a comfortably middle-class acquaintance offered me an extra ticket to a midnight showing of a cool flick i wouldn't mind re-watching. BART will be closed by the time it lets out, so it's already an annoying scenario but whatev, that's SF. guess i'll drive and try to find parking.

let's meet for dinner before i said, as the real reason i'm going is to talk with folks.

but they picked a tapas bar (not really dinner imo) i don't find affordable that's in the worst parking area of the city and over 2 miles from the venue. so that would be finding parking twice for a meal i don't feel affordable.

double fail. weighing options.

@alyx Ugh. It sucks so much trying to keep up with richer pals.

@ikea_femme yeah, it sucks every time

sometimes they offer to pay my way but i find it very hard to say yes to that. even have trouble accepting help from my (much better off) partner atm
