So I have to go to a bridal shower in a couple of hours. The problems with this statement: (a) I almost always hate the idea of leaving my house for social gatherings; (b) it's going to be, apparently, a group of religious girls too and religious people (especially the kind who have bridal showers) and I don't usually mix; (c) UGH. What even is a bridal shower? I mean. She showers every day.

Mostly I don't want to leave my house. I find social interaction a bit difficult when I set the terms--like, I invite people I feel completely comfortable with to dinner at a place I have been to many times, and decide when it starts and ends. I still feel a bit off. I know that's not healthy or sane or whatever but there you go. I don't like leaving my house.

I think I'm going to re-phrase today in my head. I'm going over to a friend's house and, surprisingly, there will be a lot of religious people there who want to talk about how our one friend is getting married in a couple of months.

I've already blocked out that this shower was happening, like, ten times. I would literally forget about it until people reminded me. It's been going on for weeks.

BUT GUYS. We're going to play bridal-themed games. I can't make my horror into an emoticon but take it from me: THE HORROR, THE HORROR.
