Social Obligations

The first thing that crosses my mind when I see an invitation card is, what do I wear to the party!
Being a self-proclaimed social butterfly, I love parties! But attending them becomes a chore after a while I guess.
The whole hype about getting dressed comes along with rushing to get ready within the quickest time possible, as I'm always late. But, its a good feeling to feel good about yourself in your party-wear.
I look forward to the food, but more for the desserts or the birthday cake. I have a major sweet tooth. The drinks are never enough though, can't decide whether its because I talk too much when I'm having fun or because I make alot of 'small talks'.( the obligatory hellos to people whom you don't really know.) Getting a gift, is another headache as I don't believe in photo frames.I take time to choose the appropriate gifts.
I can get bored easily when am in parties, so I carry out my infamous hobby- people watch. It surprises me to see that some people(adults) have no social etiquette. Some forget about being socially eloquent in the pretext of seeking attention.
I really hate boring parties, where the atmosphere is still, the emcee is cracking lame jokes, the crowd laughs for everything etc. I think that these boring events don't do justice to my time spent dressing up. I know this sounds bimbo-tic, but I for one, takes alot of effort to dress up, which I normally don't.
I love parties,in which I laugh till I have tears in my eyes and by the time I get back, most of make -up is gone, coz I was too busy to touch-up.( Something which i don't do)!
Parties- Troublesome Indulgence.
