Ah, so school dances suck too, huh? So I suppose I won't be missing out on too much by missing Prom or something like that?
Oh no, I haven't been to a high school prom yet - so I can't judge there either
I was talking about my experiences with middle school/9th grade dances; I was the one who didn't go or just walked around with the flashy lights shining in the gym.
The 8th grade end-of-year one for the ones going into high school wasn't bad either - I was with a few acquaintances and they made it great!
I heard "Prom" and such were nice, so even if you don't know about it, go there just to see how it is after a few hours or so.
But if you don't like it you can leave whenever you like. :awesome:

I don't mean to offend you kitae, but your mother sounds like an ass.
You don't know me very well, nor have you been reading my threads if you believe you can offend me by saying that.
My mom is my greatest opponent.

Hence why I never go to parties. I hate rap/rave/any modern noise (it definitely isn't music), dancing is boring, and dirty dancing is just tasteless. Don't care to drink or get high and don't really want to bang any random hoes. Now formal parties and such are a blast to me, nice food and intelligent conversation beat doucebags and booze any day.

Also in all parties: don't be filthy, clean after yourself :infract:
Don't leave your trash around - someone will have to pick that up later.
Don't believe or act on anything just because your friends/peers say so, they can be wrong.
For the more presumptuous parties:
Keep your wits about you, especially in that kind of pressuring environment.
Don't drink or eat anything that would affect your ability to think.
You'll do fine if you stay away from the bad influences :wink:

Nah, I've been through a number of examples to see that you're against her â–“â–“ - that's just one the first times I've said that, so I used it as a precaution, since I can never say 100% that I know another's point of view.

I need to find people who'll host parties like Kitae's.
I don't like parties. I can't decide which I dislike more, parties with people getting drunk/high/laid, or a bunch of people sitting around awkwardly, maybe watching a movie and clustered in little groups based on who's going out with who.
I would love to do a LAN party or something. But I don't do parties, not really.
I enjoy formal events, as long as there's no dancing involved. Especially if the food is great.

I called it a party, but it usually stays 6 or less people. So its more of an umm... "gathering" of sorts.
Usually when I hang out its only 1 or 2 friends at one time, so anything more than 4 people I consider a small party.
I never liked crowding, so the biggest party I ever actually stuck around to enjoy was around 20 people. And that was enough to make me feel uncomfortable. Of course birthday parties tend to be around 10~20 in my experiences too.
And at this point a LAN party gets a lot simpler in that most people are not lugging around huge desktops but just simple gaming laptops. Plus most people have wireless internet nowadays. Its much easier to get set up than it used to be. Just invite about 5 or so friends over to all play Starcraft 2 or League of Legends or Counter Strike or something like that. Technically not even a "LAN" party anymore.
Once we had about 6 of us get together and eat at Buffalo Wild Wings. After eating we intended to go to the casino or something (had no real plans), and we all went to the parking lot to figure out what to do. We ended up standing there for about 3 hours talking about random things in our lives and laughing through most of it. The whole time we were like "so shouldn't we go do something?" but that turned out really fun and enjoyable too.

Heh, I don't play any of those games. Crappy netbook.
But yeah, I like "gatherings" I guess. Unless everybody else is being sucktastic and wants a "bigger" party.

My friends don't like that. Gets too wild.
I once invited 4 of my friends over to my house because my mom was out for the week (otherwise I would never actually invite people to my place).
And the one of them decided to bring his friend.
^ I'm okay with this, but NEVER without my consult. No. If one person is allowed to bring a friend without asking, then another one will, and another one will, and then I'll need to call the cops before I can stop it.

Absolutely.
I ****ing hate it when people invite other people (and they're usually people I don't even know).
In the beginning (before they come over) and they ask, i'm cool with it.
By the time we get started, i'm just annoyed.
Am I just not cool enough, and you need to invite somebody else? Just say no and don't come over, goddamn.

My experiences:
[spoiler]Most of the parties I went to are family parties. The ones where it's a celebration of an event, like a birthday party, a congratulations party, a wedding reception party, etc.
And usually, that's what I think of when someone asks me what a normal party is like. Just a big event, maybe have some food lying around on a table before said event...
Event happens, lots of cheerful music and emotions burst.
Then we all prepare or go straight to the big meal of the party. Everybody gathers around the big dinner table, and we all talk and laugh while eating. Down-to-earth and comfortable talk. Lots of joking around.
After that, we either hang around the table and just keep a conversation going, which could take hours before it ends. Or we do something, like watch a movie or sports game. Or play a game. Something to ease us off the food comfortably before calling it a day and go home.[/spoiler]
[spoiler]I've been to friends' parties too. Most are usually movie parties, with food thrown into the middle of the party. Then conversation before we go home.
I've been to a swimming party. That was awesome. We didn't just stop the party once the swimming was done either.
I've been to a gaming party, and that started out with a game of pictionary. Multiplayer video games afterwards, then we watched a movie so that when it ends, everybody can go home at once instead of "trickle" one at a time. And I understand that, since trickling can be an awkward way to end a party, so my advice on that is to go out with a bang. I still remember how fun that pictionary game was, since it was with custom terms that was suited for me and my friends' age group... which were 18+ years of age, so we had lots of 90s, internet memes, video gaming culture, and adult content :whisper: on those cards.
I've been to only one LAN party, once. Quake III Arena party. It was great, with packs of Mountain Dew and boxes of pizzas. It was a planned wager (a tournament basically), and entry wager was $5. First hour was dedicated to casual quickplay/warm-up, while the next was the tourney. Winner walked home with $120 (that's right, there were 24 entrants in that tourney). Semifinals and finals were projected onto large projector boards. It was epic, and easily an incentive for people to stay in a party and a way to end a (LAN) party.[/spoiler]

I might try a LAN party someday, but I feel it would be easier to do if I was in college.

I don't. They're all douchebags.
Well, I love my uncle (my dad's older brother). He's a very loving and caring guy, and he's an amazing BOSS.
So much class. The type of person I aspire to be. He's a lot less sociably awkward than my dad too, which is something I unfortunate get from him.
I hate his wife though. Condescending, and really hates me. She's not afraid to hide it too.

Most of the time, if I do go to a party, it just ends up me playing drinking games with a few people at the party, and then doing random ****.
