I normally don't go out for New Year's Eve. I associate the holiday with people drinking, and that you shouldn't drive at night because of car accidents due to people drinking. Last year Mike went to his friend Jesha's house and told me that next year I should go. I just don't like the whole sleeping over thing, but I realize it's that or chance being killed on the highway. This year Mike's friend Kristina, the actress that was in Rob Zombie's remake of Halloween, was having a party and invited him. So that persuaded me. I rarely see her since she is in school and traveling around doing signings and fan events for Halloween. I asked Jessica if she wanted to come and if she had plans, she said she didn't and I was happy she was coming. I really didn't know what to expect, and I didn't feel like being up Mike's ass the whole night so this gave me a chance to just do my own thing. He rsvped for us, and I picked out what I was wearing. He wasn't wearing anything overly fancy, a black button up, and my mother just gave me one for Christmas so I decided on that. That night, I saw Jessica wore a dress and some obnoxious heels that were murder to walk in. We took the train and got there earlier than expected. She didn't greet us at the door but one of her guests did, also the same person that was taking pictures that night of everyone that Jessica nearly beat to death over that and who I think she is dating. Anyway walking into her house after dropping off the drinks we brought, I immediately felt under dressed. Severely... under... dressed... Looking around at men in suits and women in fancy dresses I felt like the 1000 lbs gorilla in the room. As I continued to scan the room I did see some people just wearing whatever so it really was a mix of fancy and casual. Mike's friends Ted and Johnny were there, and this woman named Kat. Jessica picked up on it right away that she was clinging to Ted. I told Jessica about these two friends of Mike's so she knows Ted is in an open marriage. I also told Jessica as a warning because I don't want her to see them find them attractive and then get herself into something that she didn't want to be in. As the night unfolded, and we had some drinks, it was clear Jessica and I were not going to be getting tipsy or drink since we ate there and were pacing ourselves with the Coke and marshmellow vodka. Mike on the other hand was getting inebriated and I hate when he is like that. Also after seeing how he was that night I really don't want to be around him when he drinks because he is super bitchy, and just not pleasant to be around. I felt he reached his limit and he kept pointing out its a holiday and he kept drinking. He wasn't sloppy, just really fucking annoying. Jessica spend time hiding from Kat as well... She was really nice when we first met her, but as the night went on and she kept drinking she got sloppier, and her hair got bigger and more disheveled. From what we pieced together from the bits of information she gave and Ted gave; she answered an add on Craigs list and met him and they were going to fuck. The whole thing was gross, if I could have warned her to run I would have but by the time it was all clear it was to late. She was trashed from just drinking and anything we told her would have been pointless. Thanks to the garden being open we were outside most of the time. Jessica was smoking and we just talked about whatever as we were watching people come out and doing their own thing. At one point this androgynous asian woman joined us at the big table in the back and asked if we were doing any drugs. She pointed out she did a line prior, then finished her food quietly and vanished. A few points in the night, the way I felt pressured to dance ugh... I felt i was going to be pressured into doing some illegal substance, but thankfully that didn't happen. Not to say this party was in a crack den, it was far from it, but the people there just chose to do things.
As I pointed out this was the first time that Mike and I spent this holiday together, and first time I spent it with Jessica. Over all I had a great time despite Mike refusing to leave when Jessica and I wanted to. It turned into a big thing. Jessica wanted to go and so did I. She wasn't dragging me out of the party early either it was close to 2am and she wanted to leave. Mike said she should just go if she wanted to but I pointed out I wanted to go as well. We didn't leave until after we saw Kristina's short film that she did for grad school. It was pretty good, shot very well. I liked it. She wasn't so overly worried it wasn't that great though. Apparently her professors tore her a new one and were extremely critical, but apparently that is due to her actually being in films, and tv shows that that would lead them to make her feel worthless. When we left, we were talking about Ted and that woman Kat and how they were petting each other on Kristina's bed as we watched her film. Mike said he told them how it was a bad idea but they do what they want. Ted's wife apparently left the party early with some guy so they just do their own thing.
After we went our separate ways, Jessica and I were talking about the party and about Mike's friends and how they seem to just ignore him. She said that she had a difficult time trying to have a conversation with them, that they seemed to just not care. I told her that I noticed that before with them and that is why I don't really talk to them. I don't like being ignored when I talk to people so if they are going to do that I am not going to bother.
Our train ride home was pretty quick, Jessica took the train with me since she was staying at her parents. Still not use to calling her home her parent's house since it's where I have associated her living for years now. We had a fun time on the train though. This older man and his woman were getting home from a party and he wanted to play with a noise maker. It was torture because he would crank the thing slowly and then go fast and then stop. These two girls on the train sitting across from us were filming him at one point due to how obnoxious he was with it.
The next day when I spoke to Mike about things, he wasn't happy to hear how Jessica and I noticed how Ted and Johnny ignore him. Not that anyone really wants to hear that their friends don't pay them any mind, but I felt he should know it should be pointed out. He said it was because he was telling Ted to not sleep with Kat, but I told him it's something I've noticed before. As Mike pointed out before, Ted is a rude person. I hope he didn't forget the crap he pulled on his birthday with inviting his friends and spending time with them instead of Mike...
