It just wouldn't be a weekend in the life of Chloe without something dramatic happening. This weekend had 2 ugh instances. The first was with my good friendie, Beau. Beau has had the worst worst worst luck with the ladies. But when he met a hottie, Abby, at the Halloween party and she friended him on FB and started talking to him, he thought maybe his losing streak was over.
Of course it wasn't meant to be.
Abby told Beau that on Friday, she was heading downtown to this club, and that he should so totally come and hang. She told him they were planning on being there at 10 so they could get in free. My hottie, Cameron, and I begrudgingly agreed to go with him and keep him company until Abby showed up. At 11, we were ready to go, but no girl. Finally Beau texted her and she assured him she was just waiting in line downstairs and would be there shortly.
Once she showed up, Beau started buying Abby and her friends drinks. Cameron and I peaced out to have our own little rendezvous. Next morning I wake up to a lovely text from Beau about how girls are jerks, and apparently she was only there for the free drinks- she ignored him the rest of the night and talked to other people. Sigh. One of these days Beau is going to find a nice girl... but he's got to adjust his standards, the hot party girls are not going to do it.
On a different vein, Casey and Kelly broke up this weekend. It didn't come as much of a surprise to anyone, they had been on the rocks for a while, but it's going to be interesting since Kelly moved in with Casey a few months ago, and now needs to get out. He has agreed to move all her stuff for her, but it's not going to be an easy transition. Luckily, my bestie, Aria, was looking at apartments already and wanted a roomie, so looks like that will work out easily. Sucks for Casey though, since he was with the group first and now he fears getting kicked out, cause there is a good possibility this won't end amiably.
Guess that opens the door for a little more drama to come through!

The Trick was definitely not a Treat...
I know Halloween was like a billion years ago, but I absolutely have to start my blog with this story. I suppose you could say my Halloween party turned into a night to remember, for at least a few of my friendies...
Danica and I have been friends for years. Since 2005 I think. That's like forever in Chloe time. But she's been absent from my friend group for quite a while. She started dating this douchebag, Ken, about a year and a half ago, and she turned into one of those friends who disappears when she gets a boyfriend. Halloween was the first time I had seen her in probably 4 months.
Christy just joined our group about 3 months ago. She's this adorable blondie who recently lost 200 lbs and with her new-found confidence, joined the world of online dating with a fervor. And with much success. I'm so proud of her :)
Anyway, right after Christy got to the party, Ken suddenly started feeling 'sick' and ran outside, telling Danica they needed to leave right that minute. Danica refused to go without saying goodbye to everyone first though, so started walking around the party giving hugs. Christy saw Danica's lovely Regina costume, and immediately struck up a conversation with her. Danica told her that she was sorry that she hadn't seen her boy, Ken's, costume, since he was Rumplestiltskin, but he had already removed his wig when he walked outside. "What a coincidence!" said Christy, "this boy I'm talking to is also Rumplestiltskin tonight!" and she whips out her phone to show Danica a picture.
Of course, the picture is of Ken. Uh oh. Danica demands to know why Christa has a picture of her boyfriend on her phone. "Ummm. We met downtown a few weeks ago?" Christa makes up a quick excuse. They'd met on a dating website, but Christa wasn't ready to get involved quite yet. So Danica marches outside to confront Ken, who is literally hiding behind a tree. A freaking tree. He knows he's dead, and doesn't have the balls to face it.
Danica slaps Ken in the face, demanding to know why he was downtown, getting numbers from girls. He makes up some lame excuse about them both being from Michigan (true) so he was having a nice time talking to someone about home. Ok, whatever, Danica is fuming and decides it's time to go home.
I have NO IDEA where I am during all this drama. Making out with my new hottiepants in the back bedroom maybe? But once I make an appearance in the main room of the house, Christy races over to me to tell me how she is a homewrecker without ever meaning to be. So I get most of the story from her, get a good laugh out of it cause I know Ken is a dick, and proceed to make sure everyone in my party knows the story so they can enjoy this drama as much as I am.
Next day, I'm talking to my bestie, Aria, and she informs me that Danica doesn't know that Ken has been dicking around on dating websites, since that never came out with the story Ken and Christy told her. She also doesn't know that Ken had been on a date with Christy just 4 days earlier. Everyone decides it's up to me to tell her, since I'm the closest. Ugh, I like being in the middle of the drama, but I hate being the messenger of bad news!
So I message Danica, letting her know the dirty deets. She calls a half hour, a total mess, telling me how she kicked him out and is furious and upset and just a disaster. I calm her down a little and get off the phone. Few hours later, I get a text from her, she's gone on his ipad and found him sexting with another 2 girls and making up all sorts of stories about himself. Eww. She takes screenshots of this and emails them to his mom and dad. Haha. A woman scorned....
Ok, back to my boring, mostly drama-free job. Until the next exciting chapter!

I swear, this stuff just follows me
In high school, you expect a certain level of drama. With a couple thousand hormone-fueled young people crammed into one space, each trying to build a reputation, figure out where they fit in the grand scheme of the world, yeah, you're going to run into more OMG situations than you ever wanted to handle. So when my high school life was filled with dramatics, it was okay, I was assured that college would be much different. But then college happened. And I assure you I could write a novel on the drama of college life. But, hey, everyone's finally moved away from home, trying to establish independence, this isn't the real world just yet. Adulthood is on the horizon, and I was sure that would finally be a calm time.
Boy was I wrong.
It's not like I ask for it. It just follows me around. I regale my coworkers with the stories of my life, how much of it comes straight from the pages of a book or a movie, even though I work an incredibly unassuming job (I'm a civil engineer) and have a fantastic group of friends. They encouraged me to write these things down and share.
So here is the adventure that is my life, prepare for a bumpy ride.
