6 Party Tips for the Antisocial

Print, found via A Cup of Jo

1. Befriend any pets of the host, excluding rodents and snakes. (Or, even better, just don't hang out with people who keep rodents or snakes as pets.)

2. Pick a default and cling to him/her.

3. Ladies: Wear impressive heels and then stand/sit still at the party. Heels aren't cute if you can't walk in them.

4. Let people come to you- don't be that weirdo who lingers.

5. Watch people without them noticing. That way you can talk about the party on Monday and make it sound like you were actually involved in conversation.

6. Leave on a high note. Did you just tell a hilarious joke? Then get the hell out while you're on top!

Over the weekend

A dream came true this weekend: I finally got to go to the mountains! Most of it was spent inside with a cup of hot tea grading essays written by seventh graders about the Titanic (or Titianik, as many of them chose to spell it) and reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. 


It also involved a game of Scrabble out on the balcony where I ended up with sunburn. It wouldn't be a vacation without one, right?
