pokes

I wish I had it in me to retell this story. Played poker, friend's gf antagonized me all night to the pt where it became abusive and beyond offensive. I told her off, my "friend" comes to his gf's rescue, which is funny bc i said one thing in retaliation whereas she had been abusing me for about 20 minutes and yet somehow I was attacked. I feel like shit for beating my friend up but I stopped after i had hit him twice, and i only fought back after he had sucker punched me in the side of the head, which is how the fight began. Even so, how horrible, one of my best friends attacked me bc he felt the need to defend his gf's wounded pride. Odd part is that i barely said anything, didn't instigate anything, and yet somehow i was made to feel, by all our friends present, who did nothing to prevent him from attacking me, that I overreacted. I can't belioeve i got attacked, sucker punched, by someone 6 foot seven, way larger than me, and bc i won the fight i'm in the wrong. Actually, no one thinks i'm in the wrong but they all have ideas of how i should have handled it. I hate to sound like an ass, it's been over 5 yrs since i was in a fight, but apparently i'm not entitled to defend myself, perhaps even spazz out when someone who is supposed to be one of my best friends sucker hooks me in the temple, while i'm not facing him, bc i told his gf she was a dumb cunt, which she is. What a rant, i needed to write this down if only so i can refer to it tomorrow.
