wrong turn

You have approximately 4 parties on your day planner. They aren't all on the same day, necessarily, but they are all within close proximity of one another. You have had bits and pieces of each of the parties on previous occasions, but you need to make a decision. Which party are you going to attend?

You know that you can only select one party. They are all pretty wild parties and if you go to one then you're going to be wiped out and not be able to attend any of the other parties.

So you pick a party. And it's pretty banging for awhile. Things are going well. You like the party. While you were at this party, you're getting these updates on your iPhone (or equivalent) that make you think that maybe I should have selected this other party instead of this one. But that's all in the back of your mind. But eventually you realize that this party, this is not the best party I've ever been to. I think I need to leave this party.

Now you're not really focused on this other party. You just need to relax.

So you're relaxing but people keep blowing up the Facebook and the Twitter with their pictures of the party and their stories of the party and all you can manage to think is that "Man, I should have gone to this party. I like what I see from this party and I think I really would have enjoyed said party."

So you see that there may be another party coming up, and hot diggity dog, you want to attend this party. But, alas, it appears as though your party invitation has been filled by another indvidual. So now what?

I mean, I suppose you could potentially wrangle an invite to the party with some type of grand gesture or something similar. But, I mean, really? Do we want to make a grand gesture to attend a party that we don't even know that we're going to like? Just cause it looks awesome doesn't mean that it is, right? But it does look pretty awesome.

I guess the lesson that you learn is that you go to the party the first chance you get, because you might not ever make it back into the VIP lounge. Someone else has taken your seat on the bar stool.

I, of course, am talking about my lunch choice a few weeks ago when I went with the carved roast beef at Wegmans when I was also considering the chinese or indian buffet. Maybe a sub sandwich? By the time I was in line and saw the indian food, I could make a scene and say no I don't want this carved sandwich... I want this indian food instead. But that's too much hassle. How do I know this is good indian food?

No, no. Just kidding. It's a story about a girl. Of course it is.
