I'm not upset about it, I sure wouldn't "party" even if they invited me, so they're probably picking up on some pungent square odor I put out. That's fine.

La Lechera, Friday, 21 September 2007 19:52 (sixteen years ago) link

Actually, I think a square is someone who would be appalled by such an invitation. I'm not appalled, I'm just not interested.

I'm not appalled, I'm just not interested
pls to add to quasi-Morrissey song

La Lechera, Friday, 21 September 2007 19:54 (sixteen years ago) link

Yeah, I have the same connotations as Amanda re: "do you party?" But it sounds like a dumb thing to say, anyway.

jaymc, Friday, 21 September 2007 19:55 (sixteen years ago) link

Aaaaaaaand my work is basically done for the day. If only I could leave instead of fucking around for over two hours.

Jordan, Friday, 21 September 2007 19:56 (sixteen years ago) link

("no, I mean smoooooke...")

This is why that's dumb, too. I have on at least one occasion found myself answering that question with, "Yeah, sometimes at bars, when I'm drinking."

otm.

kenan, Friday, 21 September 2007 19:57 (sixteen years ago) link

Me too, except I don't smoke cigarettes but do smoke weed every now and then, so I have to backpedal.

Jordan, Friday, 21 September 2007 19:57 (sixteen years ago) link

I think it's a safe assumption that the kind of guys who would ask me if I wanted to party would probably not be the kind of guys I would want to party with anyway.

KitCat, Friday, 21 September 2007 19:58 (sixteen years ago) link

i want to party but i'd settle for a cigarette.

chicago kevin, Friday, 21 September 2007 19:58 (sixteen years ago) link

For some reason, I only imagine guys saying that.

KitCat, Friday, 21 September 2007 19:59 (sixteen years ago) link

fuck the rest of my resume sending, i'm going to play with a couple of wiener dogs.

chicago kevin, Friday, 21 September 2007 19:59 (sixteen years ago) link

truth be told, the only kinds of dudes who say "do you party" are the kinds of people i would never want to be around, ESPECIALLY if they're on blow.

Hey bud, let's party!

dan m, Friday, 21 September 2007 20:00 (sixteen years ago) link

i mean, free cocaine is great but damn, even i have standards.

chicago kevin, Friday, 21 September 2007 20:00 (sixteen years ago) link

Apparently, this pic explains it all.

I'm with Sarah. Anyone who would ask me this is not party-date material. If being used by a woman I picture Myrtle Beach waitress who always sings 'Black Velvet' at karaoke.

La Lechera, Friday, 21 September 2007 20:01 (sixteen years ago) link

xpost Should we ask Drew Daniel what he meant by that?

jaymc, Friday, 21 September 2007 20:02 (sixteen years ago) link

Unless you're being ironic or making reference to Andrew WK, using "party" as a verb is lame in any sentence.

kenan, Friday, 21 September 2007 20:04 (sixteen years ago) link

the arbiter has spoken

La Lechera, Friday, 21 September 2007 20:09 (sixteen years ago) link

Do it, Jamzeee.

KitCat, Friday, 21 September 2007 20:09 (sixteen years ago) link

the abattoir is smoking, the market is flush with ham.

chicago kevin, Friday, 21 September 2007 20:15 (sixteen years ago) link

My zit hurts.

Jordan, Friday, 21 September 2007 20:17 (sixteen years ago) link

is that slang for you having a smack habit? like a "monkey on your back"?

chicago kevin, Friday, 21 September 2007 20:19 (sixteen years ago) link

exactly. And satisfying your craving is known as "poppage."

kenan, Friday, 21 September 2007 20:20 (sixteen years ago) link

Kevin, what is that from? Or did you make it up? If so, what does it mean? I like it.

