redxdollxshoesOur party was Sat. night and yesterday was spent recovering. The flat doesn't look bad at all now that we've dumped most of the unused mixers and cleared away the remaining alcohol. A good time was definitely had. There's no way that I can cover everything that went on, so I'm going to sum up using my patented ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

1. Josh and Ian came! Josh is working for Americorp in Cincinatti right now, doing Meals on Wheels and is quite enjoying it. He says the old people are all into the same stuff he is...hanging out, talking shit and playing cards. And he loves the morbid stories that they tell, and asks questions like, "And what was the recovery time before your second husband died?" Miss that boy dearly.
2. My friend Annie managed to find a babysitter for her son, and most of the single guys promptly fell in love with her. She gave us candy and a giant robot "Fraidy Cat" that sings "Somebody's Watching Me." The cats are terribly interested in it.
3. Jackie was doing some quality psychic backrubs that night. He backrubbed Annie, Josh, Ian, me, Nick, his boyfriend Jaime and Amy. Whew! Talk about putting that boy to work. He mostly gave me health advice, told me to eat more good fats like nuts and avocados (I thought I already did!) and to do push ups because that will help with my job, and at one point he gave me a big hug and said, "It's good to hug someone who has so much love, and you need to hug more people." Awwwww.
4.eyeinject wasn't able to make it and she was extremely missed. Lots of people asked about her. But I promised she'll be at every other party. Right, Michelle?
I was happy with the turnout. Some people weren't able to make it, which was okay since GermanFest was going on. (I promise we'll never make that mistake again!) Unfortunately, aside from the date, I made a huge mistake and invited my ex-boyfriend, Bob.
I know I've written about Bob here before. He was my first love...we dated when we were 18-20. It was a good relationship, but a really bad breakup. He started hanging out with some old friends and began acting like the hugest asshole. After we broke up, it was apparent he was continuing to act like an asshole, and I didn't feel the need to put up with it once the relationship was over so I cut him off. It was one of the best things I've ever done and I felt very free afterwards, but I always wondered what happened to him, where life took him. So I contacted him and we started hanging out again. What happened is that he became someone I would never consider dating, much less hang out with. He's very into Aikido and guns and is pretty aggressive. We'd hang out every once in a great while. Sometimes it's not a bad idea to keep someone around who is so different from everyone else you hang out with...makes you remember that not everyone in the world has the same view as you and your friends. I've invited him to a couple gatherings before, and he came late and just hung out and talked and it wasn't a big deal. This time he came early, and was already drunk from GermanFest.
It was immediately apparent that he was clashing with everyone. He was hitting on every girl, even in front of their boyfriends. He rolled his eyes when my friend Nick said something about his boyfriend. He practically got in Jackie's face when he did his first psychic backrub on Annie, I think because he was interested in Annie and didn't like some other guy touching her. (Not to mention he really can't stand for someone to know more about something than he does.) He actually asked me, "Is it okay to punch someone at your party?" But things didn't escalate till after a lot of people left. Shawn's brother Aaron was about to leave with some friends and his friend Stan also knows Aikido. They had been talking about it earlier in the evening, but now that Bob was much more liquored up, he approached Stan and started trying to spar with him. Stan obviously wasn't into it, but Bob kept jabbing him and put holds on him, so Shawn went up and tried to diffuse the situation. I grabbed Bob's arm and started pulling him to the kitchen to get him away, saying, "Okay, Bob, come this way." The asshole grabbed my wrist and twisted it and didn't even let go the first time I said, "That hurts!" so I had to scream, "Bob, that fucking hurts! That is not cool!" and Shawn told him to chill the fuck out.
To his credit he did chill out after that. I accidently broke a glass and he even helped Shawn clean it, but he was still acting really obnoxious and was the last one to leave (though various people hung outside to make sure he did...thanks!). Stan actually called to make sure we were okay. He said, "I figured my knowledge of martial arts was a challenge to him, so I thought it was best to get myself out of there." Bob came outside and said, "It's been decided that you, Shawn and I are going to karaoke." I knew that Shawn would never agree to something like that so I said, "No, Shawn and I are going to bed now." (Not to mention the last thing he needed was another drink.) He said, "Oh come on! How old are you?" and I said, "29," rather satisfied with myself. Shawn came out and he still tried getting us to come out with him, but we refused and asked if he was okay to get home (he lives close enough to walk) and said goodnight.
I've only seen Shawn angry a handful of times, and he was livid. Not at me, because he said I had no way of knowing he'd take over the party like that, but he said if he hadn't let go of me he was ready to break a bottle over his head. I myself am definitely ready to be done with that guy. I don't need to be friends with someone who I have nothing in common with to the point that he makes all my friends across the board uncomfortable. When he was young the aggressive tendencies were there, but he was a skinny 18 yr old who had never been in a fight outside of a mosh pit. Now that he's into martial arts, he's revelling in being a "tough guy" and even though he'd disagree with this, it's just made him into an even bigger asshole. Josh said, "It's like he was looking for someone to kick his ass all night, and we were all like, 'Go away.'"
So you definitely won't be running into this guy at any future gatherings. He's going to melt back into the ether from which he came. Bye Bob.
