Stacey's twin sister, Danielle, decided to make a Vancouver road trip (from Calgary); Stacey and Devin joined her (though they're flying back in eleven hours or so; she's staying for another few days). Saturday night I joined them for drinks after dinner; tonight I joined them for both dinner and drinks.

Going out drinking with friends is a funny thing; you have to be in roughly the same mindset to make it work, it seems, and by mindset I really mean blood alcohol level. When I'm happy and suitably tipsy, among friends, I get a feeling that I can only describe as euphoria. I don't get that much, here—don't get me wrong; I have some good friends in Vancouver, but most of them seem to drink little or not at all. (And don't get me wrong; I'm not a heavy drinker, but I do like to have a few every week or two, and I often lack the company.) Devin is a really nice guy, and Dani seems nice, and Stacey—I don't talk to her very often these days, but she is and remains a true friend to me in the sense that she's someone I trust, feel comfortable around, and feel affection for (and not merely an amicable acquaintance in the sense of someone whose company I enjoy without feeling any particular affection for the person).

In conclusion, then, I have had a rare opportunity to get quite tipsy and euphoric in company that makes me comfortable and unselfconscious, and I have had one of the best weekends I've experienced in recent memory. Thanks, guys—I'll miss you. Come visit Vancouver more often.
