I changed my mind a hundred times about actually going to the party. I told myself I said I’d go just to shut Barry up and that was more than half true. Then I’d think about the incredulous look on Chad’s face when someone told him they saw me at a Boy Toys party and that alone would make the whole evening worthwhile.

But I wouldn’t buy anything, God no…I wouldn’t even enjoy myself if everyone there was paired up with Mr. Perfect and I had to settle for Greg’s cousin Marty.
