It started more as a spur of the moment moreso anything really set in stone.
I guess technically my birthday began at the Red C with Adam. I don't know why that's the first place I went, and I don't know why they're the first people I saw, it just sort of ended up that way.
At any rate, nothing too worthwhile happened at the Red C or the Martini Ranch, just danced for a bit, got some home-grown weed and met some kids from Portland.
I fell asleep, woke up, ran some errands and finished them up at Jeff's house where we decided going to Bourbon Street was a good idea.
Bourbon Street is a gay bar in University Heights. It has a Cheer's atmosphere to it and it's very laid back. Jeff and I hung out, I had my first Amaretto Sour, We all had a bunch of beer, thing were going well.
Carissa and Deidre came, it was funny becasue they all took some somas, I knew if I had taken one it would have been the end of me for the night, so that was out of the question. I continued to drink.
Jeff called his friend Matt over to hang out.
Enter Matt and David, standing at the bar together ordering a beer. I notice them before anyone and demand their attention by running over there and ordering deidre a beer. Alas to no avail.
No big deal, I sit down and give Deidre her beer. They walk our way and sit down at our table and introduce themselves to everyone except Jeff.
Oh.
Good.
So Jeff and Matt leave together because they both have some sort of infatuation for each other, leaving Deidre, Carissa, David and Me.
We go to El Zarape where we get to talking a little more.
I completely fall in love with David
David continues to hit on me
things are great.
Enter Matt#2
Matt 2 - the first guy I've ever had any sexual experience with whatsoever, which...after which I recieved kicked him to the street...by far the most evil thing I've ever done. I still feel terrible.
Matt2 walks into el zarape to throw something away, we both make eye contact and look away extremely quickly, creating an aura of awkwardness. He's sitting outside, We're sitting inside, he's eating with his friend, I'm eating with my friends.
I'm still kinda weird about it after I tell my friends all the stories.
David just talks up, he says "just go talk to him, act like nothing happened".
I did, it was great, I'm glad I did that....things are fantastic.
So I go and make a bunch of smalltalk with he and his friend, nothing too amazing but it was nice to break the ice with him. I go back inside to my table and say things went well....he comes inside after he's finished and says "I'll give you a call".
To which I replied "Hey1 I'll answer this time!!!"
Dumbass.
I've never been made fun of more, I guess that wasn't the right answer. I've no tact and everyone was laughing at me.
For some odd reason scored me more points with David.
We left El Zarape and are standing around outside. David insists on celebrating my birthday by taking us to his car and smoking Spanish Hash.
We're walking to his car, and he comments on my shirt "I really like Boards of Canada, they're a fantastic band"
My jaw drops at how this guy is just getting more and more amazing, hash, boards of canada, articulate, clever, good looking.
We smoke hash, things are great and lovely, we're all pretty damned stoned and things couldn't be better.
I got his number, he insisted I take it, and we part ways, us back to the car and he back to the bar. I walk in El Zarape again to pee only to run into my friend Keryna who was the light of my life in the rave scene when I first moved to San Diego, the most wonderful dancer in the world, she was with some family and I was kinda stoned so I regret saying anything too bad, but she was happy to see me and we caught up a bit before I really had to pee.
This is where we go to Pd Hays, where Adam and Co. are spinning.
I drink a lot, drunk out of my mind, stoned out of my mind, and demand a cigarette on the beach.
It's about midnight when I decide I'd take a walk to the beach from Pd Hays (which is on the beach) and have a cigarette.
I'm smoking and a girl comes up in shambles asking me if I have an extra cigarette. I tell her I didn't and that I had just bummed this one.
She begins to cry.
Turns out her husband of 5 years was cheating on her with one of her friends, he has her cat, he has her friend, she has noone.
I offer to buy her a glass of wine and dispense as much cut&paste wisdom as I possibly can.
The girl is amazing.
We dance for a bit, drink more, everything ends up being great, adam and melissa give me a ride to my car, I go home and crash.
What a great birthday.
