The Party
I know i said i wouldn't post personal things here, but whoah, there was the craziest party i've seen in a long time last night, and the fact that it was at my apartment shouldn't keep it from being blogged about.
Now, i don't host too many parties (first one since being here in A2) but i must say that it was an amazingly fun success! First, Happy Birthday to Allison, for whom this party was for, and to Allison and Anne for planning and decorating and green-rice-crispy-making (not baking, as i was corrected by a friend). Secondly, to the cake bakers, srah and Maria. And thirdly, to all who came -- thank you :) All the food, fun, and excitement was created because of you.
Being a host apparently means everybody takes advantage of you -- in a good way of course. But let me preface this by saying that *as* a host, you have some extended privileges compared to others (in instigating such backlashes), so i guess it goes both ways. But getting squirted by rubber water-shooting frogs (especially down my back, thankyouverymuch), made to do back-to-back games (exact details withheld to protect the innocent), being tied to a chair and made to wear body glitter and lipstick and a flowery necklace, getting my shoes tied together (by the same frog-inserting srah), wrestling with others trying to steal my water-squirting frog, and assorted other rambunctions (is this a word?) were the craziest things i've done at an SI party... or probably any party in recent memory.
Maybe i will need one more party before my roommate returns next month ;)

Well, we apparently have such bad roads and sucky restaurants that we need to find something to do without leaving our houses... ;)
And yes T-bone ;) i guess you missed quite alot... you'll have to stay later for the next one, although i better not see anymore lipstick coming my way (that person knows who they are...) :)

hey - it was Allison's idea....

I would hereby like to have my participation recorded for posterity, as it was I who suggested the idea of MaTT in drag in the first place.
Three cheers for me! Hip hip...

Matthew, I am so dissappointed in you, you missed "Tuesday is Chooseday"

And I am disappointed because you never blog! Maybe you should broaden the focus of this page so you'll have more to blog about and can talk about your random musings on the self-awareness of plants as well as crazy stuff in Ann Arbor.

But i don't have random musings -- i need to be greatly inspired by something to independently write about it. That's why i like commenting on other people's blogs... they give little bits of inspiration that i can springboard from. And this is an occasional blog -- i'm starting a new sub-genre ;)
