non-permanence

Sunday, July 24, 2005

Since I've come from my lengthy vacation from the comfy suburb of Bergenfield, New Jersey, I haven't experienced home during weekend nights. If it wasn't dinner or wine, it was dancing. Mostly it was dancing. Probably one of my greater excuses for not going to the gym.... I was burning calories anyway.

I thought last night was gonna be my first night at home on a weekend. I can finally catch the latest of Saturday Night Live and render homework assignments, passing it early to my tired, brilliant groupmates.

Oh sweet fate.

I ended up at a Fraternity Tribal Party at MIT.

Nick, my friend's ex-roomate's ex-boyfriend, answered the door in a self-made bone necklace, a tribal hat, carrying a spear --wearing only what looked like, shredded black shorts and body paint. He looked like an extra from Braveheart.

I was dressed like a confirmed yuppie. But no one really cared as everyone was pretty much gone mentally. Even for MIT people. The night wasn't priceless but it was nice to see a multi-racial group enjoy festivities of the summer. What was priceless though was I met my first ever FOSSIL major.

Yes, ladies and gents. A FOSSiL major.

I couldn't believe it. And I was trying hard to conceal my amusement as he tried to absorb the strangeness that is "Marketing" and "Speech Therapy" (my friend's major). What was strange to him was what my world normally calls "mundane" and "everyday". I was trying not to make a face as I glance over my shoulder at the huge stack of "New Scientist" magazines. (I swear this is all true)

It is all together too amusing. I seriously love dorks. And I always always love learning something new. But this is the night I realized I can't tolerate them getting drunk. Puts the iiiiing in Annoying. Filling the uncomfortable silence with Fossil stories doesn't help. Pretending to understand advertising and campaigns and speech therapy further worsens it.

Errg. The vodka's gone. I gotta get a drink.

Oh sweet heavens. Please do not shoot me with negative karma.
