curbdrop out of grace

winded but not dead

i have my sigur ros wind down music on. it's late, but i don't have to work tomorrow. vegas baby. hey jealousy.

so, the reason why the party was so great and that billy and i seriously need to go to these sort of functions more often is (dig this):

i went to two parties last saturday. party 1 was held by a coworker whom i like and filled with many coworkers that i like (15%) and dislike (10%) and am indifferent to (75%). yeah fuckers, count on your fingers i did the math right.

and anyway, the party was great in the sense it's a house party and i know so many people there. i dragged johnny with me to a place he didn't know anyone besides myself really. i think he had a good time as he drank his fare share of beer that we paid for (fucking michigan state style rules of having to purchase cups). but i left him to fend for his own for some time and when i found him again, he said some girls that were cute and single totally digged him.

johnny man, we should have stayed at that party a little longer just so you could talk to those girls a little longer.

party 2 was held by joe's ex-housemate, matt, who is a good guy. he, along with basically everyone at the party, likes a lot of good indie rock music. i used to play poker with matt quite a bit. anyway, it was his housewarming party. oh party 1 was also a housewarming party. moving on, so the people at the second party, although i didn't know almost any of them, were super friendly and chill. not that the first party didn't have friendly people as well, but it was different.

this is how the people are different (i will describe in multiple ways).

1. party people 1 were nice, but boring but friendly vs. party people 2 were nice, interesting and friendly
part of this statement has to take into account you natually assume interesting people are less friendly because many times, interesting people are very complicated and deep with emotional/mental crap and the works. yes this is really an assumption, but i think most people sort of subconsciously believe this.

2. party people 1 don't smoke vs party people 2 smoke. now when i say this, we'll just stick with the legal definitions. but even with that limitation, i think 3 out of 50 people at party 1 smoke cigs. and i think everyone at party 2 smoke.

now i'm not saying i'm promoting cigarettes, but really, it takes a different type of person to smoke. not saying all people who smoke are great or have good reasons or stories that have led them "astray" but it really is a different mentality.

and don't even get me started about the illegal definition.

3. people at party 1 are predictable vs. people at party 2 are spontaneous. this sort of goes with the intersting part mentioned in exhibit 1. but it's different because i am taking out the factor of friendliness. people at party 1 stood around and watched ncaa basketball. in quoting cheeves "NCAA brackets are really for people who own more than 6 baseball caps."

do you understand?

people at party 2, well although i didn't get a great picture at all of what transpired, but we were sitting around drinking when little ceasar's man (pizza pizza/terradactyl terradactyl) busted in the door. it was awesome.

4. girls. party 1 contained undatable girls (for someone like me) whereas party 2 had unlimited potential. again, we should have stayed at that party longer to talk to girls longer. make no mistake my friends. whenever i go out, whether to work, to a bar, to my friends' house to chill or party, to the grocery store, or to the graveyard, i am HOPING the day is my lucky day and i will meet a girl and hit it off from the get go. it's happened before. maybe it'll happen again?

this especially holds true for parties. especially for house parties. i mean, this is it. i'm NOT going to meet a girl at the bar. not that there aren't quality ones out there, but not at the bars i'm going to. plus my best qualities just don't shine in bars. how am i to compete. so house parties are it. and if i have to choose to go to one or another, girls become really a huge factor, if not number one.
