Meeting new folks

Last night Alex and I went to our first house party in Michigan. It was at Laura and Keith's house in Ann Arbor, right down the street from Mike and right next door to the best beer store on the planet. I had already lubed up my social skills with a few beers so I was ready to talk to strangers. Alex and Mike were totally chilling on the edge of the party and as usual I threw myself right into the middle of it. First I met Jonathon, one of Mike's video friends. One of the weirdest conversationalist ever. It was sort of like talking to a tree ( Alex totally agreed with me on this one), maybe he was drunk. Not sure how the conversation turned to cock fighting but this guy Mark was jabbering on about it so I couldn't help but join in on this one. He had never seen a cock fight and truthfully I have never seen an organized cockfight in person but I have seen two roosters going at each other like two drunk rednecks arguing about which team is better Auburn or Alabama. Then I had to tell them about the time my uncle's asshole rooster attacked me when I was eight, and how they have talon like spikes on the back of their legs. I had to admit that as long as they do not add blades to the roosters, I really do not have a problem with cock fighting. Not sure that went over to well. The conversation turned to something lame so my attention was diverted to a side conversation, and that is how I met Dan and Bill. The best fun of the night was talking to these two, it was like they rehearsed or something. I may have almost peed myself laughing. Hope I get to talk to them again. Then, in walked a blond bomb shell in a tight red dress trailing a tidal wave sized wake of men. This was Jolee. Didn't get to talk to her much but wow what a show, I just couldn't look away. When I did pry my eyes off her and her entourage, I decided to step outside to talk with Keith (the host) and Robin (an English bloke from South Africa). I self labeled myself the interrupter as I tried to get a word in. This is when I turned into Jennytard and really did something stupid. I don't even remember how it started but I was like I bet I can throw this and hit you right in the forehead, so i picked up what I thought was popcorn and proceeded to bounce it off Robin's head. He was like if you do that one more time I will knock you right off that chair. This is when I realized I was throwing balled up cigarette butts. I told him I was sorry and we all laughed our asses off because I am stupid and he was super nice. I guess I win the Stupid Girl From Alabama Award on that little gem. The numbers started to dwindle at around 1am so we said our goodbyes and thank yous and walked back to Mike's place. All and all it was a pretty fun night. I just hope I learn how to behave myself one day.
