"This party's over."

lumy12Actually went to a real-life party yesterday. Actually had quite a good time too! It was an open house, so people were just dropping in and out all day. I knew probably about half the people there at any given time. I arrived just after 2pm and was teased because I wasn't hungry (I'm usually always up for free food).
"How about some jello? There's always room for jello!" says the host. I eye the little jello cups skeptically. "Is there alcohol in there?" He says with a straight face, "No!" Not that I really cared - tried to eat it with my tongue but some kind person eventually brought me a fork. Punched host for lying about the alcohol. Proceeded to have at least 10 more over the next few hours! So I was feeling pretty good. NOT my fault, this one guy kept bringing me more (not just me, he was trying to get everyone drunk, apparently). This guy later came and sat by me on the swing thing - which wasn't exactly a love seat, it seats 2 people but with a table-y type thing in between the seats. Now, let me just say, he's 49, and was there with his wife, who I knew from work before she quit a few months ago. He wasn't being pervy. But for some reason he took an interest in the fact that I chose to go sit on this swing, though others had done so without attracting any attention. He started psychoanalyzing it and making me out to be some kind of afraid-of-life person who didn't want to mingle with the others. Um, dude, NO, I was chatting with all the people I know earlier, and some I don't know, and still participating in the discussions somewhat from my seat away from the main table of the patio. I'm really not that much of a party person, I prefer smaller groups or one-on-one interaction with friends.
I failed at getting people to play truth or dare, and at getting a couple of the hot gay men to do body shots off each other. I am also now really curious as to what exactly it means to have different colored hankies hanging out of your pocket - apparently if you're a gay male, straight people don't do this? No one would tell me specifics, I just know they're dirty. Teehee.
Things were winding down a bit in the evening and the only ones left were the ones who wanted to play Texas Hold 'em. I was buzzed so I figured I should hang out for a little bit more, though I'm no poker player. I called my bro, a huge poker fanatic, and he came over! Yay! I switched from jello shots to champagne and also had a couple shots of tequila rose, which I had never heard of before - totally doesn't taste like tequila. Very sweet and yummy.
Anyway, I didn't do too badly at poker, only cuz I had some help from the host and my bro. Honestly, my betting was pretty erratic due to not noticing the times when I had, say, a straight in my hand and should have bet more aggressively. I blame the alcohol! Oh and the cards all contained pics of hot nude men, and we drank out of penis straws. Fun times! (except my bro, who was a good sport, and not the only straight guy at the table but the other straight guy sure was acting as if he's at least bi, heh)
Conclusion: gay men throw the best parties. They even sent us home with food! Yummy homemade scrumptuous food!
Now, on goals... resolutions, whatever... *sigh* I just can't make up my mind about so many things.
I want to spend less time on the computer. I also want to spend MORE time on the computer, specifically LJ, being more active in the communities I enjoy. So many of the communities on my f-list are inactive, sadly, but I don't leave them because, well, why bother? Occasionally there may be a fun post in 'em. I have, for now, given up on the desire to learn how to make icons. I'll happily keep swiping cool ones from people who already know what they're doing.
I want to read more Star Wars books. I also want to re-read the whole Harry Potter series and the Star Wars books I already own. I'm a huge fan of re-reading, probably due to my terrible memory. But when do I have time to even read magazines I subscribe to anymore?
I want to take more bubble baths. This goes along with above-mentioned reading. My former bubble-bath time has been usurped by computer time, though, and I want to spend more time on the computer?
I want to participate more at HiH. Write something besides RP, and definitely get back into sketching things. (I've all but given up on ever painting again - though watching "The Notebook" last weekend totally made me want to pull out the easel again) I have some ideas from a month or so ago that I still haven't put to paper (sketch-wise, not story-wise). Really, this goal isn't conflicting, because sketching gets me off the computer, just have to go on to scan it and post it when I'm done.
I want to play the piano more. I should be setting aside "lesson time" because really, how can I expect to be good if I only play every few months? Poor unused piano. It needs a tune-up too. Should do that this year.
I've neglected my Avon business, but meh - who needs money? I'm still very much committed to the customers I already have, just am extremely lazy about finding new ones and growing it. Why? Mainly because it takes me away from the computer. I'd rather talk to people online than in person, esp. people I don't know. I don't have any goals here except to update my customers' order history which is now a huge daunting task because I haven't done so since... October, I think? And 4th quarter is always the busiest. So I want to stay more on top of it, not let it build up into this Huge Icky Task of Doom.
Okay, less online time is potentially good - but what good is it if I fill that time with playing PlayStation2 now that my bro finally fixed it, yay!! We played Star Wars Battlefront 2 for a bit last night after the party, but I didn't last very long, the alcohol caught up to me, I guess. I went to bed at 12:30 and fell asleep in like 2 seconds, proceeded to sleep 10 hours! Oy! What a waste of time sleeping is when there's so much fun stuff to do while awake. I have no idea how late he stayed up playing it solo as he's still asleep right now. I also want to do the RotS game again, on normal-mode this time. Oooooo we have to duel on there too, it's been so long! Yay PlayStation 2!!!!
I finally broke down and bought the Sims 2. Haven't downloaded it yet though - am very afraid of getting sucked in. Damn you,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sleuthgirl27!!!
I want to watch Lost. Somehow make the time to watch every single episode ever and see what I've been missing.
I haven't been watching enough Star Wars lately. When is there time????
Need to resolve things with A. one way or the other. Still reluctant to do that given his current situation (his mom is doing much better though now, by the way).
Why oh WHY am I even thinking about playing another character at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
omg_lightsaber??? Amber says it wouldn't make me be online more, that I would just divide my online RP time between the 2. I DOUBT IT. I know myself!!! Damn, the crack is so fun but... well... look at all this stuff on my agenda already?
There really needs to be more hours in the day. I haven't even mentioned my "normal" goals like not slacking at work, losing weight, flossing more, keeping in better touch with RL friends... meh. I'm tired of babbling about myself now. You get the idea. Thanks for reading if you made it through this long-ass entry!
I should not be on here when there are Christmas lights begging to be taken down. But jeez, that's no fun. My roof is so high I need to use this pole/hook thingie to do it from near the top of my ladder at one point. I'm not fond of ladders. Anyone wanna come over and do it for me? Don't worry if it takes you a couple days to get here, they'll probably still be up waiting for you!
