Does this ever happen to you? So here I sit, completely dressed, looking mildly fly, my hair did, and the place I was supposed to go to....well, I just don't feel like going. You know what? I don't even think I want to go out. I don't even really care what day of the week it is. Suck it.
I like!
No thanks!

yeah...I mean, my options are either "go to a bar for this" or "go to a bar for that"....and I'm not particularly poor, but I don't feel like spending the money. I'd be just as well purchasing a 40 and watching The Royal Tenenbaums. Then sleeping comfortably in my bed without ever having taken a stupid cab.
I'm using this post to influence your future decision making.

Haha, nah, I've learned better that going out really isn't for me unless I'm good friends with everyone there and I have a ride.
I tend to get buzzed and stranded places, not wanting to leave my car, too far gone to drive, and not wanting to spend the night wherever I am.

oh man a 40 and the royal tenenbaums sounds like such a good idea.
I am also staying in, partly because going out would have meant coordinating people, and I wasn't in the mood.

shit...well, I don't have a car so this is rarely a problem for me. and cabs here take credit cards....so I'm a punk without a working bike.

i actually watched that last night on a "date" but now I sort of want to watch it again. I have no clue why. That or my My So-Called Life dvds. Oh...and the 40.
Sarah von Pantyhose said, (179 days ago)
If I had my so called life on dvd I would not leave the house for a month, except to buy that 40 of course. Not that there aren't illicit delivery services for that.

Oh man, me too. My friend begged me via txt message for 20 minutes to come out to this club with some people tonight, and I just wanna sit at home and watch some movies and chill out. I don't care that it's Saturday night.
cat said, (179 days ago)
ah ha! I'd have to walk through my completely creepy neighborhood to the 40 place...so I'll have to work this out in another way. I remember the last time I sat, sort of tipsy, watching My So Called Life...I totally started crying. BUT...in my defense, it was the Christmas episode and I love Ricky so goddamn much!

Oh man, I think I'm doing this tonight.
Sooooo sleepy.
PS: I got shot down for makeouts last night. I'll have to tell you the sad story later!

Sometimes I just want to hang out with my friends.. You know, without a club or bar. That rarely happens anymore during the hours of 9pm-2am. I think tonight, I'll just play some video games.

I had plans to hang out with a friend tonight, and we both decided to just cook dinner together and watch a movie. I am SOOOO glad she was up for that idea, because I really was not in the mood to even try to go out somewhere. I was still social, but got to stay at home and still be sort of lazy. And have quiche.

yeah. sometimes i really just want to dress up, get a little drunk, and dance around the apartment by myself. i mean, at least i know i'll love the music.

i have felt like that, but i never not-go. i don't like flakeyness, and...i dunno. once i commit, i rarely if ever back down. (a couple times, if i'm sick-sick i won't go, but if i'm mentally funk-ish, i just say to myself "well, maybe some good old fashioned social interaction will help". in such cases, it never does.)
cat said, (178 days ago)
who me?
I try not to be a flake.I really do. I hate that quality in people...but it was like a "come if you can" event. So no one was really waiting for me to show.
Garak said, (178 days ago)
oh, no doubt somebody was a-waitin'! ;)
i didn't mean it as a condemnation, anyway.
i hear ya. frankly, i wish i could be a little more like that, sometimes - i try to give equal time amongst friends ("come to my birthday", "come to my baby shower", "come to my girlfriend's brother's bar mitzvah"), but sometimes you just feel like "you know what? i'm not into this tonight..."
i often say to myself, too, "you know, you show up at these things, everyone goes 'Heyyyyyyy' for the first five minutes, and then you spend the rest of the night going, 'Hm, when could i conceivably duck out and not be rude?'"
Garak said, (178 days ago)
so what, in fact, did you do instead? (now that i read the whole post!)
MY SO CALLED LIFE...?
beyonceknowlesitall said, (178 days ago)
Oh snap. I did the same exact thing. Or at least thought it. And ended up not going out.
Oh, yeah. All the time. I get invited to stuff, get ready for it, and then evening rolls around and I think "You know, I kind of just want to play video games and go to bed early."
Good for you paying attention to that. I used to ignore it, and I'd go out and have a shitty time.
