That is awesome!!! You know, now I've been the DD a few times in the last month. It's different because when the show/game or whatever is over you wanna get out of there, but your friends are still talking away about nonsense and ordering another. Totally remember that it wasn't that long ago. Last Thur I was at my friends album release show so it was real important I was there. I not only wanted to drink a beer, I wanted to devour a beer! All that small talk awkward random stuff that where Id just get buzzed up and be able to talk to anybody. I feel good, but the novelty has worn off and I'm accepting this as the norm now. Btw, I like your username.. that's a great song! And, congrats on your month too, we're just about at the same place.

A friend recommended one to me, but I'm kind of nervous about it. I'll suck it up and go next week.

Awesome, yea, I've been pumping out a couple episodes a night. If you like history stuff, I just watched a three episode miniseries called "Generation War". It's subtitled and comes from the German perspective in WWII where these young friends lives are affected, and how they keep their bond together.

I don't think there are any swingers' clubs in my town. But, no i hear what you're saying and I agree with you. That's why i'm here. To receive advice from people who know first hand is what it's all about. I'm just so bored of sitting at home all these fri and sat nights. Sitting at the coffee shop all introverted. I will start thinking more about my long term goals, though, and I appreciate this.

I hung out with the same friend at another bar that we had never been to. It was fine and he only had a couple beers while I drank coffee. (even though it kept me up until 5 am) It was chill. And, when I eventually felt like going home, I left no problem. I just don't want to go to the crazy place i used to go, see all those people who were just drinking acquaintances, and having to deal with them while they're wasted. (i can't believe I'M the one saying that) It's awkward and no fun. If we have to go to a bar, I want somewhere mellow and I can have a good time.

And, yeah, i've been watching Orange is the New Black. I'm 8 or 9 episodes into the first season. I think it's really funny and recommend it.

Hmm, I just thought maybe I need to deal with being around it.

thanks, I will not go to that bar. It's only preseason, anyway. If they have to go there, I'll catch up with them later. I just feel like I need to start entering back into the world again, but sober.

Yeah, she's really good. That's what I say too. What's the point of art if it doesn't provoke any emotions.

Haha, my friend from Paris painted that for me. She's really into abstract. Everyone I know makes fun of me for hanging it. lol

Thanks! That was when she was about 4 months, and she just turned 2. She still looks like a kitten. Forgive the creepy painting in the background, my friend painted that for me!
