I really wish parties were fun. Every time I go to one, on my way there I'm thinking "Oh, this is going to be awesome!" and then I come to my senses. I walk in the door and the lights are so low you can barely see the kid in front of you. Rap music is blaring so loud you wonder why your ears haven't run away yet. And then you notice the middle of the room, where people are essentially having sex on the dance floor.

Wooh. Fun.

I long for the decades past when parties meant masquerades and balls, or swing dancing until your legs collapsed from exhaustion, or heck just a few friends laughing and having a good time! But then there are these........"parties" (I use that word very loosely).

Now, even if you get away from the dark room that smells like pot, the dance floor that could probably count as foreplay, and the music screaming at you until you have a headache, there is still the problem of the people. The sheer quantity of bodies packed into one area for a "party" is spectacular. You wonder how people do it. And its almost impossible to insert yourself into a conversation without being extremely awkward. You feel like an outcast. Aren't parties supposed to be fun?

So, sane people of the world, deep people of the world, fed up people of the world, revolt! Start throwing actual parties! Murder-mysteries, masquerades, luaus, think about it! We need to change the paradigm that so many people have in this day and age of parties. We will NOT stand by and watch our fun go down with "shawty".
