"Elaine, don't get too down. Everything will even out. See, I have two friends. You were up, he was down. Now he's up, you're down. You see how it all evens out for me?"

- Jerry Seinfeld, in "The Opposite"

I had a great weekend (starting Thursday night).  I even fell into crush approximately 2 times, give or take 1.  I was invited to gatherings in public.  I managed to go out to 3 bars and a) did not feel annoyed that I was at a bar b) did not come home smelling of smoke c) did not spend a lot of money.  I managed to say only a handful of offensive things, which is excellent considering the breadth of time and volume I had to drink.  These people even became my facebook friends after the fact.  phew. 

Side note:  What is going ON with me lately?  The past week or so seems to have turned into a peacock parade of temptation.  Why do guys, who I find contemptible and disgusting in general, seem so darn attractive lately?  I have literally run into every mini-crush I've had in the area recently.  Why now?  I hate this.  Also, and this might sound a little too 'Jersey Shore,' but sometimes I can't help but want to just make out with someone out of boredom.  I WON'T, jeez, I like being married too much.  I'm just saying.  I miss the making-out.  That's all. 

And real-life xanga friends, don't even ask who these might be.  You don't know them and I'm never telling.  ever.

This was all eclipsed, naturally, when I discovered that one of my dearest friends had been admitted to the hospital under mysterious conditions last night (panic attack, heart attack, seizure???) .  I can't focus and NOTHING that I could possibly have to do at work today is as important to me.  I can't wait to get out of here so I can run over to the hospital.
