In solitary
Bryan's out at a bachelor party tonight, and I've been sitting around the house not doing much of anything (except fiddling with my blog, of course). Before he left, he was getting on my case because I really hadn't planned on calling anyone or going out or anything. I tend to get a little introverted, so he thinks I wasn't going out because I "don't have a social life," and I "depend on him for my entertainment." I can definitely why he would think that, but you know what? This is the most "me" time I've had in WEEKS, possibly MONTHS. It is such a rare occasion to have the apartment to myself that you know what? I'm lovin' it!! I've enjoyed sitting around playing on the computer, watching TV, listening to what music I want for hours WITHOUT feeling guilty - why crap it up by adding people to the mix?
The thing that I don't think is being understood is that I leave for work before he does, I get home after he does, we have practically our entire social circle here every Friday night no invitation necessary (Spyros, of course this includes you and Kim also - e-mail me if you need the address), and Bryan runs his D&D game here on Sundays. I'm hardly ever alone in this apartment and it's felt so good.
This situation has happened to us once before, except the roles were reversed. I didn't understand why Bryan wanted alone time, but after tonight I can see it much more clearly. Too bad I couldn't have come to that realization when it was happening a few years ago - it could have saved a lot of arguments and insecurity.{{{sigh}}} c'est la vie.
And of course now that it's 1:30 in the morning I'm thinking of getting a little social interaction. There's a towel on my head and I've got some makeup on, and I'll be heading out to Kitchen shortly to make fun of the drunks.
