The man in 119 takes his tea all alone.

[judecorp]

I agreed to take my friend Adam G. to a party that was being hosted by a friend of his from work. I met Liz for about 10 minutes at Adam's housewarming party, and while she seemed like a lovely woman, I didn't really want to go. However, I'm always blowing Adam off, and I feel bad about it, so I decided I would go as long as we didn't stay terribly long.

I had a terrible time, honestly. I didn't fit in with anyone there. Adam was the only person who was invited from their work, so he only knew Liz and me. I only knew him, and when he drinks, he likes to say inappropriate things to me - so a wine-drinking party wasn't the greatest idea. Anyway, Liz was very nice to me, but I just didn't fit in at all. These were suburban married people - dress up to go to Polaris people - have a wine and cheese party with the in-laws people. I just sat there sipping my red wine and counting minutes until an acceptible time to whine about being tired. The party people kept getting tipsier and I just felt more and more alone.

On top of that, I kept getting drunken phone calls from people on the East Coast whom I love very much, but were leaving me feel lonely. They were all together, fitting in, having a wonderful time. I didn't really want to hear about how "boobs float" when I was introducing myself to Liz's grandmother. The calls didn't really make sense, and the connection was bad. Adam took the phone. The saddest part was getting three phone calls in one night from someone who never calls me sober anymore. Aah well - the price I pay for moving away and not moving back, I suppose.

I'm glad that Shani's birthday surprise was my Jennifer, though I'm envious both of their company and hers. Aah well. We all have off nights.

Happy birthday, Shani. Love you guys.

I love singing this song out loud. I draw a jackal-headed woman in the sand; sing of a lover's fate sealed by jealous hate, and then wash my hands in the sea. With just three days more, I have just about learned the entire score to Aida...

Then I'm assuming that Adam was the one who called me last night? Would you give him the message that I didn't appreciate it? Thanks.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

He called you last night? Ugh. Did he say anything? I'm so sorry. :(

Re:

First he called me a worthless slut, then he told me I would never amount to anything. Now, I would never even allow you, who calls me a slimy twat (you cuntface) to call me worthless or tell me I would never amount to anything, so when I got a message with a stranger telling me this, I was less than pleased. Unless you put him up to it you have nothing to apologize for, but since I'm pretty sure I heard you talking in the background, rather than snickering, I'm pretty sure you had nothing to do with it. Adam, however, needs a good kick in the pants.

"Worthless" is one of my least favorite words in the entire universe. I will certainly let him know that his behavior was less than stellar.

Atfer reading your post, I all I can is... "wow! boobs float?"

Just kidding, I'm sorry you had unpleasant evening in HappyGoMarriedWhiteyWhiteWhiteville. :-(

[siercia]

Yes, yes they do.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Well, according to lorac, they do.

:)

[siercia]

Well considering that *my* boobs were the ones used for the empirical testing, I can state with some authority that they do.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

HA HA HA HA!

[siercia]

We missed you last night. But you have great presents coming your way with Jenn.

I'm sorry we made you feel sad and stuff.

And that is one of my all time favorite songs. I even went to see Aida because of it =)

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Ha! You know, every time I hear that Aida is somewhere, I think of that song - I'm glad I'm not the only one.

And I wouldn't have been sad if I didn't have such a craptastic night, what with drunk Adam calling my best friend worthless on the telephone. UGH.

You didn't need to send presents, you silly people. I'm glad you had a wonderful time, and I miss you all. We should do something for the holidays.

[siercia]

Well, the presents are birthday presents, and I think they're from Carrie. So, yeah, you know, we did have to send you presents.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I'll never turn down presents, but birthday or not, you never HAVE TO send them.

Your pretty smile is enough. :)

[prunesnprisms.livejournal.com]

I just missed you, s'all. I'm sorry you were having a bad evening.

Adam must've called Carrie too, unless you called her back, because she had a call on her phone from you. As I understood it through my haze that's why we called you again.

Maybe I'm wrong though.

[kieron.livejournal.com]

No you are right....that was when we were sitting on the steps outside the ice cream place and they all went in for ice cream. Then Carrie had a conversation with him that went something like this...
"Who are you? What have you done with Judie? What? No, we can't spend the rest of our lives together if I don't know who you are and you won't meet me! Can I PLEASE speak to Judie?"

At least that is what I remember before she handed me to the phone. At that point, Judie had reclaimed the phone on her end, though.

[prunesnprisms.livejournal.com]

Mrrrrph. I was pretty.....way out of it at that point.

It's kinda creepy.

[kieron.livejournal.com]

I can understand that....but you were cute as always...and I was watching out for you. Making sure you didn't wander into traffic...sit alone outside...take a header....even when we were not walking together, I was a-watching!;)

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I missed you too, sunshine. And I didn't even get to talk to you. :( Happy birthday, sweetheart.

Yes, Adam called Carrie. He was playing with the phone and probably went back to the incoming calls. When y'all called back, I walked over and he was yammering to someone, and I thought it was Carrie's voice and I took the phone back.

Double ugh. Sorry for being a pooper... it was a long night.

[kieron.livejournal.com]

We still love you. Everyone said so!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

[kieron.livejournal.com]
