Kirby and I sent the boys to my Mom's overnight on Saturday. This is not something we do often so I was pretty darned excited.
The evening started in a church. First off, let me tell you that Kirby and I are not church goers. We both believe in God but have our issues with him...one of mine is organized religion. HOWEVER, my sister highly recommended the movie Fireproof and the church was showing it (and it was free). So, off we went.
Honestly, the movie was great. It is about a couple who are going through some major challenges in their relationship, on the verge of divorce and the "dare" that the husband takes to get their marriage back on track. Kirk Cameron stars as the husband and firefighter and he did a wonderful job.
It is kind of After School Specialish, it is about accepting God into your life and your relationships. It was, honestly, wonderful. I was, pleasantly, surprised.
After the movie we decided to meet up with some of Kirby's coworkers and go bowling. I haven't been 10 pin bowling in years and I was looking forward to having a great night out without any kids.
The second we walked into the bowling alley, one of Kirby's coworkers (a young, "hawt", girl) SCREAMED at the top of her lungs. And from that moment forward she completely ignored me. She also ignored her boyfriend (she never even introduced him to us).
As the night went on she got progressively worse. The more she drank, the worse she got. She slapped nearly every guy's (and girl's) ass...except mine (not that I am complaining) and thankfully, for HER, not Kirby's. At one point I commented on how much I had drank and she asked if that meant she could rub her ass in my face...I was so shocked I couldn't even speak to her.
And that is not even the worst part.
We were bowling two lanes. Kirby and I and a couple other women were in one lane and she and ALL the other men were in the other. At one point in time I ended up bowling at the same time as her. As I reached for my ball the girl reached out her hand and SLAPPED me. Yes...slapped my arm and told me "that ball is mine".
I was SHOCKED. Who does that? Who, within moments of meeting someone, does that? I could see if she and I knew each other (which we didn't - and, now, never will), a couple of girlfriends, messing around, but we aren't a couple of girlfriends. I didn't even know the girl.
And just to set the record straight, I wasn't even going after "her" ball. I may not be great at 10 pin and I may be "just a girl" but I can certainly handle a ball larger than 7lbs.
I explained to Kirby that, while I may have had a couple of drinks, I was still VERY aware of what was going on and if that
Thankfully, she chose to keep her hands
My mouth, on the other hand, didn't show much restraint. The next time she and I met up to bowl at the same time, she reached out to slap me again as I took a ball and informed her that she looks "like a girl who is used to getting what she wants" and that she was welcome to whichever ball she needed.
I am sure there are women out there who don't feel the need to be center of attention at all times (in fact, the two other women that were there happened to be very nice) but those women tend to come into a room and do just that - be the center of attention (good or bad). I wonder what could have happened in her life that she chooses to act like that in front of complete strangers.

Can't believe how rude she was. A shame you had to deal with her. She sounds like an angry loser.
How odd, was she really drunk or something? Because I know I have really made a fool out of myself back in the day when I drank (like a fish).
Sounds like a lovely lady! :) I hate girls like that--so obnoxious. I'm glad you said something to her! I would have been too chicken to say anything!
*Big sigh* those kind of women wear. me. out.
I was working on a post today ... for later this week (hopefully) about attention whores. I don't like many women either. Attention whores are the worst!
Doesn't it always seem like there's something about women? 'Why can't we all just get along?' That said, there's lots of great women out there--sometimes they're just quieter I guess.
What a biiiiiitch. I hate bowling and last time that we went with friends I had a similarly uncomfortable interaction with a woman there, although neither of us were drinking -- she was just all like "OH GOSH THAT IS MY BALL TEEHEE" when it was the only 7 lb ball between our alleys and most of the women had been sharing it all night.
But yeah, I have a hard time dealing with women in real life too. I always expect them to get nasty and catty, so it colours my interactions with them immediately and I tend to stay way too quiet.
