Tomorrow is my first day at the new workplace. Of course I'm nervous as ****. Also they work all with Macs.
mg: I'm used to PC, never worked with Macs before. They know that. They hire me as a programmer, not as much because of what I know, but rather because of the potential they see in me.
Today we had our weekly film evening. We meet at 6pm at a friends flat, who got a huge TV and surround sound system, and watch there two movies, order pizza and so on. Normally it's around 6 people there. In rare cases 3 or 4, sometimes up to 10 or 11. Today, only very few people were there. My closest friend, who is one of the couple that lives in that flat, was visiting her mom and not around. So it was her friend (who also lives there) and his second girlfriend from next door. I was a bit uneasy at first, since it was just me and that couple and my closest friends missing. Then another couple came over, who are nice people but I don't know them very well.
First we watched a horror movie. Mostly because we have three regulars who are nearly always at the film evening who all can't stand horror movies. Since all three were not around today, we decided to make use of that chance. We watched "The Collection", which was pretty meh. But it kept people on their toes. Next we watched "The Misfortunates", a comedy drama about a "scum family". There the people on my left and right cuddled together. Not that they were really cuddling, but simply having the arms wrapped around each other. I started to feel very lonely there, on the couch, with a couple on each side. After the second movie was about half over, the close friend of mine, that also lives in that flat, came home from her weekend trip to her mom. We know each other since more than a decade, so she knows exactly how I feel in what situation. She quickly came over, pushed herself between me and the couple to my right (consisting of her bf and the neighbours girl), took my hand and hugged me. Then I felt much better.
What's also kinda odd. So the woman I start to like more than just friends really loves cuddling. As do I. But she's in a monogamous relationship. Which means that cuddling is normally not possible, except at times when she really needs it. And since she often sits next to me at the film evening, and since I know that she likes me, I told her last week after the film evening, that if she needs a shoulder to lean on during the video evening, she can make use of mine. So, that was last week. This week she phoned me via skype to tell me that she can't show up due to stomach ache. Which is somewhat weird. Normally the film evening is a thing that people freely show up at or not, without anyone having to announce either. So I was a bit surprised when she skyped me just for that. Not sure why. Maybe because she wanted to make sure that I don't misinterpret her missing? No idea. *shrugs*
