Yikes, Cashmere.
I need some advice. A guy that I'm kind of friendly with, who I haven't seen in about a year, is going to be in town next weekend, and he sent out an email to a bunch of his DC friends, asking if people wanted to get together sometime. I'd like to see him, but I'm just about positive that one of the other people he asked is this guy that I was seeing for a little while, and I really don't want to see him. (Not that I don't like him, just that it would be incredibly awkward.) It would probably be just like four or five people, so not a group size where I could avoid him. Any suggestions? I'm leaning toward just going and dealing with the awkwardness, but it'll be REALLY awkward.
Cashmere, I am so relieved that you and your family are safe.
Go, Hil. if you have mutual friends, it is better to face him sooner , rather than later. Just think of a really good excuse to leave if it gets/stays awkward
heeyyyyyyyy... looks like I got an A on my exam and my spring class!
Of course you did.
(It was great to meet you.)
I skipped a million posts and I have the F2F crud. There's a giant snotmonster in my sinuses.
I have the F2F crud
Wow, it's like a mini version of the "new workplace" crud, or the spread of bugs with the advances of travel that led to the whole "never trust strangers" attitude among.....
Okay, I over extrapolated again. I think I hurt something this time.
Maybe it's time for steak. I wonder if the winds have died down enough for the grill...
Before I go grillin'...
Artificial sweeteners speed alcohol into blood
LOS ANGELES (Reuters Health) - Alcoholic drinks made with artificial sweeteners lead to a high rate of alcohol absorption, resulting in a greater blood alcohol peak and concentration than from drinks made with sugar-based mixers.
Huh. I almost always drink diet soda, except I can't stand the tast of diet soda mixed with booze and must use the sugared kind.
Go, Aimee! Learn!
Congrats on your A, Nora!
Cashmere, I'm so glad you and yours are safe. Very scary.
Hil, I would advise you not to miss out on seeing someone whose company you enjoy, and whose presence will only be fleeting. The older I've gotten (and the longer I am out of school) the more my friends have scattered, and I wish it didn't happen that way. Grab the opportunity. (Guess who is missing the F2F crowd and sorry she didn't spend more time with people?)
Work is going to kil me ded tomorrow. Too many meetings, and too much work likely to result from those meetings. Please stop the clock now, while I am home in my comfy clothes, please.
Though giving the matter some thought, I think there is a possibility I would wind up calling a kidlet of my very own 'woolly penguin'.
Ooh. Well, you could have multiple children, and call ONE naked mole rat, and the OTHER wooly penguin!
Hil, you should reply to all and tell him you'd love to come. That way, AwkwardBoy can know you're coming, and decide for himself whether awkward is acceptable or not.
Cash, that is very freaking creepy, especially that a bystander got shot!
