Risk

In my efforts to get comfortable going to events again, I went to the Haunted Swamp last night at Silt Studio last night. There was a winding maze through the studio with stops at various art things including fire dancers, a multi-media interactive story, a most unusual story teller, and a sighting of Swamp Fest's famed Toxic Algae Bloom. At the end of the maze, there were two options, go out the exit door or go through the door to the deck and the party. I decided to take a chance on the party. It was loud, overly crowded, and quite dark. I had a couple of conversations with people I knew, but mostly it just reminded I wasn't good at parties before and if anything, now that I'm out of practice, I'm worse at it now. About all I ended up with was a headache and a desire not to be in a crowded room for a while.

Made it. When I started this at the beginning of October, I wasn't actually expecting that I'd do every day. What to do with my November?
