Saturday 1/20, I woke up earlyish, around 9:00, and got ready to go on a walk. I did my short one, and though it was a bit chilly, it felt so good. The sun was out and there were other walkers and joggers out so it was very motivating and really made me excited for spring to come. I got home and showered quickly because the delivery guys were supposed be there to drop off the ottoman between 11 and 2, so I’m sitting around, working on my collage while watching tv when I get a phone call from them saying that the new one has a crack in it so they can’t deliver it. I just about lost it, but it’s not their fault…I don’t think. So there was no reason to sit around there anymore so I decided to head up to Monique’s open house on the Plateau. It’s right by where Kay-See and I had looked at those apartments like a million years ago. It’s a Street of Dreams home, $3.5 million and three houses down from some Sonic’s player’s house, Wilcox or something (apparently he's 22, just what I like), and 7,000 square feet. So I talked with Chip and Monique forever and wandered around for a long time by myself, and it was really amazing, though I never went out and to check the exercise room. We started talking about the other houses and Chip wanted me to see the one next door so we took the key code thing and went over. This one was amazing as well and I especially liked the master with the cave for a shower and a closet so tall it had one of those library-style ladders that slid around on a track. We went back down to the other house and I hung out for a while longer and finally took off, and when I was leaving saw this BMW rolling in and sure as shit it's the basketball player so I drove by real slow and gave him a sassy look then continued on. I hit the store and got some beer for Jason for his birthday, talked to Dustin quite a bit then headed home. I talked to Susan and made plans to stop by her house to say hi before going over to Chrystol and Schuyler’s and was soon on my way over there. I met R and he said I have nice hair, yay, and I picked up some magazine’s she was finished with then took off for Wallingford. Jason, Chrystol, Schuyler and I took off for Fremont to have dinner at Jai Thai and since they double charged Jason the last time he was there they gave him a credit for four times the amount of his original charge so he bought us all dinner, nice! We had fun talking and laughing about Mikezilla and discussing the dilemma of spyspace and eventually headed back to the house which was empty since B was gone. Chrystol told me that she took a dig at him which made me laugh really hard, but also makes me feel a tiny bit sad for his current gf. Anyway, moving on, so we sat around for a long time while Jason transferred Chrystol’s pictures onto cds and dvds then C made a joke about me not being intellectual and soon we were off. We hit Starbucks first for a little caffeine kick then picked Tong up at the house with the ramp and sketchy guy hanging out on the front porch. Next we headed over to pick up Jason’s brother and it was really funny to have the three boys in the back and us girls in the front singing to Cyndi Lauper. We got to Jimmy Jack’s really quickly and made our way in. It was pretty empty but we made ourselves comfortable, though I completely ignored B’s presence, and started chatting away until the show started. The Hammers played a long three sets (from 9:30 to 1:30) with a few breaks and even got us to dance to one of the songs. One lady there was totally trash talking me though and really started freaking me out. First, at our table when the band asked people to get up and dance, I was kind of shaking my head like “No way am I getting up and dancing to this” and she hits my arm and says “Let’s see what you got! Let’s see what you got!” and I was like, whoa, back out bitch, I’m not trying to show anyone what I got. Then she gets up and grab my other arm to have me get up on the floor and at first I protested, but they C suggested dancing and grabbed Jason and Kyle as well so I got up and worked it. This woman didn’t have any shoes on and was soon yelling at me again, this time pointing at her feet and shouting “You ain’t got shit!” over and over. I was like, ok, I ain’t got shit, now leave me the fuck alone. Overall it was fun but we were all really tired by the time it was over and headed back to Seattle. We dropped the boys off and getting into my cold car almost killed me, but soon I was home and went to sleep. I had the most vivid dreams about Harper, Beth and Jason and also some guy slashing my Mom’s tires at the grocery store. I’ve also had insanely vivid dreams about Eric lately…a little unsettling.
Friday 1/19, At the post office a possibly homeless man yelled at me when I walked by “Whew! Damn!” which probably should have made me roll my eyes, but instead made me walk with a little pep in my step. Thanks boorish man! After work I laid on the couch and fell asleep for about 25 minutes then read a Susan hand me down magazine and watched Surreal Life. Made plans for Saturday night with Chrystol to go see Schuyler play, even though B will be there, and talked to Rose for a few minutes. Kassie called and I talked to her for a long time and told her the story about Er-Rat (Susan and my new name for him) and she told me about her and Skylar. After talking to her I talked to Susan who invited me to go to Hot Mess, but I was a bit tired. Eventually moved upstairs where I watched more tv (fascinating!) and got ready for bed.
