falls,
When it comes to just having fun and not trying to do something "right" or "better", maybe, before you start trying stuff with friends, you should something on your own first. Something that doesn't require you to "do" anything. Pamper yourself with a manicure. That way, it’s not your responsibility to get it done or done right. You can just float away while the manicurist (or even better, pedicurist) does her job. If you haven't done it, trust me, this is fun :).
For the things with your friends, I would only suggest starting with activities that don't take very long. Maybe a light movie with ice cream afterwards so you can discuss *the movie*? Do you have an aquarium or another museum that you enjoy? My best friend and I have gone to one of those places where you paint pottery. There might be too much of a need to do that "right", though. But it was fun :).
We also love to talk on the phone. Somehow, we started a kind of tradition each year for the Oscars. Instead of getting together for them, we talk on the phone through the entire pre-show and the show itself. All we do is comment on the outfits, movies, and speeches. In between, we might throw in a little "how was your week" stuff but not too much. This can also be done with "reality" TV or just about any show of mutual liking, I imagine. We did it with Average Joe Hawaii. It was terrible, but we had a ton of fun.
Good luck, falls! You deserve to have a lot of fun!
Take care,
All Done
