Saturday 1/12, I got out of bed around 10 and started laundry and cleaning then talked to Chrystol about a web Schuyler was weaving then to Susan and filled her in on the prior night’s events, then Sos about our walking / lunch plans. I continued cleaning and finally got dressed a little before 1 and took off to Sos’. After I got there we took off with the dogs and wandered around in back neighborhoods talking about Ian and our messaging then about her work and how well that’s going and ended up back at her house after about a mile and a half. We went to the little café for the happy hour special but the sandwiches weren’t as good as last time. I left when we got back and called Ky, picked him up, we went to Safeway to do all our respective shopping and I saw Molly and chatted with her for a minute and felt embarrassed that I was in hiking gear with no makeup on, but whatever. We ran around and got our stuff then over to Target to try and find the Loaded Questions Adult version but came up empty and went back to my house to start cooking. We both started in and had a fun time playing off each other and joking. When I got my stuff in the oven I went up to take a shower and when I came back down Ky made me try his risotto which was soo good. Very impressed Ky! I showed him what I’ve done upstairs and we ended up on the computer trying to find the game, finally found one up at Crossroads, so I quickly got ready, we grabbed our dishes and out the door we went. When we got to the game place the guy totally pulled out the wrong one and we were so bummed. As we drove toward the freeway Kay-See called and asked about R and I said it was fine and can’t dictate who can come to a party that I’m not throwing. Ky called Richie to let him know then we gabbed for the rest of the trip in. We got rock star parking right in front and went up to find Cory busy assembling the most delicious brie, flank steak and bread appetizers. Throughout the night I think I seriously ate about 7. And they weren’t small. The four of us talked and I heard stories about how Ky is always picked on when they play truth or dare and got slapped in the face twice during the last round. Neil was next to show up and I got a nice long hug from him, mmmm. He was lookin goood. The talking continued then K showed up with the most delicious looking s’more brownies. I just wanted to shove all that food in my mouth right then but ended up waiting for Chris to show up before doing that. I tried everything and I think my favorite were Cory’s steak things. People seemed to like my quiche-y thing too so that was good. At one point Chris casually said “Spit on it and stick it in” and I was in stitches and said it for the rest of the night. I promised it would be my new headline as soon as I got home. Before we could finish eating the paper was passed out for a new version of T or D where each person writes two truths and two dares and everyone puts them into a hat and one by one people pick them out of the hat and you have to do it…except you get two passes. I was totally nervous and of course my first one was “Show your nipple (just one) – No hesitation” except I totally hesitated and just kept saying that I didn’t know if I could do it. But I did because it was just “the girls” and it was only a second. Chris said I have, like, the most perfect nipples ever and I called him a flatterer. The rest were a piece of cake after that mostly because I didn’t have to do them as they pertained to having to kiss myself. Ky definitely ended up with the short end of the stick getting kicked in the shin (twice), hands run through his hair, his inner thigh bit, earlobe sucked on, kissed on the cheek and probably more that I’m forgetting. Neil had to call an ex, there was lots of flashing the street, there were many dares for people to French kiss me which were taken as passes, I half attempted to dry hump Neil on the couch but gave up because I was too nervous and everyone had their cameras ready, Rachel licked the bottom of Neil’s shoe, Richie showed his butt, Kay-See got her ass pinched and many graphic questions. It was fun, then we played Apples to Apples which I was sucking so bad at so Neil gave me one of his cards out of pity. Eventually I just started trying to pick a card that would be the first discarded because whether I tried or not mine was always seen as going “too far” so that was funny. I eventually got one so that felt good, I think it was the James Dean one. The AIDS one was hilarious because it works 24/7! 365! It’s the busiest! Neil’s shuffling cracked me up and he’s such a flatterer. He called me Mariah after he heard me singing a little and I told him he was so full of it, but giggled and gave him a coy smile anyway. Rach said something to Neil about getting on his lap and I was like “Back out!” and he was like “Yeah, I’m spoken for” and I was like oh snap! That’s right. Oh Neil, you make me tingle in places covered by my bathing suit. K left partway through Apples then Ers showed up and we decided to do round two of T or D. I didn’t want to and tried to leave but got pressured into it. Afterward I packed up my stuff then Richie pulled me into his room and shut the door so we could get some pictures together even though we both looked drunk in both of them. I got hugs from the rest of the crew and pawned off the other quiche on Neil and Cory. At home I saw Ian was online when I so I called him but he was out so I only talked to him for a few minutes. I watched SNL and updated this before going to sleep at 1:00.
