Wow man...

Well, it is 3am and everyone from the party is gone.
Here's who came:

kindofblue328 Who was a first time gathering-er. He ate the vegan food, and was a delight to see.

klynnfrost Who is kind of like my hero, plus she brought a cool card.

lickingtoad Too clever for me to intimidate. Also a very cromulent wordsmith. It was swell to see him.

pak_man78 Who drove in from out of town, AND got me Devils Rejects, but forgot it. And I see far too little of him.

slapnticklejr Who was really funny and had a camera with him. Also gave me a cool card.

smarbaby Made me a card I can ebay someday for a google of dollars; if I'm ever so hard up I have to start selling off my things. Plus she brought yummy brownies.

sudrin Who drove in from even farther than Paul and got me gifts so cool I don't want to say what they are because you would all be jealous. Okay, it was the first seaon of LOST and the souped up version of Batman Begins. Plus it was awesome to see him.

uterdic Who made his second appearance at a

wednes birthday party. He has a utility belt.

We had a very fun time, and did all the usual debauchery with one exception. I often smoke weed at these parties, and all five (that's right kids, FIVE) hookups turned sour on me. One of my best friends even called to yell at me because he didn't get weed and then didn't come to my party.
I know... what a dick!

I must say honestly, that because I invited people to my shindig over a month ago, and 2/3 of them didn't show up, I'm bummed. It makes me suspect that I have become less likeable or something. But maybe more people are all just selfish jerkasses than I originally realized. I don't have parties very often anymore, and I miss them. I also had it a week early so as not to interfere with the holiday, to basically no avail.

And FYI to the guy who said he'd be stopping by after the movie: Everyone waited around for you and you didn't even bother to call. So thanks for that.

Anyway, I'm sure it goes without saying that it hurts people's feelings when people don't come to their parties.

I wonder what it says about me that I'm more bummed that 12 or so people didn't come, than I feel happy for the people who did show up. We did have a fun time, I just feel like people don't care so much these days. Oh well. I am 35, maybe I should just get over it or something.

I just feel very sober and very sad. But then, I'm very old and not very successful.

wow, wednes, you hop on live journal pretty swiftly!!! I am home now, still drunk from vodka and o.j.! It was easy gettin home! I loved the party, I love all you mo fo's, ahahaha. Im always down to chill with y'all. It was a blast, and your vegan cookery is some dope shit...!

Oh how I love being a dharma bum like kerouac, hahahaha!

I was really glad that you made it. I enjoyed your company. Please consider yourself on my invite list from now on...unless you somehow disgrace yourself or have sex in my bathroom (ask K or D).

what, you want me to have sex in the bathroom with K and D! hahaha

Me, disgrace myself, never!!!hahaha

one more thing to say, for the people who didn't show up...unless there was some die hard reason to miss, y'all missed a fun ass time. Your loss, we are just to insane to miss...

oo the first season of lost! nice score--let me know what you think of the extra's it has (which ive no clue of, but im sure it has some! hehe).

a bit pbbt to those who didn't show! especially when there's people like me who would most definitely had been there if i lived more than a million miles away. and you know i would have brought the you-know-what to make your birthday that much special! hehe :)

I would have been there with treats, too, if it wasn't such a damned long drive.

I'm sorry I couldn't stay later, but I was wiped out. I had a great time and if it makes you feel any better.. I pretty much JUST got up. You put on great parties with cool people! Thanks for inviting me! See you for Harry Potter!

It is natural to feel hurt when people don't come to your parties. I think that stems back to childhood. Maybe next time you have a party, I'll come. If it's pregnant friendly :) Or maybe if you have a kick ass summer party next year and we can feel not-so-sober together.

You should definitely not internalize this.

I've organized plenty of things that had low turn-outs, and it was tempting to see it as a reflection of me, but in reality, people had legitimate reasons for missing and made it out some other time. I've too often had to RSVP in the negative to people I would absolutely love to spend time around.

But yes, the ones who didn't bother to call or said they were on their way and didn't show up should be feeling bad this morning--not you!

I di know this.

thanks man.

There are SEVEN discs for the first season of LOST. More flashbacks, season preview, and of course, commentary up the yang.

I hear ya! and thanks!

Dude, I totally understand. It was so cool to see you.

We are hitting the matinee tomorrow, probably somewhere in the 1pm area, I will be speaking to Cindy today to find out for sure and will phone you with details.

That would be cool.

I won't be having another party for a good long time because they are expensive. I also feel less obligated to host parties for my buddies like I usually do.

But I'm sure this feeling won't last long, since I love throwing parties.

I really appreciate that.

