update from my where do i even start thread last month: i took the advice, found the local munch, emailed the organiser, and she was genuinely lovely about it. it’s tomorrow, 7pm, a normal pub.
and now my brain has opened every file it has on me. what do people wear, is it obviously dressy or aggressively casual? do i just say hi i’m new to a table of strangers who all know each other? is there etiquette i can trip over without knowing it exists? what if someone asks what i’m into and my answer is a five second buffering symbol? and the big stupid one: what if someone from my normal life sees me walk in. it’s a pub. normal people also go to pubs. i have prepared zero cover stories.
twenty hours to go. tell me the true boring version of what happens please, i respond well to boring.
