I went out to dinner with some friends last night to celebrate another friend's birthday. She's pretty much done with everything she needs to do for law school… ever… and has been a little bored. This leads her to propose spontaneous weekend trips to Montreal, which, fun as they might be, is so not gonna happen right now… She also likes to talk about upcoming career plans, where we're all going to be… and consequently makes me melt down with stress since I have no clue and can't do anything about it at the moment. But I don't mean to be antisocial. So for her birthday, I gave her a coupon for five minutes of conversation on the subject. I think I can handle that. Or at least I'm willing to make the sacrifice for a friend…
Anyway, dinner was fun and we started reminiscing about how we'd all met the first year. One friend remembered it quite specifically, "I hadn't known you five minutes before you'd invited me to a Huey Lewis and the News concert." Hmm. Interesting first impression… Well, as it happens I just invited him to another one. I'm nothing if not consistent…
By the way, the subject header has nothing to do with any of this, except that it was a toast made during dinner that actually had made sense in context. It's the first time I've ever encountered that particular sentence, but it's quite possible it won't be the last…
