this picture's frozen and i can't get out

this weekend was the 40th annual sewer party. the biggest party of the year for TKE, and one of the largest at wpi. hell, even in worcester college scene.
anyway, i hear that this year's was just absolutely insane. off the hook, if you will.

i say i hear that because i was at work saturday night and i didn't go to the party.

most people, when they heard i was working instead of partying, gave some variation on this response: "oh man. that sucks."

i would invariably respond with, "yeah, man. what you gonna do?" mainly because that is easier than explaining to people that if i was at the party i wouldn't be in the party room at all. i would spend time in the upstairs bar or in the quad away from everyone.

i don't like parties. i haven't for awhile. inviting a few hundred strangers into my house to drink beer i pay for is not my idea of a good evening.

and other people were looking ahead to this party so much, i didn't want to say anything about my anti party stance as to bring them down.

so i spent yesterday hearing all about the crazy shit that went down on saturday night, and the whole time i was just thinking, "i don't care."

i find that a majority of my friends that are still in worcester are just interested in different things than i am. and it is hard to explain this to them in a way they actually understand, so they don't think i am just being a bitch or lazy.
