dumblemopSo I'm at the LAN party. Mom bizarrely let me borrow her laptop, which is why I'm able to be updating this right now. I really need me one of these. I was just going to hang out and watch people play games...but that seems to be what most of the girls are doing.
So my mom sees the set-up because she came by to drop off her computer, and then she gets home and calls me and decides that I can't spend the night. So now her deal is that if there are fewer than six girls spending the night, including me, I have to call and one of my parents will pick me up. She thinks it'll be unsafe otherwise.
Now, this is the tamest crowd ever. Like, I won't even get wanted cuddling, let alone unwanted cuddling. Stephen's parents are here. I can take care of myself. And she doesn't want anyone here to take me home because Miles rolled his car the morning after the last one. Now, she heard this story from Stephen's mom. What really happened is that Miles' mom made him go out shopping with her the morning after, in separate cars, and within sight of his house on the way back from shopping, Miles rolled his car. If his mom had driven him, if his mom hadn't made him go out again after staying awake all night, there wouldn't have been a problem.
Thankfully there are six girls staying, excluding me, so I don't have to lie to my parents or go home.
And I think my parents don't really understand the gender thing after all, given the way my mother has been reacting to these gatherings lately. Her first question when she was asking me about the X-men excursion the next day was "were there any other girls there?" I should have responded something along the lines of "Kristin was the only girl there," but I didn't. I may need to sit down with them and have an actual talk about this because I'm not sure they really understand it.
Oh, and the real reason that I wanted to write an entry just now (the complaining was just a sidenote)? There is a reaaaally cute girl here. She's little and she's got reddish-brown hair that comes down to her waist. But, I don't know her, and this is so not the crowd to be obvious about it. I keep half-hearing Dan making "gay" comments, and he should know better. One of the guys I don't know was making some fuss about his roommate turning into a woman earlier, and was somehow tying this to the fact that he was an asshole. I tried to explain that being a woman was an entirely separate issue from being a drug-addict and a jerk and getting kicked out of school. I'm not sure he understood.
So I'm not exactly sure how I feel about staying the night myself if there's anymore evidence that the people here are going to be jerks, so we'll see.
I'm being antisocial because I don't know how to play these games and don't feel like learning, and no one's really playing them right now in the first place. So I have something to do tonight, but it's a great deal less fun than Liz's party would be. But oh well.

Date: 2006-05-28 03:53 am (UTC)*hugs* Love you. :) That's a little weird, I don't expect that. Well, hey, alcohol and freedom people is good, right? And yeah, you keep going on about the *awesome* parties you're going to have with Kate next year, so if you leave me out of those too.... >:P Lol, although I still won't have a car and probably still won't be able to drive anyway. *heart*
