Socially texting

From KfW2: "We're here for another 2 hours if you want to come in for a drink".

It's 9 PM. The confusion continues. I'm glad she thought about me to send the invite. I'm annoyed that she's fired out a last-minute invite, when she knows that I won't turn up and she knows why I won't turn up.

Then my mind goes into overdrive. If she's invited me out tonight (for what would be less than 90 minutes by the time I got showered, dressed and a cab into the city), then does that mean there are no other plans for the holidays?

I've replied and said "no" but offered to do something... anything... for the next ten days. It's over a year since I've seen her. In a few day's time it'll also be a full calendar year.

Oh, and the reasons for not going out are twofold: First of all, I've covered this before in this post. It's the cost of being an introvert. That's the first reason. The second reason is that I'm just after a HUGE Chinese and I'm stuffed and lethargic.

I've spoken to KfW2 before about these last-minute invites. She's known me for fifteen years. This won't be a surprise to her. And that in itself makes me sad.
