Casey Jay at a... Frat Party?!

Ok. So the evening started out as a normal one; the day was spent fasting for the evening festivities, and was ended by running towards my bus in my gold heels.

Anyway, it was Sher's third party. I was so hungry when I arrived but we had to wait in line for a table which seemed forever. Sher's parties are always intresting. She never invites the same group of people two years in a row, just some select regulars you only recognize from aprties before. This was the first year I was datelss so I bought A along. I was looking HOT. Well, or so I thought. I had on the lower than low Velvet top - I still didn't get the straps fixed so the damn thing kept falling down all night showing off the bra underneath... and to think I was going to go without?! - with the sash I bought A for her birthday and just had to have one of my own.

Anyway when we were finally seated, it was A and us alone for ourselves, being that we were sitting on the other end of the table at Havanna Central. We were sitting around these two fat girls, Tara and Denise, and this guy who nobody knew who he was but somehow he was invited - he left giving Sher a Timex. We were thirty heads! Havanna Central only has maybe ten tables! So anyway one by one, they finally brought the food. A and I ate like no tomorrow. I cleaned the plate of course, but A was a proper lady and left some rice. The night progressed on and ended with just Sher, me, A, and Sher's two friends. We got to talking and reflecting on our lives from the past year. Melissa has a new baby, Caitlin is having a baby now, and A and I are off to London and hopefully jobs... Sher is just Sher and was nearly in tears telling us how much she loved us. We recounted the craziest stories; the bachelor Balducci party we invited ourselves to, the time Caitlin and she got pierced at Applebee's by the chef, the time Sher and I met Adam, who invited us to her apartment and called her the next day as we were with Jared this random 35 year old with a camera. ("And why didn't you go out with him, Cat?") We also had dubious talk about skeevatz Denise who was sharing with everyone shaved genital stories. And Sher worked at Pathmakr as the fish girl!!!Caitlin drove us around to A and my next party, where, in the car I realised how smart Caitlin is. I do like her and want to hang out with her again... but it's wierd now that she's going to be a mother... but she's twenty seven, its not liek she's fifteen and scared anymore. She says she's very happy. I hope it all works well. I want Sher to take me to the shower!


Anyway, A and I get invited to this wierd party in Tribecca. We go; not knowing anyone there. We simply get into the building and walk up to the apartment. We get in, and I look at A and she looks at me, as we stand in our designer duds, tasteful accesories, and good shoes, and look around as we are in a room of extremely well toned young guys in bathing suits.

("IT'S RAINING MEN!")

We were at our first frat party! It was HYSTERICAL! I drank a beer out of a can, and A bumped butts with some guy who wanted to be signed with Magic Markers. All the girls were ugly and had beer guts and were all dancing horribly to a large flatscreen TV with Michael Jackson videos on it. In cheap tanks that showed too much belly. A and I were the belles of the ball. I got Mardi Gras beads, (Fat Tuesday is coming), and A got the attention of some young investment bankers from Tennesse. We met some cute guys but they were all too young for our tastes. The kind of men that live in apartments made for one but fitting four and attend these psuedo college boy parties all the time. Trust fund babies EVERYWHERE! Anyway, we get to talking and I'm just laughing my ass off at this situation. It was great. You couldn't hear anyone or move anywhere. Soem random gy told me he loved me and gave me this huge kiss, and he was hot, so I was like, "Umm... Co'mere..." and proceeded to suck in half his face. I left with a peck of a kiss and a wink as his friend were like startled and staring. They rooted me as I walked away! The apartment was the entire ninth floor and so hot. Beer cans were ubiquitous. Josh or Jared or Jonas or something with a J was sweating bullets but did not hesitate to kiss my cheek goodbye. Someone kept throwing a beach ball in our direction, and this kid Kyle like tried to hit out of the way and ended up spilling something on my shoes. We left when the cute boys left and got kissed again by a foreign kid! Then we met these kids in the elevator and gave them our leis and beads.

We were going tot ake the train home but by now it was 2AM, so onto a cab!

I got to se A's home. It's so warm and pretty...

Was a crazy night. Just what I needed at a time when I needed some cheering.

So now I can honestly say I've done two things:

1. I've drank a beer out of a can like gross girls int he movies do all the time
2. I've been to a college party... the ones you see on TV and shows like Can't Hardly Wait.

Incredible!

A and I have decided were really are snobs...

But somehow, are not disturbed.
