Friday 4/13, Peggy let me leave early after Jim told her I had a “hot date” later that night ie dinner plans with JP. So I got home and went to bed because I was exhausted and tried not to think about how I was going to make it through the night. I slept a little, then fed J, showered and left Josh a message, which he returned and we firmed up our plans for the evening. I got ready and set out, calling him when I arrived, picked him up then we set off to Ballard to go to Hi-Life. There was no wait and we got an appetizer and Laura, one of Eric’s friends, was our server, but I don’t think she recognized me. We joked that she was like “Slut!” because I was there with some guy. We had a really fun dinner and talked the whole time, which was made even better because it didn’t get awkward at all. We decided to head over to the Baking Dog because Zeph works there and they supposedly have a great selection of beer, draft and imported. We found it very easily despite no one at Hi-Life knowing how to get there, and thought it felt like we were back in college walking up to the bar. We each got a drink and had the fastest service ever. Zeph wasn’t working that night but the guy (surprisingly his roommate) told us he was working some wine bar back on Ballard Ave. So Kay-See called and wanted to take me up on my offer to meet up and hang with JP. So we headed back over toward Ballard Ave and saw Kay-See just as we were parking so the three of us all walked over to the bar and saw Zeph as soon as we walked in. He came out from behind the bar and gave me a nice big hug that made Kay-See jealous. Heh. We initially sat down at a table but when some seats at the bar opened up we snagged those and ordered some drinks. We had so much fun, I can’t even put into words all of the hilarious things that happened but one of the funniest was that Josh kept saying “Hey Asshole!" then "I’m going to fucking punch him in the face” especially after Kay-See and I told him an interesting tidbit of information. Kay-See was trying to get me to give up my dibs on Curtis Stone for Z, but I wasn’t biting and said I wouldn’t even know what to do with him. Kay-See and I discussed plans to take a trip to San Fran to do some shopping and JP said we could stay with him and was giving us suggestions for things to do and places to eat / drink. Zeph let JP and Kay-See sample a few different wines and some Grappa and some other alcohol that Zeph described as tasting like “ when you throw up in your mouth” mmm, tasty. Zeph had his ipod going and was playing all these Atmosphere songs Josh loves then was playing Arrested Development so we were like “Play Mr. Wendal!” and all sang along to it. I met Zeph’s gf, Katie, and she was very nice. We talked for about 20 minutes then I went back to JP and K. We closed the place down and walked back to the cars after 2:00. Kay-See said she would take JP home since his hotel was just down the street from her place so I got to drive straight home and got to bed around 3:00. Yawn!
Thursday 4/12, I dreamed I told Warren to shut his mouth because he wouldn’t stop talking about seeing Grant E.’s Mom in Penthouse. Weird. Went on my short walk then did jumping jacks and pushups in the back while J explored then ate some dinner. I ended up leaving around 10 for Susan’s with cookies in tow and we sat on her bed looking at profiles and chatting and consuming delicious cookies. We left around 11, parked and went in where I tried to ask Travers about Eric the cute bouncer that used to work there but he gave me a very dismissive “I don’t know” oh, well, um, ok. There was a good song playing so we hit the floor immediately after checking our coats and we both commented how it felt weird to not do a lap first or go upstairs to see who was there. A Cure song or something came on so we went upstairs where I said hi to my cute gay bartender and he ended up coming over and flirting and dancing with me for a second and Susan pointed out that he’s clearly gay but also likes me. I’ll take it! After hitting the floor again Susan noticed this hot guy upstairs with a studded belt and I agreed that he was very hot so we ended up going up there to get a better look while he played pool, and whew, he was really hot. Tall, dark hair, skinny…you know the drill. He seemed disinterested so we went back downstairs but had spotted Max and Susan told me NOT TO WAVE, just smile if you have to. Ok, good advice, and in the meantime we were going to avoid him and have Susan dance facing him so he can’t make eye contact with me and misinterpret it as flirting. We’re dancing and I spot Richie come in and he appeared to be alone and came over not too much after getting a drink and told me about some drama he had experienced earlier in the day. The three of us talked, took pictures, laughed and admired his “Ankle Biters” before watching a hilarious, albeit short, drag show. So Richie and I are dancing when all of a sudden this girl came flying at me and knocked her head into mine and her whole body against mine in addition to stomping on my foot. I blinked a few times as I regained my balance, looked at Richie and