If we had a big goodreads party, how would you act? Would you interact with everyone? Get drunk and dance on tables? Stand in the corner and have quiet conversation? Skip because you're not into social gatherings?

Interact with everyone. I would also be the one staying late and helping to clean up when it's done.
I think I would feel awkward 'cause I'm like...the only teenager. But I'd definitely talk to everyone.Oh, and I'd be the one to bring cupcakes!!!
I'd get a little tipsy, and ask everyone what they were reading, until a good song came on the stereo, and then I'd start singing along, and dancing a little.But not on the tables, just on the floor. :)
As much as I like all of you guys, having never met any of you in person, I would probably pass. I am a social dweeb!
i'm showing up in drag. kind of because it is sort of expected and a bit because that is the way i roll
Fine, if Kevin's showing up in drag, the least I can do is show up and eat some fruit off of his hat. I would talk football with you Gabby, but you would probably have to carry the conversation for awhile.
So far, we've got cupcakes from Britt, and fruit from Kevin.I'll bring brie and baguettes, and a couple of bottles of pinot gris.
If Britt is bringing cupcakes, I'm totally there.
i would probably start out a bit quiet in a corner, just because i'm shy, and after a few drinks do a little crazy dance and become social.i'll bring beer.
Haha. Is the kid allowed to drink at this party?
I'd be social. I'd wanna talk to everybody. I'd fight Jackie and RA and Gus and Clark for the right to DJ. We might need to assign turns. I'd have a couple of drinks, but probably wouldn't dance.
I'd get drunk and beat up King Dinosaur.
Hi, Britt! How are you on this fine day? I'd buy you a drink at the party, cuz you're nice.
Ben wrote: "I'd get drunk, then I'd beat up King Dinosaur."HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Oh, I shouldn't be laughing at that... Sorry, KD!
We'd have to have RA bring water balloons along to break fights up with. :)
I'm great! I'm about to jump into the world of Harvey Pekar; I couldn't be better. And thanks! I'd make sure you got the prettiest cupcakes.
I'd try to turn you into an angry drunk, Jackie. I bet it's impossible, but one can try!
Britt wrote: "Haha. Is the kid allowed to drink at this party?"depends on the country we're in.
Hold it. Ben is buying Britt a drink? You mean there's a cash bar at this party? How lame.
Oooh. Good point, J. I bet RA would get us a bunch of free kegs and a bar with everything we could imagine. I know he would.
Ben wrote: "I'd try to turn you into an angry drunk, Jackie. I bet it's impossible, but one can try!"Ben, you could try, but I'd probably just laugh and tell you you were silly, but cute. And then I'd hit you with a water balloon and run away. :)
Ben wrote: "Oooh. Good point, J. I bet RA would get us a bunch of free kegs and a bar with everything we could imagine. I know he would."I'm hoping.
Jonathan wrote: "Hold it. Ben is buying Britt a drink? You mean there's a cash bar at this party? How lame."No, no, no... this is a potluck, everyone! Bring a bottle or a six-pack to share!
I'd bring my vegetarian bean dip, or cottage dill bread. And a case of Resurrection Ale so you could finally taste Baltimore's finest liquid export.

(I guess the young 'uns probably don't say that anymore, do they?)

I'd show up fashionably late, with a case of beer and whiskey, and then I'd work the room and mingle with everyone.
And, yes, RA needs to stay away from the stereo. Something tells me he'll get shit-faced and start playing Taylor Swift and then get all weepy-eyed like some 13-year-old girl.
Ben's comment about KD made me piss my pants. Nothing says "party" like a brawl. Just for shits and giggles, I'd punch Clark in the face, and then we'd get hammered some more.

Wait, I'm throwing this fucking party? I thought it was on Kevin's lawn.This stereo issue is a problem. Maybe we could sign up for fifteen minute slots...I could get one Taylor Swift song and one SOTL song in there. If I had enough alcohol in me I might sing the former directly to Gus. Yes, I know the words.
Maybe Jackie would break a bottle on one of the table edges and challenge someone to a fight...
if you want to sing a taylor swift song you'll have to dress up.
I'm usually not good at that type of gathering, by the way. I'd definitely stay near the kegs and stereo and talk with a small group, then move from small group to small group.

So, sort of Columbia-esque, from Rocky Horror, Barb?
Mod
After I had too much stimuli I'd probably wait until no one was looking or fake going to pee and slip out, too, without saying goodbye.
Wow, that really bites. Why?I'd be the first to show up and the last to leave. 'cause that's how I am with EVERYTHING.
I can only handle so much noise and so many people before I have to go hide.Unless I'm the right kind of drunk.

Have the party in Australia you are old enough here. :)

I don't know when to leave parties. I find myself still there at the end sometimes, helping to clean up.
Yes I think Australia would be the perfect venue. I'm not a party person, though, to be honest. Small groups are more fun for me. Too many people talking at once and I can't hear a danged thing. It has to do with the hearing loss I suffered early in my work career.I would really like to meet all of you, though. And Jim, you'd BETTER show up. :)
Australia sounds great. They have kangaroos and very large cans of beer.
And the Great Barrier Reef! I'm for it!
Do we really have large beer cans?
I am great at throwing parties, but not big on the socialising myself. If you throw the party, it gives you an excuse to escape to the kitchen for some quiet time.
I prefer dinner parties with a limited number of close friends. Where I can still escape to the kitchen if I need to. :)

The Barrier Reef?! I saw that on Shark Week--very scary.
Ha, Gail, with this group, we might all hide in the kitchen with you. :)
I remember having Fosters in big cans -- like quarts of oil, but taste much better.

LOL, I know what you mean. Lucky I have a very big kitchen. :)

Fosters of course! I would be chatting with everyone like I always do and end up talking sports or politics with some other hard core politicos and sports fans. :)
