A most peculiar thought

Hm... I had a most peculiar thought today.

Started thinking about this friends' gathering I have to attend tomorrow evening. Some of them will be bringing their boyfriends and husbands along. Most of the guys are (surprise, surprise) unattached and will probably come alone.

Dunno why, I started wondering... What would they do if I were to bring a gal along and declare her my 'girl-friend'? Would they stay friends with me? What would their reactions be?

Not that I have a 'girl-friend'... But I must say, I'm not exactly adverse to the concept, you know. There is that remote possibility. I just wonder how my friends should react to it if the possibility should come to pass. Would they take in their stride?

Am I too shallow to think that they might ostracize me? Or perhaps they might take it as knowing another gal friend?

Hm... The holidays always bring weird thoughts to me...
