Can I do a shot? - Post 22

okay - so i'm up at Stone Lab taking a class (on an island near s. bass isl - home of put in bay, ohio). this trip is not going to end well for me!!!!

me and 5 others up here for a different class decide to take the water taxi up to put in bay and have a couple of drinks... i think i had 9... 1st bar we went to was a microbrewery, pretty empty. everyone else had a beer, i had a shot and a mixed drink. there were a few chix from a bachelorette party... didn't pay them too much attention. we had our drinks and decided to migrate. went to a bar w/ "the longest bar in the world"... i sat down, ordered a shot and a drink. they have nothing on tap and most of their beer is in 16oz cans. my mates didn't want to stay so i slammed my drinks.

well, the girls from the bachelorete party come over and say "hey, could one of you guys sit down so i can do a shot from in between your legs???" the 2 guys i was standing there with were blown away (and quite a bit older) the 3 lasses we were with were away from the bar. i said something to the effect of "wow - that's really inappropriate". she looked a little sad when no one took her up on it. so i said "inappropriate, maybe - but i didn't say i wouldn't do it ;-)" so i sit down ad bury the drink right at the "Y" and she heads for it, wraps her lips around it, and tosses her head back and slams it! she didn't spill a drop :-D

she thanked me, i signed her shirt for her and we traded a couple of hugs *awww*

the group and i continued on w/ our night... went to a place called the roundhouse and there was a pretty good band from detroit playing "the killer flamingos". excellent mix of covers... katy perry, all american rejects, kings of leon, lady gaga, michael jackson.... the list goes on. had a lot more drinks there. bought a drink for on of the lasses up here w/ us. she's from columbus as well ;-) who knows...

they also have this giant jar of cherrys marinading in 151... so i bought a round of those for everyone.

today (tues) is going to be fucking brutal... hung over... on a boat in lake erie for 6 hrs....

and plan on heading to put in bay again at night!!! this past week (i'll post in a day or two the details from the end of last week) indicates that this summer is going to be fucking spectacular or an epic fail... i'm hoping it's starting to lean towards the spectacular!!!!

follow up on #4 - post 21

i spoke w/ my buddy D a few days back and we were talking about #4 (since he's the friend i met her through)... apparently they spoke a few days before, and the topic that she and i went out came up. he asked her how it was and allegedly she had a really good time and thought i was a good guy.

she asked if he knew what i was looking for (relationship, friends, etc). to which he replied something to the effect of "its really up in the air - you know, whatever" [i'm sure he'll correct me if i'm way off on this...]

so - he turned the question around and asked if she was looking for any kind of relationship. she's not. ergo, i will be no more than a friend.

my 12 in 12 isn't going all that well. i wasted too much time w/ #3 until she told me she was "kinda seeing someone". haven't even been on a date since the one w/ #4 (nearly a month ago, now). recalled m's b/f. jessie was the only new chick i've talked to (see post 20).

rough shit, man.

ugh - post 20

it's been rough... last week of classes, major project, major paper. more than a few nights in the computer lab @ school working on those until nearly 0300 a couple of nights, back at 1000. it's been epically brutal!

i've been having to behave myself b/c of work and school, and i drank more tonight than i did in the past 2.5 weeks. went out for ~5.5hrs. hit surly girl for dinner and drinks, then drinks at short north tavern, mac's, la fogat grill, press grille, and callahan's... i ♥ the end of the quarter!!!!

so the cute classmate - m* - i was planning on asking her out after class. but then it hit me while checking out her cycling attire.. i was interested in her last quarter and tried talking to her, but she started talking about her boyfriend.

so it was - another pretty one that i'm not going to have a chance with.

while at mac's some girl comes up and sits next to me, so i start talking to her. jessie. not at all my type, but shit man, it's all about proximity. then she says she's waiting on her b/f... oh well - wasn't really interested anyhow. but i found out that talking about murder rates is a bad idea - according to D... so, you know... i like, learned something, or something...

i have to say - i was less than impressed w/ the talent pool out tonight. and umm... yeah...

feeling sick - post 19

not ill - but sick to my stomach.

i did something i needed to do, but as usual - my timing sucks. like i said a few posts ago, i was still interested in the girl i dated in feb/mar (girl #2 from post 1) and wanted to try to give things between us another chance. we didn't talk for about a month after we broke up. then we started talking a little. it wasn't anything near the conversations we had before we started to see each other that made me fall for her, but it was something...

it took me so long to work up the courage to have the following conversation with her. i was so nervous that my stomach felt odd and i felt a little tremor in my hands as i typed it out:

[...]
victor 10:17
can i ask you something
girl #2 10:17
ask away
victor 10:19
would you be interested in giving things between us another try over summer - when, in theory, both of our lives will be far less insane than they were earlier in the year
girl #2 10:19
probably not, i am giving the guy that is fixing my bike a chance
victor 10:21
good deal... i hope things work out for you
girl #2 10:20
thanks
you have disconnected
10:28

after her final response, i felt sick. my hands were shaking w/ nerves and from being upset. all i wanted to do was to have a drink. none of my friends were available, so i left school and drove home. stopped at a gas station and bought some pepsi to have w/ my rum... i couldn't focus on my paper or project due in two days. i can't focus on anything other than trying to chat w/ a few classmates that are online right now - just to take my mind off of it.

i'm pretty upset... but i'm trying to convince myself i needed this. her slamming the door shut on me, that is. i hooked up w/ a friend a while back and our friendship just ended w/ no closure - it left me hurt and wanting her for nearly 2.5yrs. it ruined my relationship w/ the ex. it basically fucked me up more than anything else in memory.

now that i have this level of closure - i can move on, right? put her behind me, not talk to her anymore, not think that maybe there can still be something between us, and get on with my fucking life - right?

i hope this is what i needed and that i can move on and not get hung up on her.

now... there's this cute little blonde girl in two of my classes. we talked a little bit last week and she seemed pleasant. i introduced myself "officially" today. i think thursday i'm going to ask her how next week (exam week) looks for her and see if she would like to go out with me...

if only i can put this and all of my papers and projects behind me between now and thursday and sack up to ask her... will post and let you know how things go!
