C invited me to her joint sorority and brother fraternity party this weekend. I had told P that I would call him if I didn’t have too much studying to do. He’s so naïve and sweet. A part of me wants to eat a nice meal at 5-star restaurant with raw appetizers and $80 bottle of wine and be able to blot my mouth with cloth linens. But the other part says that I shouldn’t completely sever myself from my peers for fear of suspicious rumors, and because it’s been a while since I’ve been to a frat party. The thing with spending time with men who make money and drive nice cars and buy you nice things is that you get used to it. Boys my age bore me now and I often find myself looking at them in disgust. The way they drink cheap beer in plastic cups, don’t own anything that has to be drycleaned, drive cheap noisy cars and whose idea of a Friday night date is going to TGI Fridays makes me nauseous now. I will probably end up going to this party just to get back in the game. And I think people are starting to wonder about my whereabouts.

Are you hot? You get impressed by an $80 bottle of wine? Try screaming eagle 01. Now THAT's how I impress... -

Ugh. I know what you mean; and to think some guys continue to act that way until their mid-thirties. -

Oh, I also know what you mean about "keeping up appearances". You sound like one very smart chick. Just play it cool at the parties. Don't mention studying too much; they're going to think you're weird if you "suddenly" began studying all the time--unless you did that before you started this career. Act really amused by everything, as if you're having the best time ever at the parties--no matter how lame they are. When in doubt, blame things on your family: 1. "I had a family emergency." 2. "I had a family situation I had to take care of." 3. "My [name of far distant relative] had to be taken to the hospital." 4. Etc... I'm not saying that what you're doing is the best thing; I'm just saying that I'm not judging you. I know that in this post, you were wondering about how to keep people from finding out what's going on, so I was just giving suggestions. So I don't want any comments about "encouraging her lifestyle", people! The truth is, she's already doing this; she's made the decision for herself. I would also give advice to other SC users if they had a question or problem, and she is no different. The only difference is the situation. I'm sure she's *very* aware that morality *exists*, so no one needs to blast her with critical comments. 'Kay? Lets treat her as an actual human being. That means no name calling and mud-slinging. Maybe you don't agree with her chosen profession, but she is a fellow SoulCast user, and we are trying to make a diverse and accepting community as much as possible here--so lets meet our goals by offering her the sign of peace.

Alright, so my boyfriend and I are still doing amazing. I had started to think I didn't care about him as much as I thought because I've been having a lot of dreams and such about my ex latley. But, I think it's because there was never any closure there;... read entire post
