What the fuck happened last night?
Rita and I went out for a few simple drinks for Happy Hour with Mariah and Rachel at a beautiful bar called McAnn's. Next thing we know, it is 4 hours and another bar later and we is wasted and wondering when it was that she and I became rockstars. Usually it is bed at 7pm. Last night it was bed at 1:30am. Whoa. (Said who-ah)
What a great time we had. Rita got to know Rachel and Mariah a little better. We laughed, danced, drank thousands of drinks and even received a free round at McAnn's. For no reason! The waitress was the weirdest bitch to wait a table, however, she was super cool when she gave us free booze. She also kept trying to shove Boof popcorn down our throats. But we weren't having it. After McAnn's, we walked up to Zanzibar and continued to get wasted and party out like it was a Friday night.
My favorite parts of the evening were as follows:
1) Running into Penelope's roommate David. How often do I see people I actually know in the city? NEVER.
2) Rita spilling her drink all over the table while it was completely full. Then the waitress brings her a new one and doesn't charge her for it. (Awwww.....)
3) Doing the "stick-shift" driving dance move to the point of hysteria.
4) Having moments with Mariah that make me love her even that much more.
5) Chilling out with Rachel and making her my new best friend. As I said last night "She is my new project".
6) Buying new sunglasses! I have never really owned sunglasses before. I am SO NY now.
7) The talks, both serious and not serious, that I had with each person I went out with.
8) Coming home to see Kelly sitting on the steps wasted from drinking a bottle of red wine!
9) Being social, happy, and comfortable with who I am and what I had to contribute to this brand new situation I was in.
What a great night. Upon arriving at home, Kelly, Rita and I played in the backyard for a while. Rita was wasted and spilled a glass of wine, broke a glass of wine, and ran around the backyard flying on her broomstick. She was Thoroughly Modern Millie. After slamming myself in the face with a broomstick and Rita showing us fencing moves, it was time to go inside. Unfortunately, Rita hid in the backyard, which if you have seen my backyard...there ain't many places to hide. But she did a good job and it took about 20 minutes to get her lil' ass inside.
Once in the house, the three of us choreographed dance moves until about 12am and then crashed into our beds. It was a fun and wonderful evening.
Today was a day of exhaustion, pizza, and nonsense. I have done about 17 seconds of work all day. I did play on IWON.com all day though. I was convinced that I was about to win $10,000 and be able to pay off my massive debts.
Nope.
But it was fun playing the different games.
Fuck no it wasn't.
I spoke with Paul last night and it was kind of a bad conversation. He is miserable in Boston without Mariah. I can tell. He won't talk to me about it. All he does is yell at me and tell me that I am fucking up or something. I have been very patient with him and am trying to just take him venting cuz I know he needs that from me. It is hard though. Very difficult in fact. He is merciless when it comes to ripping me a new asshole sometimes. And usually for no reason too. But whatever...the reason is his sadness and I am going to try to be the best boyfriend I can be.
Things are going so well these days! I feel really great. I have some new friends in the city, my social life has perked way up, I have my Mariah here finally!, my headshots are done, the weather is beautiful, and WOW. I am happy. The usual bullshit that upsets me on a daily basis, although not gone for good, is being easily replaced by the fact that my life is changing and fast. I feel like I am moving on to that next level and I am very excited about it. As I have said over and over in this blogger, the rut that I have been in has been horribly painful and frustrating, but it is beginning to end. I have high hopes for the future and for the direction in which my life is seeming to go. This is what I have moved to the city for. It only took a year and a half for me to finally make a group of friends. I have variety now. And how great is variety?!?! So great.
Kelly has friends here, Penelope has grown up here, Rita just got here...it is about time I started getting out of the house and making my life. YAY!
Tonight I am going over to Mariah's with Rita for drinks, a movie, and prolly some pizza. And prolly some cigarettes too. As I said yesterday, I will be spending a great deal of time with her over the next couple of weeks. She needs it and so do I. It's kind of like establishing our new working relationship. So far it has been even better than I imagined. I am thrilled to be able to be one of the most important people she has in NYC. I am thrilled to be introducing her to new people. WOW.
Sensation overload.
My birthday is less than a month away at this point. Ooh...what to do, what to do.
Best not to think about it.
The big 25!
ok...stop Joe...you said you weren't going to think about it.
Tomorrow, Rita's boyfriend will be pulling into town for a quick visit. He is going to be an NYPD stud and has to take his physical and do other sorts of bullshit. I think that Rita is extremely excited. She tries not to show it, but if you look closely, you can see her vagina pulsing with passion beneath her jeans.
omigod...did I just really say that?
yes I did Rita.
yes I did.
HA!
Kelly is busy playing the "I love you....as a friend" game with a straight girl named Sasha. This girl is BIZOMB! She is so cool and so hot. Kelly is doing a wonderful job of playing it safe. She controls herself (most of the time), is a great friend to this girl, and is truly developing a very personal relationship with her. It seems obvious to me that Sasha is interested. Obvious.
However, Kelly has done this before with Angie. And she dealt with so much bullshit with it that I thought she would never play in these type of waters again. Guess you can't decide who to fall in like with.
We shall wait and see what comes next.
Well, I guess that is it! About 45 minutes left of work. Thank the goodness of the lord.
I am about ready to jump off the terrace.......into a vat of boxed wine.
