About Last Night. . .

First off, major props to Gloria. I thought this would be a good idea, but I had no idea what to do. So I consulted Gloria, and she put in all the legwork to put this together.

That said, I figured I should start this off with a crazy story from last night that I have already told multiple times.

So, in case you don't know, I am still in South Bend packing and getting the apartment ready for move out. Its pretty boring and lonely with no one else here, so last night I decided to quickly run out to Fiddlers Hearth for a couple drinks and to listen to some music. I had been hoping to get there one more time before I leave anyway. At the bar, I get into conversations with a couple of random people. One guy was a 50 something businessman from Detroit who had a meeting with AM General the next morning. Another guy, who I will call Joe, (Mainly because that was his name) was in his 30's and was married to an ND sociology grad.

As we are finishing our drinks, Joe points out that there really aren't any girls around and suggests that we go somewhere else. I think that he's on sort of a pre-midlife crisis, and I found out later in the night he was just now out of work. I am not drunk yet, and I judge him to not be creepy, so I agree. First we hit up a townie bar in the ghetto. He points out that just in case, there is a gun under my seat (!!) which is even more out of place considering that he has a baby seat just behind me. After a little while there, we head to a strip club. This being my first time to such an establishment, I find to to be an overrated experience, especially considering how much money guys have to drop there. I had already told Joe that I was out of cash, and he had to cover for me for the rest of the night, so I actually didn't spend a dime. After not too long, Joe ran out of money, so we left. I thanked him for everything he bought me, and we parted ways.

In retrospect, last night was not my smartest moment. However, I think I was the only friend Joe's had in a while, so I don't feel too bad. Ultimately, I did not get killed, raped, robbed, or arrested, so I'm counting it as a success.

Since I have had enough excitement for this week, tonight I am watching Lord of the Rings. I will be getting over the lonliness by eating ice cream straight from the tub. I might as well grow a vagina and rent some chick flicks.
