Hanna had another party at her place, I'm gonna break down the experience:

Cons
I had also no signifigant social interaction with anyone.
Certain people who I was hoping to see didn't show up.
Yasmin and Midge left early.
Absinthe is an awful, awful drink that burns for a long time after you've swallowed it.
My already present dislike towards Fuzz

Absinthe is an awful, awful drink that burns for a long time after you've swallowed it.
you are only the second person i know ever to admit that, thanks ^^

when several people decided to make hurtful comments.
that really sucks! did someone at least back you up and told them to fuck off?

My horse came seventh and actually finished the race, better than the horses everyone else chose.
*g* i once was forced to bet on something i had no clue about..and did better than all the "experts".

No-one really backed me up but that was because the comments weren't directly hurtful. Someone asked why I was in heels and Simon - Hanna's flatmate - said it was because I was gay. Now I like Simon, he can be a bit of a dick at times but on the whole he's a decent guy, but I don't know him that well and he definitely doesn't know me very well either; so I don't think it was fair of him to tell everyone that the reason I was dressing in drag was due to my sexuality. I tried arguing the point that I was only doing it for fun and didn't actually get off in wearing heels and all that, but no-one actually listened. It pisses me off when people use the gay schema and apply it to me, because I'd like to think I'm not as stereotypically gay as that. I act it up a bit when I'm being silly with my friends, but if I'm just sat down talking to someone I'm just me.

I always just choose the horse with the silliest name and don't bother to read the odds or what the experts have said XD

I love absinthe but one NYE husband got so drunk on it that he broke a rib puking in the morning. Yes. HE VOMMED SO HARD HE CRACKED A RIB. That's some hecka nasty booze.

But I love it. I've got a £65 bottle of Swiss absinthe that I'm keeping for a special occasion.

This probably won't help much, but my life improved considerably when I accepted that I do not have to enjoy parties, or go to them. Most parties are my idea of hell on Earth. Same with most evenings in pubs, bars or clubs. I do better in small groups, and there's no law anywhere saying I have to be otherwise. Having said that, now I'm older I find them a bit more enjoyable, but it's still touch and go tbh.

It wasn't bad exactly, it's just the only alcohol I've ever drank that burned for several minutes after I swallowed it; which was a very weird sensation.

I'm the same, I do much better in small social groups; so at parties I tend to bounce around between who's talking to who looking for my friends and seeing who they're with. I don't want to avoid all parties either, because sometimes I have a lot of fun and sometimes I get on a downer very quickly and stay there.

I've made my mind up to go to Hanna's next party in two weeks time and if I get on a downer I'll say bye and just got home.
