gossip
so I got a little drunk at last weekend's halloween party (okay, more than a little, but that's another issue) and did some stupid funny stuff (okay, more stupid than funny but whatever). The problem now is that everyone in my office knows and keeps coming around... "feelin' alright, steph?" and all that. It is so not cool. Is there anything I can do to stop the gossip, or do I never get to live this down? Got any witty comebacks for me for when everyone's making fun of my oh-so-exciting performance?

Next party, just don't drink much. Show your mature side and still have fun, but don't go drinking a lot. There's not much you can do about the gossip...people are going to talk, even if you don't want them to.
Halloween was a while ago, and if they are still talking about this incident then they are the ones who are immature...and tell them that if it doesn't stop. They are the ones who can't let loose and have fun every once in while, so just ignore it.
Next party, act a little different as far as drinking goes...it will make you seem much more mature.

You can't stop gossip after it starts. Just don't drink next time and you won't have the problem.

Blackened has it right: you don't remove yourself from the gossip chain, you get replaced. But ignoring it helps.

a good comeback? when they say something like that get all moral, and say how you were wrong and how it has effected you, and how horrably assamed of yourself you are... what kind of person are you for doing that... that might freak them out and they'll probably feel bad so i think the talking will stop, you could also try just randomly bursting into tears, that might cause new gossip though.....

Don't act like it bothers you at all, if you do, it will just make things worse.

Nope. Depending on the severity of you're stupidity, chances are you'll never live it down. There is, however, something you can do that should shunt attention off you for awhile. Wait a few months, and get everyone else _really_ drunk at the christmas/new years partys. Hopefully, by January 1, you'll be yesterdays news.
