Yeah, for every party person their is a co-dependent support network that let's them slide on their stupid and bad behaviour. I had a friend (still do and she's not partying as hard any longer as she's become a responsible mother...I hope) who couldn't resist the need to go, go, go when it came to partying and extreme experiences. I helped her out a couple of times but didn't really have a lot of fun a lot of the time when I joined her.

Her and her friends would show up and if they got bored (which was frequently) they would do things like toss things in the jacuzzi, start a table on fire, take an extra pill, use lit cigarettes to burn half-assed Tao symbols in the couch, etc. (Okay, that last one is an exaggeration but you get where I'm going with this...I hope.)

On the bright side, they would often have snuggle-fests too. However, I never joined them because there was always at least one or two people in her cliche that I just could not stand.

I finally woke up to how unhealthy this behaviour was when I invited her to a party at a mansion that a friend was the caretaker for. It was a lot of musicians and she didn't know anyone, got bored (I admit that I was little help) and tried to light the stairway on fire, poured booze in the hot tub, etc. The only reason I caught her trying to light the stairs on fire and had to ask her to leave. Very embarrassing.
