So. I went to a party. Here’s what happens when WeeGee goes to a party.
1. When she realises that she can’t remember the last time she went to a party she will enter a state of sheer panic. What does one wear to a party? Should I take a gift? Why am I going to a party – I hate parties? What if I cry? What if I make a fool of myself?
2. Taking into account the aforementioned panics plus at least a trillion others WeeGee will decide she is definitely not going to go to a party.
3. However, when she receives a text from the person who is hosting the party saying ‘no worries if you can’t make it tonight. Have a nice evening’ she will decide to go to the party after all because she’s sick of proving everyone, including herself, right.
4. Whilst on the way to the party WeeGee remembers the ‘gift panic’ and makes a detour via waitrose where she spends a stupid amount of time trying to decide whether to take wine, flowers or chocolate.
5. When WeeGee decides she can’t decide whether to take wine, flowers or chocolate she will decide to take all three in order to overcome the problem.
6. However, when she gets into the queue to pay she decides taking all three is ridiculous and has to surreptitiously dump the flowers and chocolate before reaching the till.
7. Upon arriving at the party WeeGee feels like an idiot and has to try very hard not to cry, or puke, or both.
8. When WeeGee realises she spent so long faffing about in Waitrose that she missed SIR FRANK TURNER PLAYING AT THE OPENING CEREMONY WARM-UP she feels like an idiot and has to try very hard not to cry, or puke, or both*.
9. (And this is the big one) WeeGee doesn’t cry, puke, or spontaneously combust, in fact she doesn’t even have a terrible time at the party.
10. WeeGee wonders why she doesn’t go to parties more often.
Lots of love WeeGee, party animal!
*Everytime I remember that I missed SIR FRANK TURNER PLAYING AT THE OPENING CEREMONY WARM-UP I still feel like an idiot and have to try very hard not to cry, or puke, or both.
How do you eat an elephant? 
Who is Frank Turner? xox
Woah! Who is Frank Turner indeed! He’s a wonderful wonderful singer who used to front a punk band – the million dead. Now he just sings amazing songs in an amazing way. He really is super. I commend him to you 😀
Ok, I will look him up 🙂
This is him singing at the best gig I ever went to in my life:
It sounds daft, but I think it might be the only time I ever felt like I ‘belonged’ anywhere ever 🙂
glad you went and had a good time at the party. look at the good don’t focus on the bad (to you ) part of missing something. xo
I’m glad I went too. Thanks for the encouragment 🙂
Whoop whoop! Good on you for fIghting all those fears and going. Xox

Okay, so was the wine the appropriate gift? If so remember it for next time…because there WILL be a next time, right? You had fun, right? That means you need to try it again! Very proud of you, Miss WeeGee! Hugs, Rainey
I think the wine was appropriate and I’m glad I stopped at that. Hmm. Here’s to next time. Now I just need someone to invite me to a party!
