Satire and Satin

You know what are fun? Christmas parties. Dressing up either really nice winter formal like or wearing the most ridiculous holiday sweater you can find. I got the opportunity to go to both kinds this past weekend. An ugly sweater/white elephant party was Friday, then the Yule Ball (clever, right?) was Saturday night. It was all sorts of drunken, holiday fun both nights. Though Friday when I got home was a bit of a downer. Want to know why? No, you don’t, but I’m going to tell you anyway.

Friday I had been talking to a good friend throughout the day. He and I used to date way back in March, but ended things pretty well. And by that, I mean he told me his feelings changed. But we did stay friends. And I will admit that I still have a bit of a crush on him. Are 20 year olds allowed to have crushed still? Regardless, I like him, and all night he was talking to me about a girl he likes that he just didn’t have the balls to tell. Secretly I hoped it was me, but then he said that he had hung out with her all night. Now I know what guys talk about when they say they’ve been shunned to the “friend zone”. I didn’t even know girls could be friend zoned. Oh well, I’ll just be single forever!
