Aye, tonight was really fun, for the most part. The McKrye song really got us going (and drinking, for the chorus called for a toast each time).

The only not awesome thing was me...jealousy is a divisive emotion. Must suppress/destroy it. Plus I wanted to talk to someone, but it seemed like they'd just keep blowing me off each time, which made me feel like crap for a while. But then, later, I went "wtf? Why do I care? If they aren't willing to talk to me, why should I bother?"

It hurt all the more because I was told, a few different times, that the person was looking forward to talking and hanging out and get back to normal. And all the person seemed to want to do is not talk to me and go back and flirt. Ouch. Talk about feeling like being shoved down in shit, then put through a meat grinder.

To deal with this, I just said "screw this" and walked around outside in the cold night air for 10-15 minutes. Actually, I felt the need to do so several times throughout the party.

Now, this bodes the forbidden question: is a friendship worth it if all it brings you is hurt and pain? I don't know. I'm going to need to think long and hard about the answer to this question.

The Two Towers, extended special edition, is fucking long. Wicked fucking long. Note to everyone: don't EVER play the Lord of the Rings drinking game. The movies are WAY too long. I didn't play in it, but damn, thats ALOT of drinking...and in retrospect, I wish I had played.

The food was EXCELLENT. Turkey, ham, stuffing, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, etc. etc.. Lots of it, too. I just kept eating and eating and eating and eating and eating and....yeah, sort of like the Energizer Bunny. Wasn't able to eat much early on in the night, but later, after a few people had left, I was ravenously starving and ate and ate and ate.

Ok, forgot to tell you guys. I'm so tired that when I get up to brush my teeth, I've got about a 90% chance of falling asleep during the effort and falling to the floor.

So tonight was really fun, but at times was painful. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, I guess.
