Mary just called me from a party, laughing hysterically. Apparently, this is the conversation she just had (BEST. AWKWARD. PARTY. CONVO. EVER.) -
Girl at Party:
What do you do?
Mary:
I'm a blogger. I work for myself.
Girl at Party:
Just don't be Julia Allison about it.
Mary [starts laughing]:
Actually, she's my business partner.
Girl at Party:
Oh no, you're not a part of NonSociety, are you?
Mary [laughs harder]:
I'm one of the founders.
Girl at Party [turns to host, totally serious]:
Who are you FRIENDS with??
Girl at Party:
[drunken laughter] my best friend is James, he did NomSociety.
Mary:
We love that video.
Girl at Party:
Well, yeah, I love Gawker, oh shit, I'm sorry.
Mary:
Have fun at your day job. Excuse me, I have to make a phone call.

I added a few more details. This chick was hysterical. She tried so hard to be nice, but she was too drunk to be strategic. It's the best party conversation I've had in a long time! Rach, your birthday was the best!!
