Between issues with my laptop and an unexpected internet outage at my work yesterday I haven't been able to get online. But now I'm back!
I'm a little tired today from a mini St. Patrick's Day outing but at least I'm not hungover. I made sure to only have two drinks and call it a night. I think seeing how wasted people were at the bar was a good deterrent.
I realized last night that I have a habit of singing out loud when I hear a song I like. I don't sing very loud but if you're close enough to me you'll probably hear it. It's almost a subconscious thing, I don't even realize I'm doing it.
Last night at the Tavern, Creep by Radiohead came on. Without even thinking I start singing along, not paying attention to what's going on around me. I look over at the bar and one of the bartenders is looking at me and starts laughing and says something like "nice". I suddenly realize what I was doing and laugh and tell him he wasn't suppose to hear that.
I suppose I could have a worse habit and at least it was Radiohead and not Creed.
I hope everyone had a fun St. Patrick's Day!

Adventures in Boston
When Melissa Darryl and I go out it usually ends up being an adventure. We meet lots of interesting characters on the way.
Melissa and I started our night at Boloco with are usual burritos. I wasn't surprised to see my Boloco fan there. He looks pretty young, probably goes to BC. He was behind the counter though and there was another guy who we started calling jerry curl dude at the register. He was very obviously flirting with us even though Melissa and I were like hey we just want burritos.
Apparently BC boy wasn't a big fan of this because he was hanging out where we were eating and started talking to us. I told him I was sorry I was a pain ordering my burritos because I always sort of create my own. He responded with "oh no you're not a pain" and threw in a wink for good measure. Meanwhile, jerry curl dude comes literally dancing over and is all "what's up ladies?" I'm trying so hard not to laugh and Melissa isn't doing too well either.
When we're putting on our coats jerry curl dude tells us to wait because he wants to invite us to this party. He goes out back to write down the info (yea, we're not going) and BC guy comes over. He tells me he likes my skirt (I'm wearing a dress), I tell him I don't normally get dressed up for Boloco. He says "well I would get dressed up for me too." He usually never says more than two words to us so I don't know where all of this is coming from. Some how the conversation ends with him telling us that next month they're changing their uniforms to include ass less chaps.
Jerry curl dude comes back and hands us a paper with a book written on it. Name, address, cell phone, e-mail. Who writes their e-mail down? We said thank you and left. Melissa told me to hold on to the paper because she didn't want to try to call him later drunk to go to the party.
So after the Boloco ridiculousness, we rounded up Darryl and headed over to Mantra which has a $25 cover! The only way to get in there is to eat dinner and stay. No way I'm paying $25. We were near Felt so we headed over there. There was quite the group of people in there. I felt like I was watching a combination of the pick up artist and Shallow Hal. We decided to stay though since we were there and it was quite good people watching.
While trying to get to the bathroom I get pulled aside by a more sleazy version of Brody Jenner. He's thinks it's ok to try to make out with a girl who's walking by. No thanks. I run off to the bathroom to escape. When I'm walking back he grabs my hair. What is wrong with people!
Melissa and I were doing our Romy and Michelle inspired dance on the dance floor while Darryl stands by and refuses to talk to ladies. I did meet one nice guy who told us he liked how we didn't take our dancing super seriously. He just moved here and asked if he could hang out with us sometime. He had to drive his two friends home so we left to go to the tavern. I saw Brody grinding some girls on the way out. Have fun with that one ladies.
We made it to the Tavern with an hour to spare. Right when I walk in I see a guy I like. He has dark hair, lots of tattoos, the plaid shirt and the rocker boy skinny jeans (yea that's my type). I didn't say anything though because I wasn't really in the mood. But around closing he started talking to Darryl and I. We were having an argument on whether or not hockey is a racist sport. Tattoo boy and I said that minorities just aren't interested in hockey while Darryl claimed the sport doesn't like minorities. I asked Darryl if he actually knew a minority.
When the bar closed tattoo boy walked back towards Melissa's house with us since he had to stop by this local restaurant where he is the bar manager. Hello, jack pot! He asked if he could call me later and come by for Chinese food. I said yes. In the mean time there was this old guy who was semi in our conversation at the bar and I just noticed that he was walking with us. At one point he whipped out some coke and we were like, no, we're not interested. It took us a while to get rid of him, he was creepy.
Tattoo boy came back 15 minutes later. We all ate Chinese food in the kitchen at 4 am. He actually had the new Cardinals CD on him! Could this get any better? He wants me to visit him at the bar on Monday. I'm still deciding if I'm going to do it. It's very hard for me to resist tattoo boys.
So I think this picture sums up the night. Earrings falling out, a wtf is going on look on my face.
