I ended up going to that show last night and had a really good time, except for the getting lost and driving around in circles thing we had going on on the way home. It turned out that my brother decided to have a few people over for beers before all driving to the show together and I was invited. It was fun hanging out beforehand and once we all got the bar and dispersed, there were plenty of folks to see and talk with. It was a very relaxed and fun atmosphere. The place, which I had never been to before, was this kitschy bar/club deal with pool tables and a bowling alley. The lighting was low and the decor was scenester-hip (and I mean that in the best possible way). I'd love to go back again, if I ever thought I could find my way to and fro.

It was a little weird being without C and it was funny to note who was afraid to ask me where he was, for fear that we'd broken up, until I brought him up first. Others asked as soon as they saw me. You know what? It was a nice feeling knowing that people think of us as a couple who is always out enjoying the local music scene together. More than a few times people have told us, together and separately, that we're a great couple and that they're happy to see us together and that it's so cool that we both enjoy the same things. I know plenty of people who have a significant other who never ever come to shows with him or her. That makes me sad. Of course, it seems to work for the people in question, so who am I to feel sorry for someone when they're cool with it? I just would feel weird always going out without my boyfriend or vice versa. I guess I'm just psyched that we enjoy the same stuff, as I have said numerous times before.

Anyway, I’m just slowly motivating today, getting stuff done at home and then I’m off to do errands. It’s beautiful out, so I should not be sitting inside. Once my hair color is done "cooking" and I shower, I’m out of here. Tonight, I’m looking forward to a quiet dinner and maybe a movie with C.
