Party Poopers

So.

Does anyone else have a friend who whines and complains about absolutely everything and you can't take him/her anywhere?

Well, I've got one.

For the sake of anyone ever possibly reading this, we'll use code names . . . .we'll simply call the complainer . . . "The Complainer".

I went to WW last night with a group of people. We were having a great time, kicking back, listening to the band, mingling, etc. I was the elected DD for the night, so I wasn't drinking, but I was still having a good time. For those of you who don't know me, I adapt very well to pretty much any environment immediately, so I was completely content just hanging out with my crew. I was fine with the fact that the place wasn't super-crowded or that the band wasn't that great. There were plenty of crazy drunk ppl to watch, plenty of ppl at the bar to mingle with....nobody was really having a bad time.

And then out of the blue.

I'm sitting at the bar, chatting it up, just hanging out. Then, here comes The Complainer in all her glory.

"I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored! This place is horrible horrible awful disgusting lame."

You can only pretend that you don't hear somebody so many times....

Ok, I can compromise.

"Complainer, what would you rather do? Is there someplace else you would rather us go?" I ask her.

"A strip club," she says. Well, hmmmmm. Now, I have nothing against strip clubs....like I said, I can adapt to any situation or environment easily. But then, I think, strip clubs have a cover charge, right? And I am broke....

So I turn to the rest of the group:

"Would any of you guys like to go to a strip club?" I ask. I know the answer already, but to maybe....just possibly...shut The Complainer up for two seconds, I ask anyway.

"No." is the universal answer. I turn to The Complainer.

"Listen," I say. "Give me ten minutes, ok? I don't wanna just ditch everyone." She walks off.

2 minutes later, she reappears at the bar.

"I'm calling my mom to come get me," The Complainer whines. "I just can't stand this place anymore, I wanna go home home home."

I almost told her to get a cab then. But I didn't. I stalled a little longer and then we left.

Never again.

It's funny how as you get older, you find it easier to throw away those aquaintences that just aren't completely 100% compatible with you. I tend to try to look over certain ticks and flaws in my friends, but it's getting to the point where I barely have enough time as it is, so why do I want to be hanging out with ppl that irritate me? No more.

That's why my # of friends is dwindling significantly. I like hanging out with my sisters, my parents, and amazingly enough, the few friends I have left that are tolerable.

On a lighter note, the Twilight movie is coming out next Friday, and I already got tickets for my sister and I to go!!!!! :-) yayayayayayayay!!!! So excited, counting down the days.....it's gonna be awesome......

Now, where's my Edward Cullen?