I guess in some way its quite egotistical to assume people didn't show up because they hate me. Not everything is about me, I guess. I was especailly bummed because parties are expensive and I cooked considerably more than was neccessary. So it was a wallet hit as well at a time when I have very little tolerance for fancy spending...particularly when I'm trying to shop for Christmas.

Oh Wednesday! I had kind of a crappy birthday this year too. It sounds like yours was much better though. All your good friends came out. Your real birthday isn't until the 24th though right? Happy birthday girl! Don't be sad about jerks who didn't show. It could be any number of reasons why they didn't come. When I was a kid I remember I had a birthday party and no one came. I took it personally. Having a birthday in the summer sucks because everyone is out of town. People are busy around this time of year too with the holidays. Also, I can't imagine the weather is MI is too great to get around in right now either.

You're awesome and 35 is the new 25 dammit!!!

"You're awesome and 35 is the new 25 dammit!!! "

Ha! That's totally true.
Thank you for your kind words; I do suspect that some people were just being dicks. Others, I think, see me so often that the party just was not so important to them.

I think I'm just moody because there's no pot around here and I'm not practiced in being sad without it.

It was, without at doubt, THE MOST WHIMSICAL JIG OF THE SEASON!!! I'll get you your gift ASAP...and sorry about forgetting everything that I was supposed to bring. Probably inhaling too many chemicals at work :)

I wish I was whacked from inhaling...no such luck.

I am, however, seeing Harry Potter again tomorrow. If you're not working, it's the 3pm @ Showcase.

Hey Everyone From the Party,

First of all, if you haven't, add me to your friend list. Second, I've never really been into comics, but I saw Batman Begins today, and it is the greatest movie I have ever seen...makes me want to get into comics!

Smarbaby, I completely understand what you meant about this showing a realistic hero!

What I love about the movie is the social-political message(seems very socialist), the philosophy (a lot of it Buddhist, at least in the beginning) in the dialogue, is it just me, or did you notice this? I am going to buy it soon as I have a chance.

Just thought I'd let ya know, can't wait til the next party.

I see you've been filled in as to the older events that have happened when we all get together, eh?

That was my bathroom and if it wasn't me in there, it wasn't going to be anyone.

You have been added to my friends list. I was just telling Smarbaby how I enjoyed meeting you last night. You seem like good people.

Sincerely,
Bruce Wayne

So here's how you do it. You move away, but stay in touch, by email, LJ, phone..whatever. So THEN when you actually come in town and say 'oh look guys I'm here for 3 days everyone come see me for a party' they all rush over.

I swear it works.

Then again, I guess you could fake moving away and then just 'appear' for 'visits' a few times a year.

I wish I could have been there. My ex-wife surprised me by teling me my son was in town. I didn't expect to see him until next weekend.

I do feel bad. Wednes rocks! All of my "madstoner" friends are the best friends I've ever had as a group.

"You seem like good people"

wow! you acknowledge his multiple personalities and that doesn't scare you off?

I have multiple personalities? He has multiple personalities? Todd has multiple personalities? hahaha

Recluse by day, Hero by night!

I once threw a party while my mom was in town, and I got a keg, and only 12 people showed up. So not only did my mom think I had no friends, but the two of us felt obligated to drink all the beer, you know, to get my money's worth. Drunk moms are fun and all, but it was hard not to feel slighted. Now I make everything a "some beverage and snacks will be provided but FEEL FREE to add to the pile and that means YOU, you freeloader" party, so as not to bruise the wallet. Not bruising the ego, though, that's tougher. I like to use a technique in which I assure myself it WASN'T me. "I bet they were involved in a hockey fight and had to sit in the pentaly box and missed the bus. I hope they didn't lose any teeth." I also use this when guys don't seem interested in me. I'm all, "He is SO gay," or "Wow, you must be an incredibly faithful husband to not ask for my number. What? You're not married? What? It's loud in here, I can't hear you! Say hello to your wife for me! She's so lucky!"
I love you and I am glad you are one year more on the planet. I'm coming to MI for a few days for Christmas, but I'll prolly have to catch you in March during my X-TheMitten Tour.

OK, I can't take it any longer, we need another party wednes, stat! I can bring the food and liquor! Hurry, depression is consuming me...need....fun, uhhhhhh!

Thanks so much, man. You are the coolest.

I'm in touch with far too few Alpha E's anymore. I don't know why, as I'm really easy to find and reach. It's too bad we don't have that main site with the contact info anymore. Gayla was doing such a good job with that for awhile.

Oh, and I will clear the entire month of March for you. ;-)
Let me know when you're coming.
