After my last entry, I went to lunch with one of those insecure friends I was thinking about, and I got the most interesting surprise.

I used to dread encounters with her because her neediness and awkwardness drained me more than anything. But either she's changed or I've changed, because it went really well.

We were at a very quiet, but casual restaurant, and that seemed to make it a lot easier. Maybe I'll just have to agree to lunches in quiet, casual restaurants with her from now on. The only thing is, that gets expensive. :P I don't want either of us to come to a place where we're like, "Oh no, ______ wants to hang out again, do I have the money?"

But anyway, that's neither here nor there. I'm just pleased it went so smoothly, with barely even a shred of awkwardness, not even in ending it! Makes me much more amiable to spending time with her again in the future.

I would LOVE to know the exact details as to why it went so well, and I could probably figure it out if I analyzed the heck out of it. I sense it's 'cause I've changed a lot (and also I can tell she's changed a little, too), and I really want to know how I've changed, 'cause that's AWESOME, but I'm super, super tired, plus I need to go get dinner before husband gets home. :P *sigh* Oh well. I'll think about it out loud with him later, maybe.
