ok, what exactly happened? did you actually make an ass of yourself, or were you just feeling so self-conscious that you felt like something you did was a bigger deal than it was? i'm not at all trying to discredit how you're feeling, i just want you to keep things in perspective :) (*hugs*)

besides that, i can't speak for that group, but i hung out with people from work at a bar that i was never all that fond of, and their attitude seemed to be that going out drinking with the group, regardless of the actual behavior there, was a big thumbs up kewlnesswise.

and if they're snarky bastards... screw em. :) you rock and if they are too icky to realize that then who needs em.
