I was hoping in this party video someone would mention her.

We're not sure she's OK, or with Tachyon.

OT, this video reminds me of that old Three Dog Night song, "Mama Told Me not to Come". Anyone as well-aged as I am know what I'm talking about?

I don't think there is any reason we should be concerned about Bree at the moment.

It would make sense if the "random person" is actually Alex's ex.

longlostposter wrote:...we are thinking it's not a random house or party, but a get-together of the Orderites. If Alex is Order, and Lucy is Order, and the house is an Orderite's house, then it makes perfect sense.

That too.

Megs, I think the way you do. So no probs.

You got it right the first time.

longlostposter wrote:ETA: Also, if he hung around Daniel all night, the posters would say they were gay.

Surely not. Why, whoever would say such a thing?

PixieSailor wrote:Why would you have a picture of your ex with another person in your house ages after the breakup - especially when people (and her) were over for a party?

Because you haven't gotten over her yet?

Or because you're still friends, even though you've broken up?

Hm. Another idea just occurred to me: maybe the relationship between Wine-In-Face Guy and Alex is more like the relationship between Daniel and Bree. Even though they're not involved, I could totally believe that Daniel would have a pic of Bree in his house. Also that he'd be jealous if Bree was hooking up with someone else -- especially a younger guy.

I still believe Alex is with the Order, but if I'm wrong (or even if I'm not), it could be interesting to see how a relationship like B&D's might play out when they get older. Maybe Alex and this guy (David?) are intended to serve as a parallel or counterpoint to Bree and Beast.

And OT: chevyfudd, I love your avvie as well.

Really? Hm. Maybe you should be a detective.

Is this uncommon? Maybe it is the artist/photographer in me... I have always been that way... That's why if you walk into my house, there is A LOT to look at!

No, I do it too, Joy. But it's not for artistic reasons (unless they have really beautiful art).

If I'm going to be partying, I want to access the surroundings so I feel safe. If I don't feel safe, I leave. It's been years since I partied like this, though.

You mean this?

Want some whiskey in your water
Sugar in your tea
What's all these crazy questions they askin' me
This is the craziest party there could ever be
Don't turn on the lights, 'cause I don't want to see

Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
That ain't the way to have fun, no

Open up the window
Let some air into this room
I think I'm almost chokin'
From the smell of stale perfume

And that cigarette you're smoking
'Bout scared me half to death
Open up the window, sucker
Let me catch my breath

[Refrain]
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
She said, that ain't the way to have fun, son
That ain't the way to have fun, son

The radio is blastin'
Someone's knocking at the door
I'm lookin' at my girlfriend
She's passed out on the floor

I seen so many things
I ain't never seen before
Don't know what it is
I don't wanna see no more

[Refrain]
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
She said, that ain't the way to have fun, son
That ain't the way to have fun, no

Mama told me, mama told me, mama told me
Told me, told me
That ain't no way to have fun, whoah, yeah yeah
Mama told me not to come
Mama, mama, mama told me
That ain't no way to have fun

That ain't the way to have fun, no
That ain't the way to have fun, son
That ain't the way to have fun, no
That ain't the way to have fun, son

Great song, Juli. I've always thought of it more as describing the kind of party where people are tokin' and getting high and puking on the floor -- but given that at this party, older women are handing 19-year-old boys their hotel room keys, I guess it could fit.

This is a very interesting, Lass. I never thought about it this way, but this is the kind of thing a good writer would do. Although I think Daniel is over Bree now <crosses fingers>.

lol, it's so sweet that you went to the trouble to find that. Three Dog Night were my favs when I was around 9 (oops, dating myself).

Yeah, well, it is about drugs, but drinking too. The point is, it's a weird party with a messed-up vibe. Right?

Phew! Glad I am not the only one. It has been about 3 years since I have gone to a part like that as well... The three dog night song brought up some memories that I was trying to forget... definitely not from drinking... maybe from LSD though...

So, um... should we go ahead and expect a three day wait before the next video???

JustAnotherLonelyGirl. · Thu Mar 15, 2007 8:15 pm

Okay, I rewatched the video and noticed a few things I hadn't before.

--When Beth introduces herself, the white-shirted man seems annoyed that she joined the conversation. She kind of just jumps in.
--Daniel calls it a "fashion industry" party, not a "fashion" party.
--Jonas just says "Alex" rather than "Aunt Alex."
--Jonas is really cute when the blonde lady kisses him and he looks at the camera and mouths "OH MY GOD."
--When Jonas says "I think that guy over there is a musician" the camera pans over to him and he grabs some girls shirt and she makes a face like "ew. perv.."

None of these are very important. I just noticed them and thought they were funny and/or strange.

I don't think that one is strange - especially since they're that close in age. Everyone in my family and my girlfriend's family just says their aunt or uncle's name when talking to or about them (and the age differences there range from 34 years to 17).

I do that too. I called them aunt or uncle when I was a kid, but as an adult... I don't.

I know. My friend calls her parents by their first names. I didn't think it was that weird, but I just thought I'd point it out, because people are questioning if Alex is really Jonas's blood-related aunt.
