parties make me feel lonely

i went to a birthday party this weekend. lots of people i know were there and it could have been fun but i don't think i've ever really liked going to parties. mostly they make me feel like i miss my friends. i miss lying on the couch and hanging out. i miss coffee dates. i miss watching movies and television with people. i'm a one on one or a couple people kind of person. but when you live in a new place, you can't not go to parties. at least i don't think i'm supposed to say no.

in the bay area, i went to parties, but i think many people knew i wasn't a party person. i'm missing my friends.

on a happy note, the weather is gorgeous and spring is finally showing itself. i got 20 french immersion tapes from my work place and i've already learned how to get a porter at the airport and how to show my passport to the airport worker. this is good news.

i'm still reading brown girl, brownstones. i like it so far but it's no carson mccullers.

does anyone know anything about philadelphia? miles and i are thinking about moving there when he graduates from school next year.

that's all i got. i can't wait to get back in my car and learn some more french.

for now, bon rev!
