Attended another Halloween party. Quite a large gathering, in fact. The three kegs got finished with all due speed, and the house where the party was proceeded to get turned upside-down as drunken revelers hunted for alcohol. I mostly drank and tried to engage friends in one-on-one conversation, which of course didn't work due to the circumstances - parties are, by definition, large gatherings, so isolation is not an option. However, the lack of true contact left me cold.
