It is Saturday night and I’m at home. I spent last night at home, too. I’m starting to think this is a downward trend. I’m 25 years old. I should be able to find something fun to do every night.
I guess I need to stop expecting plans to just make themselves and start being proactive. I just got so used to being overbooked, I stopped planning anything.
Next Saturday is the first Dragon*Con staff meeting, so I should have something fun to do after that. I should talk to Monet about Friday night. Well, that’s progress for next weekend.
I think I know something about what you’re talking about. I know that friends wonder where the heck I am sometimes. It’s not that I don’t _want_ to be social. It’s partly that I just don’t think of it on my own. It’s also partly that my life to a certain extent is a series of temporary obsessions. I get really interested in something, and it ends up consuming most of my concentration for a while. I’m terrible at splitting my concentration and making time for lots of different things and people. That means lots of people in my life (who I care about very much) don’t end up hearing from for a while (sometimes a long while).
*shrug* I don’t know if that describes you at all, but I’m just saying I think I know a little how you feel.
I have the same problem. I get started on something, like packing, and next thing I know, its 8pm on a Saturday night and I have no plans.
I also tend to be hessitant to go to events, if I don’t know that people I know will be there. So when my friends say they “might stop by” or were “thinking about it” but don’t give a definite arrival time, I tend to stay home to avoid the posibility of having to talk to stangers or being that person who no one knows.
