Party Etiquette

1. Clap happily while the birthday boy blows out his candles. (That's me in the middle there, clapping.)








2. When the birthday boy finishes with the candles, scratch your lip with your thumb, BUT MAKE SURE IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE PICKING YOUR NOSE.





3. Obsessively blog about it and post a detail of you in the nosepick picture, THEREBY PROVING THAT YOU WERE NOT PICKING YOUR NOSE.














4. Smile! You're in a picture with your friend Matt. That's swell.








5. Loosen up, Girly. Take off your glasses.










6. Pet the doggy that belongs to the owner of the loft where the party is being held.








7. Pet him more! DO IT! Really get down there and pet him. Ignore everything else, including the funny awesome haha that is going on right in front of you. Social graces, be damned. The petting of this dog is important. Don't disappoint me, Sarah. (You can clickyclicky on the photos if you'd like to see them in their original size. Or you could have popcorn and talk on the phone, instead. I would.)
