Also referred to as a typical weekend, week or any other type of time frame. Every weekend I make attempts to live in both worlds, well "societies". The straight society made up of family and older friends from school and church, including current roommates. This group has ALL the people I've known for more than 2 years. Then there is the gay society made up of basically new friends. Most of which I've known for a short time, so a lot of those friendships aren't exactly close. But that will (theoretically) come with time. So when I'm deciding what I'll do, and with whom, I attempt to balance out both societies giving and taking as necessary. And now for a brief-ish recap of the weekend's struggles.

2. Karaoke date, with a guy who's cool, but I can't bring myself to be interested in?
HOME!!
Overall, a good weekend. Although my perfectionist tendencies focus on the few bad spots. The weekend shows me that i'm not truly balancing. It seems like a seesaw, going on one side, then making up for it on the other. In time, a merging of societies must take place, so its no longer what "this" or "that" group is doing. But what am I doing.
