Sunday 8/27, We got up around 9:00 had some breakfast with Dario and Grandma Marie and hit the road up to Jess’ Mom’s house by 11:00. We got out into the sun right away to work on our tans (for the record I am tanner than her, yes!) then out onto the new jet ski, but Billy caught us right as we were trying to get going so he was like “I’m going to go on mine too!” so we got it started and took off quick, though I couldn’t get a good grip and was sliding all over the seat and kept getting airborne when we’d hit the big waves. I almost fell off like three times, despite even holding onto Jessica’s lifejacket. It felt like I was in high school again, laughing, screeching and getting sprayed in the face by huge waves. We had so much fun. Then we went over by the park so Jess could swim a little, but as she was trying to dismount I didn’t lean the other way and I tipped us and I went ass over teakettle right into the water. So much for not getting my hair wet. We went back and laid out on the dock until lunch was ready. We had spaghetti with breadsticks and it was so good especially because we were all so hungry. I basically left right after lunch because I had to make it to Ernie’s birthday party, so Jess and I made plans and I told Day I would see her soon and took off. I got to Hillary and David’s on time and their house is pretty incredible, but I wouldn’t expect anything less of Hillary. We sat outside taking pictures and nibbling on appetizers while David brainstormed guys to fix me up with, but he wouldn’t listen when I told him that being a millionaire wasn’t a requirement. He wants to fix me up with some rich 36-year old divorcee. He also said he would fix me up with Josh Charles, but I just kind of laughed that one off, cause I think he was interested in Kassie, not me. Dad dissed Brandon in front of everyone, which I think is very sweet, because he clearly thinks Brandon is a jerk and that I deserve better. We ate dinner and sat around then had desert and more talking until about 7:30 when I rolled out because I’d been there since 4:00. I called Dad on the way home then relaxed and showered. At 9:00 Eric called me and I was really glad because I didn’t want to stay up until 10:00 to call him so we made plans to hang out Wednesday and cook or go see a movie or something. I told him I didn’t expect to be hearing from him and he said he wanted to stay fresh in my mind. I read a little bit of my book and crashed out at 10:00.
Saturday 8/26, I got up around 8:45, took my time getting up and then hit the road to run some errands. First up was Costco gas, then to Fred Meyer to refill a much needed prescription. On the way to do my errands Eric called me and we made plans for me to come to Seattle and to hang out until he had to go to work. When I got home I showered and hit the road to Ballard, where he was skateboarding. I found it easily (the skate park, not Ballard) and walked up while he was doing some tricks and stuff and was pretty impressed. It was a beautiful sunny day so we decided we would go to a park or something, which ended up being the Ballard Locks. I told him about the lesbian from the night before and how she wanted to go home with Susan and I, but that if she were looking for the kinkier one that would have to be Susan, you know, with the handcuffs and all. And he’s like “Why does everyone always say that? “Handcuffs are kinky” They’re really not” so I was like, ok, that says something doesn’t it? We talked about the old people in front of us and how they know what’s up and that everyone should know a little something by that age. He did clarify that he’s not into whips and auto-erotic asphyxiation though. Phew! We just walked and talked and ended up in the viewing area of the fish ladder and just watched the fish for awhile and he gave me some fish facts and said he was trying to learn as much as he can about fish, so I invited him over to study sometime. We decided to walk back toward the car and talked about food, Bun and my blog and how I write about “EVERYTHING” and he kind of laughed nervously. I told him, ok, not everything, but pretty close. We headed off to get some lunch in Ballard and went to this little sandwich place that’s a café and I got a half “No Meat Please” sandwich and it was HUGE. We walked until we found a bench to sit on and ate our messy sandwiches. We talked about sex and past relationships and he wiped my mouth with his napkin at one point because I probably had mustard all over it or something and it was just a really pleasant setting. I told him I was sleeping at Jess’ that night and he asked if it was a slumber party so I said “Yeah, and we’re going to watch scary movies and make prank phone calls to boys we like” and he said he’d better be getting a call then. It was very cute. He wanted to show me this little gallery so we walked over and talked about the pieces we each liked then went to this furniture store that Kassie and I hit back in January and I showed him the chairs I like. We started walking back to the car and talked about how we’d pretty much seen each other