I just accidentally gate-crashed a private exhibition. Oops!

Hahaha!! Just strut around and pretend like you totally belong and I bet no-one will question you ;))

[oxoniensis]

I did! I didn't quite have the nerve to take a glass of wine though!

[innie_darling]

SMOOTH, lady!

[oxoniensis]

I was! I didn't react at all when I realised it was private. Just looked like I belonged and chatted a bit! Perhaps my style/outfit was arty enough! *g*

[innie_darling]

I bet you were stylish and arty and lovely.

p.s. Guess what I sent off to beta last night/early this morning?

[oxoniensis]

I'm not bad at colour-blocking my clothes, so I think I looked pretty good. Not so shabby I got any suspicious looks, anyway! *g*

A To the Ends of the Earth fic by any chance?! I feel like I don't deserve it, though - I've been trying to write a story I offered on the Fall Fandom Free-For-All, and totally failing. Such a horrid long bout of being blocked. So you are too good to me.

Just act like you should be there and no one will notice!

Don't miss out on free wine though! :D

[oxoniensis]

Just act like you should be there and no one will notice!

I did, and no one did!

It wouldn't have seemed right to take free wine, though. Besides, what I needed was coffee, or anything caffeinated, not something that might send me to sleep! *g*

The question now is... Was it worth crashing?

I've crashed events (mostly accidentally!) before and then been disappointed when I've got there, it's almost like the thought of it is better than the actual event :D

[oxoniensis]

It was, yes. An excellent exhibition, and I chatted with some interesting people, so I'm glad I stayed even after I realised what I'd done!

Interloper! Drink lots and look classy and it'll be perfect. *g*

[oxoniensis]

I'm always classy! *g*

It can't be that big a deal if it was that easy to accidentally gate crash.

Have fun and brazen it out. You've got a great cocktail party story to tell now.

[oxoniensis]

Oh I'm sure it wasn't a huge deal - the worst that could have happened is that I'd have been asked quietly to leave. It was fun, though, and a great exhibition.

sometimes the unexpected yields the greatest benefits

[oxoniensis]

I find that a lot - I love stumbling across things, not having plans and just wandering until something catches my eye.
