Successes of a Sunday Night

Ever since the beginning of the year, we've been trying to be more social, more accepting, more outgoing. (When I say 'we' I mean my roommate and me). However, it's a little bit difficult to be social when you have your whole ward in one tiny apartment, meant for 6 people. It's also hard when you're naturally an introvert, like myself.
Last night, a Sunday night, we tried again. It's been a whole week and a half since we've been here and we still don't know anyone in our own ward. So we went to an ice cream social in some guy's apartment. I still don't know what guy it even was. I couldn't hear myself think. Stranger's voices were pressing in on the walls of my head, gradually getting louder because they couldn't even hear themselves. I plopped myself down on the back of a couch with my store-bought cookie, attempting a conversation with a guy who had the misfortune of looking like a deacon. He knew of this misfortune as well, poor guy. Pretty soon, a couple of cute guys who had a hard time remembering my name, bless their hearts, invited us to join them in the courtyard to play games. I was more than eager to extract myself from the room. I wound and squeezed my way through what seemed like an impossibly tight room, and then hurdled over random people camping out on the stairwell.
The name of the game was Ninja. Don't ask me to explain it, for I stank at it and I was only there for the cute guys, sad enough as it is. It got old after a while anyway, but I didn't want to leave. My goal was to be social and make friends. However, the game got stale. Watching people try to hit other people for 20 minutes was long enough. My roommate got bored with it as well and we agreed to go back to our apartment and kick off our Disney Movie Sundays. As luck would have it, the two cute guys overheard our conversation and were immediately intrigued. We invited them over to watch Up, the movie neither of them had seen, for they were two recently RMs.
We rushed home and began, frantically, to make brownies, smoothies, and popcorn. Soon enough the guys arrived, bringing with them a few more guys. It was a good night. After the movie, in an attempt to have them stay just a little bit longer, we bribed them to play Apples to Apples. It worked. Apart from the fact that during the night we received a couple unwanted visitors, and once it hit midnight-thirty we wanted to go to sleep, it was a pretty awesome night.
Thank you Walt Disney.
