The overall event was cool. I met a few new friends, some cool, some neutral. By neutral I mean that they didn’t seem to know or care for me, any more than I did for them. Perhaps another time we will be able to meet and socialize. I don’t write them off; just tonight was not our night to become close.
I made the rounds a little bit, spoke with my regular circle of friends, as well as some of the new folks I met. We made jokes that ranged from silly to lighthearted topics.
For the most part the conversations flowed nicely, though there were a few awkward moments with some new folks, but that happens. Apparently there was some conflict, but I missed all that. I only witnessed a peace offering later in the evening. I generally steer clear of the nonsense. Being someone who takes conflict resolution seriously, unless there is a genuine reason to get involved, I prefer to stay out of the drama.
At one point the group I usually hang out with decided to go for Chinese food. I was hungry and was planning to go with them. But as I said my goodbyes I was left behind. Perhaps I should have showered? Ok.
So I stuck around for a bit and chatted with some new friends I met. Towards the end, I got a bit of a weird vibe from the group I was talking to, so I decided at that point that it was time to go. I said some quick goodbyes and left. Perhaps we’ll meet again and get to talk.
Anyway, all in all the evening was entertaining. It’s always nice seeing my friends (even if they left without me), and I always enjoy meeting new people.
