I Gave Up...Then Came Back

Just when I was getting redonkulously sick of Lady Gaga...I hear her new song, "Alejandro."

Sigh.

Lady Gaga...I'm back.

I'm sorry I doubted you.

Is It Wrong?

Let me set up this scene for you:

After another night of work at Joe's Crab Shack, a fair amount of the servers are utilizing their employee discounts on the food, and kick their feet up a bit. Somehow, the topic of babies was brought up...maybe because one of the flex-managers/bartender's is pregnant.

Either way, one of the guys says this right here...

"Yeah right. I don't want to have babies. I don't want to ruin my life. I could just cut off my toes if I wanted to do that..."

And then I laughed. I laughed so hard the one remaining customer stared at me. But I was tired. And it was funny.

Is it wrong for him to have said that?

Maybe so.

Get Carried Away



WHOO HOO!!!

And the best part about this is? I won't spend DOUBLE the amount on a ticket on account of not being in London to watch the film.

On the other hand...it was way sweet to have seen the first film in London. Darn it! I want to go back!

The Rules of the Game

Apparently in trying to pick up women...there are certain rules. Now, I'm such a lame-o that I wouldn't know the first thing about dating. I don't date really...I meet people, and if we like each other, we immediately jump into a relationship. I've never messed around with the dating scene...it's just not my style.

However, for those that it IS their style...I guess there are rules we must follow.

And I just experienced some tonight whilst out with my brother at Stella's (true...not the first place I'd personally go to meet people).

---

CASSIE's bedroom.
CASSIE is on her computer youtubing and in her baller shorts. Enter JOSH.

JOSH: "Hey, we should go to Stella's and grab food."
CASSIE: "Dude...I already ate."
JOSH: "I know, but let's go."
CASSIE: "Fine...just let me change into actual clothes then." CASSIE changes into jeans, sweatshirt and hat because hair is a mess.

---

Stella's Bar and Grille.
CASSIE and JOSH fine BRANDON and TIM (from 10Kmma) celebrating first successful class at gym. They grab a table in the bar and order food and drinks. There is much talking and laughter.

An hour into the evening, the bartender JAHAN brings a drink over to the table. Sets drink in front of CASSIE.

JAHAN: "Here...the guy over at the bar sent this over for you."
CASSIE: "For me?" Looks around table to JOSH, TIM and BRANDON. "I don't do shots..."
She uncomfortably looks toward the bar to see a weird blonde looking man salute her, and even more uncomfortably takes the drink.
Resumes conversation when JAHAN comes over with another drink from other male at the bar.
CASSIE takes the drink.
CASSIE: "I can't take any more."
BRANDON: "That's ballsy. Sending a girl a drink when she's at a table with four dudes."
JOSH: "That's not ballsy. He hasn't even come over to say hello."
BRANDON: "Yeah, but you never know if one of us is her boyfriend. That's a little weird."

JAHAN comes over again with a third drink.
JAHAN: "Sorry...they just keep sending them over."
CASSIE: "I seriously can't do this one...any one want it?"
BRANDON: "Well, if you're not going to drink it..." BRANDON takes the shot. "I purposefully did it when the blond guy was looking."

JAHAN comes over with two more drinks.
JAHAN: "They said she has to take these two now."
CASSIE: "I don't want them. Any one?"
TIM hands the shots over to his father, BEARD, who takes them both.
BEARD: "I've got nothing to prove."
TIM: "Man, it must be hard to be the best looking chick in the room every where you go."

JOSH walks over to the guys at the bar and speaks with the weird blonde.
JOSH: "You know, a conversation will work a lot better."
BLONDE: "F--- you!"
JOSH: "Hey man, I'm a bartender here, you watch it!"
BLONDE: "Aww man...I'm just kidding!" Tries to high five JOSH.
JOSH: "Don't touch me! Watch yourself pal!"

The scene ended with the three bar admirers going outside to have a smoke and failing to say hello to me at all.

That really didn't bother me. I normally go to the bar with boys to avoid that whole awkward, getting hit on thing...but this was just bizarre. We mostly stuck around to see if it would escalate to anything, which if it did, I wouldn't have had to lift a finger. I was with three guys who all study mixed martial arts. They would've had all of those guys on the ground so fast, my cherry coke would have hardly been touched at all.

SO....here are the rules I've learned from this encounter:

1. Don't buy girls drinks. Apparently, it's a bad move.
2. If you do buy a girl a drink, don't fail to talk to her, and don't fail to acknowledge the friends she is there with.
3. Don't mess with the bartender in his own bar.
4. Should things hit the fan, hang around dudes who fight mma. You get free drinks and a show.
