Random thoughts.

So, we have a party at my house last night. It was my roommates idea; She wanted to throw a party because she was getting her cast off (a "cast-off party" themed party, we dressed as pirates har har) and it was pretty fun. One of the girls here was basically all over me for much of the evening, which was a bit of interesting situation. I don't know how much she had to drink (apparently at least one bottle of wine by herself). The reason this was interesting, though, was because the one time I met her previously all she did was talk about her boyfriend. Who is in the military and is going overseas for a year. They've been dating for two months, and their plan is basically that after he returns (his time gone, including training, will total something like 15-16 months) they are going to move in together.

I'm not sure what kind of absurd disconnect with reality you need to think this is a workable situation, but he's only been gone a matter of weeks and she was certainly not acting like she was taken last night. After she lost a bet with JP he basically tricked her into kissing me (which was awkward as hell), and she went outside and cried on the phone to this guy for about 30 minutes. Then she came back in, sat down on the couch immediately next to me and tried to cuddle up to me again while explaining that she had to call her boyfriend and apologize.

What the fuck?

Yeah, they're going places.

I saw her again tonight because she was at a Valentine Day's party that I went to with Lauren, Allison and their significant others, and she acted like nothing had happened last night. Which is good because that situation seems like an impending trainwreck which I want no part of. But she was talking all about her boyfriend to Allison and it was all I could do to not burst out laughing.

People act incredibly foolish and naive when it comes to relationships. Granted, there have been times I have made rash or poor decisions (okay lots of them), but this girl's situation just seems like a bad joke that everyone is in on but her.

Anyways, on a note I find truly disheartening, apparently Chris Storey is no longer in All Shall Perish. I know some people have said he is a dick (I really have no opinion as I have never met him) but I really love his playing and thought ASP's last album was an big step forwards from The Price of Existance. Hopefully his replacement is just as good, because I was really looking forward to seeing them in March. Blah.
