Does this make me really shallow?
« on: Saturday, January 13, 2007, 06:28:50 PM »
I'm having a huge party in a few hours, and I'm seriously concerned by the fact that I have two blemishes on my face.  I feel like a freak or something.  I think I'd handle this kind of thing better if I had acne as a teen or something, but now every time I get any type of blemish (for some reason my mind differentiates a skin issue with a scar, cut, wound, or anything else that might appear on my face) I actually worry about how people are going to think I'm diseased or something. 

Fuck, one's a tiny bump and the other is just a (pretty dark) red mark (I actually have no idea where that came from...I may have been hit with something at work).  Does this make me a pussy or shallow?

Do you think there is even the slightest chance that he will?

I know how you feel. When you are younger and that sorta thing happens, it is still defend able since about a gazillion other peers are in that situation. Also why do these things freakin' happen when before an important social event?

Makeup no good.  I don't think I could ever do it.

Didn't even think about it until I saw this thread actually, so I guess it was no big deal.

As for the party, it was pretty sweet.  Cops came around 1:00, talked them down reasonably and there wasn't a problem after that.  The third and final keg ran out at about 4:00, which was a lot later than I expected, and I made a couple hundred and didn't even have to clean because one of my roommates basically has obsessive compulsive disorder and it was done before I woke up.  Generally it was pretty good.

The only bad part was that the chick from the other thread was there and kept on shooting me weird ass looks that I'd catch out of the corner of my eye...but I successfully ignore the problem until I was drunk enough to make the mistake of walking into a room with just her and her sister in it, whom she introduced and I thought about taking down for about 2 min.  At that point I realized that I might actually kind of like this girl even though I know I really shouldn't and I really don't want to, so a few min. later I took her aside, and pretended like I'm a much better person than I am, thanking her for the call the other day saying it was a really upstanding thing to do (basically tricking her into thinking I'm that naive).

After a boring ass conversation I snuck away, fairly determined to completely avoid her until she goes away at the start of the month.  About 30 min after that I'm talking to her friend who lets it slip that the girl 'really likes me' but doesn't want to start anything right before she goes away.  I'd like to point out that I've been given like 3 or four different stories like this by the girl, her friend, her roommate, and another friend without asking or so much as bringing it up.  So I pretend to be a bit let down but act like I don't really care (in reality: not really let down, pissed off that this keeps coming up over like 3 months).  I can see her right now basically 20 min. away from making out with a guy I went to high school with.  I know this guy, we went to school together.  I wouldn't say I don't like him, but he's a chump.  If categories of people were divided into divisions, he'd strictly be division three.  And then it dawned on me; I don't actually care about this girl, it's just other people keep bringing it up and after which I feel like I'm losing at something and I can't stand it.  That coupled with the fact that I've realized that my current lifestyle of having 'girls on the go' and getting shit faced bombed 2 nights a week is very self-destructive, tired, and old and I felt like I needed a change.  However, you can't really force these things, they have to come naturally. Look over, and they're now about 10 min. from making out and I feel like a loser.  And that's when the old me came out.


Step One: Pound beer until kegs are done.
Step Two: Steal Beer from fridge and bottles from rooms
Step Three: Get friend's ex-girlfriends little sister's phone number. Already make decision to never call it.
Step Four: Get 2 roommates and convince them that we really should open one of the bottles of Guaro that they just brought back from traveling.
Step Five: Finish the bottle
Step Six: Walk into your room to find friend making out on your bed with his girlfriend.  Actually, under the covers.  Turn on the light and sit in disk chair and tell them they might as well keep going because you're not leaving.  Run away when they call your bluff mumbling about how they owe you some sheets.
Step Seven: Walk into living room to see roommate smash chair against wall until it breaks.  Notice how all the girls are sort of scared.  Convince him we need to burn the evidence.
Step Eight: ? ? ? ? ? ?
Step Nine: Go to sleep in nicely made bed.  That was solid of them.
Step Ten: Wake up really depressed and decide that maybe you do have to force some changes.

Your evenings are so much more eventful than mine were.  When I used to drink with the guys and such, it was a great deal more simplistic.

