Timid Woodland Critters

So, I finally ventured out of the house tonight. It was the first time I've gone out since before I went to Virginia. An old friend of mine finally taunted and pressured and hit me with enough guilt to knock me out of my little anti-social trend. Sorry I've been lax in updating things here, too, I'm not sure how closely related the two are, but I'm sure there's some corrolation. I had a great time, hung out at a coffee shop I never knew existed right in the middle of old town that was completely devoid of people I knew (aside from the friend who invited me out), which was nice because the more I think about it, the less I want to associate with almost all of my friends from the last 10 years. A few notable exceptions, Paul and Stacy, I couldn't handle not being able to call them up at any hour of the night just to ask what their plans for the weekend are. Speaking of, I really need to hang out with them, I haven't seen either for more than about 3 minutes since I left for Virginia. Ec, the guy who through repeated phone calls and sarcasm managed to get me to leave the house for somethin other than work. It's really cool that somebody here values me enough to not let me just hermit myself away, even though we hadn't hung out much in the last year or two, I hope to start seein him more regularly. And Edward, though our schedules regularly conflict, and we often disagree, I can't not like the guy. He's like a little brother to me, and as infrequently as I talk to my real younger sibling, he might as well be family. If you're a FoCo local and aren't on that extremely short list, don't assume I never want to speak to you again until you try, or, I bump in to you somewhere in town and ask you to not bother calling me. If you're reading this it isn't likely I want to sever all ties to you, I'm just tryin to get a reaction. :P

In other, slightly less melodramatic news, this weekend is my Grandma Kramer's 80th birthday, and the entire clan's coming home to celebrate. It's always such a treat seeing my extended family, I just hope I can remember everyone's name.
