: On having fun...
Last night I discovered an excellent way to at least temporarily cure myself of stress. It so happens that the best way to relieve stress and to gain new perspective on life is to go out and have some good, clean, wholesome fun.
Last night I went out with my friend Philip (who is the young man with whom I went out to dinner a few weekends ago). We had chinese food and told each other dirty jokes and laughed until we could barely swallow our dinner. We then went to a local bowling alley and played video games for several hours. By the time I came home it was close to midnight, and I was exhausted. I must say, it was the most fun that I have had in months.
It is wonderful to have a real friend in this place. Someone with whom I can be myself without fear of being rejected, someone whose approval I do not have to work to gain. It is a far cry from my stiff social interactions with the snooty trollops in my Chemistry class, and a welcome change.
