Weekend(s) Update - Part 1
So good god I’ve been entirely too busy. For all that are interested in reading…here’s what’s been going on.
First let me say that the months on May-June are both horrible and wonderful. Because it seems a whole lot of people’s birthdays fall in those months & I just run out of cash entirely too quickly during these months...
Anyway. Last Friday we all go out to Happy Hour at the Whiskey café for both Robin & Steve’s bday. Well, Steve & his other friends were the only ones who got to the Whiskey on time (5pm) the rest of got here about 5:30-5:45. Not normally a big deal. There was a line, but not a large one, we were about 15-20 people back. Score. OR so we thought. We ended up waiting on that god-forsaken line for almost 2 hours. WHY? Because they implemented a new VIP line. Which never existed before. They let at least 100 people from the other line in before they even let 3 people from the regular line in. I am NOT used to waiting in line. I have never in my life waited on a line for such an extended amount of time. I will never do so again. The Whiskey Café has lost my patronage. Probably indefinitely. It ended up being a good time, simply because of the people I was hanging out with. About 10pm, some people wanted to eat, some were going elsewhere and Kim decided she wanted to go to Tequila Joe’s with these two guys she barely knows. (She went on a date with one of them) So, where do I go...I go to keep an eye on Kim of course. Yes, I know she’s a big girl and all...but sometimes she just isn’t the best judge of character...they were shady.
We get to TJ’s a little after 10. Culture shock for me because I never even think about getting there before 11-12. But then again, I really don’t need to get there for drink specials. Anyway, we get drinks, wait for the ShadyBoys and then wait for the upstairs room to open. We go upstairs & ShadyBoy #1 informs me I need to hook him & his friends up with drinks because Kim told him I know everyone there & I’m friends with the owner. Which is true, but can anyone say...tacky and rude? I don’t know you and I think you’re a dick...How about no? I am so very much NOT hooking you up with drinks. Thanks for playing. So after standing there watching Kim & ShadyBoy suck face for what seemed like ages, I decided to go walk around to find people I knew. They say, "No problem, we’ll meet you downstairs in like 10-15 minutes." I wander about looking for other people I know. I went downstairs, and saw one of my new favorite people (for the sake of LJ, and anonymity for him, I’m going to refer to him as...ummmm...Albert) So I am having a great time talking to Albert when I realize that its been way more than 15 minutes, I go to look for Kim. Kim is GONE. I have a minor stroke while texting her to find out where she is. I get messages from ShadyBoy & Kim saying she is home, had too much to drink, etc. etc. I stop having a heart attack, relax & have a good time only to realize I’ve had a little too much to drink to drive all the way home w/nothing else to balance it out. Turns out Albert’s friends left him too, so I drove him to his friend V’s house & we ended up hanging out for night & crashing there. All in all = great night.
Last Saturday I swear I thought I was a zombie. But I promised to go out to eat with Patty & Pete and to Tequila Joe’s for Steve’s b-day bash. Steve told me if I didn’t make it on Saturday because I went Friday he was going to kick my ass! (or something like it LOL) So,I never got to take a nap because we were supposed to eat at like 7:30-8. We didn't get to the restaurant until almost 9. I also found out the rest of the Kim story from the night before. All I could do was shake my head. I dragged Barry out of bed around 10pm (he had a rough party night too) and made him go with me. We get to TJ's. There were a whole bunch if people there I haven’t seen in forever. Most of the old Medivial Times crew was in attendance. Saw Albert’s friend V there as well, who I realized that night is friends with some of my friends. Weird. Anyway, about 12am I got my second wind & didn’t feel so bad anymore. Or maybe I was just so overtired it didn’t matter? Barry & I previously agreed we would only stay until 1:30-2am then leave. Barry disappeared and went to try to pick up girls. I hung out w/Steve crew & bought him some bday drinks because I didn’t get to on Friday. At 1am I start looking for Barry. I found him, he was talking to a girl. She was pretty cute.
Side rant: Women will never cease to amaze me, honestly. I walk up Barry to ask him when he wants to leave & this chic starts staring me down like I just shot her dog. I was being nice to her so maybe Barry could get a number. Apparently me being nice was a cover-up for really being Barry’s girlfriend.
*fishanussayswhat?* She didn’t believe either of us that we were just friends. Whatever. Dumbass. I love Barry dearly - but SOOOOO not my type. At let’s not forget that one of my best friends lived with him for over 2 years. He even told her how we became friends in the first place. Are women just that insecure? Seriously. Or is everyone just plain fucking paranoid & crazy? Or is it just because she was stupid young? I should accept that I may never in my life understand people. I don’t give a shit what she thinks of me really, she can think I’m the Whore of Babylon for all I care. But damn. Barry was just trying to be nice & talk to her. /end side rant that made no sense
So, because the girl thought we were a bunch of big old liars, and didn’t want to talk to Barry anymore - he wandered around looking for some of our other friends. We left about 2am. We got back to Barry’s I took up my usual residence on the couch, we put in Anchorman; Josh came home all fucked up and being funny. Watched him stumble upstairs, I fell asleep at some point during the movie and woke up at about 11. Loaded up some of Cat’s stuff from the basement & went home.
Wow - I am sometimes too descriptive. This weekend’s activities will go in a seperate post :-)
