<ELLIOTTCABLE__>
fucking, fuck
ELLIOTTCABLE__ is now known as ELLIOTTCABLE
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
worst. new years eve. of my living memory.
<yorick>
ELLIOTTCABLE: what happened?
<whitequark>
yeah tell us
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
uh
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
long-ish story
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
i, threw a party, put a lot of effort into it. not a thing I ever do, so I wanted to try it.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
theme, ordered all sorts of decorations, gave people specific instructions, invited everybody I know around here (not really that many people, total of about fifteen RSVPs; I don't have a lot of friends here).
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
chellio invited her three best friends, all of whom came, so it was a fairly nice showing.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
in the middle of a game of Cards Against Humanity, I was saying something game-related to someone, and she leans across the table and says, in front of *every friend I had*, something along the lines of “FUCK YOU.”
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
then “You're an ASSHOLE.”
<yorick>
what
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I was already unhappy with her over some other, minor feels that're way too complex to explain here, and that was hugely the last straw for me: embarrassing me, trashing me, infront of *literaly* every single friend I have … for NO REASON. literally, absolutely, no, reason, that I could see.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
not take-me-aside and chew me out for something I had done wrong that I hadn't noticed … not, even, yell at me for something, WHEN IT HAPPENED, … not even FUCKING EXPLAIN WHAT YOU'RE YELLING AT ME ABOUT, when you yell at me later.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
everybody's stopped. everybody's staring at us.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I'm *so fucking angry*, now; she couldn't even be arsed to fucking *tell me* what made me a goddamn asshole.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I slammed my sandwich down on the table and stormed out of the room. Couldn't handle watching all of my distant-ish ‘friends’ stare at us and our problems, out in public, embarassed.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
segue:
<yorick>
ELLIOTTCABLE: I would have stood up and told her to get out
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
she follows me to my bedroom. tells me *I've* embarassed all of us. I'm fucking shaking at this point, I'm sone done with the whole mess. I sigh, and make it clear that I'm going to stay in the bedroom, until everybody leaves.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
she starts insulting me, and telling me about how that's “unacceptable” and it's “my party” and how I've “embarassed myself infront of all my own friends”
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
fucker, that was *YOU*. that was *YOU*.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
then she, well, attacks me. i'm not clear on the details, but I never touched her. (I've touched a girl in anger *once* in my entire life, and it will *never* happen again.)
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
she starts scratching me up. my arm's all fucked.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I gently but firmly grab her, pick her up, and move her out of my way, so I can open the door to my bedroom and get out; I grab my shit, walk past *all* of the silent people sitting around the cards-against-humanity table, and out the front door to my apartment.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
she, and her friends, and *my* friends, all continue to have the party of their lives. after I leave.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I left at about 11:30, so I was sitting in my car, screaming anguish at my steering wheel, smashed drunk, and alone as all fuck, when the clock struck 12:00.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
They? Were all popping my champagne, cheering.
<yorick>
aww
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
she called while I was checking-in at a hotel nearby, we argued briefly, and I very calmly told her that I'm done with her, done being made to feel like *I'm* a piece of shit, worthless, when *she's* the one who pulls shit like that.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
so.
<yorick>
ELLIOTTCABLE: you did right
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
segue:
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I come home today. She got *smashed* drunk, drinking and crying at her best friends over the whole thing, until 4:30 … she's asleep, on *my* bed, here in my apartment
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
my little brother (whom I flew down from Minnesota to hang out with us) and her little brother are the only other people here, right now.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
my place is fairly trashed. luckily, nothing appears to be broken or damaged too much, just really messy and smelly.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
(only reason there, is aforementioned little bro, he looked out for my interests after I had to leave, apparently.)
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
and then, the kicker, for me …
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
they played Spin The Bottle after I left.
<yorick>
stop making it worse
* whitequark
reads in horror
<whitequark>
sorry man
<yorick>
like every time I think "okay that's pretty bad" and then you tell us something worse happened!
<yorick>
ELLIOTTCABLE: did you ever find out why she thought you were an asshole?
<yorickpeterse>
I had a dream last night where I was sitting in a tiny room with friends, in a line, receiving and shaking hands with famous programmers
<yorickpeterse>
inc Jim Weirich who was wearing a cowboy hat
<yorickpeterse>
I was rather confused when I woke up
<whitequark>
fucking usbserial driver doesn't work
<whitequark>
why the fuck
<yorickpeterse>
So I ventured into /r/dating / r/r4r to see if these are worse/better than /r/bitcoin and /r/politics
