Social behavior
I love the end of the semester. Technically I still have one week left, but for all intents and purposes I am done, done, done.
Which is why I felt no guilt for going to the holiday party last night.
And whoever suggested Jell-O shots for my contribution to the party is a freaking genius. I did decide to take shots, and to be festive I used strawberry and lime Jell-O. I then set up a Christmas-themed display, placing the shots to make a Christmas tree. It’s all about presentation. The shots didn’t even last five minutes, and they were the first thing gone at the party. You haven’t lived until you’ve seen faculty taking Jell-O shots.
Some lessons learned from last night:
1) As much as everyone enjoys swing dancing, that particular type of dancing does not work with every type of music. Who swing dances to disco? Two people at this party, apparently.
2) Some people own the Jackson 5 on CD. And these people just might be my heroes.
3) Vodka + wine + gin does not make me sick. Good to know.
4) If you don’t want to dance, don’t walk through the pseudo-dance floor on your way to the bathroom. Fellow students will grab you, pick you up, and swing you around against your will.
5) You should always, always, always take an Elvis CD with you to parties. Just in case.
Good times.

I own Jackson 5 on tape. I may not be your hero, but I am a bad-ass.
Jackson 5 on cassette? That might be hero-worthy.
I have the "Saved By the Bell" soundtrack on cassette.
Oh yes. I do.
You forgot the most important part, ... your dear friend Maryanne's inability to breath because she was laughing so hard at someone being flipped off. Not with one finger, or even with only two fingers, but with a third appendage ... and by whom? None other than the host himself! ... oh dear, laughing again ...
Yeah, there's no appropriate response to that. At least no appropriate female response.
