30 Something

I admit that I can be anti-social sometimes. I like to stay at home, sleep and watch TV. So usually when friend ask me out, I try to come up with some excuse as to why I don't want to. However, in order to maintain my friendships I've decided that I need to hang out with my friends more. So on Sat I went to dinner with Micheal (i didn't feel like it) because he was hungry and later I went to see Inside Man with him and his date (I found out later that despite the fact that she strictly told him that they weren't going on a date, she thought it was a date and asked him if always invited other people on his dates). He reminded her that she made it clear that they were going as friends so he invited another friend to hang out--me. Then yesterday Cori called because she wanted to hang out. I was half sleep, but we went to the movies anyway...Inside Man, for the third time. I promise I'm never watching that movie again. I do like the movie, but not enough to watch it like that. But it's all in the name of friendship. I know all this going out is putting a damper on my budget. I spend way too much money when I'm hanging with my friends. I guess being broke is one the the drawbacks of having friends. I need to get a part time job just to be able to hang out with friends. So I'm trying to work up to inviting people to my place for a dinner party for my b-day in 4 weeks. I want it to be special since it will be a year until I'm 30. I know it may not be a big thing to a lot of people, but it's a big thing to me and I don't know if my friends love me enough to make it a big thing with me. I'm afraid taht I may be disappointed if I invite people and they don't show up. I'm also afraid that if I do invite people and they show up, they won't have a good time. Then I don't know who to invite. I'm going to have to do some planning, but I hope I don't plan it away. I've done that before--thought way too much about something and ended up not doing it at all.
