the complicated obligations of friendship

Jane hasn't answered, so I guess I'll go to church with my mom in Pleasanton before going back to Berkeley. I have really mixed feelings about Nasrin's party. I really want to see her again, and I really wish that I had spent more time with her this last school year, but I really don't want to go to a party. Not alone. I don't think I'll know anyone else. And I'm not exactly much of a partier/drinker type. I'm not exactly too fond of most of the alcohol that I've sampled (granted, it hasn't been all that much), and honestly I'm a bit scared. I'm a mess of inhibitions, me, and I prefer being in control of myself. Due to my lack of experimentation, I have no idea how I react to more than a few sips of alcohol. I'd really not like to find out amongst strangers. And definitely not the night before getting up at 5:30am to get myself to work on time.
I really don't want to go. Especially alone. I'll be uncomfortable, I won't really know anyone, and I doubt I'll enjoy myself. But I do want to see Nasrin. Would it be bad if I just came by for 15 minutes? Just to say hi and bye? I do have a good excuse--parties are not conducive to getting up early in the morning. Blarg. I don't wanna go to work either, not immediately after finals. Oh for a few days of recovery...

EDIT: Or nevermind. Ron says he might be interested. Now to track down the boy... I didn't get anywhere near entering the R's into my new cell phone and I don't think I have his lastest sn.

alcohol, work, party, friends
