Re: Parties
I find it amusing that this thread pops up given the way I spent my evening. Invited a friend to come hang out for the first time with some other friends of mine (whom she knew, but just never in a wholly social capacity) and her mother kept fearing that we were all going to get drunk and she was to take my keys if that were the case and just overprotective mom stuff and all we did was sit around, eat snacks, and play Arkham Horror. She even told her mother "Mom, we're a bunch of nerds. We're not going to be getting drunk," which, when she related this to me and my other friend turned into a discussion on how to turn AH *into* a drinking game and the fact that Copper likes to be the sober one at parties to make fun of all the drunks.
So, yeah, parties? Not so much. Picnics, movie nights, game nights, LAN parties, yes. Drunken revelry? Pass.
