Patty's graduation party went great. Lots of her family went as well as her boyfriend's family. That of course means that I saw Nick again. I just did my best to look super awesome and be extremely pleasant. As soon as I arrived, I said hi to Patty's mom, to Patty, and then to Armand's family. Nick was sitting next to his mom and they sat across his dad and step mom. So I said a big hello to Veronika with a long hug and kiss because she's super awesome. Nick got out of his seat to say hello with a hug. So I jokingly introduced myself and said, "Hi, I'm Marianna. Nice to meet you!" He smiled and played along.
I went and sat with Oliver and Myrna soon arrived. We goofed around for a bit and talked about how obsessed I was with watching Lost in time for the finale. Myrna and I ordered a drink at the bar and brought it back to the table. I said hello to a few other familiar faces and took a few pictures.
At one point I passed by Nick to get back to my seat and he swatted me with one of the balloons tied to the chairs. I said, "Oh no, I think these balloons are rubbing up on my head and making my hair full of static." He rubbed the balloon between his hands and I said, "Ah no don't do that!" So we stood there for a bit just chit chatting when his dad came up next to us and I asked, "So that's your daddy?" He said, "Yeah, have you guys met?" His dad said, "Yes but she didn't want to talk to me." I said, "Oh, well I noticed that you're married and I don't want any problems. You see, I tend to get into trouble that way." They laughed. Nick and I made small talk til I said, "You wanna have a seat?" We sat together and talked about TV shows we've been watching. Then I made fun of what he was wearing because he had on a Land Rover button up shirt. The logo was very discreet but I still asked what was up with that, and why didn't he iron it. He said it was the only clean thing in his luggage. I gave a puzzled look and he said, "From Yosemite." I said, "Dude, that was WEEKS ago! Unpack already!" Then he said he hasn't been outta the house for a month, that he's just at home working on his engineering stuff. I purposely mentioned that I made the mistake of making a date for Sunday night, the same night of the Lost finale. His face became very unpleasant when I said that. Good, I hope it bothered him, because even if it did, it's not as bad as how I felt when that stupid girl made the comments on his page, but he still deserves to feel a little crappy.
Naturally, Myrna and Oliver kept a watch on us so I later got some grief about leg touching or something. Anyway, that conversation ended for a while and I went back to sitting with Myrna and Oliver. From there, I overheard Nick mention his ex's name (the wife he still hasn't divorced) and it annoyed me.
Before everyone left, they stood around a while still talking. I said goodbye to Nick and we hugged again, kiss on cheek, and blah blahed about who knows what while waiting for everyone else to start walking out. Then I said, "Well, I miss ya," and he said, "Yeah, same here." He got this look on his face that made me think he really meant it. But it could just be that's how his face is built. When he hugged me he said, "And I miss the twins." What a cad!!!
I asked if he got his book, he said yes (the one I mailed to him after our split). I said, "Wanna hear a secret? I have this whole book on handguns and decided that I want a baby glock!" So we talked about how I could get a small gun safe for it so my mom wouldn't freak out if I bought one. Then I said, "Ok, I have to go to the powder room." He got quiet for a bit then said, "When you say powder room, are you really just going to take a dump?" HA! I said, "ugh, no, but if I do you'll be the first I tell about it." We hugged again and his mom came over to us and I asked, "Is Nick being a good boy?" She said he was, and I offered to implement verbal abuse if he wasn't. He had his arm around me while I rubbed his tummy. Then they finally left.
So that's about it in terms of THAT dude. I had a good time the rest of the night and did a little dancing. Had a few drinks. Got home to watch a couple more episodes of Lost before I fell asleep again. Spent Sunday watching as much as I could of Lost before the finale started. Then I cried for like 2.5 hours because I was already so heavily invested in the show that whatever happened in the end was gonna get to me anyway. I'm still trying to sort that all out because there's no way they could have created all those mysteries without them meaning anything. Either way, there's just gotta be something to figure out about all that happened on the island and all that was found there. Gah!
