Oops.

I went to a [fan organization] party last night and stayed longer than I thought I would.  (And spent more time than I thought I would on fixing my uniform before I went.)

It was a lot of fun, though.

I talked to people!  I socialized!

And I was very glad I wore my new shoes.  Talky Important Guy towered over me marginally less than he would have otherwise, which was helpful in not making me feel too overpowered.
