I've been thrust to be a host tonight and I'm not Host material...

I tend to drink and smoke more under pressure...
-my old trick used to be: create some grand diversion so their focus isn't on what's really going on.. but there will invariably be someone in the group that really sees my ineptitude and then I will have to shift my focus on dealing with them ...
and that's where the new problems always come in..
but after tonight I probably won't be asked again

Aren’t you old enough so you are no longer influenced by peer pressure? That’s a teenage thing.

@RedBaron It might not be so obvious later in life but it is quite definitely still something that happens. And of course while @atlantic59's peers might not be deliberately pressuring him I imagine that he would still prefer to not make a fool of himself in front of them or anyone else.

@RedBaron no, I will never be old enough -it is not peer pressure it is former girlfriend wanting things to go right for her, pressure since I always owe and always want to not say no

@ninalanyon thank you. -cause after the crowd leaves and goes back to their other Provinces, I still have to walk the local streets after the small town editorials have their comments and people who can only judge by what they've heard,- me and my innocent puppy really just want to return to a peaceful life. No parties. No hosting

small town police reports are big. There is a whole column on page three. If you ever get the yellow tape put around your perimeter it can take over a year to live it down