Friday 1/11, I was off work early so I went home and popped in Me, You and Everyone We Know and laid in bed. I talked to Susan then decided to call Chrystol and Schuyler to see if they wanted to go to the SH for happy hour, C said they were just eating dinner but wanted to talk about insurance so I gave her a little advice and told her I would call on Sunday. I texted Eric to see if he was even working and he was so then I called Ky and he invited me to go to Neil’s so I hopped in the shower and heard my phone ring, then as I was getting out it rang again and it was C saying that S was up for happy hour and so was she so I told her I had to call Ky back and would let her know. Ky didn’t feel like going so it worked out well and I took off. When I got there we discussed my blog and some suspicions I have which was all very entertaining for S and C. We packed up and headed out and admired the deluxe port-a-potties on our way in. I saw Eric right away and we went into the bar to sit down. I saw Jason but didn’t think he saw me. Apparently he must have though. So C gets out the insurance stuff and we start going over it and I told her my opinion. Our food came and so did some questionable water which C brought to our waiter’s attention. At one point I looked behind me and noticed Eric’s gf sitting at the bar and directed C and S’ attention and C made a comment about how it seems the boys I date choose angular brunettes after dating me. My apparent opposite. What’s that all about? She’s right. Brandon…Nick…Eric…probably Ian…there could be more but I wouldn’t really know. The three of us talked about Brandon and kids, S’ Eric, the other Eric and my blowout with R. Chrystol was fairly appalled at his lack of respect for her private life which I of course agreed with but whatever. So then I notice Jason walking out of the bar, then Eric’s gf so I’m like, “Oh good, she’s leaving, now I don’t have to feel so bad going to talk to him or whatever” but she was only gone for a little bit. So anyway, then I look up to the doorway and Eric’s standing there looking right at me with Jason behind him so I waved and he waved back. I don’t know if Jason told him or what but he was looking right at our table. A few minutes later he came over and asked us how the food was then quickly said he had to go (I think the gf was watching). They did last call and we got the bill and it was like $3.50 so obviously Eric had taken care of it which was very nice but I feel bad because I don’t want him to think that’s why I go there. He ended up coming back out and sitting down with us and we thanked him and chatted for a minute before he went back over to the gf. C gave me a play by play because I couldn’t see all that clearly from the reflection in the window. We packed up and as we were discussing Susan’s list on the way out (C: “Does she really have a list written out?”) we walked by them and he introduced me to the gf and she seems very nice then we went out to the car with C saying “She’s a woman” in a very low voice, referring to me. I drove them back to their place and dropped them off and drove home. I’m glad they wanted to go out because I always have so much fun with them and they’re both just so funny. I went to bed when I got home.
Thursday 1/10, I had decided to send Ian my blog entry from the night of Sos’ wedding in WI just because it’s fun to read and is a trip down memory lane, so I copied it into an email then added a message at the end that made me a little nervous, but it was true so I felt like I needed to say it in some form. Within an hour I had a text with the same message back from him then a sweet message that made me teary. It gave me a sense of relief and made me totally happy. I talked to Susan and we discussed meeting up and I got ready for Neighbs and headed in a bit before 11. We were greeted by Eric who tried to take my id and if there was more I don’t remember then went upstairs to check out who was there. We spotted Awkward right away in school girl getup then spotted two other girls in similar garb. It was a school girl night! We checked our coats and hit the floor. Most of the songs were good and it wasn’t long before we spotted Eric making the rounds which always delights me but then a drag show came on, which super does not delight me. We stood off to the side and took pictures then when it was over we were back out dancing. Teal and Darren showed up and danced by us for a while and we were both short of breath from those delectable dance moves. Then, THEN, Susan’s PT bf showed up and started in with his totally hot dance moves, THEN the guy I think from UPS started dancing right by us so it was like being surrounded by a dancing hot boy army. I thought Susan was going to explode. Kicky Beret showed up again wearing his Russian fur hat and we got a hug from Tye who was wearing black spandex shorts. Eric walked by us on the dance floor and Teal was all mock handsy as he walked away and I was like “Back out Teal, he’s mine!” and he was like, in all seriousness, “Have you had him?!” and after I laughed and told him no he was like “Well you should!” I know, right? At some point some straight boy came and asked if him and his friend could dance by us and I just looked at Susan, and she didn’t ignore or snap, she told him we mostly gossip and would leave it up to me. I told him we didn’t want to move and eventually they came back and danced with us. The one in the hat was talking to me and he said I should dance with Kicky Beret but I told him no way we only just watch him, then he was like “Did you see that guy in the spandex shorts? Doing like pirouettes?” and I was like “Yeah, that’s Tye” so then he uses that information to impress Susan as I talked to the other guy. Very sneaky. He told me they wanted to go to a good 80’s Night and it was their first one there. They were nice but neither of us was interested, even though they’re probably one of the cutest sets of boys to hit on us there. I still think Eric and Michael will take the cake on that one. I looked up toward the stage at one point and caught Eric’s eye and he did the whole I’ve got my eye on you hand gesture and I just smiled and nodded. Another drag show was manifesting so Susan and I fled and Eric came right over. It was a Mary Poppins act and we all stood there in horror. He started telling me about a Mary Poppins production he was in then Susan discreetly removed herself to talk to Teal and Darren and I sat chatting away with Eric. He was making a lot of Fight Club references that I totally wasn’t getting and more about his jobs and aspirations and moving to foreign countries. Eventually I told him it was time for me to get to Susan but then the drag show was over and I think Jitterbug came on so we ran back out and danced to a song or two then got our coats. Eric said bye and told us to drive safe then we walked to our cars. I found the sweetest text from Ian and totally got teary and continued to read it over and over on my way home.
Wednesday 1/9, I went straight to Mom's after work for Alix's birthday dinner and I still can't believe she's 18. I sat in traffic forever but wasn't even the last one there as I rolled in 15 minutes late. I greeted Ernie and Erika and told everyone about my sore muscles from my workout video and how I'm walking around like an old lady all hunched over because it hurts to move my legs. Grandma and Auntie Lauryn showed up last and we all sat down to dinner. I told Auntie my idea for dates to go to Kauai and the only thing she said was "Only a week? How about you extend it two or three days" so then I was like ok, I guess I can stay a day longer and planned to make the reservation when I got home. I stayed for a while after cake and singing then got out of there because I was tired and just wanted to be home. I made my reservation to go to Hawaii and I don’t really know what I did for the rest of the night. Probably went to bed later than I should have.
