Drinking, Drinking & More Drinking or It Turned Out Pretty Good

So last night was the fundraising social for Jay's fringe festival group's cross Canada tour. Based on what Jay had said, I was expecting a disaster but it ended up being really great! I've always said that a social is what you make of it and this was no different. There were a fair number of people there that I knew so conversation was no problem. It was also my way of supporting the group by drinking a lot. I believe I had in the area of 10 drinks. I wasn't super drunk or anything, but I definitely had a bit of a buzz going on. I was most impressed with the DJ not merely playing shitty top 40 stuff. He did a good job of mixing in 60's, 70's and 80's stuff. Before I forget, Ryan said something that was really jerk-ish of him. I asked him if he was going to Jay's social and he said "people that have no social life have no idea at how to put on a good social." Then I reminded him that it was to support Jay and he said "no one is going to show up and it's going to suck, so why should I go?" Now Ryan may be a friend but this was a total cock thing to say. He did show up though in the end but when I confronted him about the evening turning out pretty awesome he said "I've been talking to people and the general consensus is thumbs down." Who the hell was he talking to? Everyone seemed to be having a good time... I think he's just a dickwad... When he says stuff like that, it makes it much harder to defend him to all the people I know that aren't all that fond of him. Mostly because he is kinda dumb, has ZERO tact, and has not really grown up since high school (he still acts the same was he did while on the high school football team). He's still my friend though. It was also strange to see Matt drinking. He was always someone who NEVER drank... this has only changed since he started to go out with Cassie, as she drinks. His reasoning is that if she is going to be drunk, he should be too... as sober he finds her annoying when drunk. Fair enough...
After the social was over and we took all the unopened beer back to the vendor, we adjourned to Tyler's apartment for some donuts, more drinking, and the inhalation of a certain substance. I didn't get home till about 4:30 am and by that time I was buzzed and a little high. I also had a really odd dream (that I think would make a cool short movie) involving a midget and nazi's running around in a maze. Damn it was fucked up...
The moral of this story is twofold: Ryan is a twat, and socials are fun when surrounded by like-minded people.
