I wasn’t much of a huge partier in high school. That doesn’t mean I didn’t go to parties, though. I totes did! There was the party around Valentine’s Day one year where my friend and I were so annoyed with the mere concept of V-Day that we drank whatever we could get our grubby 17 year-old hands on while simultaneously ingesting enough No-Doze to keep a college kid studying for three days straight (I then puked for 24 hours in a row). There was the party in Rehoboth Beach when I was grounded and lied to my parents about working at the Gap that night, all night, and then my dad came out looking for me, found me driving home on a deserted country road, flashed me with his bright lights until I pulled over, then walked up to my car and yelled at me to never, ever pull over when someone flashed their lights at me like that. Oh, there was the party where I made out with one of my best male friends which was totally fucking weird and we couldn’t stop laughing about it at the time. (Would you believe we’re both gay and out now? Uh huh.) There were the parties where I got wasted spending the entire night sitting on the backs of different pickup trucks (I went to high school in Delaware). And there was the party out in the middle of the boonies where I drove home extremely drunk and to this day still think about how someone must have been watching over me that night; I haven’t driven under the influence of anything since. Okay so now that I’m thinking about it, I went to more parties than I want to remember.
