Game and Watch Forever:
I just pictured the Allosaurus vomiting Sara up and her art style is EXACTLY the same as we last saw her. Seriously, would we be able to recognize her if Jeph randomly changed his mind and threw her in there somewhere without mentioning who she was?
toffee-skye:
i imagine Sara now would look like Penelope. and/or pre-dye-job Cosette.
Precipice:
Today's last panel reminds me of an old Peanuts strip in which Charile Brown is watching a TV dance show and tells his sister:
"I like to watch people having a good time. I've always wanted to have a good time."

Oh man, this so much. Things people believe that women in their twenties love doing: clubbing, partying, shopping. Things I really do not enjoy doing: clubbing, partying, shopping.
Storel:
Yeah, as a long-time confirmed introvert, parties where I don't know anyone but the person who brought me can be pretty scary/boring. (That is, if I let them scare me to the point where I don't talk to anyone, they end up pretty boring.)
However, I have found that I can have a surprisingly enjoyable time at those if I just start talking to people who look interesting (and/or cute) without any purpose other than finding out what they're like and getting to know them better -- no hidden agendas. If they're not as interesting as they looked, or if they clearly aren't interested in anything I'm interested in, I excuse myself to get another drink or use the restroom, and find someone else to talk to. I recommend that course of action to Marten.
And a little anti-anxiety medication could be useful, but I don't know that he wants to start taking that right before a party. While it's easier to control the dosage than it is with alcohol, it can still take some time to find the right med and the right dosage for you, and the wrong dosage or med could actually make a stressful event even more stressful.

Bonus points to both of you.
--- Quote from: Soulsynger on 07 Jan 2014, 00:49 ---This is where "training by doing" and willfully exposing yourself to scenarios outside of your comfort zone comes in.
Almost everyone is the same way. Once you realize that, it becomes much easier and more natural to ACTUALLY enjoy social occasions. Just have to get yourself out there.

Quoted for truth.
--- Quote from: Soulsynger on 07 Jan 2014, 00:49 ---Concerning the "signs": Some people are better at "writing" them than "reading" them. If you don't think you're getting any signals, try giving them. Someone might pick up.
--- End quote ---
Oh, interesting idea. That honestly never occurred to me before. However, it probably helps a lot to have some idea what some of the signs ARE before trying to send any, or the results might be a lot like trying to speak to a deaf person with sign language when you don't actually know any. (And, of course, once you know what to look for, it becomes much easier to tell when someone else is sending them.)
I learned some of the basic non-verbal signs at a seminar on relationships I took in my mid-twenties, and I have to admit that this knowledge actually helped me get into my first-ever romantic relationship not very much later. (Yes, I was a rather late bloomer.)
