There, I said it. The only think I like is the free booze and occasional free drug. Everything else just sucks.

I'm supposed to be at one right now, but I'm procrastinating.

Funny you mention it... my BF invited people here for a party ( not my idea), and I'm a bit stressed on how to proceed. We have food and beer. I suppose there needs to be music and TV. What makes a party successful? I don't generally "throw" parties. I feel like I'm going to flounder.
I guess if I were going to someone else's party, I'd make use of the alcohol. it does open me up a bit more, and it makes other people accept social blunders more ( since suddenly they're blundering, too). But plan a good escape route in case the party has too many jerks attending, or if it is boring or doesn't have a quiet area. good luck.

I agree though it totally depends on the types of people at the parties. I'm 20 so and I went to college parties at a big uni the past 2 years....most of them I didnt really enjoy because they were filled with idiot jocks, stoners, frat guys, sorority beezies and generally just loud college kids. Sometimes there would be more mature college people my age and those parties I enjoyed a lot more because it didnt involve keg stands and stupid sh!t like that.

I was invited to a New Years Eve Party, and I missed the ball drop because I had to deal with the fact that my friend who invited me had to go, which left me stuck with Rich (the guy we hate) who just randomly showed up, and was let in for some reason, and if dealing with Psychopath McGee wasn't fun enough, after he left, I had to go pick up the hosts roommate from Baltimore City because HE WAS WALKING AROUND AT NIGHT and got jumped. Yeah, did I mention he is an idiot? After managing to convince the host to not pack my car full of knives and weapons (which was difficult) and managing to get only two people to come with me (since I have a small car, and I was the only one with a car) we go over there, and he isn't hurt. He never was hurt. Then they wonder why I'm so pissed off, and this was before I had three Samurai swords put in my car on the drive back from one of the most dangerous parts of one of the most dangerous cities in the U.S. The best part is that I had two other parties I was invited to (not including my parents party) and I went to this one because I got the invitation first. So I hate parties. I had to leave because the host was fighting with his girlfriend. RRRRRRR Damn you Shawn, damn you and your crappy friends. (Maybe it's because Shawn has Aspergers, I dunno)

I'm glad I went last night. It was mostly family and mutual acquaintances, and they were so drunk they didn't care how stupid I acted. I drunk dialed a bunch of people, and it got kinda weird because I got into a real conversation, and I was on the phone for an hour in the middle of the party. My cousin asked if I was on a business call.

Parties are pointless rubbish.

If I know everyone that is going, I'll go. But if there are a lot of people I've never met or heard of, I probably won't.

If i ever go, I'll just smoke down. I hate drinking though.

I went to a New Years party, I arrived at 10 because I knew I wouldn't last more than 3 hours. I left around 11:45 and was walking home when the clock struck midnight.
My tolerance for social horsesh*t has decreased this past year and I refuse to partake in it for longer than what I'm comfortable with.

I like parties, but oftentimes I feel like being sober or not drinking at them. I live on a college campus, so when there's a party, there's stuff going on all over. Sometimes it's fun to have your own little private party, but not be in the actual room of sweaty dancing people.

Depends on the situation, but usually not. It almost always ends up with me sitting on the couch alone petting the cat or dog if they have one, or eating chips. I feel completely out of place and just wish I could go home (most frequently). Everyone moves from room to room and I'm expected to follow them for some reason and am perceived as odd for not wanting to chase people having convos I wasn't participating in around the house. That and everyone ends up going outside to smoke. I cant STAND cigarette smoke, ew.
