Ya know, after years of getting mass facebook invites (you know, the one where someone invites ALL their friends to something, even if they live clear across the country or even in a different country) and invitations for my son with no name on them because the kid invited the whole class, it's really nice to get an honest to goodness personal message asking me to go somewhere. Sure, this person has been on my facebook for years and has rarely contacted me, but maybe she has the same anxiety issues that I have. Maybe her daughter is in that phase where she wants to play with girls, so she doesn't ask to invite my son over. I mentioned to this woman, who goes to my old UU church, that I was studying Wicca and she asked if I wanted to go to a Samhain celebration with her (next month, coincides with Halloween). I'm dubious because I wasn't sure if I was ready to put myself out there yet but it's not like I'm committing to a coven or anything. It sounds very relaxed and could be nice. But on the other hand I'm hoping she's not using this opportunity to try to get me back into the UU church, which has a pagan chapter. I don't really want to be part of an organized church.
