It was great! There were at least 30 people crammed into my friend's tiny apartment and I rocked it. I've known the hosts 7yrs now, but barely know their guests. Their friends, coworkers, acquaintances, etc were all so warm and welcoming- they raved about how awesome my side dish was. I even introduced myself to new faces. 

It made me realize that I'm not always the anti-social freak my ex made out to be or that I constantly think I am. I CAN be this vibrant, interesting person in a crowded room. 

Riding this high note for as long as possible :)
