Signs

Sometimes the universe seems to be trying to tell you something. Just now, I think it is trying to tell me that I should never, ever go to parties. It does this by having me come into contact with puke every time I attempt to do a Wild And Crazy University Party thing. Honestly -- and it's getting worse each time. First with the accidental touching of it, then stepping in it and recoiling quickly, and then last night.
I am never, ever going to a shot party again. Because I never actually feel like getting off-my-brain drunk (four drinks is not blasted, but neither does it do anything more exciting than make me feel warm, dizzy, and slightly deaf). And then I am bored and surrounded by drunk people. The universe has said, "Jessica should go to movies with her sober friends, or bowling with her tipsy friends, but she should not hang around in basements with budding alcoholics bent on a bender." Jessica says, "OK, universe. Frankly, there's only so much time one can devote to laundry anyway, why make it worse by having to wash other people's bodily excretions out of one's clothing?"
Somewhere, generations of party-hearty undergrads are spinning in their graves. And you know what? If they're going to get their boxers in a twist about my renunciation of shot parties, keggers, etc, then they can do my laundry.

Hey I'm a sober friend that's asked you to hang out often enough and been flatly refused often enough so it's your own darn falt eh!! haha plus what did you expect a shot party to be anyway? intelligent conversation of a few drinks? Shots serve no other purpose than to get people, who have nothing better to do, drunk. Anyway, if you are ever looking to chill just give me a shout, you know how to find me.

All I was hoping for was good music and a party atmosphere... it was more a sort of grim determination surrounded by bottles.

Lesson learned. But that said, creme de cacao is delicious.

Agreed, that sucked. And once again i am sooo sorry about Lara. I will never be hosting a shot party again, and have learned that the more dependable people will be the ones puking, if no one else does. Mike has a point when he said what did you expect (my expectations were of more people and b. and L. not heading to my room so we could do some games, that and Justin not leaving 20min after arrival). I dont think i will mix drinkers and you again... it justs makes me look bad, and even worse when you remaiin sober (ie seeing me at my worst...not fun as i can imagine). once again, Ièm so sorry (Jacobès impression of drinking has just gone down... meh. As far as abandoning the party world entirely... i wouldnt decide that until your at least legal although the world does seem to be against you partying)
