(no subject)
Hm.Well the evening was.....something. Everyone I met was married or in a couple.There was Tom- quite short, nice eyes, hates maths, very into his politics (I totally tuned out of that conversation) and impressed with me once I said I did classics- called me "old school".
Ross- I swear gay gay gay, but married. TOTALLY GAY. Otherwise I'm suddenly fancying straight men. And let's not break a habit of a lifetime. Ross was rather amusing.
Spentmostof the evening freaking Jowray outabout various things. Then I met Jack. Jack is THE condescending prick of the group.You know how there's usually one guy that thinks he is the be all and and end all of judgement? He was that guy.And he started a conversation with me. OH DEAR. I HATE HATE HATE those people,and it turns out that his wife was the little unassuming nice blonde girl who seemed to like everything and have a problem with nothing. So Jackass started talking to me about university and the classic "what do you want to do when you leave uni". I told him my job intentions were top secret. He told me he didn't really have an idea for himself, oh,he wants to be a househusband. I said "You're what?In your thirties?And you still don't know what you want out of life.Yet you expect me, significantly younger, to have an answer?!" He asked me what I did and the best part was when he tried valiantly to hide his awe- because he's the type of person that just can't be impressed by anything, and has to criticise everything in some way. So I just played with him,asked him questions then laughed at him. Mainly because he dared to trash Travis. Like he's even listened to them. Infact strangely enough, he hates travis and coldplay for being "samey and unoriginal" (which I can understandin relation to coldplay), likes David Bowie except for the fact he's "a right wing fascist prick" and oddly enough has ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM with whitesnake. Whitesnake were the first real thing we agreed whole heartedly on. Then he went on to diss ALL THE FILMS IN THE ENTIRE PLANET and thankfully we didn't get on to books, because by that point I'm sure I'd have been like "have you read the odyssey? oh you have? HAVE YOU FUCKING READ IT IN THE ORIGINAL GREEK YOU PRICK?!" I think I would have won that point.
It's nights like these I realise I'm actually odd. Because hanging out with my odd friends, I'm normal. But in this crowd I was just like "WTFYOU GUYS". People that are horrified by perfectly normal every day things (to me). I can't even give an example. And all the women were obsessed with wedding type boringness and being married and I thought that was just a stereotype,but no. Some crazy fuckers are actually like that!!
The best part of all though, was at the end when we left and the others were talking about Jack and basically all round-about saying that they didn't like him,but dressing it upso it didn't come out so bluntly. And yet......it's so utterly simple and yet none of them have done it- the old we-don't-have-to-hang-out-with-someone-we-don't-like rule. Makes life a whole lot simpler.
But there were alot of things kind of like that. Things that I was going "why would you do that if you don't want to?!"-because if it were me I just wouldn't, you know? My parents were a good influence on me that way. But it makes it frustrating when I'm in a situation when everyone else doesn't have that attitude.
There was a moment when someone wanted to go(I think it was sarah) and instead of going "right then, we're going to go now because it's getting late and I'm tired" she did this "....maybe you guys should make a show of getting up, which will kind of give everyone else the message of leavingness and then we can get rob and blah blah blah." I believe it's because she's so goddamn nice that she suggested such a foolish and stupid plan. Because she is disgustingly nice. I just don't like them. Nice people always make the less saintly of us either blush with the shame of our own ineptitude (in relation to niceness) or go like this: "GET OUT OF MY FUCKING FACE-THERE'S A REASON WHY I DON'T SURROUND MYSELF WITH NICE PEOPLE AND IT'S BECAUSE THEY'RE SO AGREEABLE AND ONLY TALK ABOUT SAFE THINGS AND ARE SO EASY TO PLAY WITH THAT ONE SHOULDN'T EVEN WASTE THEIR TIME ON THEM BECAUSE IT WOULD BE LIKE KICKING A PUPPY THAT'S BLIND WITH 2 LEGS AND EVEN THEN THE PUPPY WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED- BUT ITS FIRST ASSUMPTION WOULD NEVER BE THAT YOU JUST KICKED IT FOR THE HELL OF IT." It's safe to assume option 2 is my reaction. I just find niceness to be a waste of time in a general sense. It only really means something for people you care about. Eh.
Strangely it makes me appreciate Jowray more. Because she isn't that type and I'm glad at least that it's her and not some silly nice person 'cause that make me sick.