naked, well “nakedish” as Eric put it, since we both had one item of clothing on at the time. He drove me back to my car and we kissed a little bit then I took off for home. Chrystol called me right when I walked in the door and said her and Schuyler were in Redmond and were going to stop by, so I was totally stoked about that and couldn’t wait for them to get there. Chrystol brought me an apron from Spain that looks like a Flamenco dress that I LOVE because it’s pink, teal, has polka dots and looks like a dress. I told them all about Eric and probably gave a little too much detail but they seemed to be eating it up so I kept going. Chrystol told me all about her trip before they decided to leave around 4:30. I relaxed in my room after that then packed up and got ready to leave for Snohomish to meet up with Jess, Jasmine and all of the other cousins. I got there first, then Jasmine and the guy she’s been seeing arrived and we hung out in the Oxford until they started charging a cover so we moved down to Mardini’s where they had a cover band playing and lots of gross guys. I had one guy stop at our table and just stare at me and Luke said I went from having a huge smile on my face to having it melt away into a confused scowl. He laughed so hard, but I told him I didn’t mean to make a face it was just a genuine look of confusion. Then some other 40 year old guy approached me and asked me to dance to the next song right after Megan left, but I told him I wasn’t into dancing that night. I think it’s the hair, it’s getting me all kinds of attention, granted most of it has been undesired. Finally around 10:30 Jessica showed up so we sat and talked and joked and watched the old people dance. A bunch of the group went to another bar to snag a pool table while we finished our drinks and of course this really cool guy named Neil approached us and you could just tell this guy thought he was the hippest guy in Snohomish with his John Travolta from Grease hair, wife beater and cowboy boots and starts talking to Jessica. I instantly get pissed off and start formulating what I would say to him if he asked me why I was being such a bitch, which was basically that I haven’t seen her in 4 months and was trying to have a conversation with her and didn’t appreciate him trying to pick her up when he was like 45 and clearly out of his league. Finally he took the hint along with all the other guys opening doors and pulling out chairs for us, and we picked up and left for the Speakeasy where there was like a rockabilly band playing. More dipshits showed up and were trying to get fresh, let me tell you, it’s quite a meat market in Snohomish, I’ve never seen anything like it, but I dissed them and they moved onto some of the other girls. Finally around 1:00 Jess and I were beyond ready to go so we drove back to her Grandma’s house and got ready for bed. We talked in bed for a long time about Eric “Oh he’s ginger. Well you can’t have kids with him!” and told some hippie jokes then went to bed.
Friday 8/25, I got home around 7:00, made some dinner, showered and snuggled into bed for a light nap before Comeback. I was so exhausted and I really didn’t want to go at all but I knew Susan wanted to and that it was probably good for me to get out so I was determined to go, though I knew right away I wouldn’t be staying late. We left around 11:00 and parked in our usual place, walked up and saw Ely and Brett. We talked with them for a little while about high school and such and headed in. Susan started dancing right away and I stood on the side and watched the crowd, but before too long I had a lesbian approach me and say “You’re fucking hot and I wanted to come over and say hi” and all this other nonsense but I was nice and we talked a little, then she left and Susan came over, then the lesbian comes back over and is like “You’re hot too, I want to give you my number, both of you. Don’t tell me you’re bi or have boyfriends, I don’t want to hear it. I’m sick of hearing it. I just need hot friends, so you guys should call me” she kept saying she wanted hot friends, hot friends, hot friends, then she gave us each a kiss on the cheek. We finally both went out and danced, some with the boys, some without, then that scary trannie got on stage and was singing “Celebrate” and Brett and I were joking about her makeup and how it looked very precise and like a real professional job. He’s so hot. We kept dancing but I was easily irritated because I was tired and people were bumping into me and stepping on my shoes and spilling shit on me, so around 12:45 I took off, but not before the trannie did that one NIN song. When I got in the car I had a missed call and it was Eric saying he had a good time the night before and wanted to see what my plans were for the weekend and to call him, and since it was only about 35 minutes since he’d called, I decided to call him back. We chatted for a little bit and decided we should hang out the next day and that one of us would call the other in the morning. I’m so all about getting up early and hanging out, I can’t even express it. Yay!
