Socialising attempt number... meh.
Well, that was four hours of my life I'm not getting back.
Given the group's somewhat nascent existence and subsequent randomness of location/event choices, I may even be willing to try again. But still, standing around outside a pub for three hours in humid heat and noise levels that made any conversation below a bellow incomprehensible even before a helicopter decided this was its favorite spot to hover over, and having sod all to take away from it except a shirt that now smells like it was used as a cigarette filter, I feel that the resulting headache and exhaustion will likely last until at least tomorrow, if not Sunday.
This is on top of not really being the most social guy in the world, and tending towards the introvert aspect. As a result, I now have a zillion tensed tendons and muscles to go with the pickled eyeballs and rough throat. I'm aware that noisy pubs are somewhat traditional for a Friday night, but to be deadly honest, I REALLY much prefer peace and quiet with my social activities.
Now I need to go fall in a heap for many hours and see if I can unwind.
