Where was Twitter when I needed it?

Could have Twittered last week at an Un-named event with teenagers:

-I might have social anxiety after all. Or these people are just a**holes.

-I'm in a room full of people that I have little in common with.

-What will I talk about with people that I have little in common with?

-I tried to sit at a table with someone that I knew. They told me to find another table. Nice.

-Found another table with parents of younger kids.

-Our talk consisted of 'Where will HG go to school next year?' (answer given) 'Oh.'

-There is more jailbait cleavage in this room than should be legally allowed.

-Parents should not try to relive their childhood. Ever.

-How can she sit with that (non) dress on?

-A one word description should be just that.

-Very few of these kids can walk in heels. Try flats.

-There is more texting going on than actually paying attention to the event.

-3 hours later and this is not over.

-I'm leaving.

So are you actually on twitter, then? :)

Oh, and from your comments, whatever event that was sounded like hell. HELL!

OMG - You poor thing. I have been to some of those events. I heard once that if you're over 30 you should NOT wear a mini-skirt, no matter what the the reason...I wish everyone could hear that...it is NOT flattering. You stated it perfectly...parent's should NOT relive their childhood. EVER.

I'll be feeling your pain tomorrow night...BIG SIGH...that I am so not looking forward to, and I can imagine I'll have many of the same issues...

People continue to amaze me...

That sounds like the worst evening ever. If you come and try to sit at my table at BlogHer, I will not tell you to find another one. In fact, I hope we can find each other and meet! I'll be the introvert trying to be an extrovert.

Sounds like a nightmare. Although, I have to say, I don't get the Twitter thing. I can't imagine anyone wanting the play by play of my life! LOL! :)

Ooohhh... Sounds torturous. I always feel out of place at events... Can believe they asked you to find another table. Oh well, their loss, right?
