What a day

Thursday 9/29, Peggy told me I could come in an hour late to work the next day so I was very excited for my late night out. After work I showered and got ready while Susan took a nap and then headed over to B’s at 7:15 because traffic was so terrible. Got there and we watched some Arrested Development and then just hung out until Sky got home, then we went up to his room and laughed and talked, then it was time for bed, so he turned in and I hung out with S and C until it was time to go. Got stuck in crazy bad traffic on I-5 and took me forever to get there, so then Susan and I are trying to figure out the parking situation and on our way down Susan dented her car a little on a pillar, so that started our evening out with a bang, and set the tone for the rest of the night. We had to walk through the rain and it ruined both of our hair, as we walked past the greeting crew bf wanted Susan to smile but she didn’t want to cause of the incident so she told them and then we went inside and dried off in the bathroom and headed upstairs. It didn’t take long for Bun to come and stand next to Susan but we ignored him, then I spotted Kyle with his dumb bf, but I was getting thirsty so we went down and I got a water and tipped the bartender cause he didn’t charge me for it. Yay! We went to dance by the stairs like last week but Susan went to check her cleavage and left me alone and this goth/raver guy tapped me on the shoulder from behind on the stage and was holding his hands out for me to join him, but I was like “No thanks, I don’t want to dance” and he was like “I don’t want to dance with you, I just wanted to say hi” …um, yeah right. It wasn’t long before we took a break cause the music SUCKED so we went out and harassed bf. I was very jealous because he gave Susan a hug to make her feel better and I wanted to say “I’m pretty traumatized too” and hold my arms out for a hug, but I restrained myself. We all got to talking about bf being both of our “boytoy” if Susan gets dissed by Thomas, but bf is too old for her, but even still he was like, “I can come over and accommodate both of you, you’ll both have your way with me and then you’ll kick me out with the handcuffs still on” so I was like “Oh, you must have been kicked out of Susan’s room then!” HAHAHAAA! She was all, “Hey, what does that mean?” so I said that if either of us had handcuffs it was going to be her. She agreed. There were many other hilarious instances and it was nice to see him smile and laugh, especially since he’s so “intimidating” but then I was running the show and dictating who could come in and out (“Yeah, I can vouch for him. I can vouch for those bad dance moves”). Susan went inside and left me to my devices so I popped the big question to see what I could get out of him. “So is it hard to have a gf when you work a job like this?” He says that it is mostly because of the hours but that he’s fiercely (or extremely or some other adjective) loyal, which you wouldn’t expect from a bouncer working at a nightclub. I told him I believe it and that he seems like a really great guy, and that Susan thinks so too. I go back in and we dance for a bit and my Spandex bf tapped me on the shoulder and told me that he loved my hair and I told him about Kassie’s too and then he introduced himself and his name is Tye, but the songs weren’t getting any better so of course, I go outside again and Susan meets me and we thought bf was going to punch her in the face for not telling which bartender from last week but he was just getting his coffee from behind her head. All of these people were coming out and Tye came so I told him that I hadn’t seen him for a while and I hope to see him next week, then this group of Hispanic guys comes out and one of them is like 6 inches from me and is staring me up and down saying stuff and started to move on but then my bf puffed up his chest and was walking behind them muttering stuff to them and I was like, “You tell them Sweetie!”, it was funny and I got to touch his arm pretending. Susan was cold and went back in to dance but I was boycotting cause the songs were terrible and I asked bf about the bartender upstairs and he said that his name is Dan and I said he’s my new bf, but he was like, “Well what are you talking about? You’ve got a man right?” and I was like …yeaaahhhh… (as I’m not even looking at him, but down at my fidgeting hands) so he’s like, “Oh I’m crushed and here I thought I had a chance”, or something, so I’m like, “Ok, here’s the thing. I said to my bf “I have something to tell you. I have a crush on the bouncer” and he doesn’t mind” (etc etc) and bf’s like “What?! I didn’t know that, how would I know that?” and I’m like, “Oh pleeeaase! It’s so obvious” so we banter back and forth for a while and he’s still checking ids so we get interrupted a little bit but keep coming back to the subject and I told him that even though I have a bf that I’m still allowed to have a crush. THEN, he says something about his girlfriend (I don’t know exactly how this manifests, I’ll have to search deep inside my brain), so I’m like, “Wait, so you do have a girlfriend?” and he’s like yeah, so I’m like, “So then what are you talking about that you’re heartbroken when you’re already taken and have a gf?!” and he’s like, “Well I shacked up cause I knew you were already taken” and I asked him how he knew I had a bf and he said that I’d told him back when I was just beginning to see B, and I was shocked cause I don’t remember that, I was like “Really…? Really? Seriously?” he said maybe he was “trippin” and that I never did tell him. So during this whole time people are coming in and out and he’s checking ids and girls are hugging him and hanging on him, so it didn’t surprise me when this group of girls and guys who looked very wet came and started talking to him, I mean come on, he’s a popular guy. So this one short, heavier looking girl gives him a big hug and starts talking to him (as I’m off to the side) and is holding her hair up and says “See how wet my hair is? That’s how much I’ve been dancing” and he acknowledges it, then she starts like dancing with him with her arms around his waist, and he starts dancing with her back with his face RIGHT in hers, like they’re going to start kissing or something and I don’t know if I did see them kiss or not, cause if they did I probably blocked it already, but I’m like 99.9% sure that that was his gf. As soon as she showed up I didn’t exist anymore and all of her friends had already gone in so it was just me standing there off to the side and them in the pre-stages of making out. So that’s when I ran, literally, back inside to find Susan. It took forever to find her and I didn’t until I went upstairs and looked down and spotted her, I tried to tell her but it was so loud that she couldn’t hear me so we just went and danced instead. We danced by the look out platform and Thomas’ friend was right by us and then Thomas came over too so we danced next to those two hott boys until they left us. We went to the bathroom and I told Susan more about the outside incident and we went back out to dance in our same spot but a little more in the middle, but the floor was starting to thin out and I see a guy coming out of my peripheral and he puts is arm around me and it’s Craig! I just stared at him for a minute cause it didn’t register who he was but then I said hi and he told me he liked my hair so that was nice and Susan was ignoring him but he still gave her a hug and she only gave him a half hug then he told me that he’d see me later but I told him we were going to be leaving soon, but we stayed for Mony Mony and Susan said Craig just watched us dance the whole time and is only interested now that we’re ignoring him. A bad song came on so we decided to leave and waved to Craig, headed out the door but Susan forgot her coat so she went back in and I told bf I was tired and he said he was impressed I stayed so late and that I looked tired, then Susan came out so we left and I waved to him in a half-hearted way. We didn't get tickets or towed. I know I shouldn’t be, but I can’t stop smiling, which I’m guessing stems from the fact that I just stood there by myself while they like humped in the alley. Tender is my heart.
