<3 yay
Volunteered to be my friend's DD at her 22nd birthday dinner gathering tonight. I'm really, really happy I did because she wouldn't have had one otherwsie-- all of the other people that showed up don't live near us, and my friend only lives 15 minutes away, on the way I was headed.
And I had a good time, even though it was pretty awkward. I really HATE social gatherings where I only know one person and it's even harder when the one person I know is the reason there's a party. But we all had a really good time, and I was able to relax and join a lot of the conversation, and there was nomnomnom food and my friend is a loving drunk <3 XD
The only downside was, because there were so many of us, the restaurant put us up at high tables and we had to sit on bar stools. And my back is permanently messed up due to the car accident I got into two years ago (two years on the 27th!). The posture the bar stools gave me pinched my sciatic nerve so perfectly that, for the first fifteen minutes, my entire left AND right sides siezed up. It felt like my muscles were on fire and I thought I was going to have to leave, I was in so much pain. However, I was able to take Advil, get some liquid in me, and readjust my posture so I could sit more comfortably.
Nothing like a pinched sciatic nerve to forcefeed Charlie horse-muscle spasms from your neck, down your arms, and down your rib cage :(
(Do you know how long it took me to figure out what tag I use for pain? I tried SO many before I was like, "oh. Ha. 'Ow.'")
