So I had what SHOULD have been a lovely evening, but it didn't end up that way. We had what was our best show in the past two weeks, and I had been invited to two Halloween parties. We have a killer show and then I get to go party-hopping? Hells to the yes! But I needed a ride, so first I tried to get Luke and his girlfriend Melanie to come with me, but they couldn't because they both had to work in the morning, and then I tried to get Evan and Nathan, but they didn't pick up the phone, and Cam had to work all night, so Jackie was my very last option if I really, really wanted to go. It was really a Catch-22: how badly do I want to go to these parties versus how much time can I stand to spend with Jackie, and do I want my cool friends to meet her?

Fuck.

Well, my urge to party overshadowed my hatred of Jackie, and so we wound up going together with her boyfriend Josh. We went to the first party, thrown by a new friend, Kacey, and that one was tiny and so hipstery and fun - it was rather like being in an indie movie. That was helped by the fact that Jackie stayed in the car mostly. But by the time we were headed to the next party, Junie's (and I hadn't seen Junie in forever), she had turned into such an enormous CUNT and just completely ruined the rest of the evening. Josh is actually a cool person to hang out with and the only decent person she's EVER dated (and I know everyone she's ever dated - we've been friends since, what, the summer before sophomore year?), and tried to make it work but she was just evil.

Can't say I didn't know that was coming - like I said, Jackie was my last ditch option, and Luke even warned me not to go partying with her. So I can't say that I didn't know better.

Jackie was so mad that we didn't skip Junie's party (and FOR NO REASON AT ALL - she wasn't sick, everyone seemed to enjoy her costume, and there was plenty of food and beverages at BOTH parties. She just changed her mind all of a sudden.) that she apparently broke up with Josh. He took it completely in stride, too, so I'm thinking that she probably didn't break up with him for real. But who can say?


Kind of feel like Kacey didn't really appreciate me bringing Jackie to her party, and Junie was too drunk to register anything (I love Drunk Junie - she is so hyper and fun and just bursts out into dance). Junie's was definitely the more festive one of the two - there were about five times as many people there, there was loud(er) music, more decorations, etc. I do enjoy a good small simple low-key party as much as any self-respecting indie bitch, but I like P.A.R.T.I.E.S. also. I'm rather pissed that I didn't get to stay at Junie's long enough to appreciate it. I haven't really been to a PARTY party in a while.



I wish I could have just gone to those parties by myself and just had a nice time by myself with my friends. I almost never get to see Junie or Kacey or do anything besides work -- and it's just so not fucking fair that Jackie seems to have everything when she just doesn't deserve it. She's perpetually fucked-up and mean and spoils everyone's time and is just so fucking selfish, and yet she gets everything she wants and does absolutely nothing to earn it. And I work so hard and I do everything right and have never gotten in trouble in my life, and yet I have to scratch and claw for everything I get.



I am trying to be a Good Person and I know that the world isn't fair, but tonight I'm just bitter because it could have been so nice and it just wasn't.
