(no subject)
I've been a little lax about updating, but only because of the extreme headache which Wednesday night created.
WEDNESDAY: Ok so I met up with Samantha at the Tottenham Court Road station around 9 and we started walking. She's a spindly girl... kind of greasy hair like she had over straightened it and then kept playing with it all day. Tall black boots and sequined pink tank top. I felt pretty bohemian compaired to her. I had no idea where we were and she had been in NYC for the past 8 years so her directions were a bit shotty. We finally ended up finding a bar. We were there for enough time to order a drink, check out the guys and decide that it was too crowded and there was no one to talk to. We left and went to Mezzo Bar which was only a few blocks down (we were in Soho by now). It was more low key and we didn't really see any prospects here either but we ordered drinks and hung out by the bar waiting for a bite. There were about 8-10 black men standing near us and they started approaching us. They started with one and then two and within 20 minutes or so I had met them all. They were pretty sketchy and a lot older than me... not older than Samantha but she was being really rude to them anyway. Granted I probably shouldn't have talked to them either but they were buying me drinks so I didn't care. And at least one of them was carrying on a decent conversation. They left after a few hours and I sat down at the bar with Samantha. The bartenders started talking to us and were giving us free drinks. It was rather nice. Two of them were hitting on me... asking me "So have you ever been with a bar tender?" "are you single?" "would you like to go out after my shift and grab a drink?" "how about coffee tomorrow?" It was rather amusing. And the drinks were good. Samantha wanted to leave so Nick the bartender gave me his number, but i havent called him yet. Samantha's friend picked us up and we went to this guys apartement where we drank some more and just sat around which was fine by me since I was thoroughly trashed at this point. Then they decided they wanted to go to another bar. It was very fancy and the guy we were with ordered us both drinks. I was getting to feel kind of sick and very tired by this point so I told them I wanted to go home which is not what they wanted to do since they were planning to fuck that night so they called me a cab and I went home.
THURSDAY: Woke up to drilling in the hallway at 8am... NOT HAPPY! Extreme headache and still fairly drunk. Couldn't really sleep but managed to drag myself out of bed by noon to meet Ariel at 1230. Wandered around Notting Hill with him all day just chatting. Went home to watch the simpsons and moan about my head and stomach. Went to bed early and slept in late. What a waste of a day.
OPINONS ON NEW "FRIENDS":
Samantha - She's pretty odd. She told me she's 23, but she's also been living in NYC for the past 8 years and her parents live here... kind of strange. She's been married but is now separated. She's very rude to guys she doesn't know and is quick to judge. She lies. She told all her friends (who were pretty strange on their own) that we had known eachother for six months and had met in NYC. hmmm... right. She hit on me all night which I didn't reciprocate and she didn't get the hint.
Ariel - WOW... he's an interesting character. Didn't mind him to begin with. He seemed interesting and like a nice guy. Later he starts telling me about all these drugs and experiences and it just hit me as wrong. Don't think I'll be calling him again. He freaked me out too many times for it to work.
OVERALL ASSESSMENT: NEVER use craigslist again!
