Went to a friends BBQ today. He and his wife (and his inlaws, who are sort of a little intense, a little intimidating....but cool nonetheless) threw it. Good food all around. A lot of the people there were folks from my FORMER job (the cool folks..not the ones I hate) so it was neat hanging out with them again.
I gave a lift to one of my friends, this girl whom I had quite a crush (and sort of still do), but is totally in with this other guy (not a bad guy...just really lazy...and kinda doofy...I try not to like him...but he's not that bad...(which makes it a little worse...oh well)) ANYWAY. For the story, I'll refer to her as Cute Girl (or CG for short)
Another of my friedns brought his two little boys. They are the coolest little kids ever. When his car broke down last summer, I took em all to see Spider-man. They were so freaking cool, and such happy go lucky kids...
the first 1/3 rd of the party was cool. It was a beautiful day, the Food was incred, I got to meet more of my friends' family members, etc...
Then it kinda...........
......
...dragged on......
I wanted to go home........But it just dragged....and dragged....
Another work friend showed up (Morose Buddy = MB). A little back story...The night prior, he couldnt make it for my last day at work Gathering at the bar after work. Mainly becuase his girlfreind was involved in an accident that day...and was in the ER
I heard here and there from friends with cell phones that she woke up, and was OK in the end.
When he showed up to the party, MB looked totally crushed. He told me "I'm sorry I couldnt make it for your last day at work man..." and I was thinking, why is he apologizing?
"Dude, your girlfriend was int he ER! That's mroe important than a few beers after work!"
"If I knew what I knew now...I should have gone..."
Apparently, when she woke up, She started fighting with MB. When CG called him, to check up on the condition...She (hospitalized girlfriend) Started getting on his case, claiming that CG was calling him becuase "She missed him and wanted to be with him." When Hospitalized Girlfriend was allowed to leave the hospital...She left and went to "Harborfest" with her EX BOYFRIEND.
MB has been shit on by her for a long time. But he's a really nice guy who doens't know how to stand up for himself. I have a feeling that this was the straw that broke the camels back....
Anyway, things were pretty slow going for a while.... MB left after a few hours..I was ready to go home and contemplate that shit.... But I stuck around for a while (no good way to excuse myself came up...)
It got late, and CG's boyfriend got out of work. They went to pick him up (they don't have a car between them...) and she asked me if I could drive them home. I was thinking "Shit. YOU, I'd have no problem....but that guy...."
"Oh, sure" I said.
So we waited for him to show up...the sun is down...I wante dto leave...but said I'd drive em home...had to wait...
Things were excruciating....My old job came up in discussion often...last thing I wanted to do was talk about that....Mosquito's were eating us alive despite liberal amounts of "OFF" and burning Citronella Candles...I was standing, kind of looking like I was ready to get going....
But then...From out of nowhere....
Someone told a GHOST STORY...
I sat my ass down...a new fire burned inside me....I Fucking LOVE talking about Ghost stories....Holy FUck, it facinates me more than dreams, more than Art-Talk...GOD DAMN! Love Ghost stories...
Not The "Where's my Golden ARRRMMMM!" Crap. I'm talking acutal shit that people have expeireiced. LOVE THAT SHIT!!!!!
We talked about Ghosts, dreams, scary shit, Hallucinations...for another two hours....
then I drove CG and her Boyfriend home. At her place, she got out, (hugged me goodbye ) and was ready to go inside...Doofy boyfriend kept telling me about good cellphones and bad cellphones and jobs he's looking at to get away from his current job (selling cellphones)...I wanted to just say "YOUR GIRLFRIEND IS WAITING FOR YOUR DULL ASS, YOU INSENSITIVE JACKASS...."
And now I'm back home, typing in my SG journal.
Nice day, full of the good, the bad, the sad, the boring, the tedious, the utterly facinating...and the SG journal typing.
Night night Kiddies....
