No, really, this happened
My dearios will know that
oursins do not tend to deal well with having to participate in social events involving strangers, because a) we are introverts and b) we have difficulty hearing conversations in loud crowded spaces.
So, yesterday my niece had invited me to join her and a group of friends who meet up monthly for socialisation (it's connected with the series of feminist events she's organising), and I might have bailed if I hadn't had other reasons to go to the Town Where I Was Born yesterday.
I was also given pause by this meetup being held in a pizza restaurant.
And I had a really great time with good conversation and feelings of connection and energisation.
Also - although there did turn out to be non-pizza things I could have eaten - the place was quite happy to make me a pizza without cheese on request. WIN.
Perhaps I really should get out more? This entry was originally posted at http://oursin.dreamwidth.org/2562152.html. Please comment there using OpenID. View
