House Party Gone Wild

This weekend I went to my first house party with a keg, of root beer that is, and a live DJ.  I've never been much of a party girl. Even in college I didn't really party. I was too busy studying and trying to get outta there as fast as I could. That is one of my regrets, not spending time and having fun during my college days. Now that I'm single I'm going to catch up on partying, well, sort of.  I did the club scene for a bit, but never liked it much. I don't drink so hanging out with drunk people really bugs me.  Like my other day's blog, there will be balance. I'm not going to be in the next "girls gone wild" video. 

What kind of partying can non-drinker do. Apparently go to Root Beer Keggers. I've never heard of such a thing. I was surprised to see a house packed with upwards of 150 people all getting down on Root beer.  Granted it wasn't "Girls Gone Wild." On the other hand I left early so maybe later on the girls got on the tables and started flashing everyone and people started skinny dipping in the pool. But, as far as when I was there it was just a lot of people dancing around and bikini clad girls in the pool.  Nothing scandals. The police did show up around 10 to tell us to close the windows and to clear out the house a bit due to fire code. At least that is what I heard, I wasn't in the front room when they showed up.

Being new to the house party scene, wasn't sure what to expect. I have seen my share of  movies about house parties so I am going to assume they are just like the movies where girls and guys go to parties hoping to hook up.  Being a cautious and private person I'm not sure how this will work for me. I'm not one to give out my number to any random person, especially a guy.  So, if I do meet a hottie, what do I do? If I get his number and then call him, he'll have my number.  It's a total Catch-22. 


I'm thinking that all guys should come with papers. Seriously, wouldn't that be so great.  This way you'll get references and know if you should hightail it or not. Either that or all creeps should have a fat red stamp on their head that says "Creep." I'm thinking I may just be safer dating friends of friends. This way they will only break your heart vs. leave you lying in a ditch.  How am I going to date friends of friends with out upsetting the eco system?  This will be  the ultimate challenge.

Back to the party. The main event of the evening was dancing. I danced a little, but it was awkward.  I tried dancing with this group or that, but I just wasn't feeling it.  Then thinking about it, I'm not a touchy feely person so I wouldn't want a random guy getting all up all on me. And if I do know him, it would be from church and it would be so awkward if he's the guy who acts all preachy at church. I'd be thinking I really don't know you, do I? I know we all show a more spiritual side of ourselves at church, but I don't try to come across as holier-than-thou. If you see me in church I make sure I dress appropriate as one should when they enter the house of the lord, on the other hand I don't dress one way at church and dress totally skanky when I'm not at church. I'm a casual dresser and dress for the occasion. When you talk to me in church and really pay attention you will know I'm not putting up a front, I'll tell you like it is, I don't play games and I am who I am.  My jokes are no more off color when you are with me alone then when I'm at church. On the other hand there are some topics that are appropriate and aren't appropriate to discuss in church.

Back to dancing. When I go to church dances vs clubs I do dance a bit different when it comes to dancing with members of the opposite sex, depending on who I'm with and if they can dance and if we can actually dance together. I don't frequent clubs on a regular basis, but I occasionally like to get down with the right music and the right people.
