That sounds like fun but if you're not comfortable can you go for the drawing part and leave right after?1 -
I'm trying to figure out excursions for my birthday cruise. So far all I've booked is Herculaneum which I guess is kinda cool2

It’s not really an after; it’s more of a during. I’ll listen to a couple of motivational podcasts and see if I can make myself goAlinouveau2 wrote: »TwitchyMagee wrote: »I joined this drawing class because I wanted to learn stuff but last week at class someone suggested we do charcuterie and wine at the next class which is tomorrow and I’m really uncomfortable with unscripted socializing and eating with smudgy fingers.

I’m fairly introverted so that whole scenario of forced socialization sounds awful, but I’d have the hardest time sharing charcuterie with grimy hands of people I don’t know well. 🥴3 -

I dislike eating in front of people, particularly strangers. Eating is such an unattractive thing with all the mess and crunching. It'd be a hard pass from me. Or you could take a cab, and a bottle of absinthe, and get utterly plastered so that you don't care about the forced socialising.2 -

🤣 there is a certain appeal to that idea but…
Remember how you said you live in the sticks? Well I live so far into the sticks there aren’t any cabs. The class I’m taking is in a city about an hour away from me but I don’t think I could get a taxi to take me all the way home and if I could it would cost a small fortune.
I have never had absinthe. I would like to try it one day. What’s the difference between absinthe and Pernod?

Oh wow. an hour? You're even more rural than me. Do you have a rocking chair on your porch with a shotgun next to it?
Pernod is absinthe's law-abiding, socially acceptable older sister, who fits into polite society. You'll be sociable, witty and your artwork won't suffer.
Absinthe is pernod's degenerate younger brother, who reguarly wants to crash on your sofa because he drank the rent again, and isn't even *allowed* in an uber after breaking the soiling rules. You'll be unsociable, not as witty as you think, and your artwork will resemble the mess in the uber. On the plus side you won't give a *kitten* and will have a place to stay when you pass out on the art tables and everybody else is too afraid to move you.

I'm just an amateur sadly. But thanks Twitch!
I feel we need to see more of this dog on here, btw.2 -

omg you’re not from North America. I had no idea. Anyway, yes money is a gift. Though it does rub me the wrong way when people specify what kind of gift they want to be given. And that is most likely a generational thingGoing to a wedding in Essex this summer. They told all guests they just want money. No gifts. Isn’t money a gift? I’m wondering to myself if that’s a good thing that they’re being so direct because it makes it easier or if it’s kind of rude? Maybe it’s a cultural or generational difference. It’s been awhile since I went to a wedding.
At least there will be Eton Mess to look forward to, meeting new people and exploring around the location of the wedding.

She was correct 😁
For the longest time I thought you were an American too.
We’re a minority group in here 🇬🇧

I am very much from North America although the opposite coast from you. 😂 I just have deep ties to England and it will be the first time back since before the pandemic. I think it just rubbed me the wrong way with the request because this is only one of many.
OK phew! I thought I was losing my Britdar.
Hopefully the wedding will at least be fun. Will you wear a (funny) hat?

Your twatdar is clearly working, it identifies me every time I mention Liverpool.

In law drama on the weekend...today someone for our ice show, which is this weekend, didn't like the colour of the skirt she was assigned and decided she was quitting and threw it in the garbage. This is an adult!! I lead the group today, just assigned someone else her spot, rescued the skirt from the garbage, gave it to the person who wanted to trade it to someone so they could get the one they wanted (as an adult would do) and then offered to help out with the kids she was supposed to be helping but I'm sure will now let down.
What's with all the drama lately??!!!!1 -

I want to do hood rat things with my friends but I don’t want a hangover. I want to be on a beach somewhere too. Too much other than work and training on my mind. Does that mean I need a vacation?0

I mean, I guess it was fun. But what’s left? So long & thanks for all the fish0
