Well, by all rights I should be in Leeds right now for the buildup to the SGUK North meetup. But noooo, instead I'm going to visit a 'friend' and see a 'gig' in Lancaster. Ok, so he is a good friend. And it will be a good gig. But the point remains. Damn the bonds of friendship.
I went out last night and had a very strange time. The most remarkable thing was having to contain my temper, which really doesn't happen very often. A guy who I vaguely know (hereinafter referred to as 'Vampire Overlord') was being a completely dickhead, repeatedly insulting me for no apparent reason. Apparently I look like a zombie and also like Gollum, which is nice. Plus there was the usual straightedge bashing, which is really funnier and funnier every time I hear it. He was hinting all the way through that there was much worse stuff he could say about me, like he has knowledge of some terrible evil in my past or something. What's more, he interrupted my dancing to Nine Inch Nails by repeatedly attempting to lift me off my feet in some juvenile show of strength. He failed. I eventually could only stop him by lifting HIM up, carrying him off the dancefloor and dumping him by the bar. It all came to a head when Vampire Overlord got slapped by one of my friends for being rude to me again, at which he attempted to intimidate her in the most pathetic, adolescent goth fashion I think I've ever seen. He then rounded on me, threatened me to keep out of it (being as I was, of course, attempting to defuse the situation) and stalked off like the Grand Prince Of Darkness he is.
I am very glad I've had discipline instilled into me through the martial arts, or I would have decked him there and then. Instead I went up to another friend and repeatedly punched his hand for about a minute to relieve my rage. That's probably quite juvenile as well, but a lot better than doing it on Vampire Overlord's face then getting chucked out / beaten up by the bouncers.
Oh, did I mention he slept with my first girlfriend while I was still with her? Yep. I truly love this guy.
So there we go. Fun all round.

sounds like a freakin' lame-o to me but then again i don't really know him. hey maybe you're first girlfriend told him you were way better in bed than him so he hates you out of envy. you never know. there has to be a reason for his animosity towards you.
hope things are well and that you are going to have best week.
