Yesterday was my father's surprise 60th birthday party, and it was fantastic! I cried, my sisters cried, then we stopped .... and then we cried some more. In any case, I bring the party up to discuss something about family gatherings - Why does there always seem to be one male family member/close friend of the family that lingers a little too long when you kiss/hug them "hello"? F@#KING LET GO OF ME! And, stop peering at me with your beady little eyes. Ick.
For those of you who attended the party, I will keep the man in question nameless, but y'all know who he is. If you don't, call me and I will tell you. Ugh, I felt so violated and exposed.
On another note, I realize that I'm not dating any one and I have no children, but that doesn't mean the only conversation I am capable of having is about college. I've been out of graduate school and working for almost 3 years, and still the only question I get asked at family functions is, "So, you done with school?" Yes, yes, yes! I've been out of school for three friggin' years! I told you that at the last family function!
Of course my favorite is, "No boyfriend yet?" No! No, there is no boyfriend yet! And, if you know where the hell he is, tell him I'm looking for him and that he's got a lot of explaining to do. What the hell, do I have to have some form of appendage (ie: boyfriend, child, etc.) to be worthy of a decent conversation? I can speak people! Especially about make-up, America's Next Top Model, and HBO Rome. My God, I think I just realized why I'm single. I need someone to take me to Home Depot ASAP so I can learn about power saws and shit like that.

My favorite scene was watching "grandpa" (and I don't mean papa) run across the dance floor to the cash bar. I think he had heelys on.
