December 9. Party.
Prompt: Party. What social gathering rocked your socks off in 2010? Describe the people, music, food, drink, clothes, shenanigans. (Author: Shauna Reid)
I’m definitely not a big partier, nope not in the least. However, I do go to the occasional gathering of friends at their homes during the year. I suppose some of those are probably considered parties, but I think of them more as gatherings.
In 2010, I didn’t do many gatherings at all. I know that will change in 2011 once I move back to Asheville, since I used to go to a number of gatherings when I lived in North Carolina. It was usually just a group of three or four friends having dinner and playing volleyball or something outside having a good time.
The only thing that I would consider to be a gathering that highlights my 2010 would be my trip to Asheville in July. I drove up to visit my friends and to just enjoy my favorite mountain town. I had a few nights and times where I was just hanging out with my friends. To me, those are memories I enjoy.
One evening, I went to the local second run movie theater (Asheville Pizza & Brewery Co.) which is also a food/beer restaurant with two of my good friends and their parents. It was a great time. I enjoyed seeing Iron Man 2 again, having soy cheese pizza and just spending some time with some of my favorite people. Definitely a highlight of my vacation.
Two other nights in “The Paris of the South” were big high points for me. One evening, I huddled up on the couch with another friend enjoying chips and salsa and we watched Fight Club. The other night was my final one in Asheville, my friends and I ordered in rice cheese pizza for delivery and watched another movie, G-Force. It’s all about spending quality time with friends for me.
