I’d rather be alone, thanks

So my friend J has decided to get back with her boyfriend who dumped her almost two weeks ago.
Apparently he has had a change of heart.  Apparently he realized he was having a mid-life crisis. I think that’s only because all of his friends and family have told him how stupid he is for breaking up with her. Let’s recount. He’s 35, is a coke addict,  has a dead end job, and is in a dead end band. Not a winner. For the last two weeks, she’s been telling me that she’s ok with this, that she could see he’s not ready for a marriage and family, that his life-style is draining, not to mention illegal, that he’s emotionally unavailable, etc, etc. And now, since he’s decided he made a mistake, she gets back together with him. I just want to yell at her, but I won’t. I may tell her calmly that I feel that she’s acting emotionally rather than rationally. Also, she has decided to cancel all her social plans that she made to fill the void he left because “they want to spend time together.” BS.

Also, I spoke with our mutual friend G and J told her the opposite of what she told me. That they were working through things, but separately. That she wasn’t ready to get back with him. So why is she lying? She is just dumb. And she changed her myspace status back to “in a relationship”, and she lives by myspace, so I’m sure that this is it.

ARGH!

Oh and my stupid little cousin decided to get back with her “ass-wipe, inconsiderate, immature, selfish” (her words, not mine) boyfriend. Why?

I’d rather be alone, thanks.

No, he is not my boyfriend

Last night I went out with my friend from college, S. We were supposed to just be going out for a drink or two, but ended up staying out all night. I rolled into bed at 2 and am still tired (9 hours later). I wore the wrong shos so I have blisters :(  But I didn’t expect that’d we be bar-hopping, so it’s not really my fault.

It was fun to catch up with him. He’s a funny guy and really nice. As I texted to my friend E (also from college and friends with S), why can’t I like him like that? She responded in the same way. See, S is one of the last good guys.  He has a good job, nice car, super nice, has good morals, dresses nice, etc. And he is cute, I guess. But to me he is geeky S from college. I just can’t view him as anything but a fun friend to hang out with. There is no spark there. It was fun to hang out with him in that setting though. I suppose we could force liking each other, but where is the fun in that?

We ended up at this bar where I spotted a cute guy. S’s roommate, B (who was slightly obnoxious but is also 6 years younger than me so I guess that’s to be expected) tried to hook us up, but I said not to. I finally approached the cute guy, after about 45 minutes of watching him, and he wasn’t very nice.  Which was fine, because it’s not like I expected it to go anywhere. And by approaching him, I mean asking him the time. What, I wasn’t drunk and barely buzzed. Later the cute guy’s friend approached me and was visibly intoxicated. But he kept exclaiming that I was too cute not to have a boyfriend and asked me about four times if S was my boyfriend. It’s always nice to be flattered by drunk boys at the bar I guess.

Dilemma

So I want to move to MC, like tomorrow, but I can’t. Why not? Because I don’t have a job. And I can’t get a job without living there. So I don’t know what to do. I’m using my cousin’s address down there on my resume, but that’s still enticing prospective employers to call me and invite me for an interview. I’m just so ready to move and start my “new” life down there. All the apartments I look at want employed residents. Which I understand, but it is still frustrating. And I can’t move without having money. And I don’t have a ton lying around waiting to be used for a move. And the worst part is everyone keeps asking me when I’m moving. I know they’re just interested, but c’mon people, I will tell you when I’m moving!

Anyone have any suggestions?

Not much new…

Not much new is going on here. My nephew spent the night Sunday since yesterday was a holiday. We didn’t do much, but we did see Indiana Jones 4 yesterday. We both really liked it. Harrison Ford has still got it. He looked hot for someone my dad’s age. At the theater, I ran into a law school friend who was visiting our fair city with his family. His wife is from here and went to a rival high school. Pretty random, but nice to see them again. I’ve been trolling the internet looking for jobs in MC. I just hope something works out sooner than later. The temp agency wanted me to go back to the firm I worked at last week and I said no. They were the most miserable, rude, disorganized group of attorneys I’ve ever worked for. The only nice person was the receptionist who is quitting this week. It’s not worth the little amount of money I’d make to get talked down to and treated rudely. I’d rather sleep in and work out.

Weatherwise, it’s still nice but could be a tad warmer.

OH and did I mention I’m going to Vegas! I cannot wait!! It’s for a bachelorette party/law school reunion/celebrating passing the bar exams. Only 3 weeks til a weekend of debauchery is in order…

Social experiment?

Last night I went out with Glasses (the girl Jenner and I worked with) for a couple drinks. It wasn’t actually bad. I was a little worried she’d talk a lot about Jenner, but she didn’t. It was a very, very weird night. Makes my Friday night look completely normal.

We were at the second bar of the night when we met the first odd boy. He kept asking us questions, but when we asked him questions back, he wouldn’t answer, and instead asked more questions. Pretty soon we were fed up and Glasses blurted out that she was done talking to him. So we wandered away where moments later we were approached by another boy. He wanted to know our ages as he was figuring out the demographics of the people who visited the bar. He was very drunk and kept asking us our names and occupations. Pretty soon we just started lying, because after the fourth time, it was really obnoxious. He was pretty odd but soon wandered away in quest of other girls to bug. Then the really weird guys appeared. This guy wearing a pimp hat (no joke) approached us and asked us for our female opinion. He seemed legit if not a bit funny, so we answered his question Then he started assessing our body language. Next his three friends appeared and he introduced as the socially awkward girls. WTF? Who does that? If anyone is socially awkward, it was him. One of his friends started quizzing us on Kierkegaard’s theory that we are all pretending and lying to one another. Again, wtf? He finally left us alone and so did the pimp guy. But the other two friends remained and started criticizing everything about what we were saying to the way we were dressed and what we were drinking. Not to mention criticizing women in general. Apparently, all of the women at the bar were gold-digging tramps. And the majority were cougars who should be at home with their kids and husband. We could not believe it. It was so strange and rude. Then the first two guys that we met (before the pimp hat guy) appeared and they all were friends. Again, so strange. Now, not to sound like I have an ego here, but Glasses and I are far above these guys on the looks meter. Most of the guys were short, with the exception of pimp hat guy who was like 6′4, and one of them was at my eye level. It was like something out of the VH1 show, The Pickup Artist. All of these ugly, short, ass guys trying to hit on women. Anyways, Pimp Hat guy re-appeared and said that he was teaching a class on socializing last night and that they were running a social experiment. So it all made sense. Basically they were trying to insult us thinking that we’d like it and hook up with them. Little did they know that we basically hated them. So we decided to leave because it was such a weird night…

