Nearly didn't go out last night, as 'twas feeling fairly anti-social - and even a bit socially anxious (WFT?!) ahead of time. Luckily a well-timed txt msg from and subsequent back 'n' forth disco w/

hiddentass helped me realize that I would indeed benefit from s'more socializing. So, I donned my white silk bloomers 'n' top topped w/lovely silk robe, prepared a quick apples 'n' goat cheese 'n' cracker plate, and went out and had a really good time at last night's house party. Got to meet new, interesting people and spend more time w/folks I already know somewhat, which I quite liked. Even as I drove over to the Casa, I felt good and happy, w/the anxiety totally gone.

Dunno what's up w/these bits of social anxiety 'n' anti-social feelings kicking in ahead of a get-together, but experience tells me that it's usually best just to go and dive into the scene. Figure if'n I end up really not enjoying the experience, I can always leave and return home, at least for things that aren't too much trouble (cheap, not too much prep, not too far away).