Thursday 8/24, After work I did my walk and made pretty good time, but def not my best. Jake had called me earlier in the day to tell me Jasmine was trying to get a hold of me so I figured that must mean Jessica is in town, and sure enough Jess called me right before I left for my walk. If we end up not going to Leavenworth this weekend I’m going to head up north to hang out, either way I know I’ll have fun this weekend. I made dinner and it was really good and I didn’t even get bloated from the salt which was good because I had plans to go dancing. I got ready and called Eric to see if he still wanted to hang out before I went to Neighbours, but he didn’t call me back until about 9:00 as I was falling asleep listening to the Decemberists. He told me to head up to the Hill and call him when I got there so I parked and called him and he said to stay put and he would come pick me up. We decided to go to Michael’s apartment but it took forever to find a parking spot and we had to walk for awhile but that’s ok because we just talked about Louisville and the pronunciation, it was cute. We got there and Michael was playing his guitar so the three of us hung out, watching Shaun of the Dead, listening to Michael play his guitar, listening to music on his cd player all at the same time. Eric took the initiative to get me a glass of water even though I told him I was ok, and he even put it in a brown paper bag to give me some street cred. We finally left around 11:00 after the boys lifted some weights to get pumped up, and walked up to my car which was parked on Broadway. As I was putting my purse in my trunk my phone rang and it was Kyle who exclaims “Where are you?!” so I enthusiastically asked if he was at Neighbours and he said yes, along with Richie and Neil. I was like, I’ll be right there! So we walked over, said hi to the bouncer, hi to Travers and I went in and spotted Kyle right away. He ran over and picked me up and carried me over to where Richie was ordering a drink and Cory was there too. Eric took off for the main bar so I couldn’t do introductions but we all talked for a little bit then Michael came over and I did introductions and eventually Eric came over and I introduced him too so that was fun then they all wanted to go dance so I said I needed to find Susan so I took off to do a lap but came up empty until I looked upstairs and there she was hanging out with Damon so I went up and chatted with them then Eric came up and we danced and kissed while Michael was socializing close by. Finally a good song came on and I said I wanted to dance so Susan and I went down and when I turned to look back at Eric he was “sharking” me which made me smile. Before we could hit the dance floor I spotted Neil at the bar and went over and said hi and got a nice hug. We chatted for a little bit then he took some pictures of the three of us. He dragged us out to the dance floor and we danced for a bit then Michael came over and we danced together, he’s so fun I just love him! Eric was upstairs watching but eventually came down and was watching from the side lines and there was definitely smoldering eye contact going on. At one point Susan asked me what he was doing and I said just looking at me, we like to tease each other from across the floor. Finally Eric came out and the four of us danced off and on with a couple of three-ways going on, but mostly just Eric and I would dance and make out. Apparently at some point Craig showed up and Susan went up and said hi and told him he should go say hi to me, knowing that Eric and I were probably making out against one of the pillars, and he says “Uh, she looks a little busy” which I think is so funny. There were so many people I knew there last night I feel like I should list them off: Susan, Eric, Michael, Damon, Kyle, Richie, Neil, Cory, Derek and Craig. That doesn’t include the general acquaintances either, crazy! Anyway, I finally told Eric I had to leave around 1:30 and asked him if he was going to walk me to my car, he said no he was going to go home with Susan. So I dragged him out despite him trying to distract me into dancing again, and Travers was all “Oh really…” as we walked out, then I waved to the bouncer and we didn’t get very far before Eric pushed me up against the brick wall and told me he couldn’t wait to get to my car to make out, I told him yes he could and kept dragging him. Oh get this, he knows Bun! So we see Bun out there and talk with him for a minute then he offers us pot and we decline and keep on our way. He told Bun he would be back and Bun says to him, “Take your time” and Eric looks right at me and says, “Oh I will”. It was very hard to make it to the car because he kept stopping and kissing me and he’d say “We’ve gone 200 feet, I can’t not kiss you” so I’d relent then get him going again. Finally we made it to the car but again made out for about 15 minutes and told each other what we liked about one another, then he said he wants to make me breakfast and was naming off all this stuff like biscuits made from scratch and a lot of other shit which made me hungry, and hot because a man that cooks, I’m sorry but that seals the deal. Finally we got into the car and he kept biting me, but I dropped him off and said I would call him when I knew what I was doing this weekend and waved bye. Got home and went to bed just as Susan was getting home.
Saturday 8/26, I got up around 8:45, took my time getting up and then hit the road to run some errands. First up was Costco gas, then to Fred Meyer to refill a much needed prescription.
