Wow. Tonight was the NCTE Holiday Party, an excellent opportunity for people watching. Naturally, I won one of the bottles of wine in the raffle. Why can’t I ever win things that I can actually use? The whole event is a bit awkward, since people brought dates and I don’t really have anyone to take. I hate those moments when everyone else is out dancing and I’m sitting alone and stupid at the table. Oh, and drinking water. Can anyone be more stupid and lame?
