social suicide

i am home on a friday night. i'm sitting in my pajamas (which incidentally have skiing bears and beavers on them), lounging on the couch. about 5 minutes ago, i put away the pint of haagen dazs that i've been picking at. in some circles, people would consider this a sign of the end of a long-term relationship or a pity party following my boss serving me a pink slip (side note- my favorite term for being fired is 'separation from employment'). to me, this is the ideal friday night.

i do like to go out, to see my friends, have a big dinner at a nice restaurant, stay out late at the bar - all the perks of being young and living in a big city. but really, those things come second to the enjoyment I find with just taking a night to relax. i know that probably makes me antisocial, but the fact of the matter is that without nights like this i go a little bit mad.

I was just talking to someone today about what happens to social lives post-college.

You just described my average (and possibly ideal?) Friday night. I'll continue to let everyone back in Minneapolis think that my life is G-L-A-M-OR-OUS, though.
