A Night To Forget [Revisited] (J. Wilde)

After my last post, last night perhaps seemed like a bust. That was not the case, and it just honestly became one of the more interesting nights I have had. Of course, it was somewhat of a bust. I didn't get to see the people that I originally went downtown to see, but I met some fairly interesting people nonetheless. I ended up going downtown after my last post and went to one of the three bars I can easily find myself getting into. I hung out with some various English graduate students talking here and there. Billy, Suri, Jess, Jamie, Tessa and...the other guy whose name I can't remember. We talked about literature, and after bad hand gestures we talked a little bit about sex (heterosexual...save for the one gay comment I made). It was a good time, and they're both really interesting people.

So, I hit up Main Street Pub afterwards hoping to find someone I knew. No one I knew happened to be singing, but luckily the bartender lent me her phone to call my roommate. My roommate was very much still involved in Watertown, and at the time of this writing could still be involved with her group. I don't know, nor does part of me care. (The other part does...cause I have a shit ton of stuff I need to do today since last night for school work happened to be a bust). After that conversation, I began to walk back to my brother's in the shorts and light blue jacket. The wind honestly took bites out of my leg-flesh as I walked along, but that's what happens when you wear shorts in Feb.

The party that had been occupying the living room vanished. My brother alone sat in the room, and I used the small "baby" computer (that I am using now) to check my yahoo messenger and Facebook. I was irritated. I was looking for my friends phone numbers, which are not online, and then begin to bitch because I could not go down town and see them. However, a thought came to me. My brother was 21. We used MY Id before to get him into bars, would it work in reverse? I asked a friend online, and although he said it was a bad idea, he left it mostly up to me. I took my brother's ID and his phone (My brother is a grand fellow) and made my way back downtown.

I walked into Skinner's with my head up, my lips far from a smile and handed the ID. They let me get in. This is where I saw my friend Justin. Justin and I have a fairly interesting past, mostly because we seem to see each other so sporadically. That works, mostly because we both frequent the bars on weekends. I talked for a few minutes, and he tried to get ahold of another friend (who lived in my apartment building). She didn't answer, so I set the phone down and bid them a quick "I'll be back." I scowered the other bars, easily getting in...mostly because I am way to well known downtown, but also because of the ID of my brother I had in my pocket.

With my friends nowhere to be seen, I made my way back into Skinner's. I was a bit afraid the guy at the bar wouldn't let me in (mostly cause I know he's seen me with my other ID). He did...but it makes me slightly suspicious since he might not let me in next time WITH my ID. I began hanging out with Justin. Kyle (one of Justin's friends) ended up coming over to join us and we had a slight conversation. He ended up mentioning how he liked Twilight and I said. "Are you kidding me? That makes you gayer than I am, and I suck cock!" Right in the middle of Skinners. We bonded.

I also said one other interesting quote last night in reference to bisexuality. "It's kind of like having your learners permit, until you get a full liscense." It was a very interesting night to say the least. Kyle was fun. He works at Wal Mart, and bought me a Chuck Norris shot, which was my first drink of the night. Then, Justin gave me his PBR. Then, he gave me his NEXT PBR, because he took Derek's vodka/red bull. I was fairly tipsy by the time this young man Alex came over to begin talking to Kyle.

Alex was an attractive young man who actually started school the same time I did. He is part of some computer degree on campus. He knew my friend Charlie, and he used to be pre-Pharmacy, although he didn't get in the program. He and Kyle took two more Chuck Norris shots before the end of the night, although I was invited over to Kyle's (where Alex was going). I ended up going with Derek to Stormo's (another mutual friend).

The night was fairly fun overall, and I'm kind of glad it happened. I'm not exactly happy about the events that transpired. It was one of those nights that you're never sure what's going to come of it, but now that it's happened, I'm just glad that it did. I missed buying my friend a drink of any sort (and didn't even see him) on his 21st, but I don't know where we stand as friends. I did not see Amanda last night to see how gorgeous she looked in her dress.

(That's also some slight drama I might need to rectify today, nothing that will ruin a friendship over...but I'll work on it).

Today is another day, and if I knew where my brother's phone charger was I would plug it in and call my roommate. Last night...drama and everything worked out for the best (as Marc said it would), but now I am ready to go home.
