Before I left the balcony, Gretchen invited me to a party she was having. I really should have gone, but at the time… I felt like my social quota had already been filled. Felt like I had been around people all day today, and needed time alone. I wish there was some way to switch the ratios around.
To top things off, I’m hoping it didn’t come off as a "oh, I don’t want to go to your party" type of thing. I like Gretchen a great deal, but haven’t really spent much time hanging out with her. Even though I’ve known Justin and Alex and Dave since college, I must seem like some kind of outsider – seeing how infrequently I’m at functions.
I should make it a point to talk with Gretchen more. I always seem to get nervous around her for some reason. Worried that she doesn’t like me is the cause of it, I think.
