fairjennetEvery Wednesday night there's a dance party across the street. Usually I'm too tired, too boring, too responsible, or too something to go to it. In fact, I make all sorts of excuses not to go to the social events around here. I think I'd be in danger of becoming a hermit if people didn't drop by my camper every hour of the day to ask me for rides, or for band-aids, or to tell me every tiniest detail of whatever current drama is going on in their lives. *sigh*
After a few weeks of this, I just want to curl up in a hole somewhere away from social interaction. I'm naturally shy, damnit. I just can't deal with all of these crazy, creative, dramatic people--not if I want to keep my sanity! How would going to a party help?
But, but, but... I hadn't gone out at night without the kiddo in over a year. I couldn't get any privacy anyway, not with all these people living up in my space. I'd been responsible and boring for so, so long. Yes, I was tired, but lord knows I needed to let go for once. So I slapped on some eyeliner and walked across the street.
I'm glad I did. It reminded me that my friends might be stark, staring insane--but they're also really, really fun.