Thursday 1/18, I ate some dinner and cleaned up the kitchen, watched some shows, took a shower, talked to Susan then watched OC. We decided to meet up around 11:30 so I took off a little after 11 and almost hit an owl or something on the way in. I parked in a questionable spot and headed in where the bouncer told me that we could pretend that I’m his wife when guys hit on him. Hmm. Said hi to Travers and headed upstairs to see who was there. A snappy dressing grandpa was on the floor tearing it up, Tye was wearing gold stretch pants and a lamé shirt, “Dick” was back cruising for make out partners, and Bun was making up for all those Thursdays he’s missed. Susan showed up and we talked for a minute then went and checked our coats. A good song was on so I ran out to dance and said hi to Tye, but the next song was not so good so I left and Susan chased me down. We eventually made our way back out and as we’re dancing and avoiding a gross guy lurking about Andrew pops up and I totally screamed and quickly looked at Susan, who hadn’t yet noticed that he was standing right there going in for a double hot girl hug. He took off a minute later and then we quickly saw Teal and Tyler who came over to dance with us. Susan left the floor and I danced with the two boys but Von Trapp’s sidekick put on some terrible rap or hip hop song that made almost everyone on the dance floor leave, but do you think he noticed? No, he didn’t, instead he kept breaking it down with his really cool dj skills. Teal, Tyler and I stood there with our arms crossed just looking up at the dj box. Tyler asked for something to throw at him. Susan came back and described her run-in with Andrew and lack of obtaining her Dig DVD. Soon the boys left and all of a sudden a bubbly figure was standing right next to me and it was MICHAEL! Yay, I was so excited and he looked so sexy with his beard, plus no hat for the first time in maybe forever while dancing, so I got a big hug, then he went in for a Susan hug but she wasn’t having any of it, which I thought was a little strange then Michael moved over a little to say hi to someone else and Susan goes “Who is that?” and I laughed and told her then she gave him a proper hug. We got down to dancing and he was breaking it down just like the last time and was really getting frisky with us girls. Dick kept looking over and I accidentally made eye contact with him a few times while scanning the crowd and I’d tell Susan “Oh no, I just made eye contact with Dick! Ug!” Somehow we ended up dancing RIGHT next to him and literally hitting each other’s elbows but I kept scooting over and hoping the girl he was making out with would hurry up and show up to distract him. Finally Michael came over and started getting all freaky and I thought it was perfect for Dick to see, heh heh! A little after 1:00 I decided I’d better go home so I said bye to Susan, tracked Michael down, who gave me a hug and told me to call him next week, got my coat and ran to my car. Drove home and went to bed.
Wednesday 1/17, I hit the store and Pharmacy after work then headed home to prep for Kay-See to come over for dinner. I started tidying and was just lighting some candles when I heard a knock on the front door, and not expecting Kay-See until later, I was very curious / scared to find out who it was. Lo and behold it was Kay-See a bit early. I told her to get her ass inside and upstairs so we could start gabbing. We sat down in the living room trying to figure out how I can move into Seattle and the pros and cons of it all. Sometime during our conversation she noticed Layer Cake sitting on top of one of the speakers and asked me if I’d left it there on purpose, and I confirmed her suspicions. We decided to put it on to watch how hot Daniel Craig can make drug dealing and getting his ass kicked. I started the pizza part way through and Kay-See had conveniently brought a ready made salad and some deliciously healthy cookies. We paused the movie to dish up our dinner then settled back in to finish watching the movie. After it was over we watched some American Idol and almost died from laughter. We were also totally mortified at the contestants representing Seattle…especially the guy from Bothell who we vowed to ask Neil about. At 10 Kay-See decided to head home so I walked her downstairs and said bye. I made my way back up and started cleaning a little then went into the living room and saw her cell phone. SHIT! I grabbed it, slid into a pair of Vans and raced down the stairs and up the hill toward her car. She was pulling out right as I was running up and she couldn’t hear me yelling her name so I yelled it louder as I kept running after her (sorry neighbors!). She finally heard me, slammed on her brakes and looked at me with a horrified expression…apparently she thought I was yelling because she hit something. She thanked me (not for scaring the shit out of her, but for her phone) and took off. I walked back down, tidied up, called Michael and left a message seeing if he wanted to go to Neighbours and eventually went to bed.
