In my view you haven't chickened out of wearing a dress, you've taken a stand against mindless conformity. But you've chickened into attending.

i just stand there and smile and if there are babies or small children i play with them. if there is an animal, that's even better. usually i focus on the food and watch everyone. i like to people watch :)

I don't go to them, I refuse to unless I have to.

When I do, I just stay by my mom or my dad and don't talk to anyone.
