It's hard to justify a party band to somebody with no party plans
I had another song dream last night, but I'm pretty sure that I was thinking of a song that somebody else has already written, so no loss there. I do remember, however, a few nights ago, I had a dream that Dominic got a brand new iPod Nano, and was proudly showing it off. I looked at it, threw it up into the air, pulled out a gun and shot it. Dominic was not noticeably upset. I don't know what that dream means. I do know that I don't like iPods. Maybe that's just all there is to it.
So Dom and Ash and I went to a 'singles' event the other night... which was a bad idea. I wasn't feeling particularly well, and had somehow managed to forget that I really fucking hate people. First of all, the place was far too small for the size of the crowd that attended, so that added a nice claustrophobic air to the surroundings, which I do supremely well in. Secondly, I really don't like going up to people and starting a conversation. I typically won't have anything specific to say to them, and - even more typically - won't care about whatever it is they're talking to me about, should they choose to try. Feigning interest really takes a lot out of me. Perhaps that's why I'm single (well, one of the reasons, anyway. Lack of trying probably has a bit to do with it as well).
Needless to say, I hardly spoke to anyone there (except 'Ted' who was from 'Another Planet', according to his name tag. I, on the other hand, was from the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. A few people commented on how original that was, and I totally failed to respond in any sort of way that would make them think that I was in the same building with them).
So, I seriously doubt that I'll ever go to one of these things again. There's a reason that I don't typically surround myself with a large group of people, despite the fact that I have, what I've been told is an extremely outgoing personality. I should just accept that and move on.
Or, I should go and get really drunk. That'll fix it.
