Mary: "'Have fun at your day job' is suuuuch an awesome insult coming from me."

  • 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!!
