i'm just a posting machine right now!!
so, i joined a new group here in the city. it's called highlife adventures and it's for singles only however, it is not a dating service. basically, it sets up about 60-70 activities in a month of all different varieties and you can choose which ones you want to do. i joined this for a number of reasons...
one, i don't think you can ever have enough friends. keep your oldest and best always with you, but meeting new people is good too.
two, new activities that i would never do on my own or by myself. now i have an opportunity to do all sorts of fun things and i don't have to plan a dang thing and if none of my friends can do it or want to do it, then it doesn't hold me back.
three, who knows, maybe just maybe there is a really tall really cute boy who wants to be the love of my life (or it is for all age ranges so maybe my super rich fugly 75+man is just waiting for me there)
four, why the heck not. i'm in a new city. it's way more fun to get out and explore it than sit home and do nothing.
five, it pushes my comfort zone of showing up and doing something by myself. i'm all about pushing my comfort zone and doing something new this year.
so far i've done two activities. i have two more this week. i have done a trolley photo tour of downtown chicago and on saturday i did a limo scavenger hunt. the trolley tour was great as i got to know the history and see the sites of downtown chicago that i wouldn't ever do on my own. it was fun to be a tourist! and the limo scavenger hunt was a great time too. i got to meet all kinds of people and do all kinds of ridiculous things. i have pictures from that, but i still have to upload them. tomorrow i will be going on a brewery tour (which i have never done) with a bunch of 30 somethings. ok, i'm not 30 something yet (thank god), but really, do i identify more with someone 30 or 22? i chose 30s. and on thursday, instead of staying home and eating myself silly and celebrating sad (singles awareness day) all by myself, i am choosing to go out to a v-day party for all of us singles at a bar. i have other activities lined up as well, but i can't remember what right now! but so far, it is definitely meeting all of my objectives!

that sounds AWESOME, totally something i would join. not only do you get to do cool things, but meet people at the same time. keep us posted on what you do next!
what a fantastic idea and great way to meet all different types of people. My mom did something like that back in Europe and again when she first moved to the states- ski club, she loved it.