Step One: Get some beer.
Step Two: Get some Jack in the Box (i.e. exceedingly greasy and delicious fast food).
Step Three: Do 3 to 5 shots/gulps of Seagram's or Jack or Kessler or Jameson/Bushmills/whatever.
Step Four: Eat, enjoy beer, and... eat.
Step Five: Watch friends begin to get idiotic and make far too much noise.
Step Six: Worry about neighbors waking and complaining, even though they never do.
Step Seven: Drink more beer until vision gets funny.
Step Eight: Watch idiot friends throw chocolate malt balls at each other, then spill them all over the driveway.
Step Nine: Watch idiot friends do whip-its -- join in if better judgment has been silenced by enough beer.
Step Ten: Pass out wherever someone hasn't passed out already.

Ah, youth.  I've gotten so much more responsible its scary.  Though really I was never really that irresponsible.  I just sort of hung out while everyone else was.  I kind of miss it.  Those guys were obscenely entertaining, and they never did anything worse than getting malt balls all over the driveway.  Small price to pay for watching your friends slip on candy and roll down into the street.

I suppose I need to develop my own ten-step program to a successful drunken night. Drunken post tomorrow night with the results.

For some reason I can't stop reading gpw's stories like these. I mean it really brings in a facet of personality that kinda fascinates me and that I will never know about. Like my idea of a night with friends is pretty much what Que's idea is. But your so much socially involved on so many levels its really interesting and a tad spooky, not to sound like I'm ragging on you. I mean if anything you prove you have much more balls than I do in social situations. Your narrative shows how scary social politics can get, I almost want to put you on film and have you just speak your mind in these environments as you pretty much put to shame every soap opera and drama show out there with great wit and clever charisma. Kudos to you, now lets make a profit with this.

I should point out that I usually do these things when I'm feeling self-destructive.  I don't think it's really a good thing.  I should also still point out that I still kind of feel like a loser and now realize that I should have gone with my gut instinct and never paid any attention to this girl when everyone was saying she liked.  Then, when I went against that I should have followed my second gut instinct and never have called her after getting her number.  "She really likes you."  Yeah, well apparently she fucking doesn't. 

Sorry, that kind of just slipped out.

GPW. you sound and look so much like my cousin it's starting to really freak me out.  I think it's time you played opposites.

Wow.. my ten step thing is totally boring and diff i guess for when i'm hosting a party

Step One: Start cooking and make sure there's enough food for everyone and enough variety so everyone has something to eat when they all start arriving
Step two: Dress up and welcome them and make sure everyone is comfortable.
Step Three: take out the drinks, food etc.. make sure everyone has plates, utensils.
Step Four: music is fine, lights are fine, no one's moping
Step Five:  Escape into somewhere where i can be alone and observe everyone, with a little plate of finger food or just a drink. 
Step Six:  Figure out why I invited some of these people.. figure out who not to invite because they ALWAYS bring someone i don't want and who's totally not on the list.
Step Seven:  Get some of the guests to put up a show or just some sort of fun and entertainment
Step Eight: disappear again with excuse of "being busy, need to see to other guests."  But again, hideaway with another drink (most of the time, i go for cold juice or iced tea or just water.. not a fan of soda) and swear to myself to never invite some people ever ever again.
Step Nine:  Ensure party ends early and everyone goes home feeling like it ended too soon and they had a jolly good time.  Get the person i can't stand out as fast as possible.
Step ten: Sigh of relief when everyone leaves... swear never to do that again... shower and call it quits..

I'd say my partying in college most closely resembled GPW's although possiblty with a little less girl drama and a little more property damage and beer fighting.

I don't so it much anymore though, all of my friends are either married, lame, far away or some combination of the three.

My ten steps are mostly filled with masturbating.

You should write a book on all your misadventures. It'd sell out, Oprah would love it and you'd be rich.

I'm not going to lie;

Once every day or so I still stop for a second and think "what the fuck?!  That guy?  And what the hell was with the phone call? Does she think I'm some kind of chump?" 

and then I just remember how she said she goes through like 6 phones a year and how she figures Mick Jagger must have run at least 60 km during the Rolling Stones concert and I kind of chuckle.  And then I think about how the first time I went out with her I was in the mindset that I was just going through motions to not be a dick and I didn't hold the door open for her or even move for it....and I laugh really really hard.

I still don't like feeling like a loser when I think about it though.
