Weekend

Earlier my brother joked about the last time we enjoyed our weekend and I burst into laughter.

I really need to do something and make my weekends more meaningful.  It feels like I have the framework for potentially amusing weekends but it isn't properly implemented.  There are easy excuses for everything and nothing that gives a reason for me to try to put more effort into things.

We can assume I do like to socialize and feel the need to interact with others beyond family. We can assume I find some people less desirable to socialize with than others. We can also assume I factor things like purpose, time, fuel, and energy to compare it with the desire to socialize and the level of desirability.

A lot of times I just can't conveniently offer to participate in a situation where no plans were made. Some people are just so popular that they just always have plans or events to go to.  The obvious suggestion is bring it up and ask them out well before the weekend which is great but I don't think I can compare to a normal event they would have planned.  I fear it would be compared to what they could have done instead.  My favorite things are small groups preferably one on one food then drinks or dessert.  However I don't have a suggestion beyond that but I do prefer to cross out one that is often brought up - karaoke.  Anything really music related I can't imagine doing. It's like it's okay, just move with the music move to what? Instead go somewhere to walk or relax, movie, take pictures (that won't happen), wander a mall, play board games, all very acceptable options. For the most part they end up as opportunities to talk, we probably talk a lot online but to have a chance to speak in our normal voices and not over the roar of a restaurant is nice and just a chance to get to know each other better on a different level.

But I think that will still be too boring.  So I won't suggest it.
