Time For The Meet & Greet

Pairing Off For Another Adventure

This sunday my friend and her girlfriend invited us all out for drinks, as sort of a 'meet-the-girlfriend' type deal. Some of us have already met her, for everyone else it'll be a first encounter. I've known both people for years, one was my best friend for about seven years, in fact. Then things got a little complicated, for reasons i don't really need to go in to.

I'm worried about this weekend. Not only do i have no boyfriend to bring along so that the couple thing can be fullfilled, but the new girlfriend has isn't really my biggest fan. I'm a little afriad of confrontation and the fallout. I don't exactly have the longest fuse, temper wise. It's not entirely out of the question that there could be a giant blow up...

PirateBoy offered to come and keep me on the leash, but i don't think he knows what he would be getting himself into.

This isn't even considering the fact that i don't do well in Noah's Ark-like situations. You know the ones; where all of your friends are with their boyfriends/girlfriends. Even though you know it's not the case, you feel like a complete third wheel. We had a girls dinner last week, where Miha and i were the only two without a partner. We decided to go around this by spending the evening as each others lesbian lover, but that was only a temporary solution. This sunday, i just don't know if Miha and i will be in luck.

I'm a little stressed out as to how the afternoon will go... i don't do well in social situations at the best of times, let alone with added stress... not to mention the fact that i have hundreds of pages to read for uni!! (Completely unrelated, just currently adding to the stress...)
