Early 4th Party Games

i don't know if it's a real condition, but i suffer from that thing Josh Hartnett talked about in Lucky Number Sleven (i can't remember what it's called and i don't feel like ganking the movie online right now). just watch the first 3rd of the movie (netflick it or something). he explains it to Lucy Lui (most stuff just doesn't bother me-point).


it is a bit of an exaduration. but i just don't mind making a fool of myself sometimes (imma clumsy oaf at times-can't help it-gottta use what i got).

that being said-when i get bored-especially in situations that seem like they're supposed to work out a certain way-i don't mind stiring the pot (i'm an instigator).

my friends in DC are a lot more subdued and composed all the time. at parties people are supposed to talk to people they don't know and meet people they may eventually not get along w/. (rambling again-just wanted to give a bit of background).

. . .

i like facilitating motion in a party. i come up with games to meet people and help other people meet each other (if i end up being the guy that everyone is talking about, doing that weird thing that no one else gets-at least everyone is getting engaged and meeting new people-the point of getting off the couch)

. . .

i went to an early 4th of July celebration about a day ago and i felt like i was in a middle school dance. all the single girls were sitting next to each other on a couch-all the single guys were in the kitchen-everyone was talking to people they already new.

i was getting bored fast-cause i knew 1 or 2 people and they were distracted. so i came up with a game i could play by myself that involved everyone in the party-after pulling off an Omarion move from his Icebox days in the middle of the living room (proud to say i got a few ooo's and ahhh's).

-learn and remember everyones' name in the party that i've met and forgotten or never met b4-
the party involved alcohol, so this seemed to be the most interesting way to 'stir the pot.'

i started in the kitchen. if i didn't know the guys name-it was brian. if i didn't know the girls name it was-chickadee (bad idea because a few of the girls were femmanists and i've been chewed out multiple times for saying chick).

regardless, everytime i saw someone being bored or boring-i tested myself on the names that i remembered. i told brian to ask chickadee her name for me whether i actually forgot it or not. i had 15 names memorized b4 the night ended in a bar called wonderland-that was the name of the bar, seriously.

at least 2 people gave me fake names more than once. i was reminded 'we'll probably never see each other again-u don't have to remember my name' again and again.-the game was too fun and everyone else seemed so much less boring and cut-off from each other the more i 'stirred the pot.'

passed out on my friend's couch-be responsible-i was just sleepy.

games are fun-point

maybe i'll let someone else in on the gag tonight-this party is supposed to be ritzy.

untill i can get to a computer and rant . . . l8r.
