I love my friends. They are so sweet to call in order to keep me in the loop even though I don't have texting. But I almost wish I didn't know.
Last night my friend Lizzie went out drinking with her boyfriend. They got back to her house at like 4am and she wanted to go to sleep. He did not. They fought over it and he choked her. Like she has bruises and almost threw up and she screamed and called 911 and everything.
The police arrested him, and his parents came to pick him up. Today Lizzie is really sad and mostly sad that now that he left like that she doesn't think he'll ever talk to her again.
She keeps saying "this was just one event, not a pattern." I say she is cuckoopants. Who the hell wants to see if an event like that WILL turn into a pattern?
We are all arguing about it. Jackie says she totally sees both sides. Liza says it's not as black and white as it seems. That people drink, get in crazy fights, do stupid things. Both people can be at fault and both people can be the victim.
I don't know. I've drank too much. I've danced on my share of tables. I've stumbled down the street doing the walk of shame. I've fought with Josh. But any time I've beat the shit out of somebody it's been like, a totally sober decision.
Today is not a shrinking day but I may go pick Dani up from mother's helpering so I can talk to Craig about this.

She should stay away from this dude for ever. Anyone who would treat a girl in such a way deserves what he got. You never put your hands around someones neck, drunk or not. As a matter of fact, drunk you could easily get out of control and kill her.
No matter what she said, no matter what she did, no matter what she called him, it cannot be forgiven. If they were my students, I would be sending her for counseling and he would be removed from the school as a danger. No ifs, ands, or buts.
You're right on this one. People make mistakes and maybe this guy did and it'll never happen again. But mistakes don't usually go as far as bruises and having to call 911. I'd stay away from him forever. That's doing him a favor too because maybe it'll help him realize how serious what he did is.
