The Watch − 27 January, 2007
So I am in this house, there are about 100 or more people there, all chillin and watching the clock count down to a friend's year anniversary of sobriety.
I'm there, and I know about 3 people one of which is trying his ass off to get with this girl that he met. Heh. No help there. Another of which is a gal that has this card playing fetish. Yes, I mean fetish in all it's possible forms. Ok, so that leaves me with one more guy, and he's about as inept at this socialization thing as I am.
So I face a choice. "The Jumping off Point..." Do I bail and say yea, that was fun, but they were really not all that nice then rationalize myself into thinking that it was really their fault that I left? Or do I walk around and say hello till they get tired of hearing it and actually talk to me?
So all evening I talked to everyone in the party, and now I will know 4 people at the next party. HA! So maybe being a social retard is a cool thing. I get to take the easy route for a little while and play the "new guy."
