Well, that was interesting.
Got to work and Josh tells me "We don't need you tonight; we've already got three cooks back here." So I leave and head for Casa Imbri, for movies, merriment, and a rumored film crew making a documentary on sexuality, focusing on bisexuality. Stood around watching others make merry with alcohol and WoW, talking every once in a while.
I wallflower very well. :/
Anyway, film crew showed up around 8-ish (I really wasn't paying much attention); much conversation ensued amongst everyone else, while I continued to wallflower. There were several times I had to leave the room due to the extreme scent of alcohol (
ravendisplayed made some seriously strong Jungle Juice). There were a few conversations I was interested in, but I didn't want to just jump in, so I hung to the outside for quite some time.
Because I had expressed my interest in talking for the camera, the film crew did eventually approach me with how and where they were going to do this; I would have been fine with individual interviews, but they decided on a group-type deal, which was fine too.
I do wish I had spoken up more, but I feel it may have been detrimental to the documentary; I just generally like to talk about how unusual I am, but that would have completely derailed their purpose. That, and I'm also not comfortable with discussing myself with strangers.
There were a few times when others expected me to speak on furry fandom, it would seem, or thought I was referencing it. I was not intending to do so except towards the very end.
By the end, I was completely socially burned-out, so I left before they started Tron. Even now, I'm so burned-out it's hard to concentrate on this.
I really, REALLY wanted to discuss my personal oddities. Again, it wasn't the place. Dear god, I'm such a frigging closet histrionic. :/ Now I really want to discuss it.
EDIT: And to demonstrate just how uncomfortable a situation it is for me to discuss things like this - a room frequenter just flat-out asked me if I was furry, and I denied it.
