I don't know why I continue to bother going to school social events by myself when it always ends the same way -- with me feeling awkward and wanting to leave long before the event has ended (and usually no more than five minutes after the event has begun). I always think, "Perhaps this time I will mingle; perhaps I will see some friend of mine to sit with."
I cannot mingle for the life of me, and I don't have enough friends to run into them without planning to.
Being alone, sitting awkwardly and staring off into the distance, trying desperately to look something other than merely pathetic -- this is the usual result.
Halloween Poe Reading (English event): Failure.
(It was also the reason I was not on AIM tonight, if anyone was wondering.)
(But I am just being moody.)
On the bright side, my costume was a fair success (inasmuch as, throughout the day, some didn't realize I was wearing a costume, and others pronounced it was "cute").
I finished watching the first season of Higurashi tonight, which was quite enjoyable. I also watched the first episode of the second season, so I'm squared away to continue it when I have time. Perspectives are twisted and the real reason behind events has yet to be revealed -- it's utterly complicated, and you all know that's the kind of thing I love.
It was not quite misty tonight, but there was a vague sheen beneath the safety lights that made me think of the otherworldly.
