how often do you ever meet someone new and/or just hang out with your friends having great conversation. Not noticing the time passing by but suddenly look at the clock and see that it's 2:30 am?! It's like, wasn't it just an hour ago that it was only 8pm? where did the time go?
Yesterday I went to artscape, a big 3 day art festival, and a friend who lives in the area walking distance from the festival every year she and her husband open the house to friends with food and beer and etc. So you know we're sitting around outside enjoying drinks and company and people are slowly leaving and inevitably it was down to three of us. None of us being the homeowners btw. we're just hanging out talking and everything and next thing we know it's 2:30 am. Two of us had to be up for work in only 3/4 hours... the other had taken the day off. So we finally left.
But it was like, you know you just kind of get lost in good conversation and don't even notice the time flying by.
oh yeah and I also lost my voice a bit. nice.
Does this happen to you often?

It does not happen with friends, but with relatives and family members. All my 4 sisters are in foreign countries and they do visit us once in 6 months or so. When one of them visit us, usually the talks about family, relatives, friends, happenings go on till midnight but not till 2.30. Say uptil 1 a.m.It is because in day time I am busy with my work and they also have to visit some other person.

This happens to me a lot... When in good company time literally flies away... It is not a rarity that we see the sun go up (sober). this is a weekend thing, when i can allow myself to sleep late the next day (same day :) . The last session like this was a few weeks ago. I went on a drink with few friends and a friend came whom i haven't seen for a while... so we started a conversation about his more or less new relationship (and problems) giving each other advices and the time just flew away... I guess we started the conversation about 10 pm and ended it around 4am. When the subject of conversation is good we often get carried away.

LOL - I'm glad that you had a great time!
This does happen to me on occasion. Actually it happened to me the other day. But it wasn't in person - it was on line with instant messenger. I hadn't talked to my friend in a couple of weeks 'cause I was going through something rough and she was kind enough to give me the space I needed. So when we got going that morning it just went on and on. We kept commenting on the time and how it was flying. We didn't get off until after my hubby came home.
My hubby and I do have our occasional late night talks too. I LOVE those. Those nights are so special to me. It's rare that we sit and talk like that. We're it's just the two of us...no distractions ect. It's really nice...

Instant messenger is the same way. I totally used to do that. I never log on my messenger anymore so I don't do that now.
I love good conversation. It's probably the best thing in the world especially when it's in a relationship with a guy.. your boyfriend/fiance/husband whatever. It's just so nice.
The only thing better than good conversations? A good hug :)

Sounds like a cool festival. What did it have? Was it bands and stuff or just a big art festival? That situation does happen to me, but not often. Several of our friends all have kids, so they have to get them in bed and do kid things. It's amazing how you can get lost in conversation with people. It's kinda cool to have that kind of connection with friends though.

There are bands and art. Some art is just there to see (vampiric squirrels. wood shaped as cars, etc.) plus art that you could purchase. There was a ferris wheel and some shows and stuff.
Yeah, most of my friends who are married with kids, well we never talk anymore. I guess because they're so busy with their kids and since I'm not married or with child they don't have time for me since it's not going to be a kid thing or couples thing. so it doesn't happen to me often, but it did this weekend which was nice. with the exception of losing my voice and getting 2 hours of sleep!

I don't know. I think it's an environmental thing.
When I was a kid I got strept throat all the time.
When I turned about 11 or 12 I started losing my voice all the time. Sometimes it's a few hours, sometimes a few days and I've lost it for up to 2 weeks.
It's kind of ridiculous, but no one ever knows why it happens. It's specific times of the year too so that's why i think it's environmental. I always say by the time i'm like 45 I'll probably end up mute :\
