My boyfriend likes to do stuff without me, which is normal, BUT I feel left out a lot!

So, He's been reeeaaaallly busy lately, not with work just busy having fun. We've been dating for a year and he claims all of these activities have been planned a year in advance. Its literally been two straight weeks of him hanging out, without me! There's been a festival, video game convention and vacation (and two parties). I've seen him once, for like four hours when he was on the way to a party. by the way we live exactly 11mins apart. All of these things he says "are obligations". Am I just being petty? Also he's kind of a flake so I don't understand why he can't flake on these things. He will cancel dates and plans with not only me but with other friends too.

So, am I being petty or should he be paying me more attention. I don't know if this is important but he texts me CONSTANTLY whether he knows I'm busy or not. He whines when I'm busy which I think is really inconsiderate but, during his two week fun fest he doesn't text me at all or texts me randomly and stops abruptly. When I text him back he gives short partial answers and makes me feel like I'm bothering him. My boyfriends favorite line is "I'll text you after its over"...and then doesn't even when I know its over! But if he wants to see me, he expects me to be flexible. We've had discussions about him being more thoughtful and he was trying. Now it seems like he doesn't actually care.

Last and worst of all, I try to ask him if he's having fun and texts him every few hours, and pretend like I'm excited for him and he's just oblivious. I say stuff like " I hope you're having an awesome time, doing such and such or are you having fun?" (Does that sound fake or too eager) and his response is Like "yeah, I'm having an AMAZING time, yadda, yadda yadda...on and on" And then as an after thought "I miss you or I love you" And then he won't ask about my day or anything and after his update he won't text me back...like until I text him goodnight. (at which point he's annoyed because he's not busy and in the mood to talk!)

So what should I do or say? (once he texts me back of course) should I sound annoyed, I don't want to sound clingy. Should I say

mention my feelings or not? I want to explain my feelings without sounding petty, because he hates "emotional drama"
