My year started off so horribly. Seems my last 1 week stand left me a little parting present which I unknowingly passed on to a friend of mine because I was so far gone and putting on a condom was just too much work. So I wake up New Years Day stumble around a room full of people trying to find my pants then head to the bus stop (which is like 30 minutes late). When I get home I find that my roommate had not left his half of the rent and our landlord had already threatened to kick us out if we were late on rent again. So all morning I'm nursing a hangover, fearing that I'm going to be evicted, and having to listen to the Vietnamese family downstairs do karaoke. Finally my landlord comes over but lets us stay because I gave him my half of the rent, but he did give us a warning for throwing our cigarette butts out the window. So finally I decide to take a nap and just prepare myself for work the next day, I wake up at around 8 PM to 16 text messages on my phone from friends, all asking me if I wore a condom when I slept with my one week stand. Yes, my friend who I slept with the night before decided to tell everyone but me that she was experiencing symptoms of Chlamydia. So I'm freaking out, I decide to call up a friend of mine who works as an escort because if anyone knows what to do she will and she takes me to a clinic, buys me dinner, and takes a drive with me telling me it's OK that I'm freaking out. This event was pretty much the thing that ****ed my entire year up, why I moved back to Reno, why I quit my well paying albeit boring job, and so many other things.
I eventually got over the embarrassment when a friend of mine took me out to a bar and told me "I don't know why you're so upset about it man, chlamydia is so easy to treat it's almost cool to have because it proves you're having sex". This was probably the best thing I've had said to me this entire year because it put me in a very chirpy mood and helped me get over the embarrassment.
