Too much fun?

I enjoy a good dinner with great friends.

Sometimes though, you have too many great friends showing up. How is this possible? Ok, if i hang out with cool friend one, life is good. But once there are, say, 6 cool friends at this particular dinner, I start spazing. As each friend slowly arrives at dinner, there's this snowballing expectation that this will be the most awesomest dinner ever. And just like great rollercoasters; they always let you dow. Hard.

I can only imagine the problem getting worse. Dinner with one friend? Great! Dinner with 2 friends: ok. Dinner with 6 friends: getting really high expectations. After a few years, then Wedding : all your friends. I expect that to be the saddest day of my life, my expectations skyrocketing to the tip of pluto.

Expectations are a funny thing, no matter how hard you chant they never seem to go away. Fairly soon you start expecting expectations. Then you start anticipating expecting expectations. Then you predict you will anticipate expecting expectations. Soon you start making no sense at dinner, and dressing in odd colors to psych yourself out.

The solution is as mysterious as the problem. The answer I've come up with? Have a bad time. Have a really really bad time. This isn't reverse psychology. That stuff doesn't work. You can always pull a anticipated reverse psychology on yourself. So, really. Just have a bad time. Life is full of bad things, may as well take some of them over a friendly dinner instead of some foreign war, or at work with top 3 least favorite people.

Summary: Maybe bad isn't that bad after all. Sorry this isn't a funny entry.
