College Party

I was leaving a school event when a truck full of guys stopped to shout at me,"Hey! Party at Smith's Marketplace!"
"Party at Smiths?" I replied surprised, and slightly confused.
"Yeah! Smith's Marketplace, come!"
My first reaction was, "What kind of crazy-faced party would that be!?"
I laughed... but then thinking on the truck load of normal (which happens to be the opposite of crazy-faced) boys.I glanced at my phone, it was only 11:30, and I thought why not? The night is still young!
I hopped into my car, pulled out of the parking terrace, and drove straight to Smiths Marketplace.

I'm certain you're thinking along the same lines I was. That this was a "party" at Smiths... one of those random things that spreads. While it can be fun, it invariably results in mass numbers of students clogging up the isles, chilling in the store, and upsetting the managers.This; however, wasn't a "party" it was a PARTY!
We had to show our student ID to get in through the door, and to obtain a raffle ticket. Because, yes, there was a raffle. There was also a cakewalk and all kinds of items put on sale. This was a party that had been organized by Smiths!
As I wandered around the store, filled with students shopping and playing,I picked up a few groceries and decided; I LOVE COLLEGE.

Universal Truth Number Five
Pay special heed to what your cookies tell you

Need an explanation for that one? Earlier that same day I received a free fortune cookie. (Don't you just love food that can talk to you!?)
My fortune read, "You will attend an unusual party and meet someone important"
As my roomate and I were driving home, I realized, if there was ever an unusual party, that was it... unfortunately, I didn't take the time to meet a single person. I should have paid better attention to what my cookie was telling me.

I found it to be brilliant. I'd use them on the ladies all the time if I weren't so shy. Maybe one day I'll be brave. I already know what I'm gonna say too.... Are you a parking ticket? Cause you've got FINE written all over you!?! Don't ya think it's golden?

This is a test of the Emergency Pick Up Line Service. Beeeeeeep.
If you had been any less good-looking, you would have just heard a bad pick up line.

Well would it work if I just came up to you and picked you up? You weigh only like zero pounds and I work out ya know. Or would we have to be standing on a line for that to work?

Truthfully, I'd probably just be confused. I wouldn't catch your clever pun, I'm just not bright enough for your level of compliments and conversation starters.
