A surprise!

Interestingly, MfW hasn't been beating down my door looking to head out to the pub. I thought that would have been a dead cert given the events of the middle of the week. I'm half-glad, half-disappointed. I wouldn't have minded another night out at my favourite pub, but I had already decided that it would be a quiet weekend after last night and I have semi-planned to go to the gym tomorrow morning, which would almost definitely be ruled out if I were in the pub.

On the other hand, if MfW had suggested a few drinks, I'd have been right there.

Old friends.

I'm feeling a bit 'meh' today. I was out last night with a crowd of people from school for a birthday and I had a great time. I always do with the guys and girls involved, but I kinda realised that I am starting to lose touch with some of them, one guy in particular. This is disappointing because I like to think that I keep in touch with people who are important to me, but it seems that I am not as good at this as I first thought, so I'm going to have to make more effort there.

Perhaps it's only natural to grow apart after more than twenty years of friendship (and hundreds of miles between us physically), but while I have been happy to let others slip away, some I want to keep close, and these guys definitely fall into that category. It's not just me, though. There have been times over the past six years or so when I feel that I am only on the fringe of things - invited as an after-thought to various trips away etc. and while I think part of that is because I'm not in contact as much as I should be, the same applies to the guys, too.

As an aside, when out and about, I saw Date No. 1 in one of the bars we were in. I don't know know if she saw me as she was literally only in and out again, but it would have been funny if she had, seeing as she had been on dates with both myself and M (I can't remember if I even mentioned this part on Baby Needs... and, yes, we have compared notes and found that we both had very similar experiences and opinions of her).

Oh, and during a quick Facebook chat with MM, we've tentatively arranged a night out that I hope will mean MMBF will come along (it should as she was the reason the conversation started in the first place). While I didn't outright admit to attraction to MMBF, it was certainly implied, so I hope that MM took the hint.

Strange things are afoot at the Circle-K

It appears that MfW split up with his girlfriend last night. She started making noises about moving in together and he point blank refused to even talk about it, so she callied it quits there and then! I fully expect him to start suggesting heading out at the weekend.

I miss E.

The title says it all, really, and it's not about taking drugs. After speaking to her tonight, I realise that I miss her terribly.

Dreams, again.

It's been a busy weekend - last minute drinks with M, a christening and our annual SuperBowl party with D and others. Bearing in mind I've had a lot of alcohol and not a lot of sleep, it guess it's unsurprising that my dreams were very weird last night. As usual, I can't really get a grasp on the details, but suffice to say, CAB appeared and QC2 was there, but she'd split up with her long-term partner.

Again, no idea why they appeared. I've not thought about CAB since my last proper conversation with USHW quite a few months ago where she was asking about some of the people I've posted about here. QC2 could be slightly different as she's gone AWOL again, but I've got more incentive to get her out socially (MMBF), but why I would dream that she's single after nearly 20 years of dating the same bloke is beyond me.

Maybe I analyse these too much?

Things that make you go "hmmmm".

I mean to post this yesterday, but I was having a lazy day and watching Star Wars, so wasn't thinking about blogging. The night out on F...
