march marches on
clearly it's been a month of hits and misses. right now i'm getting some good stuff, so i thought i'd make a note of it.
last friday bogie and i went out with jeffy and his friend (don't remember his name)
we went to halo, a fancy pants gay bar in dupont. the martini's were buy one get one, so we took liberal advantage of that.
then we were over to this other club on the other side of dupont. when we got in it was pretty empty, and the millionaire who's all loopy over jeffy was there. bogie and i didn't want to get into the drama, so we just drank, chatted with the bartender and made out all night. jeff was pretty excited over it all, and demanded we tell him how he rated as a kisser. it was pretty strange, and i gave a low rating, but bogie thought it was hilarious. poor echo. when we got home we were trashed out of our minds, and she had to deal with our madness, including jeff chasing her around the house trying to kiss her. bogie crashed with us for the night, and we spent the next 10 hours taking turns being sick.
saturday was spent being as lazy as humanly possible. we were SUPPOSED to meet up on saturday for a ladie's night, so echo and i went to a movie before. we went to see the other boleyn girl, and had JUST enough time to sneak into 10,000 bc and only be about 10 minutes late for girl's night. about halfway thru, erin texted to say she wouldn't be able to make it, and we hadn't heard from tina, so echo and i decided to just stay at the theatre and see as many movie's as we could. turned out we could also see bank job, and college road trip. boleyn was Roughly worth the $11. 10,000 BC wasn't. bank job was VERY surprising, and i enjoyed it. college road trip was worse than i thought it would be. which is saying something.
when we got out, i received a text from erin telling me she'd gotten engaged! what?! i was stunned. speechless. so excited and stunned.
afterwards echo and i agreed we couldn't just go home, so we went to sid and nancy's for tasty diner food.
sunday was work work work, no film club, but staying in with echo and sarah, which was excellent.
monday i worked all day, and i was SWAMPED at the bar. erin, brock, bogie, her friend, and echo all came in. we ate, we drank, we played apples to apples. it was lovely. too bad i was SOOOO busy i hardly had any time to hang out with them. those rugby boys just take ALL our attention, but cara said she'd bring someone else on to help us out.
tuesday i was just exhausted and miserable. i wanted to have a date with schmitty, but we wound up having a happy hour instead. at least he moved it to l'enfant for me, so i could have crepes, but it was not a good day in any way. we talked at the end of the night, and i really expressed how important it is to me that we have us time. no just because we're trying to make up after a fight, or because it's a holiday, or because i begged him for it. i told him how i miss us spending time because we actually like each other, not because we Have to. i said i've got no problem saying tuesday is date night, but i need to know that at least every week or so i'm going to be more important than everything else.
wednesday and thursday i just worked non-stop. 10am to 10pm with a little sleep thrown in. thursday night i met up with schmitty in chinatown, and we hung out for a bit, trying to learn to be friends again. we went to a midnight showing of doomsday, which was better than i thought it would be. friday i was supposed to be up and running by 9am like every other day, but instead i slept thru my alarm and didn't wake up till 11. i have no idea how i got to work before 11:30, but it happened. i swear, they're going to fire me. it's just too much work, and every time i tell them i need less i get more instead. i KNOW it's super busy during march, but it's killing me.
meh, we'll see.
after work things got progessively more excellent. i met up with schmitty and echo. i enjoyed the sun a bit. took a shower (for the first time in, like, 2.5 days), shaved, and actually wore a skirt! we found schmitty's friend bp and his girl jen, and went up to dupont for dinner at buca di beppo with liz, nat, bogie and becca. it was AMAING food, 3 courses and wine for $30pp. i couldn't have been happier. we all went over to science club, where it was a little slap dash. we couldn't get a seat becuase the whole damn place was reserved. the music got progressively louder as the night went on, and eventually nat, liz, bogie and becca had to call it quits. we hung out for a bit longer with bp and jen until all of schmitty's friends arrived. today was shamrock fest, so a bunch of the rit kids came in for the festivities. it was danlee and darren in from nc and kidder as their host. i invited my obie, eric, to join us. we all went over to the big hunt, which i like VERY much, and eric actually came out. he's so shy and gentle, and i think he was kind of taken off gaurd by all us not so quite folks. we had a few drinks, then went over to buffalo billiards to meet up with kidder's friends. there were a few rounds of pool, some drinks that none of us actually needed, and suddenly it was 3pm. we took a cab home because the metro was too long and schmitty was looking forward to the holiday (3/14. not just international pi day anymore. ask facebook)
instead of steak i got him a key lime pie, which turned out to be a great homage to both of the holiday's on friday.
we slept till 3pm, which god knows i needed. tonite we're celebrating st. patty's day and my hangover is just ending. schmitty has been working like a madman on his big project for work, and has missed half the concert because he's been coding all morning. we're going to go out, but there isn't really much of a plan at this point. honestly, and maybe i'm a bad irish for this, but i'm not going to be heartbroken if i stay in all night. wow. i hate it when my horoscope is right!
one other piece of news. fiona still hasn't paid me from last summer. she's never had the cash, and i've never needed it enough to demand it. i didn't want money to come between us. this week she sent me an email telling me yet again she doesn't have the money, and is regretting hiring me because it didn't bring in any profit and she doesn't know how she'll pay. i responded with "well, let's do a weekly payment thing, but don't ask me to give it up, because i worked my ass off" i'm only asking her for $800, even tho i'm technically due more than that. there was some confusion over a few details, and i decided to not push the matter. but i'm counting on that $800. that's my ticket to china.
argh. i REALLY don't know what to do in this situation.
