Friends before Food

I can be unreasonably logical.  Sometimes, putting too much thought into things gets in my way.  Last night some friends were going to BOGO slice night at a pizza place here.  I wanted to go, but I was very torn.  I have a ton of food at my house that I need to eat before I go home for Easter.  I also don't like to spend money, even though my total bill on BOGO night is always under $5.  And, I intended to work on my paper last night that I am suppose to have done by today.  Some may say, "You have to eat anyway.  Why don't you just go?"  But when I eat at my house it takes me 30min, where as going out with my friends ends up taking about 2.5hrs of my evening.  I want to be fun and hang out with my friends, but all of the info presented here would result in the decision to stay home.  Can you feel the tension inside me? So, I called Tyler which is what I do when I can't make a decision.  Before I called him, I knew what he would say.  He would tell me to go and say that time with friends trumps all of my reasoning.  But I called, and he told me to go.  I started to explain all of my reasoning and only got to the amount of food in my fridge at home when he started to yell into the phone, "Friends Before Food, Friends Before Food, friend!  You go, Friends Before Food!"  So, I went.  It was fun, and now I have to write my paper.
