Life is Weird

Sometimes unexpected things happen. Sometimes unexpected things are good, like winning the lottery. Sometimes they're bad, like a car crash. Sometimes they are just bizarre.

In movies you see the stereotypical teenage parties. Music blasting, people packed everywhere, kegs and drinking abound, people smoking, etc. Theoretically these kinds of parties do actually happen. I however, never go to them. My friends aren't the kinds of people who go to parties like that, we're more of a play charades and watch movies kind of party people. The closest any of us come to those kinds of parties is Cast Party, but even then it's mostly just a lot of drinking, not so much the smoking or drugs or whatever else. Also there's always the group of us that leaves before it gets wild.

We head over to someones house, pull out a bunch of food, put our jammies on and watch Disney movies before crashing. The next day we're tired but not hung over. Actors don't seem to realize that getting really drunk at cast party is a bad idea, especially when there's strike the next day, and that means the set has to come down, which means a lot of banging and loud noises. Being hung over is especially bad when the set is metal scaffolding. The techies and a few actors seem to realize this but the rest are just in agony the next day. But I digress.

The point is I thought I had made it through most of my teenage years without the crazy parties. But no. A friend of mine just invited me to his birthday party out at his cabin. "160 acres of forest with a creek going through it, far enough away from civilization to do as we please" Now I trust my friend, and looking at the guest list with about half the people invited it could be a really fun weekend. The other half however are the ones that are going to be drunken idiots, and smoking, and doing who even knows what drugs, they are some of the most irresponsible people I know and there is no way this is going to end well.

And I don't know if I should go or not, on the one hand I think it's a catastrophe waiting to happen, and it's not my kind of scene. On the other I do really like some of the people going and we'd probably stick together in slightly less insanity. And it might be interesting just to go and see how it is, there's always the possibility that I'm being way too uptight and it could be fun. I guess I'll just see who ends up going, and also what happens with my work schedule.

So that's today's random event. In other news I applied for a summer internship with an art society so I'm really hoping that'll work out! Today I also went to the chiropractor, and went shopping for a new table cloth with my mom.

DFTBA,
