Just came back from the strangest staff party ever. J accompanied me and we met up with two girls, one East-Indian/Kiwi, the other Japanese. I have never been able to relate to either. I had a busy day but felt unable, and even unwilling, to put forth my day. They also drank their martinis extremely slowly. The Kiwi trashed everything that crossed her mind, including my country. Of course she had nothing but glowing things to say about her home country, which she isn't even in. . . The Japanese girl, who is very nice and kind and a good person, didn't have much to talk about. I wish I had nothing but kind things to say about these people. There is chemistry between the two of them, but not when I'm added into the mix. Which is fine, by all standards. I don't like them anyways, it's nothing personal. They're people I work with, nothing less and nothing more.
After J and I had two drinks (the other girls' drinks sat in front of them, nearly untouched) another Japanese girl arrived at our table and started talking on her cell phone. Maybe these are things that people do these days, but not me. It's just not my thing. J put forth the idea that we leave, and I added that we go to the liquor store.
And then the evening certainly improved! Though it had been fun eating caeser salad ... ;)
