May 6th, 2006life’s a damn rollercoaster
One of my good friends has terrible taste in men—terrible. They always end up being jackasses who either cheat on her or try to use her for her money. We finally thought she had found a winner.. the wedding was being thought about, the ring was eyeballed and then he hooked up with someone else. She’s a magnet for jerks.
Then, recently, she and a good guy friend of hers decided that they wanted to start something. They’ve known each other for several years, have dated each other’s friends, have spent long nights on the phone… and now they’re spending long nights in bed.
She graduates college in a couple of weeks and last night they had their commencement ball and I did her makeup and that of some of her friends. It was highly entertaining as her adorable male roommate bought a bottle of Grey Goose just for me and fed me shots all night, and two of her other guy friends who were going together helped me fix hair and dresses—I love the gay men. 😉
As I was doing their makeup and flirting with all the guys—mainly the gay ones, because they had the best comebacks—her date hit on me. The guys were nervous and having problems with their tuxes and I was bored and half-tipsy and it’s so much fun making rugrats blush bright red. It didn’t even occur to me that he thought I was being serious—everyone else knows I’m nuts!
Asshat. He slipped me his number. Guys are jerks.
In better news, I’m hitting up a colleague for a job today. Ugh. Wish me luck.
hmmmm… guys are jerks. even the ones we love yes? i’ve learned i need to tell him when he’s being a jerk and he’ll stop or else i’ll just fume all night while he’s happily sleeping until at 5 in the morning i decide to talk to him and he had no idea i was upset… yea. guys are jerks and they have the attention spans of a gnat.

Bonne chance…! a bit late, apparently, but surely the thought counts for something…?
How did it go?

Men are pigs. Even the good ones have piggy bits!

You ladies are no walk in the park, either.
Or, as my roommate so eloquently puts it, “They’re all a bunch of loons!”

I’m really more of a bastard than a jackass really.
