvenience them, whatever... Does it have consequences? Inevitably, but that doesn't make it right or wrong.
All you can do is try to objectively make the most reasonable choice based on the information you have. The ramifications aren't irrelevant, but they're not only factor.
All any of can say looking back on things is that we did what we thought we should do. If you can say that, then there's nothing left to regret. We're not gods. We're not omniscient or infallible. We're all merely struggling to do the best we can every day.
I just wish you the comfort that you're never as irresponsible as you worry you might be (or have been), it's never too late, and your own inconvenience IS a factor that matters.
for the story about your mom, I guess I can apply this logic and feel better when I do those sorts of things: if I were the person expecting someone and I slept that night and woke up the next morning to find out that they'd spent the night outside in the snow, how bad would I feel? I'd probably always prefer to be interupted ;9 even if it isn't someone close, there's a certain amount one is just going to care about people anyways. As for you, sorry, you have friends. by definition, they care about you. tough life, I know ;9 ... by the way... how's your muraling space?... ... ...

I love you. I love you enough to want to know if you don't want to date me, even, as we sort of saw recently. =)
I care about how you're doing, and I want to know how you're doing.
I honestly don't have too few spoons to deal. Really.
