I am accustomed to a very LARGE social circle. And OMG scared by the concept of having to create one. It's been a while. And I worry that maybe it's easier to create one in a transient place like DC, or when you're 22. Erm.
I did it! Well, kinda. My social circle is def. much smaller than what it was, but it's still a good one. It is harder, but do-able. Especially if you keep up with the kinging.
I put a lot of stock by how people are dressed. I don't mean labels or any of that shit - people can look just as awesome in Target stuff as they can in Chanel - just how they are put together.
I am with Aimee on this. (Just not on the gauchos front.)
This comic is particularly appropriate, given this discussion: [link]
My knit gauchos were my painting pants all weekend. They are hereby ruined and will never be seen by the general public again.
Meara--you will have a whole new swath of girls to kiss! Which you totally will, I am sure.
By the way, we ordered this couch [link]
on Saturday. It will have mostly-olive-green-with-some-gold-flecks upholstery. It cost us $999 on sale, which is still more than I have ever spent on a piece of furniture before. We figure it is worth the investment, since with a dog and two cats, it will last us forever because we can get the cushions recovered. Still--a grand, whoa.
Heh. I was thinking of that very comic, Steph!

Oh, i'm definitely thinking of that part. :)
Took shower. No FedEX. BOO

You say that as though you have more than the one pair of gouchos.

I do.
My two pair of twill gauchos are in fine wearing order. In fact, I'll be wearing them to work tomorrow.

Both of them? I want pictures.
Changing at lunch?
How very Diana Ross of you.

I did too. After grad school. It took a while to build up a new group of friends (which ended up including 2 very old friends) but, jesus, 10 years along I'm doing pretty well for myself social circle-wise.
but I didn't have something like the kinging which has a built-in social network complete with fun events. Even if the first people you meet don't end up being long-term friends it will go a long way to helping you create a circle that you like, I bet.
