I've noticed that my brain's default friends activity is "go hang at a bar". (lemm.ee)

99% of my ideas for what to do with friends have to do with "we hang, but at a bar".

I've started to consider suggesting aquarium trips, outdoor movie nights, etc, but then I decided it might be nice to chit chat about it with y'all because I wanna hear what y'all like. Especially things you didn't expect to be as pleasant as they were but became a regular thing.

The thing is that my partner and I have gone sober recently, and since I'm specifically thinking of this from the perspective of "I want to avoid alcohol", it's causing me to have a bit of a "don't think about the polar bear" moment.

We've also begun opening our circle up a bit, and while I'm perfectly comfortable having good friends come over for whatever, it feels too intimate to invite folks you barely know over.
