Pride Weekend. Yay.
Last night should have been fucking great...but it turned out to be a real drag. I convinced Erik (who isn't really into Pride stuff) to go to this elitist gay pride party with me last night in Cap Hill- thinking that no matter how much he resisted, I could still make him have fun... which he did for the first half of the night...
We met up with some close friends from the fraternity and proceeded on in. It was completely packed inside, and decked out with decorations and such. It was a full open bar- FREE! I think I may have had somewhere along the lines of 8 or 9 drinks and a few shots. Erik also drank a bunch ~ thus us both being pretty drunk by the time we left. Gary and Ricky were really drunk too...
Before we had gotten to the party, I spent several minutes describing the frat bros to Erik- telling him how wonderful they all are, and how he would like them a lot. Unfortunately, later at the party, that proved to be a big pile of shit. One brother in particular (not naming anyone) was pretty focused on being the centre of attention ~ as he always seems to be ~ and kept saying somewhat obnoxious things. None of it really bothered me- I'm very used to this- but Erik took a lot of it very personally...
Later, when we were all outside, everyone was very drunk and running around chatting and being silly... I got a phone call from my best friend Lizzie, and distanced myself from the crowd of drunken idiots to talk to her- thus leaving Erik to fend for himself with the bros and such. When I got back, he was completely histerical- claiming I had ditched him and he had been told these terrible things while I was gone. He started to take off, and I immediately walked after him. I started pleading with him not to be so upset, and not to take things to heart- none of it was meant to be how he took it... Long story shortened, I basically had to plead with him for the next hour and a half not to hate me or judge me according to how my friends had acted. I felt so shitty. He basically had me in tears, and I was really drunk and having a hard time grasping the whole situation. Finally he started apologizing, and we ended up going to Neighbors to meet up with some of his friends- which we did for a bit...then went back to his apartment to crash. When we got there, he just started unloading on me all of his frustration with the evening and how I had "abandoned him" for that brief period of time....he was drunk and histerical- and I was trying so hard to calm him down....we didn't get to sleep till after 4.
So dramatic! He spent the first half of today apologizing to me for being an ass, but I guess I can understand where he's coming from.... Marching in the parade today was nothing short of a blast. We all had a good time, and I think I got some delicious sun. I punched Gary.
No fun for me last night.....but I am being asked to come over tonight- so we'll see if things are better this time around.... I don't think I can handle another dramatic outburst- from anyone right now....really takes a toll on your emotional state- no matter how tough it seems to be.
