saturday.

i met up with B for some dinner and pre-bar drinks. on my way to meet him G called to inform me that josh was having a birthday get-together at the bar and he invited us. the fact that he remembered my name, and extended the invitation, put a smile on my face. i called B to see if he was interested and he said that sounded good to him. so we sat and drank at the restaurant and waited for G to meet up with us. she tried her best to con one of us into driving. driving her meant the half hour return trip north to take her home at the end of the night, so we stood strong. we ended up following one another downtown to the bar. G wanted to go see her girlfriend meghan at the other bar first, but B and i weren't in the mood to bar hop, so again we stood our ground. we decided that G has a crush on meghan. G said she just liked her because she gives her free shots.

so in we walked and i felt like a celebrity, and a little creeped out at the same time. the bar is really small so the moment you open the door all eyes turn towards you and size you up. much to our surprise G found someone that she knew, two seconds into the bar. i'm forever impressed by her social skills. so B and i hauled our ditched selves over to the bar and ordered some drinks. we stood and watched the two random people dancing and tried our best to yell over the music.

i guess the guy G knew told her that he knew me. that i hated him. that he was afraid of me because i wanted to kick his ass. and that he was a jerk to me before. B is at least three inches taller than me, yet this friend of G's kept calling me the tall one. i have no idea who this crazy person is. i told B that i must have an alter ego that's a total circuit boy who likes to kick some major ass. he laughed and said he could see that, since i have such the reputation for getting into bar fights.

josh came up behind me and gave me grief for, "throwing shade his way", i told him that i was sorry and i didn't even see him. i wished him a happy birthday and tried to get past the shock of him not only remembering my name but from the kiss he gave me when he walked off.

G eventually decided to join us again and we sat there screaming our conversations at one another. G and i both fell in love with the same cute boy in the striped shirt. her plan was to fall in love and run off with him that night. then she said once she saw him dance she knew she didn't have a chance with him.

we looked around and noticed this small group of what we described as junior high kids walking towards us. four girls and two guys all walking single file to the dance floor. the looked both shocked and confused as if they stumbled in the bar by pure accident. B and i decided that they were on a school trip and somehow got separated from the rest of their group. the just stood in this little group looking around for twenty minutes and then they left. it just made us laugh.

after a couple of rounds of drinks we decided to call it a night. we made our way to josh to say goodbye. he tried to keep us there a little longer. i told him happy birthday again and thanked him for the invitation. then he kissed me again, and mentioned something about mike. i really don't know what to make of the whole situation, i'll just chalk it up to him being drunk. but further investigation into the matter may be needed.

once we got outside, G asked if we could hit another bar down the street just to see if it had changed since she was last there, a few years before. we agreed headed down the street. G ordered a drink and we sat at the bar. we played the game that was on the bar, looking at pictures of naked men and trying to spot the differences between the two pictures. i had no idea that such a game even existed but apparently G is a skilled master at it. after about ten rounds i too became a pro. B was better at it but we kept losing him to the ms. pac-man game that was behind us.

B eventually called it a night. we said our goodbyes, G finished her drink, and we made our way to the car too. G was dying for a pizza so we ordered on from the best italian place on earth and headed that way. we waited in the car, watched even more snow fall, and finally made our way inside. she got her pizza, gave me a kiss goodnight, then we parted. i got five hours of sleep and spent the rest of sunday in a fog.
