together

last night my friends who are dating had another bonfire and so they invited me over. obviously, i said yes, and it was so fun. i asked if there were turkey dogs and my friend said no but there were tofurkey dogs. they turned out to be awful, so i went to the store to get us turkey dogs. i also drove another girl home - this is the cool girl i mentioned who has the awful boyfriend. she spent the car ride telling me about how living with a romantic partner is boring and dreary and the reason people do it is so they don't have to be alone. when i got back to my friends' house i asked them if they liked cohabitation and they said yes, very much. the girl said she likes that she had someone to do boring chores like grocery shopping and cleaning with, because it makes them seem less dull. the boy said he likes being able to see his girlfriend all the time and he likes being there when she comes home from work. anyway we concluded that the girl i drove home is probably just very unhappy in her relationship which is understandable because her boyfriend, and i really can't emphasize this enough, sucks.

i mentioned that i'm going to an art thing tomorrow - i asked the girl to come with me and she said yes and seemed very excited. she says her boyfriend doesn't like things like that, so she doesn't usually go. i wondered why she didn't just go by herself, or why he didn't just go with her anyway, but i didn't say anything about that. i texted her earlier but she hasn't responded so i don't know what's happening with that.

the person i like invited me to have drinks with him and his friends before the art thing. i haven't responded yet, though i think i will go, but i'm sort of sad that i won't get to hang out alone with him. his friends are smart and interesting but i feel like they see me as very childish. and i don't much like sitting there listening to people i hardly know talking about people i've never met. oh well. maybe it won't be so bad.
