no you don't know what it's likewelcome to my life

So its finally come up, the dreaded invitation that I did not want. The event in question: my soon to be cousin-in-law’s stagette. I was actually hoping that she wasn’t going to have one but I guess that she is now. I will flat out say I don’t want to go, I didn’t even go to my own cousin’s stagette and was able to use work as an excuse. If I’m going to skip out on this one i’ll have to get quite crafty as I’m one of the bridesmaids my cousin (who is also a bridesmaid) said we’re obligated to go, but I know I won’t enjoy it.

I don’t mind the first part of the plan but its the rest I don’t care for. The itinerary for the night is dinner at a restaurant (always up for that), followed by a passion party and hanging out in a club until 2am. I don’t have any interests in the passion party (I don’t have a boyfriend anyway) and the list of things I don’t do include drinking, dancing, enjoy loud music in crowded areas with people I don’t know….so as you can tell this sounds like a fun filled night for me. I’ve never enjoyed clubbing so I can’t imagine I’m going to start anytime soon. Also aside from that I don’t have the money to spend. I’m already spending cash (that should be going to my savings for school) on my dress, hair/makeup appointment, and present for the wedding, and don’t feel like shelling out the money on a night I won’t enjoy. I don’t mind social events but I simply don’t enjoy things that people from the social “norm” find entertaining.

So what’s a girl to do? Suffer through intense anxiety for the night or hope that the bride will understand that its just not my thing? Grr
