Larry Joe’s birthday was last night. I got into a huge argument with his best female friend crystal because of her moral hang-ups regarding Hooters (which is our traditional place to meet for birthdays). Here is a little of that conversation:
LMystic99B: hey we are going to the hooters at west port tonight
Mystic Leopard11: k have fun
LMystic99B: so does that mean you are not going?
Mystic Leopard11: not to hooters
LMystic99B: how come?
Mystic Leopard11: moral issues
Mystic Leopard11: don't believe in guys drooling over girls in tight t shirts
LMystic99B: dude, crystal it is larry's birthday for one, secondly, what moral issue could you have over girls that do it to theirself voluntarily
LMystic99B: and dont girls do that anyway? seriously? that is like saying you dont want to go out in public where there might be attractive girls that guys would drool over anyway
Mystic Leopard11: it's not the issue i have with the girls. it's the issue i have with the guys for going there and i'm not compromising my morals. i've done that too much lately
Mystic Leopard11: no, it's not
LMystic99B: we are going there, honestly because it is tradition-- the girls at hooters- at the least the ones we go to are not even that attractive
Mystic Leopard11: that place was established with the purpose of enticing guys and whether or not the girls are attractive, it's the same issue
LMystic99B: so, you are not going to go because it might offend you a little bit that guys are going to act like we always do- thereby upsetting larry that his best friend is not going and will not make the effort for him when he does so for her
LMystic99B: well it is a good marketing scheme
Mystic Leopard11: i would never ask him ot compromise his morals fro me and i'm very surpised that you're asking me to do so
LMystic99B: it just seems hypocritical, I am sorry. I have seen you dress laciviously... was that not your intention?
LMystic99B: I am asking you to come out and have fun with larry and your friends
Mystic Leopard11: no. my intention is to dress the way i want to dress despite anybody else. i despise guys and honestly don't want any of them to talk to me if they weren't already my friends and i would not have fun supporting somethin that i don't believe in
LMystic99B: not to compromise morals with good intentions, but to stretch your comfort zone a little and have some fun. and trust me, you know us and our friends. regardless of how the girl is dressed some of us drool over them- that is like us having an attractive waitress anywhere else and fawning over her- I do not see your corollary
Mystic Leopard11: having an attractive waitress and drooling over her is different than going to a place that is designed for that purpose. it's something i don't support and i am entitled to form my own morals and my own opinions
LMystic99B: our intention for going there is that it is tradition
LMystic99B: you are entitiled, and I am pointing out that it appears hypocritical
Mystic Leopard11: well it's not for me and it's not a tradition i care to start. it had to start sometime and it would only be hypocritical if i went there
LMystic99B: and again, if they do that to themselves and we are willing participants and it is all in good fun, what is the harm?
Mystic Leopard11: i am not a willing participant
LMystic99B: okay, fair enough. but just look at how pathetic your reasoning is. especially with the way you live your life. and yes, that was a personal jab. you dress in a similar fashion and you know what it does and who it attracts. you just do not get paid for it. I guess the difference in that is that they actually get something out of it then, eh? crystal it is larry's birthday and you know this is what he wanted to do-- why does everyone have to bend to your will. you know larry will fold because he wants to include everyone- you know this. any moral issue you have with this- put it aside for one night
Mystic Leopard11: i'm going to stop talking to you about this now before i stop talking to you altogether. you have no right to tell me that my reasoning is pathetic when you don't even know my reasoning and i have no desire to change your plans. i told LJ that he should go where he wants to go on his bday and i would not be offended
LMystic99B: I do have a right to tell you your reasoning is pathetic when you are being completely contradictory in your actions- or a hypocrite if you will. I know your reasoning, you already told me it. okay, you have your morals, fine. We are going to hooters tonight- after that not sure what is going on but you are more than welcome to come. Look, I just do not understand why any of this is a big deal. It is a restaurant for christ's sake..... we just want to include everyone and have fun and stick with tradition. So everything is everything.
Mystic Leopard11: i don't question you when you don't want to do things and i don't expect to be questioned either. i might hook up with you guys after you leave there, so i will see you then
LMystic99B: okay, that works
Okay, that was the entire conversation- but you get the point. Anyway, Larry got retarded drunk and passed out after Hooters. Yay, mission accomplished! Well, of course our next stop was Kriegers. So we dragged LJ out of the car and into the bathroom- he pukes. Mind you, this is a kid who on my 21st birthday drank a 1/5 of jager, 30 beers, more than half a fifth of grey goose, and go knows what else. He has not had a drink since my birthday. Damn I am good. Anyway, I was crabby most of the night. Crystal was there and I really did not like her presence. Shaun was there also, and I told him how I felt about what happened on Halloween (note* I accidentally broke his banister at his house on Halloween- actually not my fault, as I just touched it and it broke. Shaun being the psycho that he is pretty much cut ties with me that night, well there were girl reasons involved too, but whatever) because I am a straightforward person and told him we should just talk about whatever he was upset about so we can move on. I am not one to hold grudges, nor do I see a point for him holding this one. I actually called the day after holloween to apologize profusely and to offer to pay for any damages that were done to his house. Yeah, no response. Well besides being a little crabby, I was hanging with everyone else I love and adore (surprise surprise, no sarcasm there) and salvaged the rest of the night- with the help of a few liquid cocaines and some more jager. The night wasn’t that bad afterall. Jared showed up, got hit on (sorry anne J), got my drink on, yeah everyone actually meshed pretty well in the end. We’re all kinda fucked up as a group, but I am really glad that we all got together. And Wieder, he’s still a crazy motherfucker. I really don’t know what it is about him, but he’s just a great guy. I need to go up to the supermarket more when he is working and get some meat and shoot the shit with him. He works so much that no one gets to see him but his “not girlfriend”- the one even the hooters waitress knows about now- and I live the closest to him out of all of us. God, his stories were so fucking inappropriate, but shit if they were not funny. He was talking about how he was doing his girlfriend (whatever, that is what I am going to call her) in his car and how paranoid she was getting that someone might be watching- then she made him stop because she thought someone was in her fucking trunk. In her trunk! This girl is so paranoid, she took his cellphone for a 5 minute car ride home just in case, and made him talk to her for 15 minutes while she got ready for bed. She thought there were ax murders in her house or some shit and had Wieder talk her through the entire house while she looked. Crazy…. He had like 15 more stories, but I am not going to hack my way through them. So all in all, a good night. Had a dream about Anne, hmmm…. Yeah. Got woken up at 5:30 in the morning by a beached whale named Kevin and was forced to watch a damn good movie- the first movie I cried in theatres at actually. Yes, I remember, I was like 11. Apollo 13. Maybe I was older, whatever. Someone go check for me I cant keep track of this shit. My lord, am I still typing? I should stop. Hey diorella, if you read this shit--- hi. Yeah, thinking about coming to NY and paying your ass a visit. . Umm, Amber’s visit is approaching. Have tickets to the Story of the Year concert. They rocked the house for their CD release party and I cannot wait to see them again. Kind of nervous about Amber coming here. I want my baby pictures back dammit. Note to the ladies: If I give you my baby pictures, that is love right there. Or my journal- or access to it. Not the one here, but my personal journal. Nothing you put on the net is safe.
