I punched a girl in the face

Let me give you some backstory. Last night, my friends and I had tickets to go to a metal concert (As I Lay Dying.) We got to Seattle just before dark, and parked the truck in one of the many shady parking areas downtown. We get out, and immediately a vagrant comes up talking like Willy James Huff. Go Seattle.

The line wraps around the whole damn block, so we walk to the end and have to deal with the various types of people that inhabit this foul city, and also the people that go to these shows when it's all ages. The metal kids, the punks, the skinheads (music type, not neo-nazi,) the PARENTS of said children, and of course we can't forget... the homosexuals in angel outfits handing out flyers for the circus.

We finally get in the door, and I make my way to the bar. I drink through the first two bands, because why the hell not. I have established a good buzz at this point, as evidenced by the need to relieve myself. I look for the bathroom, it's on the other side of the mosh pit. No other way to get there. I looked at one of my buddies and said " I'll meet you at the front for a.i.l.d. "

I moshed my way to the bathroom.

I came out of the bathroom, and started to make my way to the stage. I am now at the front edge of the mosh pit, so people are slamming into my back. Whatever, it's a metal concert. I turned around and started throwing people around too, now that I'm finally heavy enough to push the emo kids around. It was great, for a minute. Some girl comes flying across the floor at me, looks.. and punches me right in the cash and prizes. That is NOT cool. I push her like I would anyone, and bend over slightly to tend to my now bruised testes. I see her swinging her arms around again as she come running at me with intent to repeat her last action. So I squared up, and punched her in the face. Not a death blow, but a good jab. Right in the mouth. Everyone around us stopped, but they saw what she did the first time, and the people continued with the show. That girl left the mosh pit, and probably have lips that you have to pay for in hollywood right now.

Me, I have slightly bruised testiculars and the satisfaction of instant karma.



*Disclaimer- I am not advocating violence against women, but some people deserve to get hit in the mouth. I merely acted to serve the greater good, as she will probably not hit a guy in the junk anymore. Think what you want of me, you'd have done the same.
