Sorry I've been neglecting this thing. I've been meaning to tell you about Roommate's birthday, but I just kept forgetting.
His birthday was a couple of weeks ago. Realizing that he loves to drink and drive and that Boyfriend might get caught up in the drinking, I offered to be the DD. What a great idea, right? Staying sober while Roommate gets drunk, even though I can barely stand him when he's sober. I'm sure you can imagine, it was obviously a real blast.
We were set to go out around 9. I was getting ready when I realized Roommate wasn't even awake at 8:45, so I took my time. I finished getting ready around 9:15 and he still wasn't awake. I started cleaning up my room and told Boyfriend that I didn't want to ditch Roommate, but I wasn't going to waste my night at home if he wasn't even going to wake up. Then their friend showed up.. this friend used to be very polite and funny.. and then his girlfriend broke up with him. Now he came with some pretty filthy tales about the girls he's been with lately, but I kept in my room and ignored it. At around 10:15, I heard Boyfriend on the phone saying, "alright, we're going out, I'll talk to you later" Wonderful! I'd been waiting about an hour at this point... Then I heard new beers opening. WTF, guys, I'm sitting around waiting just to be their DD. Finally I went out to them and said, "if you're not going out, I'm just going to leave now" and we finally got the show on the road. Bitch move? Maybe, but at least it got us out of the house. Plus, if they were happy to stay home, I was happy to go out on my own.
We go to the same bar all the time, so we went to a bar a couple of towns over for a change of scenery. We get there and sit down and everything was fine for a while. Then their friend noticed half of a birthday cake sitting on another table... so he got himself a slice. Embarrassing. Roommate noticed that his cousin was at the bar.. and he spent the night flirting, dancing, and doing shots with her. Also embarrassing, but it was pretty funny to watch.
Roommate came back from wooing his cousin and he was obviously drunk. He spit on the floor of the bar. Boyfriend and I both immediately yelled that he couldn't do that. A few minutes later, he did it again. Boyfriend and I yelled again. When he did it yet again, a few minutes later, I got pissed and said, "I'm not sitting here if you're going to keep doing that. It's disgusting and completely unacceptable." This finally got him to stop.
After that, he was just annoying and stupid, but I was crabby enough that I couldn't stand a word he said. I dropped the boys at home and rushed to my bar just in time to get a drink with my friends at last call. Happy endings do exist!
