Last Night (Or: Why I Am Single)

• Against my better judgement, and only because I'd RSVPd, went to a tech-y, business-y launch event after work
• Picked up nametag and immediately went to bar
• Champagne, darling
  
• Was so relieved to see someone I knew that, even though I never liked her all that much, I hugged her
• Talked to her until she said it was time to "go make money"
• Wandered aimlessly around room twice
• Made eye contact with a pretty good looking guy, who was also alone and looked a bit lost
• As he started to approach, I attempted a smile
• Promptly swallowed gum instead
• Made awful face and walked right past him
• Out the door
• All in 15 minutes
• My biggest regret? Not trying the chicken
