I decided to throw a little get-together with my friends, except it just didn't work out quite as planned. I put the meeting place as a BBQ area by the lake, but for some reason all my friends thought it'd be great to bring along packets of chips instead. The ONE guy who brought food which wasn't chips was in fact vegetarian, and basically I was the only one who brought meat for the BBQ. The vegetarian dude had to suffer- but it wasn't like I forgot about him... I mean, at least I TRIED looking for vegetable paddies in the processed food section of the supermarket... I just got bored and couldn't find it. I did try to convince him to become not-vegetarian so he wouldn't have to starve, but I guess it's kinda hard to give up on the religion you've been following for 19 years. Part of me is kind of amused at the idea of giving him a copy of "The God Delusion" and see if he decides to un-vegetarianize himself after, but the truth is I'm just a douchebag and I should take other people's religious beliefs more seriously and make more effort to be respectful. I'm so surprised he hasn't punched me in the face yet, but I'm sure he's been tempted a couple of times. I'm just worried that he's kinda biding his pent up rage, and one day I'm just going to die from the sheer force of his fury.
Anyway getting together with my friends has actually been really fun, and I realize that I do in fact have the best friends one could ask for, even if there are a few bumps here and there and things get ugly.
Hrm it's also the birthday of one of my friends today, but I didn't really get to wish him a proper birthday since he had his own celebratory thing. I think he felt kind of guilty that he couldn't attend my event, which is kind of ridiculous since it's his birthday, so that should trump everything. Anyway I'm thinking of buying him a rug or something, to complement the terrible and racist joke I'm going to make about him riding on magic carpets (I think he's Persian). That or some kind of stuffed camel toy, because I make jokes about him and camels like I do about New Zealanders and sheep.
In summary, I'm a terrible person. I'm just really proud of the fact that I even have friends.
Though the BBQ was largely unsuccessful, 2 of my friends stayed over at my house for ages- they left like less than 30min ago. Those guys were heaps fun to hang out with, and we kinda just watched TV for ages, even though one of them is just the worst fucking TV companion because he gets bored really easily, and when he gets bored he starts making random comments about what he's watching and it gets really fucking annoying. Still, it was a lot of fun with him around and I just enjoyed good company. Things were going well, until the asshole living in my house decided to kick my friends out, and that was super sad. I guess we could always meet up another day though, so that wouldn't be a big deal.
Anyway, today was a good day. I get to find out that I did terribly in my uni exams in a couple of days, so until then, every day is a good day, and right now, I'm a happy person.
