Ugh, tried to get a couple of my friends to go out with me for St. Patrick's Day, and they all crapped out on me. Problem is that my friends are in couples and it's harder to get couples to go out. I was in one of the couples for years so I don't have a lot of single friends. Only now I'm single. I started to head over to an Irish pub alone, but the line was around the block and I had a feeling that I wouldn't have much fun alone. I mean, sometimes if I'm alone and the place isn't crowded I'll strike up a conversation with the bartender or something. That obviously wouldn't have happened tonight. So I came on home. I started looking up singles events in my area, and it sounds like there are a lot of them I could start going to. Only problem is: As much as I want to go out and do things, I really don't want to start dating again yet. I'm just not ready. And the singles events all seem to be organized around the possibility of dating. But I hate having nothing to do!!! I have a group of friends that I hang out with, but sometimes I want to do something novel or different. And occasionally none of them are available when I want to do something (like tonight). What am I going to do?! I cannot sit around on minor holidays being depressed! It stinks! Wah!!!!!!!

Okay thanks for letting me vent.
