I ...I think that is what I like about you so much. I am not a round peg - though I used to look like one! People are always surprised when I say I am quiet at parties, especially if I don't know anyone - then I fade into the woodwork! And I like that you and Cuppa and your kids are allowed to be who they are - it is a beautiful thing!Lonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09174528539177489353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-1163437145116697982006-11-13T11:59:00.000-05:002006-11-13T11:59:00.000-05:00Hey, what's wrong with staying at home?

It's just a fact. <BR/><BR/>The mate never liked those huge events either. I do better as I tend to be out going enough to remove the bored feeling by getting a bunch telling jokes by telling a really bad one of my own or some other ice breaking device.<BR/><BR/>It's ok not to have fun and to have left because it was a farce of a thank you is just fine.<BR/><BR/>Don't worry so much, ami!Valerie - Still Riding Forwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15148433989184665687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-1163282674245092502006-11-11T17:04:00.000-05:002006-11-11T17:04:00.000-05:00Ima!

Unfortunately, this aversion of mine to thin social gruel is to avoid participating in worthy organizations. I'm going to attend a local naturalist society banquet on the 18th and I'm already gnashing my teeth. Like you, I don't drink much, but I'm reconsidering that disposition.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00548755592157386484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-1163267415477258822006-11-11T12:50:00.000-05:002006-11-11T12:50:00.000-05:00I feel much the same way and rarely feel comfortab...I feel much the same way and rarely feel comfortable in large crowded gatherings where I know few of the people. My hubby, on the other hand, is just a social butterfly and makes friends with strangers in the blink of an eye. Therefore, I simply tend to cling to his coat tails.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-1163266003295878752006-11-11T12:26:00.000-05:002006-11-11T12:26:00.000-05:00"Contrived" is never good. Ick.Next time, if I we..."Contrived" is never good. Ick.<BR/><BR/>Next time, if I were going to a party with you, I'd bring my Scrabble game along, plop it on the table and say, "This is a crummy party, isn't it? Let's play. Two minute limit for each turn." <BR/><BR/>Or even better, Dutch Blitz. Have you ever played Dutch Blitz? No one has to take turns. No one has to line up for tables.
