In about an hour or so, I'll be playing Bunko for the very first time. I've avoided it (not necessarily intentionally) since it started making the rounds of my friends . . . and oddly enough, those who knew OF me and would grab my arm enthusiastically with an invite to join their Bunko group. "No, thanks," I always responded.
I've thought about my response very little. I love to socialize, but why does it always seem to be that when "friends" get together we invent some damn excuse to do so? "Hey, I'm hosting a _______ party!" or you can imagine all the clever ways we sneak our friends into our homes . . . yeah? I am told that Bunko is very different . . . I'm so looking forward to it! I like to just be stupid silly with my girlfriends . . . playing a game at the same time, why not?
I do not despise the tactics . . . but they are really weird.
I do not need a Superbowl party, Tupperware etc. party, to be lured into your home, friends. I'll come just 'cos I like ya. If you want me to buy some stuff, I may do that as well (but really, I'd rather be real about these parties: we may like each other, but the only reason you are hosting is you want free stuff or you got suckered into hosting the party).
I am not certain what I'll think of this before the night is through. I know I'll enjoy the company!
I am not certain I like the catch that eventually 11 other women will be in my home to play some night. I'm not a large group entertainer, and, there are prizes to be bought etc. (again, this is something I may have misheard - for my being hard of hearing, not a far-fetched truth) . . .
As with anything in life, I will cross that bridge when I come to it.
I just hope it lives up to all the hype!

so...how was Bunko? :) Of course, it's only 3 am your time, but ya' know..Bunko could still be going on and you're just a ragin' party girl!
I have never played bunko, but I hear it is LOADS of fun!! Let me know how it goes/went!
Bunko Party!!! That is definitely something you can't do on a blog. Good for you for doing some flesh and blood entertaining. I find being hostess to a large crowd rather frightening but I'm striving to overcome that weakness. As soon as this addition is completed, that is.
Living out in the country has brought about my own isolation. It is hard to get together without it being a -book club--or sports--or cards (which I HATE)...did you know that about me. I hate playing cards. I would rather get a root canal.
This game sounds like fun! I hope it goes well for you!
