2 Days Ago

2 days ago I felt terrible in the morning, because I had slept over at a friend's and he woke me at 6am. Then, being the party-animal that I am, I caught a bus from his place to another friend's house. We were meant to have a Lord of the Rings movie marathon, but for some reason he decided to play the extended editions of LotR, and my patience expired faster than milk left outside the fridge in summer. The movie was good- I mean, I liked LotR... but the extended edition was just too much for me. There was plenty of dialogue which I deemed unnecessary, and I felt the action scenes went on for a century. That, and the fact that I realized the special effects no longer seemed very impressive. I remember when I watched it for the first time, and it was amazing. Watching it again after so many years, a lot of the details I enjoyed seemed horribly crude.

Anyway, because the first movie went on for 200+ minutes by itself, we didn't get much further than the first movie. I brought a friend along to the movie marathon (hosted by 2 other people), but he fell asleep during the movie, to my great embarrassment. I guess he was really tired, but I still felt really bad since the event was meant to be a movie marathon. It was kinda awkwardfest after the movie ended, because though I knew the other two people well, the friend I had brought along was only barely acquainted with the host, and the reason I brought him along was completely awkward anyway, so I shouldn't write about it here. Not to mention the fact that this particular friend of mine is the super-timid type, doesn't say much IRL and doesn't really seem to know how to hold non-anime related conversation.

Then I wanted to have sushi for dinner so I dragged everyone out with me. It's too bad that I didn't think about how money would be a problem, and ended up eating at a sushi train. I was perfectly fine with paying $30 for one dinner, and while I agree it was slightly expensive, I didn't think it would stir up so much awkwardness. I just grabbed whatever looked nice off the sushi train, but nobody else really ate anything and kept on counting how much money the plates had added up to. I don't think anyone but me was really satisfied by the dinner, and that made me feel bad. Yet these friends of mine have no problem telling me that they just charged up $100 worth of virtual money for LoL, so I didn't expect them to have a problem with spending on food...

2 days ago was a terribly awkward day.
