get down tonite!

last nite, i had the opportunity to see a "dear old friend of mine". that's how my friend talks. he calls everyone his "dear old friend". i've know my friend, Riyad, for over 10 years now. and though i haven't seen him in over five years, we keep in touch through occassional emails and he remembers me for invites.

back in the day, i used to like to pretend that i was some sort of "high society" and that's why i would get invited to his "soiree's". i was nothing but a pee-on, who didn't even have business cards at that time! but it's fun to play dress-up, right? i went to so many great parties that Riyad either hosted or invited me to. formal parties. i mean, these people went all out! for a while, i had so many formal dresses, that co-workers would ask to borrow them for cruises or christmas parties, etc. yes, my dresses were that cool! =)

i'm glad i went last nite. i had a lot of fun. met some cool people. of course, being a school nite, i had always planned to leave no later than 9:30 or 10:00. it's a shame we had to leave so early, tho. it seemed like the party started "kickin" right when we were wrapping up to leave. good music from the dj... everybody on the dance floor. i'm sure Riyad had a very happy birthday!