(the abattoir thing)

Jesse, Friday, 21 September 2007 20:22 (sixteen years ago) link

kevin, good 2 have u back

dan m, Friday, 21 September 2007 20:26 (sixteen years ago) link

happy early bday to Jeff, since I prolly won't be on line tomorrow to say it in a timely manner.

kenan, Friday, 21 September 2007 20:58 (sixteen years ago) link

A dude replied to my offer to trade my guitar for a semihollowbody! I'm going to go check it out this weekend sometime, but it would look almost exactly like the red guitar I posted near the top of the thread.

In not-as-fun news, I took the practice GRE computer test and ... I am fucked. I am way too slow at the math.

n/a, Friday, 21 September 2007 21:03 (sixteen years ago) link

Here is me specifically not wishing happy birthday to Jeff because I think he would prefer it this way.

Jordan, Friday, 21 September 2007 21:04 (sixteen years ago) link

Where is an emergency place with PCs that I can go this afternoon/evening to do the rest of the practice tests? Besides my office in Evanston?

n/a, Friday, 21 September 2007 21:05 (sixteen years ago) link

Ditto to Jordan.

Nick, the practice tests are probably harder than the real thing. Don't sweat it!

KitCat, Friday, 21 September 2007 21:06 (sixteen years ago) link

Nick, I was wandering around near your neighborhood once and found an internet cafe, on, I don't know Damen maybe.

Jordan, Friday, 21 September 2007 21:07 (sixteen years ago) link

No, the practice test is easier because some of the questions were the same as the practice questions in the book. Plus there is basically no way to practice the writing part of the GRE so I'm stressing out about that part too.

n/a, Friday, 21 September 2007 21:07 (sixteen years ago) link

The library in downtown Evanston.

Eazy, Friday, 21 September 2007 21:08 (sixteen years ago) link

nick, maybe you need to 'party' before the math section?

xpost

colette, Friday, 21 September 2007 21:08 (sixteen years ago) link

Bytes & Coffee at Barry and Broadway is a nice place, and you can buy something like 10 hours for $25 or 5 for $15.

Eazy, Friday, 21 September 2007 21:09 (sixteen years ago) link

Nick, you could go to our local library (he's at home now), but I wonder if they'd let you put a disc in...

KitCat, Friday, 21 September 2007 21:09 (sixteen years ago) link

OR MoJoe's on Belmont has a free laptop.

Eazy, Friday, 21 September 2007 21:10 (sixteen years ago) link

I don't think any library would want me putting software on their computer or using it for 1hr 15minutes. I'm wary of internet cafes but that might work I guess. I think there's one near Chicago and Damen.

n/a, Friday, 21 September 2007 21:10 (sixteen years ago) link

there's also SCREENZ at various locations.

sweet tater, Friday, 21 September 2007 21:11 (sixteen years ago) link

If you exclude internet cafes and librarys, you've pretty much talked yourself out of most examples of "an emergency place with PCs that I can go this afternoon/evening."

Eazy, Friday, 21 September 2007 21:12 (sixteen years ago) link

libraries

Eazy, Friday, 21 September 2007 21:13 (sixteen years ago) link

Eazy, I think he's trying to narrow it down to YOUR APARTMENT!

Jordan, Friday, 21 September 2007 21:15 (sixteen years ago) link

Nick, if it helps, I can walk home.

KitCat, Friday, 21 September 2007 21:16 (sixteen years ago) link

Christ, I just got sleeeeeeepy. I'm still here for another hour, too.

jaymc, Friday, 21 September 2007 21:18 (sixteen years ago) link

Do you pray virtually?

I will def need a nap before tonight.

KitCat, Friday, 21 September 2007 21:19 (sixteen years ago) link

Don't interrupt, I'm talking to Christ.

jaymc, Friday, 21 September 2007 21:22 (sixteen years ago) link

* very very quietly *
What is everyone up to tomorrow night (other than Dan & sisut [not because I don't like them but because I already know they'll be seeing the national])

KitCat, Friday, 21 September 2007 21:23 (sixteen years ago) link

Not sure yet. I really need to pack this weekend, so I imagine I'll be doing that for much of the day, but I don't have plans for later.
