House parties= Copious amounts of cheap booze, sometimes cheap entertainment, maybe a random hookup, but mostly cheap booze.child of lileth said:
Parties w/out booze= *looks at watch* oh, wow, is it that time already? I better go, I might miss Chris Ferguson.
Parties as a PC term for "rave"= wtf? 3 am already? No way! Agh! This is the last set! Is there an afterparty? wtf? Where did my ride go? Anyone seen a guy with neon green hair carrying a blue plush poodle? No? It was orange? Are you sure? Looked blue to me. Is this my shirt?
I'm a little surprised it took this long for that joke to get posted (unless I missed it or something).thethain said:
That's the kind of parties I always wanted to go to at least once. Just too see if they really are that crazy in real life. I'm just too terrified of a bunch of strangers on e to ever actually try going to one.unoleian said:
The strangest moment for me was randomly bumping into a hall-mate (and friend/study partner) from my freshman dorms who was dressed in black a spiked leather t-top and hot pants and was leading a giant bald guy at least twice his size and with twice as many spikes on his outfit around the dance-floor on a leash. Most surreal experience ever.child of lileth said:
Everyone should do it at least once. And don't fear the rolling ones. They are easily impressed. And easily distracted.
It's experiences like that, that make me want to try it. People always have stories that sound like the kind of thing you can never make up, and will never be able to forget. XDunoleian said:
Sometimes it's just fun to go bonkers with a bunch of friends. That and meeting new people can be fun.
LAN parties where everyone bring a 6-pack of energy drinks and see who has the fastest hand and eye? Bring it on!
"Regular" parties where everyone bring a 6-pack of Vodka, get shitfaced, do something stupid and wake up in a stranger's house the next morning with amnesia? Meh, not really my thing.

Gives me a chance to be a big queen and score drunken sex on a random person's lawn <.<
Well that only happened once o.o Then I got done in for trespassing.
I've grown up a bit since those heady days of high school n.n Buckled down ... got a decent job, I'm still studying so one day I can hopefully be a lecturer in a somewhat half decent university.
Personally I think it's lame how people can actually think being an introvert gives them some level of maturity or good grace. Its a load of fucking bullshit. Psychologically most introverts lack the ability to make short, easy work of socio-empathic connections ... which in otherwords makes them clueless around people.
Learning to be merry amongst others and deal with possible conflicts that may arise in social settings such as parties are a quintessential lifeskill. At parties you see people at their best (or possibly 'happiest' should be the proper term) and at their worst. Exposure to these makes a person better able to handle others, not worse.
I also dislike how people treat introversion (minus in some anomalous psychological cases) as something innate to their character ... no it's not, its just that you haven't made enough time for people and likewise they aren't likely to make time for you.

just to hang out with friends and some of my friends are wicked awesome when they get hammered
for instance we played the game endless ocean for the wii for 3 hours laughing it up because we found petting a penguin to be the hight of comedy
(for all those who dont know endless ocean is a game that teaches you about sea life i shit you not thats all there is)

It's fun when I have a few drinks in me and I'm not so hesitant to strike up random convos, but going out to parties usually ends up to be an interesting night. They make good stories if I can remember it all clearly.
Eh, me and my best friend do whole-night gaming sessions and watch animé, films, etc, and jut call them "parties". Not really parties, but I enjoy them far more than any real "party".
I dislike being with a large group of people at once, especially when I do not know some of them... makes me quite uncomfortable...
If they are all friends, I can tolerate being with a slightly larger group of people... although I won't talk much...

I don't understand. This is like asking if people enjoy sex, and if not, why not. A party is an event designed to give people a positive, enjoyable social experience; there can be such a thing as a bad party, and there can be such a thing as a person who never goes to parties and looks down on people who do in order to feel better about themselves, but I don't see who's disliking parties as a concept.