asked "What the fuck was that?" These people were totally oblivious and falling into us over and over and over again, so we decided to resurrect our fun little ass pinching game. Richie and I switched spots, I leaned in and gave this dorky guy a hearty pinch on the ass and when he turned around and saw Richie it was glorious. They kept doing it so I kept pinching him, the last time being the funniest because he became so accustomed to it that he didn't even turn around, it startled him, he jumped and moved over. That's right, keep it on your side of the floor. We saw Teal and Darren and alternated singing to and dancing near them and when Richie had gone out to have a smoke Max made his way over. I think he said to me “We are party people” and even after asking him to repeat, was convinced that's what he said. What a weird thing to say. Party people? He seriously must be German. I was bummed because we were dancing RIGHT BY Studded Belt and I was attempting to get his attention, then in barges Max with his skirt and corset, and Susan’s like “Your boyfriend just cock blocked you” and I replied “I know!” So we’re dancing and I’m trying to avoid looking at Max too much but felt bad because I didn’t want to blow him off or ignore him, but I’m not trying to lead him on, you know? So Susan spots Richie come back on the floor (I had told Richie about Max earlier and he told me he would save me if I gave him a sign) so she runs over to get him and in that 15 seconds Max gets right in front of me and takes my hands and is like, trying to dance with me that way, until Susan and Richie rush back over and join the circle and Richie whispers “He’s so gay” and I was like, hmm, I don’t know about that Richie. I asked Richie what he thought about Studded Belt so he walked over right in front of him to get a good look and said he wasn’t really his type. Plus he thought he was gay. Oh well. Then Susan tapped me and pointed over toward Michael, so I squeal and make a mad dash (much as Max usually does when he sees me) for him. He gave me a big hug and a kiss on the cheek and we talked and danced and I asked him about Eric and he said he doesn’t really talk to him anymore and I told him I still think of him every day and hope he’s ok. I kept telling Michael how glad I was to see him, like over and over. He left the dance floor and Richie was talking to a friend so Susan and I had a chance to commiserate and discuss Jeff then I spotted Craig and he came over and I got a hug and talked with him for a minute then the song that reminds me of Eric came on so I started singing to it with my hands over my heart and did the shimmy for Susan then Michael came back and we danced with him some more which resulted in kind of pushing Craig out of our dancing circle. The songs were so good, like one after another, it was amazing, especially Mony Mony and Do You Wanna Touch Me (“Velvet Goldmine bitch!”) which made it the best night for a long time. We decided to take off a few minutes after Richie did so we tracked down Michael and he gave me a kiss on the lips then we busted ass back to our cars. It was so fun that I didn’t even have a chance to say hi to Thomas or track down Studded Belt again. Michael and Richie, I’m in love with both of them…and have some sassy new pictures with both of them too.
Wednesday 4/11, I had a make out dream about Trevor that was hot and made me want to real life make out with him. After work I talked to Eliso about living locations and set out on my short walk then did some lunges, pushups and jumping jacks. I had a big salad for dinner and some strawberries and yogurt…then like 5 cookies. I’ve got a whole plate of them, what am I supposed to do?! They look at me every time I go in the kitchen! Hmm, maybe I’ll go get one right now. I called Trevor and left a message that I’d had a dream about him and that I thought it was a sign that I should call and say hi. Then he never called me back. Was I surprised? No. I think I need to be done with guys again. Why do I get so fixated? Even when they’re not that great…not that Trevor isn’t a cool guy, I just don’t think it got to the stage where I should be day dreaming about him for half the day. God, what’s my problem? Snap out of it Karrah! I know having his cd doesn’t help, all I want to do is make out with him when I listen to it. Anyway, I watched ANTM then talked to Susan and went to bed.
Tuesday 4/10, I dreamt Mike Watt came to my house and demo-d my main floor bathroom. It was very bizarre. Anyway, didn’t do much after work…ate dinner, watched tv, fed J…talked to Susan…watched about 4 episodes of Miami Ink and decided I have a huge crush on Ami and Garver. HOT. I looked through some old magazines to start a gradual process of throwing shit out I don’t need / use / look at. Went to bed around midnight.
Monday 4/9, I started making cookies as soon as I got home because the other ones were so good and that took me quite a while. I did a little cleaning around the house and let J in and out as he pleased and eventually ended up in my room reading magazines, watching a Hugh Hefner E True Hollywood Story and playing on the net.
