21st Birthday

Postby shotgun pulse » Sun Nov 06, 2011 1:43 am

I finally turned 21 last night and really wanted to go to a strip club after the bars. My friend had said earlier she wouldn't want to, but then got drunk and decided she did. We get there and she starts getting paranoid, I ignore it. She couldn't find me for a time so she got more nervous then said my dad told her to call him and tell him where I was etc. and that she told him I was at a strip club. I got furious and shoved her really hard, but then I looked at my phone and he hadn't texted me or anything. I yelled at her for awhile then left in a cab. I'm pretty sure none of that even happened because he didn't say anything. I called him and he wasn't concerned at all, just asked me to call him from my friend's phone so he knew I was with said friend. Does it sound like she even said anything?

Before we left she also talked to my dad while I was upstairs getting ready. She's 27 so she's a bit older and I heard them saying I'm nervous/excited, I heard her talking about how she "doesn't really like to go out" and "I know she's excited" which is patronizing, don't ya think? I'm an adult now and my dad isn't overprotective. He lets me make my own choices and he's my parent -- why can't she do the same, she's my FRIEND. All she ever wants to do is get drunk at her house, and complain about the fact that her fiance is more of a drunk than she is. I, on the other hand, am in college and want to have fun. Does it sound like I should drop her? I love her, but where would this friendship go? It was MY ######6 birthday and all she cared about was herself. I feel like she ruined something that was an important milestone to me and at the same time also knocked me for even being excited about it.

This sounds stupid and overdramatic. It's just.. I hate how events like this make you realize how much your "friends" actually suck, when it's supposed to be fun. That's why they make me nervous beforehand.

Another one didn't show up or bother to text me about it or anything.. she does this frequently. I just hate my friends. I barely have any. It must be me.. maybe my anger/keeping people at a distance... I know there's no perfect friend, but it would be nice to have some that actually want to do things that are fun sometimes, and actually care.

I should make more friends at my college (I went home for my b-day) but I'm not sure how.. I only have about a year left and I live alone off-campus..
