Always behind the times

I'm always behind in my blogging these days! I went shopping but didn't find anything I wanted, so I should try again today. I did make it to the yoga class though, and it was amazing. I stayed on for the second class and I am totally in love with this teacher! And really the whole experience. Yoga one block from the Capitol is different from yoga in Santa Monica. The room feels different, the conversation before and after is very different, and heck the teacher is a lawyer on the hill by day, yoga teacher by night! How cool is that?

I decided to postpone the party until after new years, which is a bummer, but way too many of the people I was most interested in seeing were not able to come and I had still not gotten any "yeses". Just too much social anxiety to be worth it. The postponement email was light enough that I don't feel like a total loser for sending it.... Oh well.

Now the task is to find some other way of starting to build a social network here. It would have been nice to kick it off with a party, since most of the people I know who live here I like but don't know whether they will be close friends or friendly acquaintances. I had sort of hoped to sniff out the landscape all at once. But that is okay. It will be harder this way, but for me in social situations, I should push myself to take the harder route.
