Party Hardy

So last night, I organized a STAC "Ugly-Sweater-Holiday-Potluck-Party" at my house! I am rather impressed with myself, because I NEVER go out of my way to organize social gatherings. Whenever I think of "social gatherings" and the word "host" involved, it gives me a headache. Host being the host, will be stuck with all the work of the party and won't have any fun. I've also had some bad experiences with hosting, mainly cause I either suck at it or don't do it enough. Well, not doing it enough does equate to sucking, yes?

We played some good 'ol boardgames. Stuff like Taboo and Apples to Apples; it was a hit! Plus, I set up a campfire in my backyard to make s'mores, and obviously what kind of party would it be without karaoke? Plus, making it a potluck was a pretty smart idea on my part. Since it was my first time hosting something serious, it was a nice to have other people bring stuff that they wanted to bring.

Hopefully, everyone had a great time. I mean I did, anyway.

Hosting was not as bad as I thought it'd be. There was a lot of running around and slight sweating, but it was much more enjoyable than I thought it'd be. It's interesting to see what it's like to be a host for a change instead of an attendee.

Feels good to do something that brings people together.
