No, I don't like parties. Why?

"Hi! Welcome to the tutoring center! Guess what? We're having an office party today! Potluck, bring food.

What do you mean it's the week before finals and you're not in the mood?

What do you mean you loathe parties, office parties most of all?

C'mon, Icarus. Wipe that Snape-ish snarl off your face, stop swearing, bake something, and come 'be entertaining' for an hour or two!

What do you mean you'd rather clean the catbox with your teeth?"

Why do workplaces do this? I don't want to talk to most of my co-workers while I'm in the office, let alone when I'm not getting paid for it. And I don't cook, for which everyone should be grateful.

The only office party I ever had fun at was the one where I took a female friend (which was not uncommon there, for some reason) and everyone assumed she was my girlfriend. Neither of us disabused them of the notion, and watching everyone struggle to say something innocuous was amusing. But that's it.

Now that sounds like fun.

Maybe I could my boyfriend in drag? :D
