i detest social events.
HOW TO BE A WALLFLOWER:
1. sit close to the rest of the group. not far away or you will stand out. if you're close [not clingon close] you wont stick out like a sore thumb
2. wear something nice and appropriate. dont wear a ball gown to a pool party, but dont wear jeans to formal dinner
3. laugh with everyone. you will fit in better with the group and you wont make you're host feel guilty that you arent having a good time
4. if someone makes eye contact, give them a toothpaste commercial quality smile. you might even make a new friend if you're lucky
5. straggle behind, but make sure not to make a cinderella entrance. dont lead the group or they will think you actually know where you're going.
