critical mass

We seem to have reached critical mass, y'all: I have a blind date tonight that I would really rather not go on.

I do have to go - it took too many rounds to schedule and then re-schedule when Monday was the only night my cousin and I could get together, and the dude pinged this morning to confirm that we were still on - but unless I am very much surprised, this'll be a one-off.

Blurgh.

not actually excruciating.

I still wish I hadn't had to go, but I'm not sorry I went, so on balance we'll call this one a non-failure. corvidae9 said Hey, maybe it will turn out to have been useful for meeting someone new, at least; I say anh, let's not go that far, but I did learn of a neat restaurant I'd never have known of, much less gone to, otherwise.

Bright sides.
