This is the problem you
This is the problem you face when you are "just friends" to a lot of people, from different circles of friends and different interests. Sometimes those groups of friends overlap and you can spend time with both and nirvana springs forth and life is good. Then there are times that all groups are in discord, with one group moving one way, while the other moves one, and a third is way out somewhere in left field. Unfortunately the second condition of friendship is happening today. I have tickets to the Reds game. It is Johnny Bench Bobble Head Day. I love baseball. Read that again, I love baseball. I am going with one group of friends who are somewhat sedate. They are good people and some of my "best" friends are among them. I want to go to the game with because it is baseball, it is very nice outside, and my friends are fun to go out with. Score one for friendship. Also on the agenda is the last "Blast" for the seniors. For those of you not in the know [and judging by the server logs most don't], The Blast is a weekly tradition here at school that the Senior Class populates a local bar, sell tickets, and drunken debauchery ensues. All for a just cause of course - the funds raised go to the Senior Show at the end of the quarter. I want to go and see some of my friends who are seniors. I don't have many who I would call close friends, but there are many that I am close enough to, and have done enough with, to call friends. Then tonight at 8:00 pm is the Fashion Show, for the Fashion Designers to show off their swanky designs. I have friends in fashion design and know some of the models that will be strutting tonight. I want to see the Fashion Show because I have never seen one here at school, I have some [hot] friends in fashion, and the fact there are literally hundreds of very hot, lets even move some to the beautiful category, women in the building getting ready for the show. I'm telling you drop dead gorgeous. Lets chalk this one up to the male levels of testosterone [hey, I'm just a guy, you know] as the reason for wanting to go.So in the end, I have made my decision. I have chosen friendship as the best way to decide where I am going is to assesses where each of my friends are along a continuum. Think grayscale. If you think I'm being too anal about this, oh well. You just dropped lower on the continuum [feh]. I will go to the game [I had bought the tickets weeks ago], go to the Blast after the game, and then see if I can get to the Fashion Show. Or just lie to the hot fashion designers that I went to the fashion show, and their stuff was awesome [hey, I'm just a guy, you know].
