I got into a weird, euphoric mental state last Sunday and ended up messaging a girl on facebook that I went to high school with but hadn't ever been close with or even talked to in probably five years. I've always thought she seemed cool, but normally I'd never have the balls to just approach someone out of the blue like this. I'm glad I did though, we got coffee today and ended up talking for a couple hours. Not even romantically interested, she's just a cool person. It's amazing how much less pressure I put on myself just by not considering it a date.
Also went to a get-together at a co-workers house last night. Got a ride with another friend from work and his wife, they're such nice people and I'm so happy they're in my life. We don't get to hang out a lot, but he's by far the person I'm closest to at work. He has an awesome dog too. We ended up playing Rock Band at the dudes house until like 1 in the morning, I had a great time.
Feeling really happy and grateful, this has been a fantastic start to the weekend.
Edit: But there's a lot of cognitive dissonance when I log on to Twitter and seeing our country going to shit even more than usual
