February 2 2010: Social Butterfly: Never Say No
Filed under Friends & Life with 13 Comments
Along with my semi-resolution to not purchase any item of black clothing this year in an attempt to act my age, I have also decided that I’m not going to say no to any invitations this year unless I have a genuine and logical reason. It’s part of the attempt to stop being the social hermit that I was last year, and to get out, have fun, and meet new people. I will willingly admit that as we were in a new relationship, Dylan and I got entirely too caught up in each other last year and declined all invitations in order to stay snuggling in bed together – which really, isn’t at all socially healthy. We need to be our own people and have our own interests too.
Of course, this resolution does pose a problem when I’m Facebook-invited to a gig that someone‘s band is playing – something that really, I have no interest in whatsoever because it’s entirely not my scene. Seeing a bunch of boring and mundane people from high school that I have nothing in common with isn’t high on my to-do list. Yet, I can’t exactly say no because of this stupid resolution and I have no other real excuse to give.
So, my solution is to hold my own event so I have an excuse to say thanks, but no thanks. I’ve decided – zombie movie marathon on Friday night anyone? Anyone?
