I forgot to mention that the title of my last posting was in celebration of my best friend's birthday. 26. We went to Fat Tuesday's, a cool New Orleans style bar in the Market. I was running late (as usual) and when I got there, I couldn't find anybody! That's got to be one of the worst feelings in the world - walking into a bar and not knowing a soul when you know you're supposed to be meeting someone. And...I had a bright pink gift bag in my hand (her gift, that was yet to be delivered by Amy, who was supposed to be meeting me there) which didn't exactly help me feel inconspicuous. Turns out they were in the corner, and I just didn't recognize some of the people she was with, and they didn't see me right away either. Minor inconvenience I guess.

I had a good time. Amy had to leave early because she was exhausted. It was the first time I had hung out with K in a really long time. It was nice. Her friends are nice too. Mostly government, MPA-program people. And almost all of them are coupled up. It's kind of annoying, actually, to continually meet people who could be potentially interesting to date, only to discover they are married/engaged/in a long-term relationship. Boo on that. K's friend Jim seemed like a pretty cool guy - he's engaged. K's friend G is single, and she wanted to set me up with him a while back, but the first time I met him, although we hit it off from the beginning, I didn't get the vibe that he was interested in me as more than a friend. He's probably secretly (or not so secretly) in love with K, the way most guys are. And the poor dear is completely oblivious to it most of the time. *sigh* Maybe someone is secretly in love with me and I just don't know it yet!
