Thursday Night

Last night after spin class with Becs, I finally got to have a get-together with Linz and Alexis. I met their new cat (unfriendly) and ordered from RICE (delicious). This of course, first took the usual hour and a half of deliberating over where to order from:

Me: So, what do you think about ordering from RICE?
Linz: Eh. I don't know. There's too much to choose from.
Me: Are you hungry?
Linz: Not really.
Alexis M: "I'm hungry but not for anything in particular.
Me: Well, I'm open to whatever. But RICE is my first choice.
Linz: I just don't understand. How could an Asian restaurant also offer empanadas on their menu? There must be something sketchy about it.
Me: Did you happen to notice that most workers in New York's kitchens are Ecuadorian? Or Mexican?
Linz: Still...
Alexis: Hey Lex, did you ever have pizza with mozzarella and..
Linz: Alexis! Let's concentrate on what we're going to order!
Me: But Linz, maybe Alexis wanted pizza?
Alexis: No, I just wanted to tell you about something I ate once.
Me: (Eye roll)
Linz: (Eye roll)
Linz: What about Pongri? Would you eat something from there? Its seems sort of like the food from RICE.
Me: Fine, just order me sweet and sour chicken. I'm going to call my brother back.

Two Minutes Later...

Alexis and Lindsay: Lex, we're ordering from RICE! What is it you said you wanted?

hahahahahah

Anyway. After dinner and lounging around, I went home and quickly got dressed to go to the very chic and upscale, oops, I mean, super duper dive bar, CHERRY for Sonia's birthday. I was forced to take a tequila shot and pretend to drink the beer they had on special (read: cheap). J left with Jarrett to get something to eat, and I stayed on with his friend Clara and some of her friends. We complained about boys (our favorite thing to do as of late).

So, one of J's roomates broke up with his girlfriend...Or is kind of breaking up. Or hasn't quite done it yet. The whole thing is really ambiguous. I don't know what to do, because I love both the roomate and his sort of ex girlfriend. I want to still remain friends with her, but it would be odd since we only hung out in context of the whole group (J, his roomates, their friends). I have already heard J's and his other guy friend's opinion, that I really shouldn't contact her.
I know it is a delicate matter, but a big part of me wants to write to her and see how she is doing...Thoughts?

About the psuedo ex-girlfriend, I'd wait till the dust settles on their drawn out brake up before you call her. The boys happen to be right for once. With the unsure nature of whats going on, your concern for her could be misconstrued by that chick as being nosey or intrusive... And I should know, god I love hot gossip. If you want her to be your friend at some point, give it some time and see what happens.
And is this Lindsay B with the CAT? I never pictured her as a animal person. Weird.

Hi Debaser,

I couldn't reply to you because you do not list an email address. How do you know Lindsay B? Please reveal your identity :)

Well...this is a tough one. I happen to be one of those "girls need to stick together" type women, so I would say call her. Now is probably when she needs a friend the most, and you do know her, and if your primary instinct was to reach out to her, then I say do it. I imagine it must be crappy to be in her position right now, where she's broken up/about to break up with someone and suddenly she realizes that she's become persona non grata, losing everyone else in the circle's friendship just because she's no longer with the guy.

That's just me. Like your friends, my friends always tell me I shouldn't do that sort of thing. And I always think "if I were in that situation, I'd appreciate it if someone reached out to me."

That said, my dad said something to me one time which stuck to this day (and I remember this sometimes when I find myself about to do something like this). He warned me once to: "Never interfere with a couple that's quarrelling because they'll eventually reconcile and then you'll be the enemy." He was talking about a specific situation but his words have proven true on more than one occasion.

None of this probably helps but just thought I'd share my two cents since you asked! I'm sure you'll do the 'right' thing, whatever that may be! : )
