Thursday 7/13, I showered when I got home from work because I smelled terrible (charming I know) and then started making Rice Krispie Treats and my dinner. I had quite a bit to accomplish before heading into Seattle to see Chrystol about the pictures and then to Kassie’s to discuss said pictures. I got the treats done then got ready for an evening of dancing and flirting with Andy, though I didn’t really know how that would turn out. I finished getting ready, called Chrystol to tell her I was coming over and was out the door by 8:10. I saw Jason when I walked up and he like pointed to me, like giving me props or something, so I think he likes me now and especially after he asked to see the final prints and was like “wow, nice!” hmm. Weird. Chrystol got everything out and tallied what I owed her and we chatted for a little while then talked with Schuyler downstairs. B graced me with an effortless hello and didn’t even look up when saying good bye to me after I said bye to him. I rolled my eyes and C reprimanded him, though she whispered wishes of good luck to me with Andy. I drove over to Kassie’s and we looked at the pictures and laughed and she wanted me to go to Palace Kitchen with her so she could see her crush but I had to be leaving her house in 20 minutes but she didn’t care. Sean had his baby and Kassie and I talked about childbirth, since she’s seen it firsthand, and can I say for the record: YUCK, I’m never having children. I could barely watch as she demonstrated how the head comes out with her hands. We talked until 10:00 then I left and headed down to Pioneer Square. Susan and I parked next to each other and walked up with me greeting the bouncer with a healthy dose of pep. He seemed startled and then Susan told him that they had the same birthday and that freaked him out, it was kind of funny since he’s this huge guy. We do what we can. Then I turn around and Andy’s standing there looking at me with a smile, so I get my stamp from him and he’s like “How are you?” and I’m like “I’m good” and he just kind of goes in for the hug so I’m like duh, oh yeah, I always get a hug from him, so I made sure to push my boobs into his chest. Ha! Then he gave Susan a hug and I asked him how he was doing and he was all “Ug, they’ve got me working the door tonight” and we exchanged a few more words then the bouncer from outside was frontin Andy and wondering why Andy got a hug and not him. Andy rolled his eyes and I told him that I freaked out the other bouncer by being perky. Susan and I then moved along cause there were more people filing in and we were in the way. S and I hit the bathroom then went to watch people dance and fall off the mechanical bull. There was one guy who looked like a chicken scratching at the ground and bobbing his head back and forth, I couldn’t even look at him because every time I did I had to laugh and he was like a foot and a half away, so that would have been mean. We read all of the ridiculous rules for riding the bull and basically just stood around. At one point I was looking at Andy down in the little entrance pit and he looked up at me and I smiled and he smiled back and we just looked at each other like that for a few seconds, it made me giddy. Still does. I was planning our departure because I wanted to make sure that when we were leaving there wasn’t anyone coming in so I could actually get a few words in with him without getting interrupted or him not doing his job and getting in trouble. I was keeping my eye on the door and we decided to make our getaway, you will find the dialogue below:

Andy: (as he leans in and gives me a hug) You guys leaving?
Susan: Yeah, we’re heading up to your old stomping grounds.
Andy: I need to go up there, I haven’t been there forever.
Us: I know!
Susan: Come on, we’re taking you with us!
Andy: I wish I could, sometimes I just want to get out of here. Mickey and so and so are always trying to get me up there and visit.
Me: Um yeah, you haven’t been there forever!
Andy: I can think of a couple of other good reasons to go (smiles mischievously)
Me: Oh yeah?
Andy: Yeah (still smiling)
Me: (smiling coyly)
Andy: (makes big smile and bunches fists)
Me: See you later Andy…(smiling and touching his arm)

As we left, Susan was like “Ok spill!” and I was jumping up and down and clapping my hands because I was so excited. She was all “Stop, he can still see you!” but I didn’t care. So I told her then we got in our cars and headed up to CH and parked in some handicapped spots that were ok after hours. Walked to Neighbours and told Travers that Andy said hi and that he thinks he’s too cool for Neighbours then went in. Not too much happened last night, though there were some really great songs played, especially the Come On Eileen song. Kyle was there and he said he liked my shoes and that we both looked good so that was nice. There was one cute guy with longer blonde hair that I think Susan talked to a few weeks back, then there was a blonde gay boy who was so cute and Susan told him we loved him and I think it freaked him out because he didn’t dance by us again for the rest of the night. The goth guy that tried to dance with me once was there in a polo shirt and like khakis, really weird. Nothing else interesting really happened. Craig showed up about 15 minutes before we left and as we were going I told him he looked good and that he always looks fabulous and he smiled. Walked back to our cars, drove home and went to bed.

Wednesday 7/12, After work Susan and I got ready to go to dinner with Jason and left the house around 6:00. I was feeling a little weird because I had friended Diana on flickr and had instant access to all of her private pictures, which made me feel very insecure because there were a bunch of B and some with them together and my mind began to wander. All of those insecurities were back and seeing the pictures made me sad. I can’t really explain it. Anyway, so we left around 6:00 and went to Rudy’s first so Susan could flirt with her hair guy and I could buy a ticket for the Grant Lee Phillips show in a couple weeks. We hit the mall after that, but were disappointed to find that the Gap is being remodeled and that I wouldn’t be buying a Favorite T for the weekend. We had to wait a little while at PF Changs before getting seated and then Jason showed up so we waited together and started catching up and laughing then our buzzer buzzed so we went in and were seated. I ordered the double fried noodles or something and they were DELICIOUS. I may have a new favorite. We heard in great detail the goings on of his love life but it was fun because I got to live vicariously through someone who has made out with their crush in the last week. I had a lot of fun and Susan got some good pictures that hopefully she’ll be posting on flickr, ok, only like 2 are good, the rest are ridiculously terrible. We left “The Chang” and talked for a while longer up in the garage and we all agreed to go put comments on each other’s pages, and to make them saucy to perhaps make certain people in our lives jealous. That’s assuming that that person even looks at your profile. Susan and I headed home and retired to our rooms and I read and whatnot for the remainder of the evening.
