social rox

[supercheesegirl]

so tonight i was super social. i went out with the SAI girls here at UNCG--we had a Secret Event (haha) and then went to Ham's Restaurant for dinner. we had to wait a while for a table, since there were 20 of us, but the food was good and the conversation was good and it was fun. then i got back to jorn's house (without stopping at my house to change, so i was still all SAIed up) and he's like, hey let's go play pool with danielle! so i changed my top at least (into one of jorn's t-shirts) and went. i wish i had been able to change my sandals, b/c i wore the black flip flops that always hurt my feet. i didn't think i'd be walking around so much. anyway, we played pool w/ danielle and four of her friends. it was fun. i made two shots, in a row even. the one guy friend of danielle's was all talking to me about me being a poet and stuff. he was one of those sociable chatty guys who likes sports, you know at least eight guys like him i bet. and i don't know, maybe i don't "hang out" enough, but i felt so awkward. i was feeling like it was because i was wearing my glasses, but i don't know. maybe it's because jorn is the only person i talk to on a regular basis. i feel varying degrees of awkward talking to everyone else. even, like, my roommate and my mom. but tonight was especially awkward i felt. so even though my sim social meter is way up, i'm still a bit sad.

and tomorrow, all the SAI girls are having a social time (again, i know) and going to cici's pizza for lunch and then to a movie, and i can't go to lunch b/c i'm stuck working at teh HLC 10-12, but they don't know which movie they're going to (they want to see Sweet Home Alabama, which plays at 1, 1:30, and 2). and since i can't go for lunch, i can't go to the movie either. margie said she'd email out a specific movie time, but she didn't, so i can't go. grump grump.

and speaking of teh HLC, thad tried to convince me not to quit. again. two weeks after i told him i'm quitting. i had told him i'd stay till the end of september, so i was figuring my last day would be tomorrow, but apparently he took me literally and put me on the schedule for monday. i am a bit pissy. that makes three weeks since i quit, not two. i want to be done with this job, since i decided finally that i am. grr.

god, what a downer post. sorry, y'all.

Dear Rox,
You did not seem awkward at all! It was just an entirely weird way to hang out with people you don't know very well at all, what with it being loud and other big things (um, pool tables) to concentrate on. You were fine. And the reason I invited Steven/Stephen is because he is incredibly chatty and tends to pull people together - I like that about him (and in addition to the sports stuff, he's a sociology prof, so that kinda sets him apart). Please do not be sad.
Ok, I am writing this in the public library (internet use will be up tomorrow at my house), and I am five minutes over my usage time. I have to go. Hey, Jorn, if you're reading this, I arrived ok! I didn't have time to send you the email that said so, sorry. Big party on Oct 19! Y'all come down here. I mean it. Now! Ok, they're pulling me off of the computer with a big shepherd's cane.

xo,
danielle

I am going to try to cheer up your downer post with a completely random, unrelated thing.
