| I hate Christmas parties when the host is a really tiring person...

Well, two days ago I called around all my buddies and other people I know to wish them Happy Holydays when I came around a number of a guy I haven't seen in over a year and I went "H'mm, how is he doing?"
So I made the mistake of calling him.
He was very cheerful, glad to hear from me again after all that time, he and his girlfriend were going to get wed and she was pregnant of their first child and due to deliver in about two weeks. So he invited me over to the Boxing day brunch he was throwing because as he told me: "After becoming a born again Christian, it's the right thing to rekindle old friendships."
So I went there, figuring that he had changed since the last time I saw him, because the last time he was boring me to tears with his never ending raves about seemingly everything he had an opinion about.
Nope, he was the same, blabbing to everybody and about everything non-stop and never giving other people a chance to say anything back. He was trying to coax me into helping him arrange his marriage party, telling me to come along with him to get a suit for the ceremony, (Hey HE'S getting married, not me!) trying to help him get a band for the party, maybe even making him a special wedding guitar, it just went on and on and on and on and on and on...
As I left the party and got into my car I was reminded why I failed to keep in contact with the guy: he's tiring and tiring in the worst way. And I fear that just by visiting him, I have once again fell into this death trap of knowing him.
I'll rather come home exhausted from working hard all day than come home exhausted from having to deal with people who are tiring.
Serves me right for calling his damn phone number.
