These past two weeks I have been so tense waiting for my grades for the semester thinking I was going to fail one course. Today was the last day we were supposed to get them (grades for my other courses were sent out a week ago). It finally updated and I got an A for the course. All this stress and worrying for nothing. fml.

I drank way too much last night. Like an entire bottle of scotch on top of all the beer I was drinking.

... but it was pretty awesome. I went with friends and family to a family friend's house (say that three times fast) who is an obsessive Beatles fan. Malek, you'd probably go nuts if you saw his stuff - it's like an music historian's wet dream. He has framed vinyl album covers (from the UK) adorned on the wall for house art. I was honestly impressed, and he schooled me on his knowledge of The Beatles.

Also, my parents' friends' daughter has apparently harbored a grudge against me for the past four or five years, after I said something to her I don't even remember at a bar after many alcoholic beverages. Like, this was back in 2004. I was too busy living my life, y'know, for the past decade, to even realize it was an issue. But after a bottle of scotch, I became a softie and apologized and now there will be peace in our time.

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #1753 on:** December 24, 2009, 10:09:24 AM »

did you ever find out what you said or was it one of those awkward things where they wouldn't tell you?

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #1754 on:** December 24, 2009, 10:19:03 AM »

She didn't want to go into it, and even if she did, I probably would not have remembered. I could barely recall where my pants were this morning.

... but apparently, she said I said something judgmental about her, despite the fact that I "didn't know her."

I hate that phrase, because it's often said defensively when someone usually says something accurate about someone else. I mean, I've never lived with the broad - and my folks know her a lot more - but just because I haven't seen her poop, doesn't mean I'm not well-equipped to make an accurate judgment about her personality. Especially if I was drinking; you might as well call scotch "truth serum for Will Federman". Nothing disingenuous comes out of my mouth after a few drinks.

If I had to guess, I probably questioned her life experience (or lack thereof). I love my folks and their friends, but they are very much a reflection with what is wrong with upper middle-class (i.e. WHITE) America: affluent, politically indifferent and self-absorbed. This girl has adopted the same traits, but with an added dose of entitlement courtesy of MY SUPER SWEET 16 generation.

I was raised on a farm - literally - and both my parents struggled to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table until I was almost on my way out of the house. She has no context for what qualifies as a hardship, because her father (a very nice man) has literally provided everything for her during her entire life.

Ugh.

I have to see her again tonight, and I kind of regret apologizing to her after typing this all out.

Pretty much, T EXP (on both counts, although the hangover has affected me slightly more than Arvie's Disease).

She's also the "princess" (but the middle child of three daughters oddly enough) that grew up within her family's social circle, so all the wives have kind of adopted her as a daughter - including my mom (even though she has only known her for like seven years). It's absolutely sickening to hear everyone placate her ("Oh, that's so terrible!").

Her long-time boyfriend broke up with her and moved out (although the way he did it was pretty awful, he waited until she was out of town then packed up his shit and called her father to relay the message he wasn't coming back), so she's been quite emotional. The highlight of last evening was when she proclaimed she was "SO OVER" him, but then proceeded to tell us how she sent his mom a Christmas card (because she still likes her) and then called the ex to make sure his mom got the card - but the ex said he can't talk to his mom about her because "it makes his mom so angry that he made such a big mistake lol am i rite?"

After I heard that, I kind of understood why the guy packed up and left like the Baltimore Colts. He just had to escape.

I hate you.

Six months single, no potential for action. Just two awful blind dates in September set up by my best friend's gf, and one date off of POF with someone who was, *ahem* larger in real life than her pics suggested.

I think I'm in significant danger of backsliding to my ex, since I know she'd get back together in a heartbeat.

Should I just start walking down the street and greeting women with "hi, I'm a Mountie. Want to go for dinner with me tomorrow?"

We can switch. There's a chick with a boyfriend trying to hook up with me, an ex that won't really go away, a bisexual dame I know from high school that wants to give it a go and this broad that a friend of mine told I could cast her in "the movies". You can have at all of them.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #1774 on:** December 24, 2009, 11:43:41 AM »

It's not really a blessing. My ex is my ex for a reason, so I could care less. The high school chick was cute in high school, but the last decade has not been so kind to her. The girl with a boyfriend is pretty cute, but there's no possibility of it going anywhere; even if we get involved, I could never trust her (she broke up with her boyfriend because she was cheating on him with me?).

And I'm not going to use my considerable Hollywood clout (which is none) to fool this chick into sleeping with me, which pretty much makes me feel pathetic (I have to use the possibility of me casting her in a flick to get laid?).

Boogie, sometimes it's better to have no women at all chasing you, than 4 women who you want nothing to do with... When I was single (admittedly, only 2 months ago) I always felt more depressed when it was the fatties that liked me and not the cute girls.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #1776 on:** December 24, 2009, 11:53:34 AM »

I am going to side with tiesto on this. I prefer being single, being in a relationship last summer felt like work.

Boogie · « **Reply #1777 on:** December 24, 2009, 12:01:32 PM »

Oh, I get what you guys are saying.

It's just frustrating that, a couple of months after breaking up with my ex, I was all:

"allrighty, I'm ready to try some dating, I'm a different, more confident person than three years ago, LET'S DO THIS"

and instead, the results were, instead:

"...*crickets chirping*"

Notwithstanding the smoking hot Navy-pilot-in-training I met at Tao in Vegas whose friend cockblocked me.

O SNAP

Livejournal time.

I hung out with the same family acquaintances today, and I made a legitimate attempt to mingle, but it's hopeless. I've never met a social circle so obsessed with material items and money. One of their daughters is thinking about using her considerable savings to go to Europe and finish her MBA in London, and was basically laughed out of the room ("What good would going to Europe do for your life lol u loser?").

Also, one of the family friend's sons is big into film and we started to chat it up. I let him know what I'm doing, and said if something breaks, I'd see if I could help him. I already told him I'd give him a contact at Sony to pitch his stuff to. I was then told by my folks that could never happen, because it could lead to him not getting a degree and his parents would be angry at my parents. (wtf?)

It's all so fucking ridiculous. Everyone was talking about country clubs, golf trips, evil socialist government, new cars, etc. The kids that want real life experience and want to chase their dreams were tirelessly mocked. What a vapid fucking existence.

Then I tried to make a legitimate effort to be nice from the daughter from last night, and she twisted everything that came out of my mouth to be some kind of personal insult. I mean, no offense, those who know me will say I have no problem being sarcastic and sharp to the point where it hurts, so if I'm not trying, wait until you see me go full throttle. I was raised with Jews, and have formed a tough skin as a result. Divas can fuck off.

... So tonight pretty much sucked. And worst of all, it left a pretty bad impression of my mom. I've known this woman, and she's struggled the vast majority of her life. She knows what it's like to live in a car. But she gets a cushy job and marries a pretty well-off guy, and they fabricate this alternate reality that is made up of degrees, money, stock options, tee times and status symbols (one of the wives got an anniversary ring that someone could buy a house with). And then they insulate it with friends of similar mindsets.

I know my mom has longed for more - she came from a bunch of broke Midwestern baptists in the middle of nowhere that were happy just to graduate high school and work minimum wage jobs every day of their life to provide for their family - but it's like she's lost all contact with her roots.

That is too bad but that kind of stuff (inventing an alternate reality where your life in relative poverty never existed) is common with upper-middle class people. They believe they are on the cusp of greatness and real wealth if it wasn't for those freeloader welfare queens popping out their sixth kid. It's happening with a couple of my friends who are on the track to make six figures in their life or married someone from a rich family. It's sad.

Just in my experience anyway.
