When Things Get Disinteresting

One of my friends ceased to participate in a singing/music group I am in at my church back home. I am quite saddened by it, but it's not like I'm angry at her. I think that may be the impression I gave them when I asked them about it. I'm not angry, as I have no idea what their life is like now, or what their feelings are about it. But, I'm sad, as it's a person I very much like spending time with, and in a group where I have few friends, they were one of my few remaining ones. But, I'm sure I can make it. But, individual who shall remain nameless, I am sorry if I offended you. I will miss you at the practices and on the trip though. I had a pretty successful weekend. I went to a dinner party on Saturday. My friend Benjamin cooked this Italian chicken thing for a group of individuals, and we ate it. It was fun, because I got to know a girl a little closer that is in band with me, but she's never seemed too friendly to me before. So, it's nice to sort of break the ice and cultivate some semblance of a friendship. I also played Star Wars Risk yesterday with Jacob and this girl he knows. I am amazed how he meets so many great women. Upright, fun to be with, interesting, etc, etc, etc. And he knows them in abundance. How does this happen, and why don't I fall into that situation? Eh, I've just been frustrated lately with women. It always seems that women I find interesting or attractive always have a significant other, or another man in their life that consumes all their time and attention. Or some other situation. I mean, sometimes you just wonder, "When am I going to find someone?" I've been wondering that lately. It's a question that really can't be answered. It's a shame I don't possess better social skills. J-term is going well. It's really good to have a relaxed schedule, and have time to do so much stuff. My homework load isn't what I'd really call heavy, so I have time to relax, work out, eat, etc, etc, etc. I have time to practice, but I haven't made the most of it yet. I really need to step that up this week. I need to work out some issues on the trombone this month, so I'm fresh and ready to go next semester. I played at a high school girls basketball game on Friday night, and then a Luther girls basketball game on Saturday, both in pep band. I remembered why I hated Luther pep band so much. It's so lame. So, I'm playing in this little brass group tonight, accompanying like, a thousand singers. And I'm playing with two of the orchestra trombone people. They play a lot louder and better than I. I'll have to get used to it though, as I'm playing with them all next semester for that opera thing. So yeah, hope this goes well.
