Passive-Aggressive

Because I'm not great at socialising, I rarely hear about any informal social gatherings. The formal ones, with invites and RSVPs are usually no problem. My usual way to deal with an informal gathering that I catch on the wind is to stand around while it's being discussed, generally looking very invitable.

When this fails, I stay home, maliciously not being there just so people will notice and be horrified that they forgot to include me. It doesn't work. This time I want to just turn up anyway - make my own way there and my own way back, maliciously being present in an undeniable way that says "I will include myself even if you try to exclude me". This time, my plan is foiled by external forces. Next time, Gadget. Next time!
