Rocker update...

Yay! So, I just read my first few comments! Thanks guys, I will keep it up, and you keep up the feedback!

Last weekend The Guys played in a battle of the bands (and won!), so we all drove down to Toronto to see them play. Unfortunatly, I had to drive the Irritation down with me.

Irritation had called me that day and asked if I would drive. Now, I love my car, and I love driving, but I hate being taken advantage of. Toronto isn't far, but its not exactly 20 mins either. So, I told Irritation that I would drive down if I got some gas money. He agreed.

BIG mistake. Irritation spent the intire ride down there sharing his opinion with the rest of the car on how weak it is to accept money for gas.

"I don't get why you would accept $10 measly bucks for gas, Irish." He started, "I make $10 in, like, a quarter of an hour. I actually would take it as an insult if someone gave me money for gas. I pay $400 a month for my insurance, and like, fuck, $10 is nothing. I think its so stupid you want gas money for this car, its what, $5 to get down there? Thats so fucking gay. Like, I have no problem giving you it, I just think you should be happy to drive us down there is all..." And so on.

Now, I may drive a Sunfire, but gas to get down there is not $5. Not by a longshot. I also felt I was doing this arse a favour. But I stayed silent. Then we got lost.

"Don't worry, I know this place like the back of my hand, Just follow my directions." And when he got us completly turned around and back on the highway, he called Fallhard for directions. which got us more lost. But thats ok, none of this was still his fault. I'll skip you that running monologue because it was bascially him talking about himself and how I was an idiot.

Anyways, Finally we got to the Club, The Guys played extremely well, and won first.

Right before The Guys went on, Rocker walked past me and said "...looking at small stuff?" Now, I didn't catch the first bit of what he said, but him not speaking to me in almost 3 months left my mouth hanging open in shock. I just stared at him. I couldn't believe he was speaking to me. So I said, as sauve as possible, "A-are you speaking to me?" (smooth) He stared back and said "No." and walked away.

We were all very happy afterwards, and planned on partying hard. Fallhard and his girlfriend, and Irritation and his girlfriend all piled into my car and away we went. Just as we were pulling away, Fallhard and his girlfriend coughed in a very obvious and knowing fashion, and when I looked in the rearview mirror, Fallhard looked back and nudged his head towards Irritation.

Then I smelled it. Beer.

That Arse has opened a beer in my car.

"Um, Irritation, can you not drink in my car please?"

"I'm not drinking, that would be so disrespectful." And away he went, drinking, even after I asked him a few more times during the trip to not drink in my car.

Now, the Irish temper tells me to pull over the car, remove him bodily from the car, and leave him on the side of the highway. However, It's hard to pull over when theres no shoulder, and I also have to consider the other people in the car.

I was LIVID when I got home. I dropped everyone off and the last to go was Irritation. Of course. He kept repeating "I don't get why your so mad" and being drunk, didn't understand that the whole car had smelt the beer. He barely had his feet out of the door when I pulled away.

Not only had one of my friends disrespected me, when he fully realized that him drinking in my car could very well get my license taken away, But he lied about it. And Fallhard didn't even try to stop him. No one backed me up.

The thing that broke the night for me was that Rocker had talked to me. He had probly only spoken to me because his girlfriend wasn't there, but he had made an effort and I just stared at him. I felt like a moron. That chance may not crop up for awhile.
