what a way to spend a birthday.

i worked tonight, and i really had a good time for the first part of the night. i made about $150 and the bar wasn't that busy. there was a band that played the tune of happy birthday while some of the guys and a couple of girls that work at the bar sang. i probably had about six shots of jager and all was fun.

then it went downhill. a few of the customers really got out of hand and i turned the bitchy side on. it didn't help that i was sobering up and all i wanted to do was go home.

then kyle had to make a comment. he's jenny's friend and i don't have a clue why someone decent like her spends her time hanging around with him. he didn't do anything all that miserable, don't get me wrong, but everything kyle does is miserable. kyle is just a self-centered stuck up asshole. i wasn't in the mood for him - i never am - but i didn't have to pretend i was. i told him he needed to leave the bar or i'd have him kicked out. he kept on, because he's kyle, and that's what he does. the bouncer told him something and he backed off.

so i work, and during the closing shift, the bar area pulls in 1400. that means one other bartender and i made that much in sales. the other barender was cut at 1:00, so at three, i had to count the drawer down.

which took forever. i was not looking forward to going home because i expected kyle to be there with jen.

when i got home i was relieved to find that neither of them were here. i sat down at the computer around 3:45 to work on my projects that are due tomorrow. melanie called me and i talked to her for a little bit.

and then around 4:00 jen comes home. kyle is shortly behind her, and i tell him right away that he's not welcome to stay in my apartment. i told him he could go straight to jen's room and stay but he was not welcome to stay in the same area as i was.

this he was not impressed with. he wanted me to talk to him about it and i told him we could talk when he was sober. he insisted we talk and refused to leave my apartment. i called 911 and was on the phone with the police when he decided to walk out of the door. jen said the two of them were going somewhere else.

but they stay outside. jen came back inside to grab her purse and she asks me about what happened. she's too drunk to comprehend, so i tell her we'll talk about it tomorrow. she keeps on and all i'll say is that kyle disrespected me in a big way and that if i didn't know who i was i would be really upset.

so kyle comes back in.

and surely tomorrow when i look i'll have bruises on my arms and wrists. the events that occured afterwards were too quick. i know i screamed loudly and threated to call 911 again. i know at one point i was holding a knife with 911 on the phone.

and i barracaded the door. jen screamed at me for about twenty minutes about how she couldn't get in her own apartment. i didn't bother listening to any of the things she said.

so yeah. great roommate. great night.

birthday fun, huh?
