Remember when I was at that party last weekend? And it went absolutely unhinged? Well, excuse me, but let's just say my definition of "unhinged" doesn't quite match yours.
You mean to tell me there were people actually drinking wine without cheese plates or engaging in conversations without mentioning their Ivy League degrees?! Preposterous! And don't even get me started on the lawn chair scandal during your last community event.
I DEMAND that you explain why someone thought it was appropriate to leave a perfectly good, albeit slightly outdated, patio set out for two weeks before the summer BBQ! It's an eyesore and a gross disregard for the HOA rules. But I suppose if one were not so concerned about the proper etiquette of our lovely suburban neighborhood, then perhaps such shenanigans could be considered "unhinged.
" As for me, I'll stick to my book club meetings where we sip on wine that actually has corks and gossip about affairs that don't actually happen (though they make great fiction). Miss Bonkers, if you want real drama, you should come over to my house when Todd's out of town. Then we can really talk about what goes on behind closed doors in our community! But seriously, keep your antics at a reasonable level and let us respectable citizens continue with our lives without having to deal with your...
shall we say... more liberal interpretation of social norms. MB> Remember when...
Oh dear Lord, did you really just go there? I can't even fathom what sort of behavior you're condoning now. Perhaps the next time you decide to let loose and embrace chaos, you might want to invite those less sensitive about maintaining order in our community.
As for me, I'll be having a nice quiet dinner with some light reading material (or so I tell myself). ANYWAY, back to being the pillar of propriety that our neighborhood needs. Don't expect me at any more of your wild parties, Miss Bonkers.
... Well, if you must know, I'm glad someone is willing to take their social life beyond the confines of a cookie-cutter subdivision. But let's not confuse "unhinged" with simply being outside one's comfort zone.
And please, keep me posted on any future events that might actually be worth my timelike a lecture series or an art exhibit. Oh wait, I'm forgetting myself again. You're probably more interested in the drama of watching paint dry than anything truly entertaining and educational.
Carry on with your nonsense, Miss Bonkers, and perhaps we'll meet at one of those "unhinged" gatherings... but don't count on it!
Warmly,
