Interesting night out. Made it to the Karaoke bar with a former co-worker. She has a friend I really, really, really want to ask out when the D is done, but I'm playing it cool.

The bar was filled with a lot of 20 somethings and 30 somethings. There was a bachelorette party and a birthday party.

I felt old and not all that confident. I try to tell myself I can't force things.

Around 11 p.m. the former co-worker headed home and I headed across town to see band_38. This is the former neighbor who I slow danced with this summer. It was her 20th class reunion and she said a lot of people from her class would be out at this one bar.

There were just a few there and band_38 looked awful. She looked tired and mad. She was having a rough night. I haven't seen her in several weeks and it turns out she started dating the drummer from the band. This guy is dumpy looking, but she's a band groupie. He insisted she leave the reunion to come watch him play and she was mad.

So now I find myself in the middle of this drama. I talked to her for a few minutes. She insisted she was fine and I should go talk to some other of her old classmates.

I smiled and said that's good and told her I'd call her. Then I found a door and headed home. This just wasn't a place for me.
