co-ed sleepover June 10, 2008

I don’t think I’ve had one since Prom, but I had one Friday night. Or rather, it was called a “sleepover”, but really we all just hung out until 5:30 in the morning, then half of us passed out and the other half cleaned up and went home. Conclusion:

Positives– Any sexual tension has already been put on the table and diffused well before the event because, for God’s sake, we’re all adults here; no concerns that we will be “caught drinking”; people clean up after themselves

Negatives– No awkward sexual tension; no adrenaline rush out of fear of being caught drinking; no parents to clean up after us.

yb (who is sitting next to me as I post this; or did I just break the fourth wall!?) suggests there should be a different word for such an “adult sleepover”; sort of like how Bassie and her friends have “sleepunders”, where they all hang out in pajamas from 6-8 PM, and then go home.

Any suggestions?
