I find myself, quite literally, in the midst of a dilemma.

I have two sets of friends: a crazy, drama-loving set and a low-key, more serious set. I enjoy my time with both groups of people; sometimes I need a little stress and sometimes I need a shot of serenity. I like clubbing; I like board games. And I love them all.

But when it comes to certain events (birthdays, New Year's, graduation, etc), I find myself torn between the masses. It's like having divorced parents when you have to decide who you're with on Thanksgiving and who gets Christmas. However, when parents divorce, they know they're going to have to share you from the minute they sit you down on that couch. Friends have no such knowledge. Any time I feel that I must "choose" between the two, it makes me want to spend the day or evening in my room, watching LOST or 24 instead of celebrating anything.

No one makes me feel guilty; none of my friends are really in to the whole guilt trip as persuasion. But I feel as if I've let someone, somewhere down. I don't really know how to reconcile this problem since I feel that never the twain shall meet.

Could someone, somewhere, clone me?
