What Does It Mean, Craig?

I heard through a mutual friend of ours that you had a party last Saturday. But I don't remember you inviting me or mentioning it to me. The thing is, Craig, you wouldn't want to come, would you? It's not parties that they're not your type of thing, are they? Well, the thing is, I wanted to go, but I didn't want to just arrive without being invited. Our next colloquial expression is kind of or sort of. Although I shouldn't really say it that way, because what you're probably going to hear is kind of andsort.
