Third Wheel
A friend from ship, Ian, invited me to head downtown with his g/f, Korrine. This guy is dead set on hooking me up with someone, one of those "Everyone should be paired" sort that believes that people aren't happy unless they attach themselves to someone. He's a good guy so I go along with it. Apparently we were supposed to meet up with one of Korrine's friends down there.
He had some sort of ADD goin' 'cause he couldn't stick with a movie. He jumped from Team America to American Pie to Tristan & Isolde to A Knight's Tale (complete with racks and Heath) never staying on one for longer than half an hour. I did get a chance to bug him when his g/f asked my opinion on what top to wear. To purely bug Ian, I gave'er a good once over and suggest the smallest of the two.
We headed out and hit the Pogue which was meh. A lil too crowded I 'spose to do much of anything. We hit a booth and talked and drank. Korrine thought she saw an old friend of hers. At this point she started realizing I'm a bit of a dick but it did result in some hilarity.
"What's his name?"
"Danno."
*I turn my head* "Hey Danno!"
*some random guy comes over* "Did you say Dale?"
"Eh? No, no, I shouted for Danno."
Turns out it was her old friend, he must not've heard me despite this Dale fellow was farther away from us. Anyways, the Dale fellow popped over again as I was mentioning it later for a laugh. He turns to say something to us, drops a drink, laughs and leaves. I thought it was pretty funny but that's just me.
Korrine wanted to hit the Dome, despite my many protests. Once we decided to elave I popped my glvoes on quickly I suppose because Korrine turned to look at me and wondered where the hell they came from. I told her I was one of those wierd people who prepare for things.
Anyways, at the lineup for the Dom I was talkin to Ian when this blonde in front of me looks at me.
"Did you go to SHS?"
"Yeah, you know me?"
"They called you Philly Blunt right?"
"Yeah. What's your name sorry?"
"Don't worry about it."
"Wait, what? Did I slight you or something?"
*ignored*
That bugged me because A) She was bein' just a lot rude and B) I didn't really piss anyone off in SHS. Ah well.
Dome was the Dome. I looked around, didn't see anything I liked, I also wasn't really in the mood or mindset for that. I just wanted to have a few drinks and relax. Korrine's friend somehow wound up at the Palace and seemed like she was staying. I headed off to Cheers where Ten Mile House was playing. I heard they were good and they were. My only problem was that where I was standing had a speaker a foot over my head and it wasn't great on the ears.
I watched them, they took a break, I went to the Dome and talked to Ian & Corrine. I wound up talkin' to an engaged gal out with her female friend while trying to find Ian. She was pretty funny. Anyways, after I was done talkin' to Ian, TMH still wasn't playin yet so I sat in a booth to finish off my drink and get off my feet. Yes, I was that guy. Anyways, a couple sat in the booth with me. I made some small talk and when they left TMH started playin again. Shortly after that Ian texted me that we're leaving, I of course just bought a double so I slammed that back and it goes without saying the cab ride back was a lil hazy.
Overall a good, nice night out. I needed to get a few drinks in me, especially after a blah week like last. Now I've refueled on alcohol and ready to work all fucking day tomorrow workin on my MCR package.
