Today was the big day. My 21st birthday bash! I had just gotten back from the Windy City, and also managed to have a falling out with my ex best friend and first true love, Kyle Christy. Today though, I was determined to make my birthday celebration perfect! I spent the day pretty much slumming around doing nothing. Well, not totally nothing, I was trying to get as many people to come to my party as I could. Form called, and this time, he was determined to come to this party, as he had missed my last one due to his kidney stones. He told me that he was getting pissed at Robbi because even though he was with him, he still had certain types of single behavior that he did not want to give up. Form loved going out to the Male Box and seeing his friends. Tonight he had not only invited his friends to my party, but had plans to go to Male Box after. I was pissed that he was even thinking of leaving my party to go to the box, but I didn’t question it. Apparently, Robbi didn’t want Form going to the box either, but more importantly he didn’t want Form hanging out with Mexi Slut. They say opposites attract, but what they don’t say is that opposites have an opposite view of what constitutes a rocking Saturday night.
My Saturday night was getting closer to show time as the clock ticked away. I quickly got the food on, and tried setting up the décor I had bought. Form, R, Fine Form and Davie were the first to show up. They helped me make my yard look perfect and show that I was 21. Cat called me and I guess Kyle had called her. He told her he wanted a ride to my party. So this meant that he WANTED to talk to me still, even after the incident from last night. I did not know what to do. I had told everyone what happened and everyone thought he was “not conferrable with his sexuality”. Did I want him at my party? I finally decided yes I did, but would my friends be so forgiving? Tall Form told me to call him and he would have to apologize and I would have to explain to him that there would in fact be gay people at my party. And to make sure he was ok with that. Ted showed up, and he was still very pissed at Kyle for the previous night’s events. I went to my room and called Kyle. We talked and he did admit he had been a tad out of line the night before. I told him that I would come pick him up. Form agreed to come with me. Right before we left, Greenfield Rd arrived. I was happy that he came up from FL JUST for my party. It was very sweet. Next, I did something that I had not done in 5 years, I left my own party. The liquor was still in my trunk, and that’s where Form wanted it, so no one would steel it again. On the way to get Kyle, Form told me how at a certain time he had to go pick up Mexi Slut from the hotel, even if Robbi did not like it. Form still wanted Mexi as his friend and still wanted to go to the bar, and if he made out with someone, so be it, as long as at the end of the night, he and Robbi were together. Was Form onto something? I knew Form had a pretty good idea of how gay life worked. He knew that you can’t always get everything from just one person. As he talked, I started to think about restlessness and relationships.
Once we found what we were searching for, why are some of us reluctant to let go of our single selves? Is single life in Detroit such a constant flurry of fun and friends that settling down immediately fills us with the urge to shake things up again? And why does becoming part of a couple imply settling down? Maybe Tall Form had it right in that we shouldn’t expect to get everything from one man, but instead feel conferrable getting different things from different people. Although at what point do separate interests become separate bedrooms? I couldn’t help but wonder, to be in a couple, do you have to put your single self on a shelf?
On the way to get Kyle, Ted called and made up some bull shit excuse that he left his wallet at his friends and he had to leave to go get it. I told him he better come back, although I knew he was not going to.
We picked up Kyle, and once again, he had a drink in his hand. He got in and it took everything Form had not to go off on him. I made it clear to Kyle that Form was to me as his friend Russell was to him. We got back to my house, and unloaded the liquor. I tried to hide it under the table, but there was just too much. We let it sit on the table. Cat and Katelyn showed up, along with Robbi and a bunch of random people that Form had invited. Grosse Point Alex kept calling me, and he finally found a ride, and showed up. I had not seen him in years, but it was great to see him here at my party. Joe called and told me he and his friend were on their way. Now this was getting good! Kyle started yelling at me because I had got him Jager, but no Red Bull. He demanded someone go get him Red Bull. He and Katelyn and Cat took my car and went to the store. Joe and his friend showed up, and turns out Joe knew one of the random people that was already at my party. Kyle went inside and re introduced himself to my dad. Nick Sollars showed up, which was surprising to me. I knew that Enoch would show later on because Sollars came. Davie was super jealous of Cat because she had once had relations with Fine Form. Cat tried to be nice to her, but she would not have it. James called me and told me how he and Glenda would not be coming now and going to the “Fallout Boy” concert. Way to blow me off and bullshit me, since I knew there was no concert. I was really pissed. I had talked to Glenda earlier in the day and she told me that she would come and even drive separate from James. Five minuets later, I got a call from Glenda telling me how they were really on 59 and Adams and just lost. I was very confused, but gave her directions. Enoch finally showed up, and so did Joe Toe. Cat and Katelyn got back with a 5th of Jack, and Kyle’s Red Bull. Next thing you know, Glenda, James, Lindsey, Marcus, and another friend of theirs came walking into my back yard. I was so happy they James didn’t ditch me on the night of my party. Lindsey gave me a copy of Hustler magazine, and a crazy card that said “For My Cousin”. As a joke, I kissed her neck up and down, and this led her to want to have sex with me and liked that I was “keeping it in the family”.
