annoying
basic manners: shouldn't we all have them?
a friend of mine from high school, SA (snarky asian), visited me this weekend. she has never been to [current state], so we basically did an eating tour of [grad school city] and i do believe she had a good time. i, however, am probably worse for wear. i finished my last final (8hr takehome) at 4pm on friday, and promptly began drinking at 430pm. the only thing i ate all day was a pita w/some hummus, and then 3 onion rings and a handful of fried okra while drinking.
not such a good idea. i didn't do any booting, but friday night was not a fun night.
especially after factoring in the amount of food and booze i ingested this weekend, i may need to fast for the rest of the week in order to fit into my graduation outfit (seersucker dress and suit jacket) for pseudo-graduation this saturday (i'm walking in the ceremonies for both of my graduate degrees, even tho i am not graduating until august, when i finish my thesis, fingers crossed).
the most annoying thing about my weekend, however, was CB's behavior. a group of us went out to dinner on saturday night and came back to my house to lie on the floor and digest. we ended up watching a movie, and 2/3 of the way in, i got a knock on my door. turns out CB invited over one of his quasi-paramours w/o telling me. she was only supposed to stop by so that she could get him and they could leave. she ended up staying until the end of the movie, and was hanging out w/us a little more, but it was still awkward...adding the fact that CB's ex-girlfriend, RND (russian nesting dolls) was over, too, and that CB and RND drove to dinner/my house together.
CB sent me an email the next day apologizing (sort of) for inviting the other girl over w/o telling me about it. we're acquaintances, so i'm not really fussed about it. but his lame-ass excuse? "i started saying something about it but then everyone else was talking and no one heard me, and i'm easily discouraged so i didn't say anything."
OMG. grow some balls.
that's great, you invited a girl over while you were hanging out/cuddling w/RND, and it's not like RND could leave separately b/c you two drove to my house together. you were rude in many different ways: 1) to me, for inviting someone over unannounced; 2) to the girl, b/c you put her in an awkward situation; and 3) to RND b/c you came w/her and you were going to leave? apparently BW, the ever-so-tactful girl that she is, asked CB a few days ago, point-blank: "so are you and RND still fucking?" CB's response: "i will neither confirm nor deny."
i like RND. she's sweet. and i don't know why she's still putting up w/CB's needy emotionally manipulative shit. [well actually, i do. RND's not totally innocent, b/c she fucked over her most recent ex, and D&G doesn't trust RND and CB together b/c they hid their relationship from her for 3mos.] even SA picked up on it, in the short time she was here visiting me.
ugh.
