Space ConcernsSo... suck. Some of you who have been awesome enough to live by me have known this: I love hosting events. Why is this, though? Because of situations like the one I currently find myself in.
Throughout MOST of High School and ALL of college- I was not an invitee. People weren't quick to say "Hey, we're doing something, come." I either had to invite myself, thus feeling like an incredible ass, or... no, usually I just... stayed home. It gave me the time to get involved with Swimming, Theater, Orchestra, Mimes, and a bunch of other stuff but... that was because it was "Get Involved or Face The Abundant Amount of Time Wasted Not Doing Things."

When I left college, I vowed that I wouldn't let that happen to me again. That is why, when I started making friends at work... I would invite them over, host parties, and the like. Because... damnit, I wasn't going to be left out anymore.
My apartment in law school is too small to host anything. Oh, I can have Glasford and Blackford over to watch movies and stuff... but nothing like "Hey law school friends, c'mon over!" And therein lies the problem. I hear the scuttlebutt of people going to basketball games and hockey games, going to bars, and all of that. Even one of my best friends here keeps saying "You should come out with us sometime" but never gives me details so that I actually could go with them. It got to the point where I am scheduling Study Sessions at the school so I can "hang out" with people.
It always makes me wonder... what is my social defect that makes this a constant issue? Because I'm not foolish. If there is a consistent pattern amidst changing variables, find the constant and you should find the cause.
