Tails of a 17th Street Geisha

I never single out friends, but I had the most fun ever yesterday with my friend Chris (and this isn’t the one who dated Paul, though I love him dearly too!)

I had to go to Loudoun county Virginia for work yesterday… urgh. When I got back into the city, I called Chris to see how he was doing (he had been down in the dumps). We met up at Dupont Circle and had coffee and snacks at Cosi south. It was a gorgeous day out so we decided against my original plan to watch an indie movie at the south side cinema. We ended up hanging out at Olson’s for a bit before heading to his house to read and lay around. We ended up watching this hilarious film about circuit parties and my friend Filip came over to laugh with us.

Filip left and we went to Hank’s, where we got seated in a RECORD-BREAKING 3 minutes (originally, we were told that it would be 45 minutes to an hour!) Thanks to JB and some of my famous velvet-rope tricks.

The food was really good, and over the course of an hour (or 2?), talked a lot about life and deep personal issues. It was crazy! It made me think that counseling could be really good for me. But how can I share my feelings with a counselor, someone I don’t know anything about (like some of you reading this, ha!)

Chris is one of the rare people in my life that I feel REALLY comfortable around. I don’t need to impress him, I don’t ever think I’ll be judged—he’s really open-minded. It makes me think that I should really focus my time and energy on developing connections with those who make me feel comfortable about myself and less with those that make me feel guilty and bad (you know who you are!) Why must I insist on meeting new friends and dividing my time between 40+ people, of whom 1/2 are newly made friendships?  One word: ADHD.
