socializing help: There’s this great performance I want to see, but it’s tomorrow night and I haven’t got anyone to go with me. - Help.com

hahaha… very unlikely, Eris. i’m in Philadelphia.

i usually don’t mind going to things alone. but live performance in a social setting… that’s pushing it. i will be the only single person in a group of 25 couples in a highly visible setting.

most of my friends in philadelphia are other students who are already gone for the holidays. believe me, i’ve been asking and asking :)

hmmm… Maine isn’t exotic enough. just for the oddity of it, i wouldn’t mind shipping someone in from Canada, Argentina, or Europe.

well, you can always redeem yourself and move someplace like New York City.

well Eris, if you want to be a nurse, you’re probably going to end up leaving Maine soon enough. that’s kind of exciting.

funny, khyron. it never would have occurred to me. the thing is, that wouldn’t solve my problem. i’m not concerned about the appearance of being alone. it’s the feeling that i don’t like. and hiring a call girl would go a long way toward making me feel worse.

i don’t know how i managed to be in philadelphia all these years and only become friends with other students. that was a mistake i won’t repeat.

thanks khyron and eris. good luck in florida (or wherever warm you end up), eris.

time to head off, do the remaining dishes, and get to bed. goodnight!
