So this was a pretty shitty day...
Bears wanted to drag me to some Pagan event in Berkeley, with her witchy hippie friends. Naturally, I didn't want to go, but I knew I would never hear the end of it, so I said I'd go.
The plan was, we would get up, watch the Cal vs. Arizona game on tv, then to to Berkeley, and catch a movie (Antichrist) before the festivities. The festivities included a meal, called a Dumb Supper, followed by some sort of ritual to honor the recently departed.
Bears wanted to cook something for the Dumb Supper, so I took her to the store on the way home from work yesterday. But she decides against cooking last night, and instead, left it for today. As the morning hours are passing, Bears is not getting out of bed. I let her sleep in, so she could do her own thing.
Finally, she gets up. Does she let me keep sleeping while she cooks her meal? Of course not! She wakes me up three seperate times, for no good reason. Finally, I give up and get out of bed to watch the Cal game. Bears is still cooking though, so I can't watch it until she's done. As a result, we only get through the first quarter.
It's about an hour before we have to leave, so Bears decides to go in the shower. For reasons I'll never understand, she decides that she wants to be the only clean-shaven witch in the city of Berkeley - and she spends over an hour in the shower! Result: we're late, and I miss my movie. There's another movie starting a little bit later though, so we buy tickets for that one (Paris). But before we go in, she asks when the movie gets out - 7:17, and the Dumb Supper starts at 7:00.
She knows I'm already pretty annoyed, so she says that we can just skip the meal and go to the movie instead. But she's been looking forward to this for a while, and the food she just cooked was waiting in the car. Not wanting to spoil things for her, I get a refund, and we left. Not having anything to do, we wander around Berkeley for a while, before heading to the Unitarian Universalist Church, where the event was to be held.
We get there about 15 minutes early, but there is already a crowd gathering. For some reason though, they won't let anyone inside! Everyone is standing around in the cold, smoking like a bunch of hippie chimmeys - personally, I wait in the car. Finally, they start letting people in about twenty after seven (gee, we could have gone to see 'Paris' afterall). I walk in and go to where the food is, to put down the bottles of wine we brought. In the back of my mind, I notice it's rather quiet for some reason, but I fail to give it any thought. Then, I notice the cooler that we had the food in is laying on its' side in the middle of the floor. Bears had already taken the food out, but somebody had apparently kicked it over after that. I picked it up, and told Bears that I would run it out to the car - WRONG THING TO DO!!!
Bears flashes me a very nasty, angry look - I've got no clue why. Turns out, "Dumb Supper" means that you are not supposed to speak - who knew? So I walk out to the car, with Bears close on my heels. After an entire day of one annoyance after another, my unexpected flash of embarrasment is quickly turning into anger - lots of anger! By the time I get to the car, I'm yelling at her: "Why didn't you think to tell me that 'Dumb Supper' means 'thou shalt not speak?'"
It was all down hill from there. I just couldn't take it anymore. I got in the car and told her I wasn't coming back in - "call me when you're ready to leave!" She begged me not to go, but it was too late. I got in the car and drove home.
Now, I'm sitting at home, feeling like an ass, writing this. I have to write in the dark because we don't have any halloween candy, so I have to pretend nobody's home!
Other than that - everything is just peachy - how about you?
