9/15/2002 - All Hail Rome
All that comes to mind is ribald Greaseman skits...
There's no denying that Chris throws a mean party. Zoom's toga party was really lots of fun with all the expected hedonism, debauchery and assortment of oddly dressed individuals. I wish we could make his parties more often.
Over the years I've become quite content with my role as the "friendly observer" at such gatherings. I enjoy watching people run around naked, but rather miss having pockets myself. A great many people enjoy their drugs, but beyond alcohol, I've never tried any of them. And when people start pairing off for sex at the end of the night, I'm quite happy to head home alone.
Don't get me wrong. I don't object to any of the aforementioned indulgences. I'm a pro-legalization, pro-positive sex, pro-"people should be able to run around as naked as they please" kinda guy. I just don't feel compelled to do much of it myself. Its a temperament that Will and I share, and I suppose one reason why we're such a good match.
Also note: That's real Laurel on our heads. Who knew it was so damn floppy? Somehow I imagine the Romans had a little more talent in the floral arrangments department than yours truly...
