1. What kind of parties do you like to attend? - I like small get-together kind of parties.

2. Do you play games? Which ones? Are you any good at them? - I do play them all the time with my grandson. He loves games! I'm good at Connect Four, Backgammon and Dominos.

3. What was the best party experience you've ever had? The worst? - The worse was most likely YEARS ago. It was my nursing school Graduation party. I had waaaaay too much to drink and I was sick for two days.

4. Do you feel snacks are an important part of a party? What do you like to munch on? - Well I'm a foodie, so of course I think snacks are important. Chips and Salsa is always a winner.

5. Have you ever thrown a wild party while your parents were out of town? What happened? - As teens my sister and I threw a wild party by accident, lol. It started small and then got out of hand. One minute we were playing music and dancing with a few friends over and the next thing we had traffic backed up all the way to the main street near our house. I remember both of our boyfriends at the time had to regulate. No smoking, yelling or fighting in the house! I still can't believe my Dad slept through all of that.

1. What kind of parties do you like to attend?

It depends on my mood and the people around me.

2. Do you play games? Which ones? Are you any good at them?

Good? I thought it was about luck! LOL.

Any kind of game could do.

3. What was the best party experience you've ever had? The worst?

The times where I drank so much and didn't remember anything afterwards weren't funny!

I don't think I have had any particularly good experience...

4. Do you feel snacks are an important part of a party? What do you like to munch on?

Not necessarily. I like french potatoes, though.

5. Have you ever thrown a wild party while your parents were out of town? What happened?

Haven't been the one with the most friends at school, so no.

1. What kind of parties do you like to attend?

I like all kinds of parties. Small, big, in-between, it's all good.

2. Do you play games? Which ones? Are you any good at them?

I do like to play games. Stuff like Pictionary, Trivial Pursuit, stuff like that. Or, remember the limbo? That used to be big at parties. LOL

3. What was the best party experience you've ever had? The worst?

The best has to be a party in L.A. maybe 5 years ago. with my then-boyfriend. It was an opening of an art exhibit at a gallery featuring works by and about Hunter S. Thomson, and who showed up but Johnny Depp! There were a few other celebrities, too, but we didn't know their names. Oh wait, yeah, Anjelica Houston was there.

4. Do you feel snacks are an important part of a party? What do you like to munch on?

Sure, parties need stuff like chips, nuts, M&Ms.

5. Have you ever thrown a wild party while your parents were out of town? What happened?

No, but my kids did!

1. What kind of parties do you like to attend?

I'm with Barb. Big, small, doesn't matter, I like them all.

2. Do you play games? Which ones? Are you any good at them?

Not really. We do play one game sometimes at our parties. It's called a horse race game. Too hard to explain on here.

3. What was the best party experience you've ever had? The worst?

When the guys had their civil union. We had two parties and I didn't have to cook or clean up! The caterers did it all! That was my favorite.

It's a toss up for the worst party experience. The first one was a New Year's Eve Party friends of ours had. No music was being played. Everyone was sitting in the family room, watching Dick Clark's NY's Rocking Eve or something. We finally could take no more, so another friend who lived down the street ran home and got a cd player, and a few of us huddled around it in the dining room listening to cd's. We made our own party.

The next involves Halloween parties thrown by another set of friends. Again, no music except some music channel on tv, turned down very low. The hosts are ALWAYS sick. So, therefore they put no effort into their costumes and they're miserable. The night usually ends with the bulk of guests sitting in the kitchen playing poker. I vowed to to never again go to one of their parties.

4. Do you feel snacks are an important part of a party? What do you like to munch on?

Yes, very much so. If people are going to be drinking, I want them to eat. We always have appetizers, a few entrees, desserts and coffee. But the bottom line in this house is, if you don't have a designated driver and you have been drinking, I don't care how much you eat or how many cups of coffee you have, you aren't leaving!

5. Have you ever thrown a wild party while your parents were out of town? What happened?

Yes, I was 21 I think. We were at a rock club around the corner from my house. When the club was going to be closing, a few friends still wanted to hang out. I suggested my house. So, there we went. Next thing you know, I think the entire club pretty much ended up there. My parents were working nights at the casino at the time and fortunately everyone cleared out within a couple of hours. I had more than enough time to clean up, which wasn't bad at all and get the trash out.

1. What kind of parties do you like to attend? - Small ones. I don't like a lot of people.

2. Do you play games? Which ones? Are you any good at them?-I love playing games...I play a lot of different ones, and I can be good at them.

3. What was the best party experience you've ever had? The worst?-Cast parties were always the best. The worst was one of my friend's birthday party and he had all his friends mixed, and it was super awkward.

4. Do you feel snacks are an important part of a party? What do you like to munch on?-They are essential. I like to munch on cheetos.

5. Have you ever thrown a wild party while your parents were out of town? What happened?-I would not call it "wild". I don't allow drinking at my house. We played "Clue" and just hung out.

^ LOL, an invitation just came in the mail today for this party.

[Refugee 7]

1. What kind of parties do you like to attend? - I like small get together type parties.

2. Do you play games? Which ones? Are you any good at them? - Depends on the company, sometimes we play UNO, Trivial Pursuit, etc...I love both games mentioned and yes, I am good at both of them.

3. What was the best party experience you've ever had? The worst? - Wow. Back in my youth, the best party experience I had was a friends going away party we threw. People still talk about it to this day, lol. It was so much fun...sex, drugs and rock-n-roll, what can I say?

The worst, was a Friday night party at our local "Animal House", I got SOOO drunk, puked the night away. Actually, ended up in the ER with alcohol poisoning. That night's experience opened up my eyes. Probably why I can't stand drinking or people who do overdo it to this day.

4. Do you feel snacks are an important part of a party? What do you like to munch on? - Yes, I do. I think little bowls of popcorn, pretzels, chips and dip (salsa), cookies and relish tray work for me.

5. Have you ever thrown a wild party while your parents were out of town? What happened? - Yep, I sure did. The one wild party I mentioned in question #3. Funny thing was, me and my friends cleaned up the house too good, my mom knew right away something was wrong, lol. Busted!

1. What kind of parties do you like to attend? Backyard BBQ pool parties with beer!

2. Do you play games? Which ones? Are you any good at them? Love card games - especially Spades. My friend Lisa and I are the best spades team in the universe!

3. What was the best party experience you've ever had? The worst? The best parties are a mix of good & bad. I'd say backyard blowout 2004 wins both.

4. Do you feel snacks are an important part of a party? What do you like to munch on? Yes. Lots of food so you can party all day and all night. Veggie burgers for me, and anything that my mom cooks - she likes to feed an army.

5. Have you ever thrown a wild party while your parents were out of town? What happened? Yes! My sister and I had one just last year, and the funniest/worst thing that happened was that someone broke the diving board. (BTW-we're both in our early 30s, and yes we still have parties when our parents go out of town!)

[Sugar 0]

I like a casual get together with friends. We all bring some food and just visit or play some games.

I like Texas Hold 'Em.

I had a fun time at my mom's bday/Christmas party. Her birthday is on Christmas eve, she throws a good party. Worst...a bday party for my daughters friends at an amusement park. No enough interacting with friends, just walking around the park.

Snacks are very important. I LOVE chips and salsa.

Nope, my parents were the wild party throwers.
