Not the update I was considering, but an update nonetheless. ;)
Yeah, glad this one is over, though it didn't end as badly as it began, so that's a good thing.
The nonsense at work has finally gone away. Needless to say, it was ugly. However, it wasn't as bad as it could have been, and it's all pretty much blown over now. I'll go into more detali in a f-locked post.
A bunch of co-worker friends took me out for my birthday and, yeah, I was feeling no pain by the time we closed the bar down. ;) It was a pretty goofy night, all in all, and thankfully free of the usual drama that occurs when a group of people from work goes out. And I only got hit on by some creepy guy once (probably because the guys there were basically acting like my honor guard or something...'twas amusing)! And I got hit on by two cute guys all night long, so it was all good. XD
I'm seriously my own worst enemy when I'm drinking, as K found out (he'd never drank with me before, so he didn't know firsthand what I meant when I told him that very thing a few days ago). See, I'm a pretty goofy, happy person sober, and that's magnified a billion times once I've gotten a few drinks in me. I love everyone when I'm drunk, even against my own better judgement sometimes. ;) I'm all cuddly and such, and very tactile, and my mouth tends to engage without my brain's input, which leads to some pretty memorable comments (actually, I'm pretty sure one of those comments led me to getting one of said cute guys' numbers...). I draw the line at slutty-ness (made up words ftw!), but I really do get myself into trouble if I'm not careful--hence the need for the honor guard... I was trying to explain all that to K when he was asking why I don't go out so much anymore, and I could only say that he'd have to experience me drunk to understand. Now he does, beyond the shadow of a doubt! And he knows why I don't often go out--I know what I'm like.
This is one of the few disadvantages I know of to being single. When I'm with a guy, I'm all about him when we're out, so I'm less likely to put my foot into it with some random person. And even if I am having one of those nights (which, lets be honest here, I always have when I'm drinking), they fend other men off, make sure I don't fall in my heels, make sure I remember my purse, pull my friends and I apart when we're in the middle of one of our "You're the best, I love you so much!" fests, etc... It's kind of embarassing to admit that I need guarding when I'm drinking, but it's true. lol Thank god for my guys--and girls. You need to have people you trust around you, you know?
As for today... I've converted another unsuspecting friend to the cult of Hairspray. Muhahaha! H and I finally managed to arrange to get together for lunch and movie and I talked her into seeing Hairspray--and she loved it. Her exact words, "Holy shit, I've got to buy that movie!" followed by, "And I'm buying the soundtrack the next time I work. God, that kid was hot. What'd you say his name was?" (speaking of the guy who plays Link Larkin) Heh. We had much fun sharing in the James Marsden love, too. And leaving the theater, she told me that she now understood just why I couldn't talk about anything but Hairspray that first week it was out, and why I was urging/bribing/threatening people into seeing it, as she now wants to do the same thing! Heh. I knew she'd love the movie. I'm just made of awesome sometimes. XD
Lets see, with today, that puts the count at 8 viewings of Hairspray. I'll be into double digits before the end of the week, I don't doubt (given I'm taking my mother and grandmother to see it tomorrow--er, today). And hey, the movies are a bit cheaper now, as they qualify for the theater's $5-movie loyalty program starting this week, so I'm not spending quite as much as I was before. I still need to get my hands on a bootleg, though. I'm on the list for one from a guy who dubs screener copies, so it shouldn't be long.
