I went shopping tonight for pirate costume stuff! With one of my good mates from uni. He has a pirate party on saturday night and another of my friends is going to a different pirate party on the same night. She also knows of yet another pirate party on saturday! I think it must be national pirate party day on saturday...
speaking of which...
Tomorrow is National Cuddle Day!.

Anyways, was heaps of fun. Me and my mate don't get to hang out that much anymore but we get along really well and generally have heaps of fun doing whatever it is we're doing at the time... and usually make a lot of noise in the process and tend to get other people involved in our discussions. It's interesting how you get some much more boldness when you're hanging out with a mate. In this instance we'll ask random shop staff their opinions about same random topic we're arguing about, or ask them which is the best colour parrot for pirates etc. Normally neither of us would do that sort of thing, just having the company creates a sort of rash boldness.

Do you have a specific friend that tends to increase your self confidence when you hang out with them? What sort of stuff do you do out of the ordinary with them? hmm, share some stories :-)
