My hubby and I spent the past year making this little short film - it's a little comedic view on how we met. I would love to hear comments! :)

... and trying to make new female friends in the city is a daunting task. My husband and I have lots of friends - so many that we can't keep up with all of the regular outings. But, our friends are friends of the both of ours... and they're either male or couples that I've grown to know being with my hubby. I just realized the other day that I want to make my 'own' friend. Why? I'm not sure. I think it'd be nice to have someone girlie to go out with who isn't linked to our social circle at all. Something new, I suppose.

A few months ago, my husband and I met some friends at a party. I strayed off to grab a drink and met a girl and her boyfriend at the bar. I began to talk to the girl and found that we had loads in common. Probably an hour went by, and conversation still flowed. It's so refreshing to meet a total stranger and to be able to strike up a conversation with them just like that. Then came the time to say goodbye when her boyfriend came back and said it was time to go. But when push came to shove for me to attempt to ask her to hang out sometime, it was as though the cat had me' tongue! I simply couldn't do it! Why? Not sure - I though it would be strange to say out of nowwhere to this girl "Do you want to hang out sometime? Perhaps a movie? Drinks? I couldn't word it in a way that didn't remind me of how people are asked out on dates.... And the funny thing is, I think I felt I might have been 'rejected'. ha. What's with that?

So, I didn't. And I probably passed up the opportunity to have a really super cool friend.

On with the hunt, treens. :)
