Yeah I agree, you should be able to go out with a friend on any day of the year without it being taken the wrong way.

I don't think that's dangerous at all. If she really is your friend, she should be happy that there are no longer any pretensions and you are both on the same page.

She knows you like someone else, everything is all on the table. I think it's a good thing.


True true. It's best that these things are out in the open and there are no hidden agendas.

I looked for this thread today and couldn't find it. Weird.

I'm going to plant my veggie garden if the weather holds.

Well valentines day always ensures a dramatic weekend. For me it was a good mix of good and bad- one girl happy with me one not happy.

That's better than no girl happy with you smile.gif

OOooh I haven't been to one of these since winter time. I should schedule me another one I think...

What are you wearing???

This weekend, I'm not doing much. It's BC Scene here (www.bcscene.ca) so I'm out EVERY night this week.

Just a simple floor length black dress I had made for the ball last year...the reason I am wearing it again is because I only went to the ball for 2 hours last year because I had just come out of hospital from my car accident and was still in a neck brace, in pain and I couldn't sit for to long (nor could I drink because of the drugs I was on), so this year the dress is getting out for the whole night!

Will post a pic afterwards.

That sounds really fun! And you made your own dress? Wowsa! I wish I could design and sew that well!
