My first alum meeting.
Tonight was my first Theta alum meeting. It was at this great book store I've been wanting to go to that looks really cute. It was my first real time to meet new friends finally!! But I didn't go. I got nervous. I had good intentions, I even showered and got kinda ready. I went to Von Maur, instead. I'm just really socially awkward in situations like the one I expected to encounter tonight. I pictured myself walking in alone and then seeing the group of girls and having to go up and introduce myself , and yes, I am pathetic because really this doesn't sound all that bad. I just don't understand why we couldnt have the meetings at like a bar or something, so then I could prime before. I would just feel bad walking into a book store already drunk. Not that I need to be drunk to meet new people, I just prefer it. I've just realized the only chance at meeting new friends will be in high schools. I better start liking the office staff or offering to buy the kids alcohol. Those are my two choices at this point in time. Maybe I could get invited to some house parties or something, that could be fun. Live the high school life I was never really able to live because I was always too scared to drink during basketball season. Definitely glad I stayed dedicated though, if not I might have never gotten that scholarship to play ball at USC. And then I would have never gotten to take Sid's spot when she tore her knee up. Oh wait, that didn't happen for me, I'm not Monica. I'm white. Ya, I wasn't even really that good in high school. I sure wasted a lot of sober nights at home being "dedicated" the more I think about it. If I could give real advise to high school kids I'd tell them to drink the hell out of their high school nights because chances are they won't play sports after so what in the hell does it really matter. Drinking in high school will only get them better prepared for college. Because if you dont drink in high school you'll be that girl who passes out in her dorm room before even making it out. Or who passes out while out. Or in a booth. Or a car. Sometimes standing up. Bitter? Me? Never.
