居酒屋
今日仕事の後に、以前の仕事仲間と一緒に居酒屋に行きました。 Since he will be poking around to find my blog, I have decided not to mention the restaurant name and just try to use as much Japanese as I can for a while. We used to be better friends until I got married, but I guess it's understandable. I just shouldn't expect too much. But when keeping a conversation interesting becomes an effort (or at least an one-sided effort), I pretty much should get the hint that 1) we should meet less frequent and/or 2) it's time to make new acquaintances for 鮨と刺身. It's a little bit sad but I think it's ok since he and my husband don't get along on day one.
It's hard to find someone to go to a 鮨屋 with, especially one who would not be tempted to order a 照焼き定食 . And this person must not need you to give her a ride or tell you she forgot her checkbook at home when the bill comes and asked you to cover for her. (What lame excuse!! Who uses a check at a restaurant anyway?) But yup, I have encountered both requests before. One female high school friends of mine even called me one evening to join her when she is already done eating upon my arrival. I am a bit fed up with these women treating me like a substitute boyfriend. Another female friend from my high school was a possibility but she is divorced and a bit bitter. I have to be careful with what I say and sometimes even tiptoeing around ordinary topics that turned out to be sensitive to her like traveling. So that is no fun either. *Sigh Sigh* Have to stick with male friends but then now that I am married, I think this "What's the point?!" sign is probably lit when my name comes into mind. And another problem with new male acquaintances is that they are getting younger and younger. Even though we get along fine but thinking that they were in their diapers when I was already in high school is just a little too much. So I guess married people should only hang out with married people?? Geez...and talk about big mortgages and health coverage and living trust? That's just too much fun.
Oh man, for 居酒屋, I should have just gone with my husband, duh!
