jt__'s is way better than mine.
the ィ changes the デ (de) into something like a "dy" or "di"...
and i have no idea why i used a "nu" there at the end >_< the "n" is the natural choice =P

As for little ゎ, it is not for cheating anti-spam filtering.
it is just a fashonable character among young Japanese girls.
for example, my younger 大バカ sister uses ゎ, ぁ, ぃ, or ぅ etc in mobile phone-mail like this:
I'm 15 y/o.
ぁたしゎ15さぃです。(あたしは15歳です。)
これは簡単なセンテンスだから、まだ簡単に読めますけど、
実際はもっと長いので、慣れないと、非常に読みづらいです。

このセンテンスは、最初から日本語だったんでしょうか？
推測ですが、元のセンテンスが英語などの外国語で、
その文のどこかに"plan"（または、それに近い意味の単語）という単語があって、
それを「企画」と訳したから、違和感があるのだと思います。
「会えなくてとても残念ですけれども、まあ、予定は変わる事がよくありますからね。」
企画→予定
これなら別におかしくないような気がするのですが、どうでしょうか？
Is this sentence originally Japanese?
I guess the original sentence was English and had(included?) the word "plan" somewhere, and someone translated that word into 企画.
Therefore, the sentence seems to be unnatural to you.
I think, in this case, "Plan" should be translated into 予定.

A native speaker would generally use 予定 or プラン, but this is actually an original Japanese sentence. Furthermore, for change of plans I've often heard 変更になる as opposed to 変わったりする. :?
Small wonder I didn't follow her logic, indeed.
Restated to clearly capture the intended meaning : 今回企画が変わったので、残念ですが会えません (deshita)。 予定が変更になるのはよくあるから、気にしないでくださいね。
In English, on the other hand, there really is no satisfying translation of the original sentence. Which shouldn't stop you from attempting it, Pox....

ou! Thats the one ^^ Arigatoo! (bumbing the song trough my speakers right now =D)
I'll just translate the sentence...Elizabeth said:気にしないでくださいは「あなたを嫌っている訳ではないです」と言う意味が言葉の裏側に隠れています。
Can someone explain this more concretely....or does "ki ni shinaide kudasai" always have this reverse implication of not necessarily (it isn't a matter of) disliking your target partner ?
The term "Please don't worry about it" has the following hidden meaning, if you read between the lines: "I do not dislike you [because of what you did]".
It' s just a "social psychology" take on the phrase "please don't worry about it" that you say when someone is apologizing to you. It's a jargony way of expressing the concept of forgiveness. Sounds like the sort of thing Derrida used to get up to (not that I know much about it).

I actually do know waaay too much about social psychology.....but used this expression as a roundabout way of apologizing myself ("If you are busy, please don't worry about responding"), anyway,Scrivener said:
which should have been closer to 気にしなくてもいいよ。 There was a misimpression on my part of it being more politely neutral than is apparently the case. 
A few short corrections (ちょっと訂正ね)
Was this sentence originally Japanese? or Is this sentence from a native speaker ?
I think that if the original sentence was English, someone might have translated 'plan' into '企画.'
Therefore the sentence seems unnatural to you.

友達同士の会話なら、「企画が変わったりする」でも特に問題は無いと思いますよ。
ちょっとimpoliteな言い方な気もしますけどね。 :?
I think 「企画が変わったりする」 is not bad if that phrase is used in a conversation among friends.(あってますか???)
and
thanks a lot for those corrections!

It means that the person in question doesn't have a fixed type of person that they go for. Whatever person they've fallen for, that person's their type.
I used to answer the same way when my Japanese friends would ask me what my "type" is -- I'll know when I meet her.

企画(予定)が変更になるのはよくあることですから、気にしないでくださいね。
「あることですから」の部分で「あること」がいつも使用されていますか。
友達同士の会話で「企画が変更になるのはよくあることですから」という言い方も丁寧すぎておかしいですか。 :?

A couple Q's:
1) なったんじゃない <-- why is the "n" between "natta" and "janai"? Does it change the meaning? Or is it still.. "Didn't become" (Is that right?)
2) -くて <-- what is the verb ending "kute" mean? I couldn't find it on the site I'm learning verbs from >.>
3) みせなきゃ <-- what's this mean? The verb ending... I didn't see before.. but is the root word "miseru/show" ?
(I really do appritiate all you people who come here and help us with our many, many, often repeating questions.)
