There's a group that gets together every Monday night and tonight I joined them.

They are friends of friends and I know them all, but never really felt like part of the group. But then I never feel part of any group. I try.

Last Monday I went to meet with them at Casa Vega a place I really hate and was involved at one time in a fight in the parking lot. So wasn't really thrilled about meeting there.

I arrived late and the booth the boys got was full with no space for me. There was a small metal folding chair brought to me, but I would have been sitting in the path of foot traffic. Very uncomfortable. So I passed and left.

The guys didn't believe it. How could I leave?

Tonight I was the butt of the joke as it was brought up several times. However, It was a night to welcome back our friend from the Far East, or where ever Thailand is...

So we had Thai food! At a place called Sompun in Studio City.

That's what I need now, Some Poon!

It was fun. I wish I could feel comfortable in groups. More accepted. Liked. A part of the crowd.

I'm trying...

Seating is important though.
