the party, the chad, the bar hopping, and the chiquito. and all I had to show for it was a porcelain doll
after leaving downtown around 2:30pm we arrived at casa de stacy a few minutes later and quickly scattered to recharge our batteries. I split for the couch, shed my shirt and my pants...somethings never change.
we got to the party relatively early, we were rolling with the hosts after all. this gave nathan and I ample time to score about six or nine drinks before the crowd showed up. I met some more of stacy and ryno's friends. and you know how it typically goes, you are introduced, you get some pleasantries out of the way and then you go back to standing against the wall opposite from the girls. it was such a cliquish jr. dance party at first, but after a few libations and some choice song requests by yours truly it was all about to change. by the end of the night/weekend we were all best friends. too bad chad chose to party himself out. some people aren't just cut out for this drinking thing.
in other news, I finally met my nemesis. and fuck! he's so badass that even I want to date him now. now you are going to think I'm gay...yes, both of you.
speaking of, apparently I'm not the only one who questions my sexuality. her first words to me were: "so I was talking to ryan and nathan last night, and I asked them about you, like if you had a girlfriend, but they wouldn't say anything, 'wait, 'til you meet him' they said, so I just assumed you were gay or something". those words belonged to ashely, I confess that I too was anxious to finally meet her.
regardless of any general assiness that may be going on in my life at the time, I always look forward to meet new ladies, specially friends of friends, if only because I do so love getting props from people who read my journal. I don't think it's a secret that I'm a total prostitute for any sort of recognition, and as such, I've almost completely stopped feeling guilty for enjoying it. the one or two line 'I think you're funny', 'you should be a writer' props that I usually get are good, but the quality of the props I got on saturday night/sunday morning are only exceeded by the quality of the women who dealt them.
there was a reason why I rebooked my flight, instead of just saying 'fuck it' and gone back to bed. I'm glad I did, because I struck up an uncharacteristically quick rapport with sweet ashley whose next line went "did nathan tell you that we had sex last night, and that I'm shacking with one of you guys again tonight?". yeah, this girl can definately hang with us bullionaires.
after topping off my screwdriver for the eleventeenth time, we got to talking. after talking for about an hour, the number of coincidences and common points of interest became too many to ignore, and against my better stalker-avoiding judgement, I didn't put up any sort of fight when she asked for my number. thank jeebus for the occasional lapse in good judgement.
I still wasn't too sure about her, so I fired off a volley of 'bull' with the anxious wonder of a couple dressed up as raggedy ann and raggedy andy on 'let's make a deal' wondering if their big prize would be a brand new car or an old drunk donkey. let's just say, were this 'let's make a deal', raggedy andy would have epileptic seizures of pleasure and raggedy ann could drive him to the hospital in their brand new lincoln continental.
the awkwardness was present, but much more minimal than most first meetings. we watched together as chad puked his guts out. she didn't laugh at me for having a lame online journal. and we enjoyed a new castle as she won $50 in video poker at lucy's. now if I can only get her to introduce me to her hot, morally casual 'bama friends.
after we all witnessed chad dumping the contents of his stomach on a sandwhich platter that a quick-thinking justing placed under him we decided to walk two blocks to lucy's. we stayed there long enough to regroup our forces and stand in front of the video poker machine and playing just long enough to get a free drink from the all-white clad uptown boys. we called a cab and took it to the quarter.
I was expecting a return trip to big daddy's, but instead I got famous door. a wannabe cancun/padre/daytona bar. the interior is designed completely by john q. fratdaddy. while the sheer number of lousiana trash ladies in there was cool, it's kind of, um, disappointing to drink a seven dollar beer and listen to Nelly even if I'm watching a spontaneous wet t-shirt contest.
at least I didn't have to pay to get in. they charged the four european dudes ahead of me 10 bucks a piece to get in, but for some reason they just waved me past. it's not like I'm ubber attractive or was decked out in my gucci suit. all I can figure is that my fame has somehow spread to souther lousiana. it was only a matter of time, my friends.
After a quick stop by the piano bar at pat o's, I succumbed to the fact that I'm a huge, gaping vagina and went home to sleep at 3am.
besides, nola couldn't handle too much of me in one night. I was giving her a break...
much much more to come,
chiquito the chihuahua
