First I was supposed to see Bill for some girlie action drinking and chatting, but she ended up getting her new computer tonight. My friends all had plans, Gord’s out of town girlfriend was in town, T was going to the Thievery Corporation concert, so I was left with a Friday night by myself, which is fine when you want to be alone, but I didn’t.

Feeling strangely sorry for myself, I was preparing to spend an evening of home Dance Dance Revolution (shut up, it was T’s xmas gift - but that’s a whole blog in itself) when Gord and his girlfriend called to ask me to have dinner with them. After an odd dinner during which they had a big row because he won’t move to Israel with her, the three of us headed to my place to watch a DVD. The whole time, I’m playing phone tag with a guy who wants to exchange apartments with me. Anyway, we’re 20 minutes into the movie, and the couple with me is fully reconciled and googly-eyed, when T calls and complains that none of his friends showed up at the concert, and he’s stuck alone with a newly formed, googly-eyed couple.

Leaving my own googly-eyed couple at my apartment with my keys, I hop in a cab to the rescue of my man. We have a few drinks with his googly-eyed couple until eleven when the show starts. Since I don’t have a ticket, I head home and catch the end of the movie with my googly-eyed couple. Even in the cab rides, I’m playing phone tag with the apartment man.

So I didn’t really have dinner with my friends, didn’t really talk to the apartment man, didn’t really see a concert, didn’t really see the movie. Tonight was like a hockey game that ends 0-0… lots of little beginnings and nothing really coming to fruition. Not that that’s always bad.

Everyone have a lovely weekend.
