A New Tradition

I have started downloading/watching a new rom com/chick flick every weekend since two weeks ago. So far I have watched She's All That, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days and, just yesterday, The Wedding Date. Sure, they all follow extremely similar plotlines but fuck it if it's not one of the most relaxing activities in the world. Eye candy, angry sex, cock-teasing? What's not to like?

I went to the Wellbeing Synopsium last Thursday with Meggy. In terms of making friends... I mingled. Somewhat. I like to think I did. There was free food (pizza and sushi) so I can't complain on that front. I somehow managed to spill a sticky beverage all over myself but fuck it. I consolidated a friendship with a girl named Bee. I saw her multiple times that day and am feeling increasingly comfortable and confident around her. Unfortunately, one friend does not make a complete social circle.

Is it too late? I keep asking myself this and freaking myself out. Are med social groups already too well established to break into?

We went to celebrate mum's birthday at a Korean barbeque yesterday night. I am not that much of a meat-fan. I enjoy meat in moderation but I think I would rather become a vegetarian than have to eat meat with every  meal. If you haven't been to a Korean barbeque, it's basically a meat-fest. It was a buffet thing. I tried to hold out because there was ICE-CREAM. Self-serve ice-cream. Just Bulla ice-cream (strawb, choc, vani) but I was still excited about it because it was SELF-SERVE ICE-CREAM.

Unfortunately, there was a 25% surcharge for excessive food wastage (it was an Asian buffet, after all) so I was forced to eat more meat than i wanted. Regardless, I indulged in not one but TWO bowls of ice-cream yesterday evening. The second bowl had coffee poured off in order to emulate THIS delicious treat: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affogato

It was freaking delicious.

I already have my Friendquest 2012 plot points plotted out for this week. It's about to get real. Caitlyn and I also discussed going speed dating last night. I was quite serious about it, not sure about her. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything like that at UWA but we'll see!
