So last night was good. It was a young single adult activity in K'zoo which is typical on Fridays out here. By that I mean to say that it's typical that they have those activities, not that it's typical that I go. I would like to go to all of them and every other young single adult activity that they have out here, but a lack of gas and money in addition to friends who work too much and the distance to travel make it rather more improbable then I would otherwise like it to be. In spite of that improbability however I was able to make it last night. And of course the night that I do make it up there no one else does...well, that's not true...the two girls that I went with were there...Oh, fine there were a few other people there too. That doesn't change the fact that on those Friday nights that I am not able to make it up there for some reason and my other friends go they will inevitably bring back stories of how many people were there and the amazing activities that took place, and then of all the many times that I've been up there I have only ever been to one such like that, and according to these same friends that time was nothing by comparison... Now, I know that it would be illogical for me to somehow take this personally but to miss all of the best activities within a years span...I don't really know how else to take it... For that reason I have decided not to "take it" at all. Live in denial, that's what I'm about. Of course none of that really has anything whatsoever to do with last night...I just wanted to take this opportunity to vent a little. That being accomplished we may now continue our previous narrative.
The activities were few though varied (actually there were a pretty good number considering the amount of time that we fit them in...I just thought that "few though varied", though simple in nature, was rather impressive word choice). We talked a lot, played ping pong, played uno, and played a game called "apples to apples" or something very like that. It was all very fun, but there is one lesson that shall remain with me from it all. I have learned that while one girl may be harmless enough, to allow yourself to be outnumbered two to one by two such girls is shear insanity! I don't advise this. I was picked on, and bashed to no end. If I got a point in ping pong, no matter how legal, somehow it didn't count, the rules existed only insofar as the girls had made them up that far, and it was useless to try and use those rules against them because as soon as you did that the rule would change...and that's not even the half of it! By the end of the evening the only thing that I could do is find some corner of my mind to hide out it, a happy place if you will. Yet as a demonstration of how socially starved I am I actually enjoyed it...I guess at this point the only thing that I can say is, "hang the sense of it and be happy."
