Oh Jeeze [I wanna be sedated]

Oh Jeeze is right, my goodness bloggers, I feel bad. I haven't updated in awhile huh? Well, I went to a party last night at my god-parent's house, well, in actuality it was across the street. My mom pulled me aside, and pointed to this woman I didn't know, and said "See that girl over there, the one with the long hair?" and I had noticed her a bunch of times, but I hadn't spoken to her, and I nodded, and my mom goes "She's the woman your dad cheated on me with." (This was before I was born) I nearly felt my jaw drop, as I turned, and looked at her in shock. "What?" I asked, and she merely nodded, before smiling her evil smile, and saying "You should go up to her and say 'Hi I'm Brian Cooke's Daughter'" we laughed, and then later in the night I found myself in the situation where it was acceptable to tell her who I was. It was a friend's birthday party, you see, so, she was saying:
"I've known him (the birthday boy) for years." and I replied with
"Oh, yeah, he was friends with my dad." I'm so bad sometimes. After she asked who my dad was I casually looked over at her. She's not very pretty. In fact, she looked kind of burnt out, but, I sort of smirked, and said "Brian Cooke."
and she was just like "Oh, I've known him since I was 14, I remember him, we went to high school together." and I couldn't help but think 'Yeah, I know you know him lady'.
She then was talking about something, and I said "Yeah, my mom is around her somewhere," she asked who, so I replied with "Oh, Rachel."
Bloggers, if you could have seen her face, she knew exactly who my mum was, and oh man, it felt good. I don't mean to be a jerk, but in my own little way, I am.
She responded to who my mom was once she pulled together in those two seconds, and then smiled, and went "Oh, so that's why I knew her! I was just like 'Did we go to high school together?' when we met."
I merely smiled, and laughed, and then she pulled her boyfriend over, who was an equally burnt out guy that could have been friends with my dad, knowing some of the people he used to hang out with.
"Travis, this is Ariel, this is Brian Cooke's Daughter!" she said, as he shook my hand, and suddenly something changed in his face, and he looked excited. (Oh shit?)
"Oh my god!" he went, as he shook my hand. "It is an honor" (Or something equally as weird) "I've known your dad since high school, I haven't seen him since I was 17, my god it is so weird, I was just thinking about him the other day, you know, just randomly thinking about him, I was thinking 'I wonder how Brian Cooke is doing. I wonder what Brian Cooke is up to' and now, a few days later, here you are, his daughter, isn't that weird, because I was just thinking about him...' He said a lot of things twice, and spoke like he was stoned, but, I knew he was just burnt out.
It's weird seeing a blast from my dad's past. Travis even told me, as I was leaving, to tell my dad, and I quote (you'll love this Bloggers) "Tell your dad you partied with Travis .... Tell your dad you partied with Travis ...." (I won't put up his last name) But, don't you love it, I mean, who the hell tells their ex-friend's 16-year old daughter! My god, some people, but, whatever, burnt out ex dead-heads are weird. I mean, I know plenty of burn-outs (I guess) but still, it's weird.
She mentioned she hadn't seen my dad since the accident, my dad was in this really bad accident about two years, maybe a year before I was born, and he was really messed up afterwards, and sometimes his knee still bothers him (I wonder if you can inherit a bad knee if the parson got it in a car accident?), but my mom, on the way home goes "She said she hadn't seen him since the accident? That sounds about right, I remember her, I was at the hospital, and she brought him all these cards she had made herself, and I realized who she was, and yelled at him, and I never saw her again."

How's about that for a blast from the past, eh bloggers?
