wolven7Carmina Burana - [O Fortuna-Fortune Plango Vlunera]--- So, the party was last night, and it has driven home a few realisations. (Throwing Muses - [Snakeface]). Realisation the first: Not everyone i know enjoys the same types of parties. On a sub conscious level, i've known this, for a very long time. In that vein, i've always tried to make my parties a bastion of diversity, and fun, for all. I hate sectioning off things, but if that's what needs to happen, to keep people happy, then it's done. Hence why i told the people who didn't want to go on the back porch, that they didn't want to go on the back porch. This said, things don't always go as planned.
Realisation the second: In liking different types of parties, the various people i know are going to want/need to interact differently At these parties. (Jack Off Jill - [Surgery]). Some people want to sit around and play video games, all night, while others may want to watch a movie, play a game, or have a converstaion. Whatever. I'm working on accepting the fact of this, and, again, i try to accomodate that. Bits and pieces of the house, dedicated to various activities... But, even still... Things don't always go as planned.
Realisation/Understanding/Thing i'm trying to Drill into my awareness, the Third: Not all of my friends like each other. In fact, some of my friends out and out Hate each other, and their surrounding human accoutriments. I understand this, i now that it is true, and that it is the way things Are, but i certainly don't fucking Like it. (C-Tec - [Foetal]). People get annoyed, with each other, yes, and that's all well and good, and people can't stand the sight of each other, yes, but goddamn. It's a party. With all the other shit i've talked about, you'd think that people could at least be civil. And that goes for everyone. There's a level of things... past which? Well, it gets bad.
There's the fact that a lot of people had a lot to drink, and a lot of people had a lot on their minds. Drinking to forget, drinking to let go. Catharsis is one thing.
And then there's the... Attitudes of everyone, the next day. (OhGr - [Lusid]). The "Oh my god, what did I do/watch/Make happen/Drink/Vomit upon," &c. The remorse aspect. I'm rather tired of the remorse aspect. A basic philosophy of "If you don't want to do it, then don't, and if you Do, then accept the consequences," can save a whole lot of trouble, for people. Monitoring yourself, what you're doing, with whom, and why. All of those are really good things. On the other hand: People like the things they do. They enjoy them. If you don't, then don't join in, or watch, or worry about it. There's no need for the amout of aftermath drama-- which brings me to
Rasputina - [Watch T.V.]--- Realisation Vierte: People enjoy drama. People like the screaming, the ranting, the crying, the bitching, the moaning, the sleeping with people{[,]} the{[y]} "Didn't want to, but did, anyway, cause they were drunk." Right. People love it, because it gives them something to bitch about, something to pull focus off of them, and their lives. Something to make someone else the bad guy, and something to get rid of banality, in their lives. No matter how much people say they hate it-- and, consciously, they may-- there is a love of drama.
Kate Bush - [Brazil]--- But it's something that can be risen above. It's something that can take a back seat to responsibly enjoying one's self, and so on... But, you know what? I'm tired of focusing on the bad aspects.
Emmet Swimming - [Arlington]--- Many people had a damn fine time last night, wandering around, talking to people they hadn't seen in a very long time, and playing video games, and dancing, or whatever the hell they did. For the record, i didn't lick off of {anyone}, nor have licked off of me, Marshmallow Cream, though i did facilitate others to do so, if they so wished, and some did. They enjoyed themselves, as well. I had two stolen drags, from cigarettes, one at around midnight, and one at around three. There may have been another, but i'm pretty sure there wasn't. (Kate Bush - [Army Dreamers]). People got to meet new people, and have new experiences, and i got to say happy birthday to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
damnedsaint, As it became his birthday. So that was awesome.
We drank shots to those who could{n't} be there, for whatever reasons, and we kept them in our minds and hearts. All night, for some of us, five minutes, for others. But hey... It was a party.
Some people had fun, others didn't. (Voltaire - [All the Way Down]). Some people had fun, and then didn't have fun, later, and some didn't have fun, and then began to enjoy themselves. It could have been much worse. And it definately could have been better. Over all, though? It was a Party.
I'm going to go watch "Rules of Attraction." Later.
{Today your spiritual side could take over, WOLVEN. You'll be in the mood to contemplate the meaning of life. The good thing is, today is the sort of day where you just might figure it out! You'll feel a sense of divine inspiration take over. You might have a psychic flash, a vivid dream, or a moment when you sense the presence of a guardian angel. Enjoy the positive energy that will be with you.
Peter Gabriel - [Darkness]--- Cry until i laugh, all right. Such Strange days, and Happy New Year. Talk to a departed family member.}

Date: 2003-11-01 08:13 pm (UTC)But I had a nice night, with sushi, and a lover, and life was good, if for but one moment before all the weirdness crashed back in on me today.
And what do you know, I still bleed iron oxide red.
Speaking of Sociopathy
"Pay no mind to the rabble."
And, yeah, i still have to Remember to bleed, most times. Heh. Good times.

Date: 2003-11-02 08:50 am (UTC)When I was living in New Jersey, I went to a "northern" party. It was a major culture shock.
Besides, when I was living in the DC area, I was told quite often that DC was NOT northern. So there.
