Do you know why I love you guys?

Because you never invite me to irritating events like jewelry parties. And I really think I might have to go to this one, because I LIKE this woman, and I don't want to snub her invitation. But, god, a jewelry party? REALLY?!

Tell me it's not going to be as ridiculous and insipid as I think it's going to be. Tell me I do not have to spend a ridiculous amount of money on mass-produced sterling silver in order to be a good friend.

(And why the hell are people paying this much for sterling silver? Jesus, doesn't anybody just go to Mexico any more?)

See, Tupperware I could actually live with, because Tupperware is useful shit. I just...wtf am I supposed to do at a jewelry party, sit around and drape things on myself? Don't get me wrong, I LIKE jewelry, I just prefer to buy from the artists themselves. And besides, I can go to a Tupperware party and drop $30 and at least get SOMETHING. I didn't see a single piece in that catalog that I would wear that was under $150.

Now, if it were Mary Kay, that might be enough to end a friendship over. *laughs*

My aunt is a tupperware sales distributor, I shit you not. And my parents used to sell Amway, which is a terror I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

I am well-versed in the experience of sales parties. I hate them all equally.

(No, not true. I like Pampered Chef because there's food, and sex toy parties because I find them amusing. But the rest are made of woe and angst. Where are the CD exchange parties, where we all bring our favorite new band stuff and trade it around before ordering stuff from Amazon?

That's the sort of sales party I could get into.)

No, really, see - we could do this. I SHOULD do this. I WILL DO THIS.

Um, sometime. Soon. Ish.

How fun would that BE, though? SO MUCH FUN, IS HOW MUCH FUN!

It would totally be SO MUCH FUN. And, you know. Profitable for the bands. Or something.

Better than jewelry, at least. It would have to be, right?
