Well onto the updates about my telenovela. So Friday the thirteenth turned out to be a horrible day in the life of the werewolf and vampire. I had really wanted to go see this comedian named Demetri Martin. Tickets to his stand-up comedy show were sold out so my next step was try to find some on craigslist but I had no luck. All that was there were posts of people trying to buy tickets. So I took their lead and posted a wanted post. It read something along the lines of this:
Hi there, I am looking for two tickets to see Demetri Martin at the Music box and the henry fonda on Friday February 13th. I want to surprise my special someone for valentines day. So if anyone out there has any extra please don't hesitate to contact me. Thank you muchos!
So a week went by and I didn't get a respond back. but then five days before the show, a girl named Tammy Le sent me an email. She had two extra but the thing was that they were will call tickets so she'd meet me in front of the will call box. I had no problem with this b/c that way I knew for sure that they weren't fake tickets. She was selling them for $60 each $120 for the pair. I thought it was reasonable considering they were sold out and everyone else marked them up for $120 each. *Regular price was $30 if purchased before they were sold out so it was 100% profit for the girl* So people who know me, know that money is not a factor when it comes to my entertainment. If I really want something I am willing to pay whatever. So this was nothing big or unusual for me. However, when I told the werewolf about this, I neglected to tell him the part about the 100% profit, but he didn't ask either. He assumed that $60 was regular price. So we agreed on taking up this girls offer.
I had also obtained 4 tickets to see Demetri on Jimmy Kimmel that thursday before his show, but I gave my bro and his friends those tickets b/c they really wanted to go see him as well. And since I had tickets to his actual stand-up there was no point in going to Jimmy Kimmel anymore.
Friday the 13th came and we went on our way to hollywood. We arrived an hour early from the meeting time with Tammy and we were both hungry. The werewolf suggested that we go eat dinner at Roscoe's. I wasn't really feeling it b/c we had fried chicken at home but said fine whatever, if you want to go, I'll go with you. So we went and ate. I didn't finish mine, so he finished for the both of us. He then started to ask if Tammy had called or texted me and I said no not yet, I think we should hit her up and see if she's here. Then I told him how we were really lucky to have gotten these tickets b/c it was sold out, even though she marked up the price 50%. That's when things turned ugly.
(W-Werewolf)
(V-Vampire *me)
W- "what!?! that is ridiculous! "
V- "what is?"
W- "that we are paying double what a regular ticket would have cost, I don't want to pay that much! "
V- "fine then don't worry, give me $30 and I'll pay the rest. I don't care."
W-"No, i'm not going to let you pay that much either. "
V-"Why I don't care about the money"
W-" its not the money i care about its the whole principle of the matter."
V- "what principle?"
W- "that she up'd the price and is making profit!"
V- "so what? i'd do the same."
W-"text her and tell her we'll do it for $100 for the pair. thats $50 each."
V-"no you tell her, here...this is her number."
W-"fine"
so he sent her a text saying we miscalculated our expenses with dinner and so now we only have $100 left.
she texted back saying she was still on her way and that we'd talk about it when she got here.
so then he said, you know what i don't want to go anymore. lets go do something else.
V- "what? but i really want to go! "
W-"well i'm not going."
V- "fine then if we don't go what else are we gong to do?"
W-"idk any ideas?"
V-"no! cuz i want to see Demetri."
W- "here i'm sending her this text saying sorry we aren't going to buy the tickets anymore"
V- "no, you wouldn't!"
and he pushed the send button.
V- "No you stupid jerk...now i feel bad for Tammy and my bro. YOu can't just back out now. we are already here. if you didn't want to come you should have told me earlier. so my bro could have come with me."
W-"well i didn't know that she had up'd the price"
V-"you never asked!"
W-"well how was i supposed to know I had to ask!?"
V-" when you buy things off craigslist, its a given that the price has been marked up!"
W-"well i don't use craigslist, and i don't go to shows and these kinds of events as often as you do."
V- "k fine whatever, lets just find something to do then."
W-" well what do you want to do."
V- "you know what, i don't care, do whatever you want."
W-" well i want your input on what we do."
V- "fine, my friend in yellow red sparks is doing a free show in irvine. it's at 10pm so we have 2 hours to get there."
W- "ok but will i like the music?"
V-"probably no but who cares. not much around here that you like to do. all thats open are bars and clubs which you do not like to go to."
W-"k fine, we'll go there. but what if we watch a movie at the manns chinese theatre?"
