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

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

("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."

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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?

― 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."

― 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.
