LIFE OF THE PARTY

So I went to the party today and it and I were a success.

It was for 12-2 and I got there at 12:30.

I knew 80% of the people there and what is more, I like all of them.

Mutual friends attract mutual friends, huh?

I went around and talked to everyone that I knew and then I got to meet at least 5 that were new to me.

I didn't ever make small talk and neither did any of them.

I met a nice young man who lived in the South End at the same time we did in a house not two blocks away.

They had the signature event--a cake with candles--at 1 PM.

Perfecto. I even got to be present for the high point.

I talked a little more.

I ate and drank nothing.

And then when there were a few others beginning to leave, I was right with them. In the middle of the huddle.

Less than an hour. A good time. Pleasant memories.

Not one cringe moment in the whole time.

Bingo.

Life of the party. No corners and no lampshades on my head. Right down the middle.
