But I wanted to go April 15, 2002 - 1:30 a.m. Feeling kind of pissed right now. Not downright angry. I don't want to break shit. No yelling will be involved here. Slightly aggravated. Annoyed. Something along those lines. At work Friday, my boyfriend and I found out about a movie marathon that was to run all weekend at a University in state. It would consist of various lectures and have a bunch of independent films. Sounds awesome, especially to a movie whore like me. But with work taking place during the event, and no sick days to use, we were beginning to get bummed. Until reading further and finding that part of it would continue on Monday as well. Ready for sprinkles on the ice cream? The event on Monday... is Kevin Smith giving a lecture!! 90 minutes of him speaking. Sounds like it'll completely rock. Except..... that my boyfriend doesn't think he'll be able to go, for various reasons. Petty excuses. Whole bunch of suck... I was really looking forward to it. He said he was still debating, so the possibility was still there. I get a phone call around 5pm this evening. He's calling before going to his game, just to say Hi. In our brief conversation, he mentions telling his uncle about the lecture. Then he precedes to explain that his uncle called him back later and has bought 4 tickets. The two of them, and two of his friends. Not me. And I have no way to get my own ticket at this point. The way he worded it, it sounds like his uncle surprised him with the ticket. Just being nice, or whatever. Of course, part of me is very happy that he gets to go. But the other half says 'Fuck you, and don't rub it in my face'. Not only does he get to go while I'm stuck here, it's ruined our average Monday night together. I mean, come on... it's pizza night!! LOL Yeah, I'm just being goofy now. :) I don't want to sound like the typical whiny girlfriend. Really my only grievance has shit to do with him personally. I'm just upset that I didn't get to go. If I had a way to go by myself, I would have. So it's not a matter of being left out, either. He's going to an event that I expressed a great deal of interest in when we first heard about it. But not me! (Can I express anymore, that I'm not going??) As it turns out, Kevin Smith ended up going past his allotted 90 minutes. When they got tired and left, he was still speaking, and into his 4th hour. And... the next day, he was buying tickets for the first 400 people to see Changing Lanes in a local theater. Also, my boyfriend almost had Smith call me. YIKES! He made a phone call, right there, so he could answer a question about how Vulgar was doing. Then he decided to try and call a few other people, but couldn't get ahold of them. So someone in the audience yelled out 'call my roommate'. And he did. I would have died if he called me.
