Sinister: saturday night's alright for television

[s. lord]

it was a long weekend - long enough to take till tuesday to feel fully 
recovered - even though there are still shockwaves of discontent flying 
around - i feel genuinly good about myself and how things went - i had a 
friend come down to visit me - and that in itself is usually a chore - it is 
not that she is a bad person or anything - it is just that she makes bad 
choices - and she has gotten into a way of asking people what to do before 
she does anything - i lived with this girl for a year of her life - i left 
the situation feeling about 45 - and that i had just reared a 6 year old 
child for a year - it was time consuming and when you didn't have time it 
was a problem - she would kick and scream and throw tantrums often - if 
things didn't go her way she would break down completely and cry for hours - 
so when i left that situation i rediscovered my life - that was a fantastic 
time - so it must be known that she is also a lovely girl - just a bit 
messed in the head - so she was coming down from minneapolis with a friend 
to go to a party with me on saturday - everything was good for the most part 
- on friday we got drunk on my porch listening to 'boy with the arab strap' 
- lovely album - but it is not quite fall music - so we mixed it up with the 
white stripes and everything was fine - on saturday we spent all day nursing 
hangovers and getting ready for the party that night - the party was sort of 
a belated halloween costume party - we couldn't go out on halloween because 
most people had work in the morning - but the weekend we decided was good 
enough - so we got dressed for the party - the party was dubbed white trash 
and one had to wear something white trash like to gain admittance - funny 
mostly everyone wore something from the 80's - a black sequin and pink 
taffeta bridesmaids dress - a lemon yellow wedding dress that looked early 
80's with a huge bow right on the ass - and i myself had a lovely peach and 
baby blue plaid suit - once at the party we danced to really bad 80's music 
and disco - everything was going well - people were happy and there was much 
merriment - but sometime during the night everything started to unravel - it 
came to my knowledge that the girl i came with was missing - after sevral 
failed attempts to get me to dance she suddenly disappeared - so i stared to 
look for her around the house - she was eventually found crying under the 
deck outside - and it was not my fault either - she said everyone was 
ignoring her - and she was pretty drunk - shortly after that incident my 
friends boyfriend was then found in the laundry room with another boy - oh 
dear things are getting exciting - aparently he was keeping that boy away 
from another boy who aparently wanted him - ? - and to top off the evening - 
someone stole all the hosts perfume out of her bathroom cupboard - that was 
very low of the person who did that  - we were all pretty shocked about that 
- i still do not know who nor have a clue what type of person goes to 
parties looking to pick up a few new fragrences - oh well i believe it shall 
remain a mystery - - the rest of the night was spent tending to the boy 
crying in the bedroom - the girl crying about perfume - the girl angry she 
was being ignored - and the boy angry cause he was caught - thank god 
someone showed up late and drove us all home -
-----------------------------------------------------------------
- interesting i was speaking with a friend of mine last night and she 
commented on how the evening seemed to fly by - the first three hours went 
very quickly - but once everything fell apart time just stopped - it was 
quite true the more i thought about it - everything did get much slower 
after te first problem arose - i can still remember the girl running up the 
stairs in slow motion - eyeliner coursing down her cheeks murmuring - 'ralph 
lauren, where did you go' - although most of that would be the  liquor 
talking i am sure - but oh well - so it goes - i think that will be the last 
party that i will be going to in a long while - suddenly sitting at home and 
watching television on a saturday night does not seem so bad -
