Housing Issues

I have to say, I'm a little annoyed with my roommate right now. I mean, I know she's always been flaky, and it's always bothered me. I guess now that I have to deal with it regularly, it's just irritating me.
She never remembers anything. We make plans, she forgets. She asks what I'm doing on a given night 20 different times. She just doesn't remember.
This week she hasn't been feeling well. She stayed home from work Tuesday and went home early yesterday. She was supposed to babysit, so I offered to go for her because she was sick. I knew that a) she wouldn't be in the mood to deal with the kid and b) she wouldn't (and shouldn't) want to get the kid sick. So I babysat for her, and what does she do? Stay home, rest up, and have some soup? No. She goes to the bar with this boy who is ridiculously crushing on her and stays over even though she doesn't like him and smokes about 100 cigarettes. You know it's bad when you can smell them from across the room. Then she has the gaul to say something about me "not making it all the way up with my laundry." What the hell? It's not like it's been there for days. I brought it up when I got in and will take it to the third level when I go up there. We aren't having company. Deal with it. Totally annoyed me.
Then today, she e-mails with all these dumb questions we've already talked about. I don't know if she really doesn't remember, or if she doesn't have anything new to say so she just repeats herself rather than not say anything at all. Regardless, it's irritating, and I may snap one of these days.
Ugh.
My other roommate gets moody and lazy. I mean really moody. Like I don't even want to talk to her because she'll bite my head off moody. It's not fun. And she's messy. And I'm not. And I don't like messy. But I think she's getting better.
We are having a party this weekend. Should be fun. Between the three of us, we invited 134 people. I don't know what we were thinking or where all these people came from even! Ridiculous. So far 67 people are coming, 26 are maybes, and 45 haven't responded. I had no idea so many people would be available. I guess that's what happens when you invite almost a month out! We are going to have beer pong/flip cup in the garage, darts in the basement, and music, food, and beverage everywhere. I'm excited. Oh, and the best part is that stupid boy who blew me off is coming. WTF? Blow me off and show up at my party? Not cool. So I'm debating between three scenarios....
1) Play it cool. Say hey and act like everything's normal. Not in a "oooh I like you" way, but in a "hey, fun party, thanks for coming, I'm going to mingle" kind of way.
2) Confront him. Go up to him and lay it all out there. Ask why he was so gung ho about a second date but never called me back. Tell him that I didn't dodge the kiss because I didn't like him.
3) Hire a bouncer (or recruit Kate) to stand at the door with a clipboard. Let everyone in, but when he gets there, be like "Hmmmm, you're not on my list. Hang on. (into the headset) 'We have a gentleman here who's not on the list. Yeah, I think he could cause trouble. Ok.' Sorry, can't let you in. Please leave the premises."
Of course with all of these scenarios, I am going to look incredibly hot. Like, the hottest I've ever looked. So when he gets there, regardless of what I do, he's going to be like "Damn, she's hot. I want to talk to her. Oh wait, I already blew it. Shit."
So that's my fun and exciting life right now. Whoo hoo. Despite my rant, I really do like my house and my roommates. We're having fun. Been acting a little like we're back in college, but that's ok.
