softly softly

It was two of my best friends birthdays over the last 7 days. P had his birthday last friday, and on M’s birthday, had his party. Effectively stealing it. On the upside, M got happy birthday song sung to him aswell and he gorged himself on cake :)
It was a good night. It was the first time I had been in a party situation with no partner to snuggle or cuddle up with in a long long time. I think maybe it was a good thing. I found I was particularly vocal in giving my opinion and making comments, and I made a bad pun at the expense of the TV show 24. I said something to the effect of, anymore of those series coming out and they’ll have a box set called 168. This got some laughter and groans.

V made a comment that i seemed sharper and more vicious, a side of me she hadn’t seen before. I commented to her that it’s always been there, just haven’t had it on display for everyone to see. I guess she’s never seen it, but I felt uninhibited. Not sure if I was flirting with one guy, but we’ve met before and I’ve given him lifts home after previous parties, and I did again last night. He has changed since the last time I saw him. Sides with M there, I hope I didn’t do anything to make him feel upset.

Speaking of upset, he hasn’t rung me today. We’re supposed to be going out tomorrow. I do think I am over us. I get sad when i think about it, his issues, and how i was lied to, but I get upset when I think about one of my ex best friends betraying me. So, I don’t think it means I yearn for him. More like, I care that he hurts and I want him to feel better about us, and himself.

Wasn’t the gridlock in Perth traffic absolutely fascinating? We watched cars not move from our office windows, and thought, it will be clear by the time we go home…. what a crock. Took me an hour to get out of the city and I parked at the causeway!

Slack weekend coming up for me, and I am very happy about that.
