So last night was pretty cool. Almost everyone I invited to Summerfest showed up last night, so we all sat around and listened to a band and drank beers, then myself and my friend M’s husband J graduated to double whiskey & coke’s, getting smashed and talking about cooking the whole time. It was totally awesome.

I went out with M last weekend to Rok Boutique and had a great time, and it’s so cool that her husband is awesome too. Looks like I have 2 new friends! I like them a lot because they’re European (She’s Hungarian and he’s German) and I’ve got a European personality… just the ways that we think about things and interact with each other is so refreshing compared to North America. None of us feel like such outsiders when we’re together 😉

Anyway, they invited me over to their place for dinner tonight, but I haven’t heard anything yet… but to be invited was still nice since they were sincere! I think things are finally looking up a bit for me socially!

Unfortunately Hot CEO didn’t make it last night, but he texted me on my phone this morning apologizing and asking if I had a nice time. What do you suppose that means? Whatever. If he couldn’t make it to my “party” then I guess he’s just not that into me and it’s time to move on.

All in all I had a good night out with all my new friends (Hot CEO’s sales director came out and stayed with me, bringing some of her friends too, and my roomie came out too) but didn’t get many opportunities to mingle with anyone else… so it was crap in the romance dept. *sigh* story of my life!

Another social aspect I’m working on is this girl who might go to the Nine Inch Nails concert with me in August. I bought 2 tickets but don’t have anyone to go with…. so to Craigslist I went and have had a few responses! I basically placed an ad saying I was looking for a new friend who likes NIN too so we could go together. I find music to be a great bond between people and she seems cool so far. We’re probably going to meet up tonight or tomorrow and see if we hit it off.

It’s so weird shopping for friends, but I hope it works out!
