Best of 2011
It was time for the cast party, and I was not enthused. Things like that have a way of taking me back to middle school—I stand in the corner while the cool kids drink beer and dry-hump. Standard awkward white-boy shit. As I took my seat by the radiator, the song ended, and there was nothing queued up to follow. Thinking I’d make the middle school picture complete, I put on “What Would You Do?” by City High.
To my surprise, the dancers started singing along, reciting the story of a young girl forced into stripping to support her family: “What would you do if your son was at home/Cryin’ all alone on the bedroom floor...” With no one stopping me, I played “Hot in Herre,” then “Let Me Blow Ya Mind” by Eve and a pre-Harajuku Gwen Stefani.“Where have you been all my life?” some girl called. People were dancing and I was the reason. As I slid into “Family Affair” by Mary J. Blige, I was beginning to have, dare I say, fun up on it in this dancery.
Then came the hateration. An agitated girl, tall, blonde, and drunk, was powering toward me through the dancers. She looked like Jane Lynch, but moved like Dwight Howard in the paint. In seconds she had boxed me out and was tapping at the laptop.
“Excuse me, but...” I said.
“THIS ISN’T WORKING!” she yelled at my face.
“I think people were actually enjoying the...”
“I DO THIS FOR A LIVING!” she screamed.
Suddenly, the song had shifted, and there was nothing I could do. My newfound nemesis was huddled over the laptop, staring into the eyes of Kanye West as if they contained a message only professional DJs could decipher.
As the party became an ocean of indistinguishable techno, I slunk away, pondering my lost glory. If only my seventh-grade self had been able to see me! How carelessly I had let it slip, how callously it had been taken! I permitted myself a moment of sweaty pity. For her, it was just a good time, but for me, it was what I called life.
