I didn’t go to the happy hour tonight, which shows incredible self-control.
Laundry, cooking, and *gasp* even some reading.
I picked up a few books off amazon, chatted it up with more then
a few tipsy friends (which is more fun when you’re equally
intoxicated), and just had a very chill evening.Being single in the City is in fact a good thing. Very different
from the ‘burbs life. And hopefully i’ll have a few visiting
friends in the coming weeks. Oh, I also talked to my friend
Yolanda (get this…shes got that name and shes caucasian) tonight and
I may (finally) go visit her at WVU. Since shes right outside
Pitt, maybe i’ll catch a game at the ballpark that Laz calls one
of the best in the majors. It has to be better than Three
Rivers.
I guess I could swing over to Philly and
see their ballpark too, but I haven’t talked to Jenni in ages, so
that would be odd…..As of tomorrow night at about 5pm, i won’t be on-call for two
straight weeks. Thank goodness! I had fun the last
two, even with being on call, but not having to worry about
it makes a serious difference!I could go into stock-geek mode and rave about Amylin’s conference call
today, but I’ll spare you all from that. One day,
their drugs will be household names. And people won’t have to
worry so much about their control of diabetes. Anyway….I’m thinking I should hit either Grace Cathedral or Glide Memorial on
Sunday. I’ve been to Glide once before and it was a good time
(even though Maya Angelou flaked on us!) but I think attending a
service at Grace Cathedral would be a cool experience as well.
I’ve had a few weird experiences around churches, memories I just
can’t shake. So it always makes me wonder….then again,
i’ll probably sleep in on Sunday and miss the services as usual.
Might end up with tickets to tomorrows Giants game, of course one
friend of mine is in Romania, another is going to Massachusetts
for ten days tomorrow evening, and yet another friend of mine is
preparing for a South Africa horticulture-geek adventure. I’d
give other friends a call, but now I’m feeling guilty that i’ve
been calling on them too much to hang out. (yes it is in fact
true.) I do that sometimes, since i’m one who prefers to
have a few close friends then a ton of people in my life who I just
sort-of know. I know we all feel that way, but this has
rang especially true for me. Even back in college, with the
fraternity life, I had that bond with my fraternity
brothers. Sure I knew a ton of people through all the various
activities I was involved in, but for the most part, my
closest friends were from the house or those who always hung out around
our house. I love meeting new people, but i’m very
guarded and don’t let many people close to me. Another reason why
i’m single, perhaps? Who knows.I guess i’m rambling….and I’m not even tipsy tonight.
