It is like... in the example; I am so excited to go to the dance, but even if it is canceled... I wouldn't want to hear about it.
oooohkey, but eventually when you show up and there's no one there, the doors are locked and you hear no music, you eventually have to face reality that there ain't no dance.
**SLAP to the face** "SNAP OUT OF IT" Start facing reality.... you're going to start scaring the kids.
