Mardi Gras

I just don’t understand why some people have to be so crazy.  I realize that different personalities and the way some people were raised plays a role, but some people’s attitudes never fail to amaze me.  Every small town has a person that everyone knows is crazy.  Well Jacksonville Beach has quite a few crazies.  I could, once again, go on and on forever talking about all of the crazy people and what they do every weekend.  I’m seriously considering writing a book about this stuff.  Anyway, since last night was so magical I decided this morning to share the fantastic night with you.  Fat Tuesday was yesterday and Harry’s at the beach was having their annual Pardi Gras celebration.  Last year I had A LOT of fun, but I’m gonna keep that one to myself. 

So just a little background.  A good friend of mine dated this guy for about five years.  They were really cute together, but he couldn’t make an effort to go find a job and she got sick of waiting around for him and they called it quits about a year and a half ago.  His sister is also one of my good friends and the two girls have remained best friends even through the breakup.  Well, last year the ex-boyfriend/ brother started dating this CRAZY CRAZY girl.  Everyone knows her because she makes really bad decisions.  I happen to know her from when I was 5 and did gymnastics with her.  Well being the good person she is, my friend, the sister, would always defend the crazy girl when people were saying mean things because her brother seemed really happy.  Lo and behold the crazy girl snapped on the sister because supposedly the sister was talking about the ex-girlfriend at dinner saying she missed seeing her all the time… blah blah blah.  With the fabulous world of myspace, trash talk gets spread around even faster these days.  My friend was trying to let everything go, but the crazy girl was taking everything too far and started disrespecting the family and their house. 

One night I was out on the town and the crazy girl came up to say hi.  We always got along because I stay neutral, I prefer to be drama free.  Well, I got cornered she starts telling me some psycho crazy storied about her boyfriend, mean scary stuff that I did not care to know about, and don’t think I should know about.  It ended up being sooo crazy, it got funny.  With all these great stories, I had to tell my friend about it all, because at the time the crazy girl and my friend’s brother were broken up because she cheated on him, but they were gonna “work things out”.  So I’m telling the stories and we’re all laughing about how crazy this girl is.  Everything gets back to the crazy girl and she now starts saying she wants to beat up my friend.  HAHAHA, we all think it’s hilarious because we go out to have a fun time and this girl is constantly looking for trouble. 

Basically there has been a huge build up for like 4 months and last night everything came to a head.  We were at Harry’s and we saw the girl.  She actually spotted us first and said something rude, so we just walked away.  My friend said hi to her brother and he told her to walk away because he didn’t want to deal with the crazy.  Somehow though, the girl managed to find my friend throughout the night and say rude comments as she walked by.  Finally, the crazy girl said something a little on the sensitive side and my friend threw her entire beer on the crazy.  Just to sum everything up, this is what made the whole night so great.  The crazy girl was being mean and wouldn’t leave my friend alone.  She went too far and got a drink thrown on her.  The security guy came to throw my friend out, but when we explained everything, he let her stay, plus he said if he found the crazy girl he would kick her out. 

I love how karma works because when you mess with the bull you get the horns.  Now I can’t wait to see how this ends up because the crazy girl is at my friends house almost everyday.  She just sits in her boyfriends room and locks the door until he comes home.  Being that he’s 24, he needs to move out and then him and his crazy girlfriend can be crazy together somewhere else… like on the moon or something.
