So Prometheus and I have decided that we need to do something for New Years Eve.
We realize that about half of the TWG Utah members lack sufficient interpersonal skills to organize an event and remember to invite us. (You know who you are you selfish pigs). So, we are thinking of having a get together of some kind at our place. Is anyone interested?
-
Oh how quickly you forget 42. Everyone's going to Earls party weither he likes it or not.
-
Exactly who is everyone?
-
I was planning a TWG newyears eve event at the cottentree and EUOL, Fell and Tage said they'd be at Earls. I'm goining too, beacuse Earl has money so there will be good food there. Kije's wife refuses to goto a nerd party so he's out. I don't want to speak for Earl or his house so ask, I don't think there would be any problem with you two comming.

See inviting oneself to a party is a particularly uncouth or civilized. See it places the person giving the party in an awkward position. If the host says know then he or she has most likely made an enemy. If he or she says yes then an excuse must be made as to why they snubbed the invitee to begin with.
Now for the person asking to be invited, well it's just humiliating. You kind of have to except that you are not important enough to be thought about by the one hosting and chances are the host just finds you to be an annoyance and was hoping you would never notice that he or she was throwing a party.
Hence let me refer you to a previous statement:

I'm assumeing my rommates 42 and Promethious will be there to.
--Posted by Sprig in a thread discussing TWG get-togethers. He had to 'assume' because neither of you responded to his post asking if anyone wanted to have a new year's party. Odd that this would happen on a forum where--on a separate occasion--you got huffy when I requested that someone point out a post to you, since I was worried you wouldn't see it.

Perhaps instead of being self-centeredly insistent that you are a pathetic, betrayed victim, you could try giving your friends the benefit of the doubt once in a while.

Thanks EUOL, and 42 I even talked to you about this several times in person! I said I'd like to have a party at the cottentree and, of course, you and Promethious are invited. Then I told you that it was cancled becasue of lack of intrest and earl's party. I then said if you want I can ask if you and Promethoius could come, and you said you'd think about it. I was invited to Earl's party because I ASKED if I could come, I did not invite myself. I wasn't invited at first, why? becasue no one new I had intrest until I asked. I think you own me and everyone else an apology for calling us "Selfish Pigs". We're not, we tried to include you but it's not our fault you don't remember.
But anyway I just realised I am working tonight so you all enjoy your selfloathing or parties, what ever floats your boat. I'm actualy kinda of releaved that I wont have to worry about it anymore. What's the point of trying to have fun if your friend tries to make you feel bad for doing so.
-
Sorry, I kind of don't have a whole lot of faith in you guys. In fact, I believe we've had this same discussion repeatedly in the past. The change of venue has had me quite confused.
I'll make sure Prometheus knows he's welcomed to attend.
-
I realize that this party is designed for normal people, but I'm going to nerd it up and bring my Magic cards...and, possibly, my Heroclix. Even if I don't use them, at least I'll have them just in case.
-
Two notes:
Pretty much everyone is invited to our New Year's party. Yes, we're hoping for a large turn-out of non-nerds, but I still have no idea who's actually coming.
Feel free to bring any Magic decks, Heroclix stuff, or other nerdly items, but there's a high likelihood there won't be room to play.
We live at 1440 N. 880 W. in Orem, and like I said, you're all welcome to join us.
-
ah yes, here it is. Less than 12 hours till the moment, and I still dont' have plans. I keep hoping that I'll be able to at least play strategy games, if not role play, but I have little to no hope for that, since really the only guy I know who'd be interested is Jeffe (let's not even think about my in-laws) and since he hasn't mentioned anything either, I reckon he's got plans already.
If someone gets online I'll probably be available for games of Magic on that Netdraft game, or buttonmen, or something else that takes low system resources. I'll probably watch movies and try to write though.
-
I hadn't realized it at first, but I made plans with my friends tonight to play the Civilization board game. I didn't even notice that it was new years eve. Goes to show you how I spend my day before the renewed new year.
-
Fell: it comes as a complete shock to me that you even know any non-nerds, with the exception of Dawn's friends (and most of those are Wyomingans - just as bad, if not worse).
-
Some friends of ours just invited us to their place on Sunday to play Zarahemla, which is basically Settlers of Cattan. I was brutally beaten, but I highly recommend the game.
-
42: We probably shouldn't have jumped on you so hard. Looking at that second post again, and seeing the kind of grammar you used, it was probably written during one of your...less stable periods.
Anyway, yes, you're welcome to come.
Sprig, why are you working?
-
Well, thank you for the invitation.
I'm afraid I won't be going because I realized last night (again) that I get kind of depressed, mopey and somewhat suicidal after 11:00. But I'm sending Prometheus with my camera to take pictures.

I'm working becasue today is Wensday and I allwayse work on wensdays.

At the New Year's party over last night, I offered to show my little brother's anime RahXephon to our small cluster of friends there, but I didn't get the chance to do so.
EUOL at least was still interested in seeing it, and so we're wondering if anyone else is interested in seeing some of the new show at an anime party anytime soon. It's a series anime and so far my little brother has only the first four DVDs of it, but I've found it to be quite enjoyable to everyone that has seen it so far. My attempts to explain what it was like to Fell and EUOL, but they (quite rightly) indicated that my explanations could be just about any anime, so I'm not sure that it's worth trying over the forum.
I have the next two days off (January 1st and 2nd) and available to have an anime party. We could do it later if need be to let more people see it. Is anyone interested?
-
I've been wanting to see that, since it's meant to be like Evangelion. So, yeah, i'd be interested if, y'know, I lived in the same country.
