we went to the fireman's ball tonight with my parents. we got 4 tickets and for the life of us could not find another couple to go with us. we have no friends i tell ya. so i asked my parents, and my dad didn't even want to go at first, but my mom convinced him to don his suit and join us. we had an ok time. tres fancy. some men were in tuxedos and women in gowns. i felt very shi-shi. i saw this guy there too... a guy that i am not very fond of.
here's the story. i used to live in san jose, a prime apartment right across from campus for a very good price. anyways, something happened and my old roomate started to not get along as well as we used to. to make a very long story short, her boyfriend, this guy i will call mike, and i got into a heated arguement, he called me a bitch. i got very offended and slapped him. he looked down at me with evil eyes that i'll never forget and punched me in the face which caused me to tumble down to the floor. my other roomate kelly screamed and ran towards him, he grabbed her by the neck then slammed her against the door. it took 3 other ppl to get him off of her. so anyways, the point of my recap, i saw mike a couple of years ago at a cherry blossom festival in a sheriff's uniform. i've seen him a few times at various events in uniform and i know that he's seen me too. and i saw him tonight in uniform at the fireman's ball using a hand held metal detector checking people in. i'm all for changing for the better, but for some reason, i'm not happy for him. does that make me a bad person? i think that i'm being very selfish. i guess in my head, i would really appreciate an apology from him. i know that i'll never get it, but i guess that would really impress me and prove to me that he has changed. but who am i for him to need to impress right? for all i know, he could care less or just have forgotten about this incident that happened over 4 years ago.
whatever. i should just get over it. it's been over and done with for many years now. it's not like it's psychologically damaged me in any way. just a bit of lingering anger and hurt. nothing serious.
other than that, the ball was fine. a silent auction, lots of fine finger foods, desserts, and alcohol that were donated. unfortunately, if you wanted some water, you had to chalk up $3.00 at the bar. my dad didnt' like that at all and voiced his opinion loud and louder. luckily the music was loud and not everyone heard him. so embarassing sometimes. we wanted to wait for the STOMP performance, but it wasn't until 12:30 am and by 10:30, i was ready to jet. i guess i'll have to catch them another time.
