Stupid F*ing Drama 1/24/2004
I had told Ashley at mini mall that Friday afternoon that I wanted to hang out with her. She was like "Oh you're definitely hanging out with us, but let me just talk to my house first and see what they're doing." Then I said, "OK, well call me when you guys figure out what you're doing." She replies, "Well I have a lot of things to do today so you should call me." OK...because I have nothing to do either...but whatever.
I was really psyched about Friday night. I was going to hang out with my friends, Chris said he'd be out...it was supposed to be a great night. But no...I IMed Ashley asking what she was doing, and she IMs me at eight o'clock I don't know what we're doing yet. OK fine. So I go out to an Applebees dinner with the girls in my apartment and we stay til about nine o'clock. I spoke to Corinne who said she wanted to go out and that I come over to her house at ten. I called her at nine-thirty and she says, "Listen, I haven't showered or gotten dressed yet. I figure we'll first go downtown around one o'clock." Now, I'm all in favor for staying out late but I hate going out after midnight. There's no point. The bars are only open til three and they start emptying out around two-thirty. I had nothing to pregame with, which meant I was going to be sitting around my apartment til one am. I thought it was a dumb idea and basically told Corinne so. We agreed to leave at eleven thirty, and Corinne's boyfriend Drew agreed to drive us downtown.
Ashley never got back to me, and as it turns out, no-one in her house went out and they decided to stay in and watch a movie. Which is fine, but it would be nice if she had told me so. I would not have minded just hanging out with them and watching a movie. Despite my entries, I really do have fun just sitting around and hanging out with my friends. Ashley and her house, however, remembered to call Erin and invite her over. I don't mean to sound like a petty bitch, but it would be nice if people would remember to call me back or ::GASP:: invite me over instead me having to constantly ask. I sometimes just feel really left out by my friends.
Bridget called me soon after I got off the phone with Corinne. Bridget pledged with us for a few weeks last year, then dropped out. Lauren and Nicole always told me that Bridget is a fake bitch, but apparently I need to get screwed over to believe. She had invited me to live with her last semester, which I would've loved because apparently it's a beautiful house, and then when I would press her for details, she would just not talk about it. Don't ask people to live with you, tell them you'll get a copy of the future lease for them to sign, and then drop the subject entirely without explanation. That's just shady.
It seems that she never really talks to me unless she needs something. Like, she's never asked me to go out downtown with her before. She calls me last night, asking to meet up with me downtown or pick me up and drive me downtown. I had IMed her before, asking to use her biology book, since mine's not arriving til Tuesday and we have an assignment due Monday. So she says, "Tell you what...I'll let you borrow the book if you come downtown with me." OK, fine. No problem. It turns out that she needed my ID to get not one, but three of her underage friends in. Mary Beth, one of my friends, was checking ID's and basically allowed the three 'Elissa's' to get into the bar. Mary Beth hates Bridget, and would reject Bridget even if Bridget had an actual ID. Bridget knows this, which is whay I got the phone call. Bridget also knows that I need her book. All I have to say is that Bridget better live up to her end of the deal or else I'm going to be mighty pissed. Mary Beth could've lost her job by letting those girls in for me.
I don't know...I like to believe in the goodness of people but a lot of times I just get disappointed. I really would've liked to believe that Bridget invited me to live with her because she liked me. Now I'm beginning to think that she just needed someone to fill up that spot in the house, which apparently got filled by someone else. I would've liked to believe that Bridget really wanted to hang out with me last night, but it became obvious that I was being used. I think she said less than a dozen words to me once she and her friends were inside. And I'll feel even worse if I don't get to study off of her book because now I asked Mary Beth to do a dangerous favor for me for nothing.
So that realization that Bridget really is a scumbag started off my night. The other thing that happened was that we were in Sports Bar. Everyone just hangs out and plays pool, and listens to old Rolling Stones songs...which is cool, but not on a Friday night. Plus, Drew was being a dick. He didn't like large crowds apparently (so why even go downtown...?) and was refusing to go to the Rat. And since he was our ride, it posed as a serious problem. Corinne was just being annoying. She kept talking about her ex-boyfriend, who broke up with her over the summer. Sweetheart, he doesn't want you!!! He obviously doesn't deserve you if he broke up with you...so why fixate on it? He's had half a dozen girlfriends since her. And yedt, she keeps plotting to 'get him back.' It just sounded so pathetic. I mean, once Chris and I break up, I'm not going to go around bars, asking his friends where he is, like Corinne does with her ex, Steve. It just wasn't fun. She's totally using this guy Drew, who's an absolute sweetheart to her. I mean, if she really has no attraction for him, fine, but then let him know it. Instead, she uses him for rides, weed, and computer help.
Finally, at one am, we left Sports Bar. I truly hate Sports Bar. I want to pound my head in a wall with boredom when I'm there. The Rat, we found out later, was having a two-for-one special that night. So with the little money that I did have, I actually drank at The Rat. they have disgusting beers at Sports Bar and over-priced drinks, which I wasn't paying money for. I mean, why bother spend my last remaining money on a tiny over-priced drink that I'm not going to feel anyway?? But whatever...things have to be done Corinne's way or no way, so we missed out at the Rat because she's fucking stubborn.
After paying the cover charge to get in, Corinne decides that she doesn't want to go to the Rat and wants to leave. That's just absolute bullshit. My friends don't understand the word 'compromise.' I spent over an hour in a bar that I hated because Corinne wanted to be there. Then, once we get to the bar I wanted to go to, she acts like a brat and refuses to dance or even walk around. She just stood there. Drew was being a pain because 'he doesn't like crowds.' So now, the cover charge was a waste because we had barely spent twenty minutes in there. I saw Chris a few minutes later, and he totally blew me off. He kept looking somewhere else when I was trying to talk to him and was just treating med like this unwanted chick. Maybe I am...maybe I'm more like Corinne than I thought....He left a few minutes later. I asked Corinne for the last time to dance, instead of standing there like a tree stump. She refused and said, "Hey let's go back to Sports Bar." I walked out and left. I had had enough of everyone. At this point I'd rather be alone. She called me to wait for her but I kept walking. She called me later that night and was pissed that I 'ran out' on her, but too fucking bad. I'm no-one's puppy they're just going to pull around.
I ended up hanging out in Maria's room until three am smoking weed. It chilled me out a little so I slept pretty well last night, but now I'm just as pissed as before. I can't believe I have another year and a half to go...I can't believe that these are supposed to be the best years of my life...
