invite me to your party!

I am like frosting -- a fun addition to just about anything! (ok, except pizza, or electronic equipment or maybe postcards -- though that one's still open to debate.)

I went with a friend to a party full of strangers this weekend, and, left to my own devices, I grabbed a roll of three-inch wide masking tape and a sharpie, and started labeling things. I started out simple, with strips of tape saying "K8's Leg" or "Shin" and got progressively more nerdy ("GASTROCNEMIUS" ) and abstract ("RACY ---->" ).

By the time I left, however, the trend had caught on, and people were drawing six-shooters for their hips, Frankenstein valves for their necks, earrings and mustaches for their faces, and mottos for their shirts. (Mine was "MY CAR SERVICE FORSOOK ME," since the car service that said they'd be there in six minutes to pick me up never actually showed.)

p.s. all handwriting was done upsidedown.

My theory is, if I'm having fun, we're all having fun. Even if you don't want to have any fun, you'll be having it. (or you'll be in the other room where they were watching wrestling and eating cheese.)

My other theory is: every party is enhanced by some red velvet cake.

Oh, and another theory? Artsy people like artistic outlets in public. Nothing says "I'm sexy" to an artsy girl than coming up with the wittiest three-inch masking tape label.

Ok, ok, one last theory: cheese + me = good.