Cut to the next bar. As we walk in, guess who we see? The same weird guys. Who immediately approach us and their other friend starts to ask our “female opinion”, but we ignored them. Which led to us being called idiots and some other rude comments. Finally, they left us alone. A little while later, we were standing around talking when these two guys approached us. They were pretty funny and nice. One was extremely touchy-feely so that was just weird. The other guy was a Seth Rogan lookalike and really funny. They seemed like cool guys and we were having fun. As the night progressed however, they wanted to leave and go dancing. We were both driving and it was getting late so we politely declined. To which they told us that we were a waste of their time and then left. Which was fine because we were a little irritated by that point. They were pretty drunk, kept touching us, and asking us the same questions over and over. And also dropping information that they were “loaded.” I don’t get how guys think sometimes. This is not impressive, does not make me like you, and is actually quite pathetic.

Finally we decided to leave. We hit up one more bar just to end the night on a positive note, but neither of us were drinking and it was small and crowded, so we left. However, it was a nice touch that the bouncer told us he only let certain people in and we made the cut.

It was such an odd night. From being criticized to yelled at to groped. Glasses says she attracts the weirdos, and I think she’s right. That being said, it was really fun hanging out with her. She wasn’t as annoying as Jenner thinks she is and she’s so blunt that it’s funny.

New beer

So last night I went out with my friend J (the one whose bf just broke up with her), and it was a tad crazy. We went to this out of the way fancy bar for our first drink. We met this weird guy who kept telling J how to know if she will die when she flies. Even though she’s scared to death of flying, he insisted on explaining the engineering of airplanes and flying.  Not a good technique if you actually are trying to flirt.  Next on our list was Kell’s, an Irish pub, but on our way there, we stumbled across an English pub. And it was freakin’ awesome. They only sell Samuel Smith beer (3 choices) and red or white wine. Nothing else. It was like being in an English gentleman’s living room or lounge for you Brits. Very cozy, eclectic, and cool. We met some random people from NYC who were super nice.  We stayed there for a beer (amazing by the way, Stella who?) and then headed to Kell’s.  Where we proceeded to be in the minority. There were approximately 90% men and 10% women there. Awesome.  We hung out with a bachelor party group. The groom-to-be was very sweet and really nice. But so young. Only 22! And his best man was cute, but only turned 22 today. They made him dress in leather pants and a ripped, sleeveless jean shirt. Pretty funny.  After they left, we got hit on by these two 20-year old guys. Who thought we were 22. That’s about a decade off for my friend J, and 6 years off for me. So that was awesome. We both look very young, so that’s not totally unusual, but it was nice. Especially after our problems with men this week. They tried to get us to go back to their house, that has a hot tub! (not a selling point in my book), and while J was fully on board, I insisted on us getting a cab back to her apartment. Good choice as we were both a lot more drunk than I realized.

All in all, it was a good night, and most of all, I loved Samuel Smith. Tell me it’s on the approved list Dom/Perpetual

Oh, and p.s., Jenner just called. I didn’t answer.

I’m annoyed…

I am so annoyed right now. With ebay, paypal, friends, my dad, the weather, Jenner… everything pretty much.

I have this temp job tomorrow that I’m not really looking forward to doing but it will be good for the bank account. But that means not working out. And I’m slightly addicted to the gym.

I’m annoyed with my friend J’s boyfriend because he decided to dump her last night after just last week they were discussing getting married and having kids. I don’t know what to say to make it better. It really sucks. He sucks.

I’m annoyed that I’m still living at home. My parents are in my business 24/7 and I just can’t take it for much longer.

I am annoyed with ebay for not being user friendly. I’m trying to sell my bar books and it was quite a process to list them. I’d better not get screwed over by paypal (I have in the past) if someone buys the books.

I’m annoyed with my friend A because he said he wanted to buy the books, but when I quoted him the fair market value of the books, he said he didn’t want to pay that. Well, sorry, but you’re not getting a deal just because you’re my friend. I need that money dude.

I’m annoyed with the weather. What happened to the sun? Is this March again?

And I’m annoyed I can’t find a job in Major City because I don’t speak Spanish. Not all jobs require it, but seriously? I’m not learning Spanish. Learn English. GRRRR

And I’m annoyed with Jenner. He is missing out. I am so awesome and he’s too dumb to realize it.

Sorry. Just needed to vent.

It’s back

The rain is back. Rainy City is living up to it’s name once again.  Boo.  But at least it is humid and somewhat warm.

Time to move to MC!!

Oh and I had the worst Stella last night. It tasted like the bottom of my foot. I think it was something disguised as Stella…

Ouch

Yesterday was another hot day. I decided I would sit outside and try to soak up some sun. I didn’t think I’d get burned, but I did.  My legs and arms are killing me!

So weak

I am so weak. I cannot give up on him. I think I talked to too many people today and now have all sorts of thoughts running through my mind. This sucks. I need distractions!
