So every year Sean and I host a massive Chrismukkah party at our house. It's effectively a made-up holiday popularised by The OC (the single greatest TV show ever made) combining Christmas and Hanukkah into one massive super holiday for mixed Jewish and Christian households. Now, we're not Jews, but I guess I'm pretty stingey with money. We're not Christians, but be a fly on the wall during an intense game of Modern Warfare 2 and you will hear plenty of "Oh Jesus Fucking Christ!" or "For God's Sake!". Yeah, that's enough justification for us.
Christmukkah is our biggest party of the year and it pretty much sets the standard for house parties. It's our marquee event and it is pretty epic. This year we plan on really pushing the boat out and sharing the Chrismukkah experience with as many people as possible, and we plan on throwing in some fantastic surprises throughout the night. Just looking at the names that will be on the guestlist this year gets me buzzing: Williams, Zoe, Peppa, Baker, 'She who must not be named', Sarah K, Sarah W, Meg... loads of massive personalities. It promises to really be something special this year.
Annie.
I keep thinking it over in my head, and I get no closer to deciding. Do I invite her to Chrismukkah or not?
Here's some pros and cons.
Reasons to invite Annie to Chrismukkah
- She's very popular.
- She's beautiful.
- She's friends with Sean.
- She leaves for Oz a few weeks later, so this will be her last house party.
- I wouldn't want her to leave on a sour note.
- She was a big part of my life.
- She makes lovely cakes.
- I already told her at the BBQ that she could come.
- She will wear a low cut top and have her fake breasts hanging out all over the place.
Reasons NOT to invite Annie to Chrismukkah
- She still walks around like it's her house.
- I wouldn't feel comfortable spending time with 'She who must not be named' when Annie was in the room.
- She doesn't drink because of the calories.
- She usually expects to sleep here.
- She moans (in general, not in bed).
- She always manages to piss me off somehow.
- I don't enjoy her company.
- I wouldn't want Peppa to feel uncomfortable.
- My closest friends (Peppa, Shepps, Martin) don't like her.
- I don't like her.
- She will wear a low cut top and have her fake breasts hanging out all over the place.
Quite the predicament. Can I really not invite Annie to Chrismukkah? Do I have it in me not to invite her? She's been a fixture of our house parties since the start; trying to imagine one without her is difficult. She would be crushed. But then again, could the absence of Annie be a blessing? Could it unleash me from my metaphorical shackles? To be able to mingle, kiss and sleep with guests without fear of upsetting the ex-fiancee... that sounds ideal. It's my party and I'll have sex if I want to!

You almost made it through an entire post there buddy! :p
ReplyDeleteIn my honest opinion, if you already told her she could come, that's kind of an invitation. If you don't want her show up DO NOT REMIND HER! Just be prepared if she does show up, afterall, you told her she could.
ps: Thanks for the luck! I did the best I possibly could do during the interview. So now it's just up to the fates to decide. Don't worry, I will keep you posted ;D
With Annie, it is time to cut the cord my friend. Why is she still in your life, anyway? Emma is as good an excuse as any to get Annie, who you still seem to be infatuated with despite her obvious toxicity, out of your life!
ReplyDeleteTime to move on, don't let her and her boobs ruin a good party.
I agree with Julia. She should understand that she would make at least 4 people at the party uncomfortable because they don't like her, and if she had any common sense she wouldn't show up merely because of that fact.