V- "no i'm not going to watch that scary friday the 13th movie. i hate scary movies. if you spend the day with me tomorrow, i 'll watch it with you."
W- "not the whole vday thing again! i don't you its a made up holiday by hallmark which i don't celebrate. you just want to hang with me cuz its vday. vday should be everyday not just one day. so no i won't hang with you tomorrow."
V-fine whatever, jerk
so we hopped on the 101 going back towards the 60 and it was jammed packed.
W-we aren't going to make it on time in this traffic. i'm going to exit.
I put a blanket over my head so i didn't have to see him.
V-fine whatever, do whatever you want.
W-lets stop at the gas station and call up the laugh factory, see who's performing tonight and maybe we can get tickets for that.
V-"no the only comedian i want to see is Demetri Martin"
so he stops and calls and its dane cook (which we both hate) and its sold out. again i rant on about how the only thing to do in hollywood are clubs and bars but he won't go and do that so there's nothing here for us to do. so he drives and blasts his music that he knows i hate, in hopes to get a reaction out of me b/c at this point i'm so pissed off that i'm not talking to him anymore. so i being the smart and stubborn one, bust out my iphone and put my headphones on and listen to my music under the blanket. He then stopped his music and could hear my music blasting on my end. so he took off my blanket and took the headphones off my head.
W-so thats why you were so quiet.
V-have you figured out what we are going to do yet?
W-no
V- okay then give me back my head phones then.
W-no
V-"ugh!" and i put the blanket back on over my head
he keeps on driving and he doesn't know his way around hollywood. i was the navigator so we are probably lost somewhere and he has no clue where he's gong. i take a peek and see that we are near rodeo drive. and i ask where we are going...(i have a clue, he's taking me to the cookie place in westwood cuz i love cookies and they make me happy). and he responds with a "don't look, its a surprise."
V-no its not, i know where we are going...how did you manage to get yourself here w/0 my help?
W- no you dont know, and don't peek anymore until we get there.
V- fine
so i started to get a bit happy b/c he was trying to be nice and make the situation a bit better.
but then i remembered what had happen and i get upset again. so i say
V- we are going to the cookie place aren't we. i don't want a cookie! i'm full, we just ate. i'm not hungry.
W- well then don't eat a cookie, but i want one so we are going to go get some.
V-fine i'll go but i won't eat any.
so we park and we get out and start walking over there. whole time he's trying to hug me, hold my hand and hold me but i keep refusing. we get in line and he hugs me and says, stop being a brat. why are you acting like this. we're supposed to be a team aren't we?
V- so we're a team? is that what we are? fine i guess.
W- well i kept asking your input on things the whole night but you kept bashing me.
V- well you pissed me off.
W- I'm sorry, i know i messed up, and i'm trying to make up for it but your not letting me. how about after we get cookies i'll take you to bj's and buy you a beer.
V-no they don't have my beer at bj's.
W- well whats your beer?
V- dos x's
W- well i'm sure they can make you a drink that you do like
V-no they can't.
W- fine then
so we get to the front of the line and he orders his cookie and then two bags with a dozen cookies in each.
in my head i'm like aww ok he's trying to be nice so i have to be nice. all i asked for vday was freaking cookie and now he just went and got me a dozen. but then he had to go ruin it for himself again. he hands me a bag and says here for your brothers. that totally just blew me off the edge.
V- my brothers? ok well thank you on my brothers behalf.
W-well they are for you too.
V- no, no you said my brothers. I'll be sure not to eat one now.
W-oh come on stop being like that.
V-hurry and eat your cookie so we can leave.
W-fine
we drive back home, super longest car ride ever. he changes the music and puts one of my cd's in (feist) and i sing my heart out all way home. we get back to his apartment complex and parks infront of my car that is in his parking spot.
W-so what do you want to do now?
V- i don't know whatever you want to do, i don't care (in my head, if you invite me up all will be forgiven, lets just cuddle and talk it over and makeup)
W- ok well then i say we call it a night
V- (what? thats it? its barely 11) ok, fine by me. well then thank you for a very uneventful evening.
W-well are you getting out? your car is in my spot so i can't park till you leave.
V- oh yeah right, fine, oh and can i get my headphones back please.
i walk out with the blanket
W- ok well can i get my blanket?
V-its cold, and i'm cold so the blanket comes with me. you'll get it back later.
got in my car, he comes over to me and tries to kiss me but i pushed him back and turned my head.
V-good night.
and i left.
