Anxietyville, Population: Me!

Why hello there. Tomorrow evening I will be attending a dress-up-and-socialize thing with Lee and sundry other law school students. Who I haven't met before. And also there will be dressing up, if I hadn't mentioned. So my mind, it is abuzz with extremely comforting thoughts, if you find things like UTTER DISASTER to be comforting. Here, a sampling of things that kept me from sleeping last night...

What if I'm overdressed?
What if I'm underdressed?
What if we don't even make it there because I have to walk across campus in high heels, and I fall down in pain and despair halfway there and I got over- or underdressed for no reason?
What if none of Lee's friends are there and I don't have anyone to entertain me?
What if they're all there but they don't like me?
What if I don't like them?
What if the cash bar is super expensive? (Ha, silly question: that is guaranteed.)
What if I drink too much?
What if I don't drink enough?
What if Lee and I are physically incapable of dancing together, as he is nearly a foot taller than me?
What if I forget to wear underwear?
What if the party is attacked by terrorists?
What if someone is doing drugs and I accidentally am standing near them when the drug bust goes down, and the cops assume I'm involved and they arrest me too?
What if there's some sort of mistake and I get pig's blood dumped on me?

The crazy is at the top of its game this week. Pray that tomorrow night I don't just burst into tears under the weight of my own neuroses. THIS IS NOT AS UNLIKELY AS YOU MIGHT THINK.

By the way, I promised some more pictures of Philadelphia, (or maybe I just promised them in my head, but either way) I plan to follow through. Soon-ish. Well, either that, or a post about how I thought I had a UTI but then I didn't.
