I Didn't Deserve That! (At least I don't think I did)

This episode of my life took place in 1989.  I'm going to one of my closest friend's wedding in Cincinnati, Ohio and it's one of the first weddings of my fraternity brothers. So a bunch of my other close college friends are going to be there. It's a 1st for me due to the fact that I'm bringing my serious girlfriend at the time to the wedding. (That serious girlfriend ended up being my wife). So, my buddy who's getting married informed me that my college girlfriend is also coming. (She was my buddy's wife's roommate in college). Let me give you a bit of background on my ex-girlfriend and our relationship. She transferred to Ohio State my junior year not knowing a person. She buddies up with my close friend's girlfriend(The couple getting married in this posting) and we started to date about 2 weeks into her arriving at Ohio State. Huge mistake on her part. She never really made any girlfriends and depended on me as her social life. I liked her. She was fun, liked sports and I'd never really had a serious girlfriend before. Well, it was kind of a tumultuous relationship. I didn't like being so tied down to having a girlfriend (or to one girl-hey, I was 21!) and she wanted to get serious. I mean serious as in "I think we should get married after we graduate" YIKES!!!  So after 2 years of this rocky relationship, I broke up with her( she didn't take it too well-that's another blog posting) and we went on our separate ways. Back to the wedding. I told my girlfriend (see wife) that my ex-girlfriend was going to be at the wedding and she should stay away from her. She asked "Why?"  I said "She's a nice girl but not really that mentally stable." We get to the Cincinnati and there's a hospitality suite at the hotel that everyone is hanging out at. It's Friday night and everyone is having a great time. A lot of us haven't seen each other in a while. One of my buddies walks up to me and says "Hey, you think they're comparing notes?" I look over and ex-girlfriend and current girlfriend are sitting on a couch talking. Not good!  My girlfriend comes up to me and says about my ex, "She's not that bad. She's nicer than you make her out to be"  Oh brother, obviously my ex-girlfriend left her psychotic personality back in her hotel room. The next night is the wedding. Awesome party. Actually, this wedding still has the best hors d'oeuvres I've ever had. Gourmet Corn Dogs. MMMMM!!!  About 2 hours into the party, I've managed to not have any interaction with the ex, when she walks up to me and says "You know, you don't have to ignore me!"  PSYCHO! I was waiting for a boiling pot with a dead bunny to be at my table. I just walked away. The next day, my girlfriend and I are at the airport waiting at the gate for our flight back to Chicago. Ex-Girlfriend(yes, she lived in Chicago too) scuttles past us abruptly to get on the plane. On the flight, I'm sitting on the aisle and my girlfriend is sitting in the middle seat. I think the psychopath is sitting about 10 rows in front of us. The flight attendants start the beverage service and in another hour we'll be home in Chicago. No problem. All of a sudden my ex-girlfriend walks right up to me with a glass of tomato juice and just dumps it all over me. While doing it she says "NOW WE'RE EVEN!" Holy Sh*t!! "Now we're even?"  Sorry, if we were even, you'd have a drink all over you like I did.  On top of it, I was wearing a white shirt! So my girlfriend is freaking out thinking that maybe this mental patient who just dumped her boyfriend with a drink is going to be waiting outside when we get off with something worse than a drink. I had the double task of trying to calm my girlfriend down and myself down. (Never have or ever will hit a woman but this was close). On top of it, everyone sitting around me(mainly a bunch of older ladies) absolutely thought that I did something that deserved this V-8 shower. (Some folks who know me may argue that I did deserve it). So, I went to the lavatory and changed my shirt. No drama the rest of the flight. I haven't seen my ex-girlfriend since that flight. I know this is going to sound weird but I really do hope she is happy and doing well. To this day, if I'm on a plane and someone near me orders a Bloody Mary, V-8 or tomato juice, I put my arms up to shield myself.
