If Only

[swestrup]

If only I could teleport -- or at least if I lived downtown -- I would be on my way to Hatterz. I got invited to go tonight, and as both blacksquiggles and thebabynancy are going, it would have been fun. Only, I woke up late and didn't notice the invite until recently. It would now take me over two hours to get there, and so it may well be over by the time I arrived -- I have no idea what people's schedules are like.

The worst part is, for once I wouldn't have to head home early, since my plans would be to stay until everyone left, then go have breakfast, then head for the library, etc... No going home involved. Bah.

Now for most folks, not getting to go to a bar is no big thing, but please bear in mind:

• I never, ever went to bars when I was young. Its all a very new thing for me. In fact, it was only last year that I finally worked out that what made bars fun was going with friends you liked. Up until then, my few ever attempts to check them out were lonely and miserable.
  
• I was never invited to go anywhere like that when I was young. Just getting an invite is a novel thing, and I would hate to have them stop coming because I never go.
• I'm currently feeling starved for social company. Our solstice party was fun, but it was the only part I 'went' to this year where I got to meet my friends.

Rest assured, as long as you actually show signs of life, if you don't make it out often, it only increases your mystique. Then when you do come out, it's a big deal, and makes the night memorable.

Dropping off the face of the planet completely is still ill-advised, but as long as we know you still exist and that the reason you don't always make it out is because you live two hours away, and not because you suddenly started hating us or something, we (I) will understand.

Missed you much. Whirlwind visits are always too short. Had I another day in Montreal... we could have hung out. The SMS thing worked out quite poorly.
