Word’s gotten around that there’s a party at my place, and word is spreading fast. Was thinkin tonight I’d like to watch Dead Poets Society by myself, maybe look at the boobies of Fark, maybe curiously glance at the weeners tagline if I’m feelin lonely enough, and go to bed. Instead I got the entire fucking football team probably coming over expecting to get wasted. There probably won’t be any chicks either. Or if there are, they’re either the herpes kind or the non-herpes kind but incredibly naive.
Mother fuckers are gonna break the damn house. At least I cleaned up the place this afternoon. If they’re gonna crash my house, at least they can admire a well-mopped kitchen floor.
Couple of people who are “organizing” this it seems won’t tell me who’s coming. And I got less than an hour and a half before they show. Advice?
I’ve said no a couple times, but I never said “NO” to them because I wasn’t really taking them seriously. And deep down I wanted it to happen, so that the member of the immediate group who is sure to bring booze will allow me to curse him out, and then kick him out of the house. Immediate group of friends I can handle, when one of them tells other friends and they tell friends, then that’s a problem.
Sidestory: My dog ran away twice today. I’m pretty sure she’s jumping the fence. Really cute of her to make me notice she was missing with only an hour to go until the start. Luckily I found her, but that didn’t help that she was gone. She violently hates strangers though. I chewed her out and gave her “My Room” guard duty.
Oh no, the other kind of naive. Shows up at some guy’s house party and doesn’t realize the social situation they got themselves in, which might involve some drunken guys. Even though I banned alcohol, I don’t believe the certain person mentioned in my above post when he said “okay” to that.
20 minutes and so far the coast is good. Maybe I’ve been shat with and only the immediate group of fellas are coming over, and just want to hang out like regular folk.
Want them out of there fast? Call the city to make a noise complaint. Tell them to send the cops. Everyone’ll clear out so fast, it’ll make your head spin.
Here’s the recommended procedure, from Joan of Arcadia:
When the police knock at the door and tell you that they have received a noise complaint, say “Thank God!”, turns around and holler, “Everybody…the police are here. Time to get out!”
So…lemme get this straight. You said “no” to them, but you didn’t really say “NO”? How did that work? Were you saying no and laughing or otherwise being wishy washy about it? If so, looks like you’re fucked. You can’t really allow people to think there’s a party going on at your house and then not let them in.
If it’s got more of a “rumor” feeling about it, then just take off somewhere. Say you thought they were kidding or whatever so you went out. Or if you’re in high school, say your parents came home early if they’re gone and the party’s been moved to…wherever. Or if you’re not in high school say you just had some out of town relatives stop in, so you’re going to have to relocate the party. Call the biggest mouths in your social circle to make sure word spreads. Hang a sign on the door. Then take off.
Of course, if deep down inside you wanted this to happen, as you say, then what the hell are you complaining about?
Soooooooooo…what finally happened? Did a party finally materialize at your place or not? Is your house still standing? We want the dirt! We want the dirt!