Meanwhile, Nick and Enoch decided to get friendly in Nick’s car, and justified it as a good reunion gift. Back at the party, Tall Form and Grosse Point Alex hit it off, as well as Greenfield Rd and Grosse Point Alex. Kyle, was suddenly wanting beer. I guess I had run out, and he was demanding more. Cat, Katelyn, and Kyle, once again, took my car and went to get him beer. Meanwhile, Hubbard came outside and saw we were drinking hard liquor. She flipped and flipped out to Beeb. She tried taking some of the 5ths and I told her I would take care of it. I took the liquor and put it in my room. I opened the fire escape and reached in and tried to take it back. Hubbard busted in my room and said “What do you think I was born yesterday?!!” and grabbed the liquor!! I was super pissed! I was half drunk, and texted Cheat and told him that I was “moving out”. Cat, Katelyn and Kyle got back with the beer and Hubbard saw them carrying it into the back yard and freaked out some more. Kyle was getting more drunk by the second and yelling “Lets go on the roof”. Hubbard came out and heard this and I tried to convince her that he was Just Kidding. Form told Kyle to “knock off the yelling” and held a hand to him. Kyle was shocked the gay kid meant business and would slap him. Hubbard got everyone together to finally sing me Happy Birthday. Form did his birthday dance for me once again. After that, James and Lindsey and Marcus left and Cat reintroduced herself to my mother. Black Justin and his boyfriend finally showed up, and I had to tell him that there was no liquor. I told Joe that I was sad that he was moving and that he was the only ex of mine that I still talked to and cared about. Michelle showed up and brought Mary, and Nancy. I told Mary how introducing me to Cheat was a total MISTAKE and BAD NEWS. She apologized greatly for the mishap of last June.
It was getting later, and Form realized that he was late picking up Mexi Slut. He was too dunk to drive, so Cat drove with him to the hotel, once again, my car was used. I was getting worried that one of these times my car would not make it back in one piece. Grosse Point Alex’s friends wanted to leave, but he was having a good time with Greenfield Rd and everyone else. We told him that we could find him a ride home later.
Kyle was getting more and more drunk somehow, even though the liquor was gone. The more drunk he got, the more boobs he wanted to see. He asked to see Glenda’s boobs and she flat out told him “No”. He told her he was sorry and to “give him a hug”. Once again, Glenda shot him down. “Seriously, hug me” he said. Finally Glenda gave in and Kyle said “Oh man, I haven’t seen you in like 6 years”. Glenda told him “Actually, you’ve NEVER met me”. Kyle was shocked at this. He really had no idea he had never met her. Tall Form and Cat returned with Mexi Slut, Paul, however, never showed. Joe and his friend left, along with Fine Form and Davie. Ashley and Jenn showed up and bonded well with everyone. Michelle and Nancy and Mary left as well. Robbi left, and finally Form left too. Glenda re introduced herself to Enoch and Nick, and thought Enoch was a nick name I had given him. They started talking and Nick remembered that he had met Glenda that one time at James’s house. After a while, they started to wonder if this one random ann, Jesse, would remember Glenda’s name. They called him over and Glenda asked “do you remember my name?” and he said “yeah….” but he really didn’t. Glenda said “Remember, it’s the weird one”. She had to remind him that her name was Glenda, but then told him that her real name was Steph. Kyle jumped in the circle and said “Your name isn’t Steph, its Glenda”. “No, actually it really is Steph, do you want to see my ID?” Kyle said “No, but I know your name is Glenda”. Glenda decided to take the opportunity and confuse him even more so she said “Actually my name is Ashley”. Kyle got confused and walked off. Not long after, he passed out in my front yard. He was passed out for a while, and awoke after Katelyn flashed him her boobs. He was only awake long enough to walk to the back yard and pass out there. Hubbard was still mad about the drinking, and told me to take Kyle home. Little did she know I was half drunk. I told her I would take him home. Katelyn tried to get into it with R. R tried to reintroduce herself to Glenda saying “hey, you may remember me, I’m the one they call R”, little did R know that Glenda knew EXACTLY who she was. When Katelyn started in with R, I had to hold her back. R awoke Kyle by flashing him her boobs and then carried him to my bed and put a puke bucket next to him. He was gone.
By the end of the night, we were down 10 5ths and had a few drunk people left staggering. Cat and Katelyn left, and Grosse Point Alex had to leave as well. Mexi Slut took my car, and drove him back to New Baltimore. Left over was Nick, Enoch, R and Greenfield Rd. Kyle was still passed out on my bed. R, Nick, Enoch and Greenfield Rd, stayed up and talked. We were being so loud, I was surprised Kyle slept through it. Mexi Slut was gone a long time, and I kept calling him to make sure that A my car was ok, and B that he was not hooking up with Grosse Point Alex. About 40 mins later, I get a call from Mexi Slut saying that he had run out of gas. R left, and then it was Nick and I to the rescue to save Mexi Slut and more importantly, My car. Luckily, he was only two miles away. Nick and I went to the closest gas station, got a gallon of gas, and brought it back to the car. The three of us managed to make it back to my house, and my car was all in one piece. We walked back in my room where I am pretty sure Enoch and Greenfield Rd had been making out. We all talked for a bit longer. Greenfield Rd passed out, Mexi Slut had me set him up a bed downstairs, and then Nick and Enoch took the rest of the floor. The wanted mattress pads. I went downstairs to get them and found Mexi Slut sitting in his boxers on the computer. “Can I use the computer?” he asked. Well I couldn’t really say no, because he was already on it! I secretly thought he was going to try and invite a hook up over to my basement! I grabbed the mattress pads and went back upstairs. I suddenly got a call from R. She was calling to tell me at her and Kyle R had officially broken up. I pretended to be asleep. I would deal with that tomorrow. After I got Nick and Enoch situated, I finally shut off the lights and went to bed. As I laid on my bed I heard kissing going on on my floor. It was my party, and it seemed that everyone else would be getting lucky this night except for me. After getting over a small tad of jealously, I was able to fall asleep. What a 21st!!!
