12/31 Field Report - New Year's Eve Party

My first field report (sort of). I just got back from a New Year's Eve party and wanted to jot down something I learned.

Mystery says never to drink alcohol when gaming--you want to keep your mind sharp. What I realized tonight is that you shouldn't eat either.

We got to the party and I basically ignored everyone (other than obligatory waving from across the room) so I could get some food. I walked into the dining room and before I could get to the table, a friend opened me and we started talking. I actually told her I wanted to talk to her more, but I had to get some food--I turned her down in favor of the food!

I got my plate and she had moved to a five set on the couches. I joined them, but spent most of the time eating. Then I got up to to get some more. Then I got up to get some more. Then I was thirsty. I spent so much time focussing on feeding my face that I hardly talked to anyone!

So, if you're going to sarge, make sure you've already eaten, quenched your thirst, and gone to the bathroom. You want to be focussed on other people, not yourself.

P.S. OK, so I used a lot of slang in this post. Eventually I'll be putting together my own guide, as I build my own network marketing/pua slang (like BFC=Broke Frustrated Chump). For now, you can use this site for reference for strictly PUA slang:

(also a good website for general PUA info)
