This years was a let down. I brought easy games that could be played with all levels of sobriety, with simple rules and funny results that would keep people engaged the whole time or spark funny conversations. I told my mom and sister to come because i thought we'd all be snacking and playing and laughing.
instead there was a bunch of conversation that none of us (mom, cara, me, or VB) could relate to or contribute to. Very exclusive. Its kind of hard to feel festive and happy when the only conversation you can really have is about how you you cant be included in everyone else's conversation. Literally was just us kind of laughing at them because they might as well have been speaking another language. (mind you.. VB didn't care.. he was stoned and just chilling.)
They were incredibly bored... the one or two times they tried to have a conversation they found who they were speaking to rude, arrogant, and unpleasant. I suggested playing cards against humanity because its a game everyone can play, easy to understand, its fun and funny, and would have brought everyone together. Would have picked up the already disappointed moods (cara and me) and found a way to include everyone in something.
Instead that was shot down with... dun dun dun... tarot card circle of death... a complex game thats long and drawn out that we play every single time we ever decide to play anything while drinking. It took so long to even get that going that mom and cara ended up leaving because it was after midnight and they were bored (cara was also offended and trying to not fight anyone), I was bored and in a foul mood, and everyone was already drunk and obnoxious. The game was like it always is... long and relatively boring.
I would have left when my family did if it weren't for the fact that i spent so much money on the liquor i didn't have money to go out, plus i didn't want to hurt aarons feelings. So i stayed... ending up having to grab the crown i had brought specifically for me so i would actually have some left because thats what others seemed to want to drink... instead of the two bottles of liquor i actually bought for the house.
the only food was deviled eggs. (which if brooks and amy hadn't brought there would have been nothing)
the most exciting and arguably only enjoyable part of the night was when we all had to go save and take care of a girl that had obviously been drugged. Which is fucking sad.
next year: proper game night or i'm going out. No party that i'm a "co host" for but feel like i can't even be a part of. Next year I will either have fun or go somewhere that i will.
