It's getting midnight and earlier this day at noon til now, the party is still going on at our neighbor's house... If only we are close, I can get there right in and give in to those food in there... Oh well, I'm just imagining if I would be there and they would say those lines in my title... which is shocking! If I would have the guts to get there cause we don't have food in the house, I would. but I'm a bit shy, you know! How bout you guys, have you done something shocking or just in the thoughts?^_^

that's fine as long as you limit the ideas in your thoughts. that would be so embarrassing to go there if you are not invited. And yes, most probably you will hear the words in your title. I'm not a party goer to be honest and even if I am invited, I still need to decide whether I should go or not. I like food too and who of us don't like it? but for the sake of formality, I always try to eat just enough. I'm a bit conscious of what other people would say especially if I don't know them. It never came into my mind to be one of the invited persons whenever there is a party in the neighborhood.

Haha, yeah, it does feel shameful to come to a party when you are not invited. Yeah, if people can be really frank, they would ask those words in my title. And it would be really rude and shameful feeling how you will react on this question... I also am not a party goer. Same like you, I always ask myself whether to go or not when I am invited. I guess it depends how I feel to a certain person who invited me. If I am close to that person, I would rather go, if it's a relative quite close, I can go too, but if not, there will always be chances of 50-50...hehehe For sure, there will be reasons why you have to go there or so. If you want to have fun, it doesn't matter if you're close to the person or not, as long as you are invited and you have friends with you who are close to you in the party...

I don't know maybe they are not good with inviting strangers. but they should because they won't have a chance to go at your party just in case. I do recall being invited by our neighbor when ever they have a party of sorts.,

Hello LK, well, people are different. Not all are inviting and can welcome neighbors. Of course, it would be great to have such invitations, cause you can feel welcomed. But I guess it's better to distance away if you are not invited. Let them insist to invite you. Specially if there are only few food for few people only.

It would not be bad if you just slip in there and introduce yourself that you are a neighbor. After all we are human species, then it would be nice if you say what you feel, they may show you maximum attention and try to share what you feel. Anyway you are spending your time immagining. Then as you immagine you just walk to reach them

Yeah, srjac! you are right! I may have to stop imagining and get right there. But the party's over now...so, there's no reason to get there! Oh well, I'm sure people want to entertain more of those who they knew when it comes to parties like that. specially, their place can't occupy too much people, so it would be a shameful thing if i sneek in right there when all people are being squeezed out already!

Maybe if you just introduce yourself you might be welcomed by them.

Hello PQ, well, for some reasons, one guy who lives there was my schoolmate and batchmate in highschool days, but we never did get a chance to talk even if we are neighbors. We are not close,really. And we never even greated or even smiled at each other when we see each other in the streets....That's just it. Not all neighbors are welcome-friendly-people, you know. Anyways, how will you introduce yourself and what taglines would you choose if you were in such situation?

yes of course , we all enjoy the party food, its more of exciting , as long as they wont recognize/see us. Such chance never came to me, otherwise i would have definitely tried it. Once in college , we went to one of my friends relatives party, we don't know anyone there, all were asking my friend about us, i was some what embarrassing , but still we enjoyed the party was really awesome and good food too.

Hello prashu! yeah, it would be nice if all are welcome and people won't recognize much because of too many people around... What a shocking incident, I may say! LOL It seems like it's really an embarrassing situation if I were in your shoe as well, I would feel like wishing I would become invisible just to be able to eat something.... It does feel good when you ar e having fun and being in a party where there are delicious food and good music is a plus. Just not to mention who you know and who's party is it...

I may say, yes, I have done something shocking already. I can relate in this discussion. Because I have been a gate crasher one time in my life, it was my best friend's friend wedding, though I know them by name, my friend urged me to be with her. I was ashamed by that time, but I managed to be there, from start to finish. Though it was kind of shameful to be there, still, I had fun. It was an unforgettable event for me. Thanks.
