I can see that you were all very worried...
Thanks for your concern. (If you couldn't tell this is sarcasm! I expect my faithful reader(s) to notice when I don't write anything in 2 weeks.) Enough said.
So I had been talking to this guy from back east for a while. It wasn't really anything - we just had some interesting conversations - which were mostly initiated by me. No big deal. So I was texting with this guy last weekend and he made a comment that was just annoying so I haven't talked to him since. What was it he said you ask? He said "You know there is no us right?" WTF? I live on the west coast, he lives on the east coast. Of course there is no us. I know that. The conversation was no where near any topic that might resemble an "us" discussion. Don't get me wrong - I have been the psycho girl in the past - but not this time around.
That was actually the same night that I drove across town to see Bartender. I need to explain. Bartender is (shock & surprise) a bartender! He used to be at the bar that my friends and I always go to. But, he recently moved to a new bar in the chain that opened on the other side of town which is conveniently near where he lives, yet inconveniently nowhere near where I live. So I have been going to this bar for over a year now and during that time I have gotten to know Bartender. As time went on we taked more and more, just the usual how are you type of thing. Never anything of much substance. Where I work, we have a lot of happy hours, and many times we move them to a local bar. For a while there, everyone was going to the bar that Bartender worked at. Which worked great for me, since I got the credit (which I didn't necessarily deserve) and many free drinks as a result.
One night in June, he tells me that he won't see me the next Friday since he is going on vacation with his girlfriend, who I will call PBW. (You figure out what the initials stand for.) Then he proceeds to tell me that if things don't go well than he will break up with PBW since they have been having problems. And of course his coworker GM pipes up and says that no one likes her. So Bartender continues to tell me that he doesn't really like his girlfriend, even though he lives with her. So then he says if it doesn't work out, then he will move to my side of town and he won't switch bars.
On Friday nights, Bartender and the GM work the bar. Bartender and GM planned to hang out on their last Friday night working together after they get off shift. I had a going away party to go to that night at another bar, but as soon as I could make my get away I left and went to see Bartender. One of my friends was going to meet me up there when she got off work. So I got there, and of course my friend was running late, which wasn't a big deal. But Bartender kept coming over to see how I was doing. But much friendlier than normal. Everyone was in a great mood. GM comes over to ask us if we want to go have a drink with them. We were very noncommittal in our response. So a short while later Bartender comes over and asks if we want to go out for a drink with them. Something to keep in mind here is that, Bartender was looking at me the whole time and ignoring my friend. (This was my friends observation not mine.)So I tell him that as long as he doesn't give me another drink before we left then we could.
So as the night progressed we were all acting pretty silly, I can't even remember exactly what we were talking about, but I asked him how tall he was. He said, "How tall does it say on my license, or how tall am I really?" So I say, "How tall are you really?" He says 5'7". About 20 minutes or half an hour goes by and he asks me how tall I am, so I say 5'11". As he was walking away he whispers, "Never had a chance". I wasn't sure if I heard him right so I didn't say anything. We had a good time. I went into the bar again before his last day and I put a note on the counter (long story short - one night me, my friend, GM, and Bartender passed notes to each other like we were in 3rd grade) that said "Will Shannon miss Bartender?" and check boxes for yes and no. He cam over and checked yes, and then put "Will Bartender miss Shannon" and only one check box for yes. We both laughed. Well since this all happened the week after I got back from 2 business trips and a vacation, and I had no food in the house and no inclination of going food shopping, I went back to the bar one last time before he left, and when I left I put a note on the bar that said "I wish you didn't have a girlfriend." I left before he saw it.
I have seen him once since that note, when I went to his new bar with some of my friends who live on that side of town. I really didn't get to talk to him since his new bar is always packed. But he did say hi and he sounded a little surprised that I drove all the way over there. Oh well. I am not going to do anything about this (non) situation until PBW is out of the picture. I'm not that girl.
Boy I am really making up for lost time here...
There is another guy that I like. I will call him Cajun Girardi. He works at my office, but not for my company. He is a real sweetheart (or at least that is the impression that I have gotten.). He is younger than me by about 3 years, a little bit shorter too, but he is a Yankee fan too. I kind of have a thing for him. I think he is really cute. Especially with the accent he has! And that lower lip can just drive me insane. Anyway, on Friday night I kind of called him randomly. Nothing happened other than him acusing me of being drunk. Which I wasn't at all. 100% sober. Which is funny since I usually need a few drinks in me to get that ballsy. Any way, we talked for about a minute before I got off the phone. My friend (who I really need to come up with a nick name for since she is the same friend as the one I mention in the Bartender story) tried to convince me to go up to where Cajun Girardi was hanging out. I didn't go for two reasons. First of all I am a chicken shit. Second of all, there was no invitation forthcoming, and I wasn't about to show up there alone at 1 am after just finding out where he was. Of yeah I guess I forgot to tell you that the only reason I was able to call him at all was because I know he forwards his office phone to his cell phone and I did not have his cell phone number. So we will see what happens when I see him at work tomorrow. Wish me courage and luck.
Thats it for now. Boy crazy signing off.
