Saturday night was horrible!
We were short a bartender, and of course, it was insanely busy. Not to mention, I'm getting sick again, and I've just been so exhausted. My back was aching the whole night, and I just didn't feel like I was up to doing my best.
Then FB shows up with his friends, and literally will not leave me alone. I mean I was working the waitress well, so it wasn't even really my job to be helping the customers. They had other bartenders for that. But he's ordering rounds of EIGHTEEN SHOTS from me!! Ugh. Then he told Amanda and Melissa that he was "taking me out on a date" tomorrow. Which was so not true. Thank God for Evan! He was there too, and I grabbed him and quickly engaged him in a conversation so FB would leave me alone. FB and his crew didn't leave till close.
I saw Jake The Door Guy on my way to work, and he hardly said 2 words to me. Then after work, he came over to hang out, and he was all, "Hey lover!" and gave me a hug! I think the guy might have multiple personalies.
At the end of the night, while we were cleaning, Frank shows up, completely pants-shitting drunk. I mean, it was ridiculous. And he was talking shit to me for no reason! First he told me, "Fuck you, you fat bitch. Shut your mouth." I almost laughed at that, because it was a rather hypocritical comment.
But then later, he slapped me in the face!!! YEA! I was entering credit card tips on the computer, and minding my own business, and he walks up and says, "Stop looking at me like that!"
"Like what?" I asked.
"The way you're looking at me!" He slurred.
"I can look at you however I want." I said. I was really not in the mood to deal with him after the crappy night I'd had.
"I'll slap you in the face." He threatened.
"No you won't." I said, not even looking at him, and continuing to do credit cards.
Then he slapped me!! And not lightly either. I turned around and slapped him 3 times harder.
"Don't fucking slap me!" I said to him. I was so pissed!
And he laughed.
Then he started talking to Ali, saying that I'm a horrible photographer, and that as much as I try, I'll never be good at it. Normally, I wouldn't have let any of this bother me, but I just got off my period, I'm tired, sick, sore, and at the end of my rope, so this was just the straw that broke the camels back, ya know? I wanted to cry, but I would never do that at work. So I threw down my bar towel, and went to the back bar, to get away from him.
Nick was back there cleaning. I told him I was mad and I needed him to come eat with me after work so I could cry on his shoulder. Lol.
So we went and ate late night Mexican food at some 24 hour joint, and exchanged stories. I told him about Frank, and FB, and he told me about his psycho ex calling and listening to his voicemails.
Oh, and I feel like I have to state for the record, Nick is an awesome guy. He's not out to get into anyone's pants, and he totally respects me. He knows I'm not romantically interested in him either, so he wouldn't try to "cock block" me with Jake. What he told me is what he honestly believes to be true. And I know I can trust him.
Moving on....
Friday night was Blinn's birthday. And I forgot to mention in my last post, he has tried to make out with me twice in the past 4 days! I mean, both times he was drunk, but still... I wouldn't let him kiss me though, because 1) I was sober and 2) I'm not going to end up like Valerie!
I had to take him home after work on Thursday night, because he was wasted and his brother had his car. So that was the first time he made a move. And then Friday, a buncha people went over to his place for his birthday after work, and he started kissing my neck in front of like 3 other people!!! Omg so embarrassing! But it's ok, cuz nobody knows about what happened between us before. Except Alyssa and Bethany. And I know they won't tell anyone. But it kinda makes me wonder if he's actually interested in me, or if he's just drunk. He's always telling me I smell good, and sniffing me. Literally!
Well, sorry this post hasn't been very...detailed, but like I said, I'm exhausted! And I'm really looking forward to getting in bed and reading a book!
Thanks for reading!

The ice is even worse. When there’s liquid in there, yeah it’s fine; it’s like a pool party. “Hey we’re keeping everything cool.” I’m talking about when I get to the bottom and it’s just me and the ice. I’m like, ok just one of you. Come on I just want something to chew on; come on. And the ice is like, “Hold…hold…everybody now!”"

No More Fantasies
I recently decided to drop all notions about me and Jake The Door Guy. I'm the type of person that always gives people the benefit of the doubt. I look for the good in people. And while that may sound like a nice quality, it usually turns out to be more of a problem than anything. And in the case of Jake The Door Guy, I feel like this is one of those situations.
Nick and Jake have been kind of hanging out recently. And he knows about my little crush. And the other day while we were closing the bar together, we had a little conversation about him.
Nick: Hey, can I be completely honest with you about something, without you getting mad, or thinking that I'm trying to cock block you or something??
Me: Um...sure...?
Nick: If you're looking for a relationship, or anything serious, Jake isn't your guy. I mean if you just wanna goof off and mess around or whatever, then go for it. But seriously? He's just out to fuck.
Me: What?? How do you know that?
Nick: Because! I've spent a lot of time with him the past few days, and it's just the way he acts, the things he says... Actually, he's been tryin' pretty hard to get into Tina's pants.
Me: TINA!?! Ew! Why do all the guys like her!? I don't get it.
Nick: I dunno...cuz she's cute. But she's got lots of baggage. But guys seem to like crazy girls I guess?
Tina is the girl I used to work with at the last bar. And I really didn't want her to get a job with me, because frankly, I'm not a big fan of hers. And now apparently all the guys like her. (i.e. The Albanian, Jake The Door Guy, and a couple other bartenders) It drives me crazy! She just recently got divorced! And by recently, I mean...I don't even think the papers are finalized yet. And she's only 22! And I know for a fact that she and The Albanian are already sleeping together. ((huff!)) Anyways, so I decided, right then and there, to stop fantasizing about Jake and I, because I'm not going to delude myself.
Friend Boy keeps calling and texting me. He apparently can't seem to take a hint. I mean I feel kinda bad, but I have to cut the cord. Ya know? I'm not gonna lead him on. But it's really starting to get kind of annoying.
Last night, I had off work, so me, Melissa and Amanda went out. In the end it was just me and Melissa though, cuz Amanda went home early since she had work the next morning. We went into the shot bar, and of course Jake The Door Guy was there. I was cordial towards him, but disinterested. And I'm pretty sure he noticed. And it wasn't like I was doing it on purpose to get his attention either! I just...don't wanna bother getting to know someone if they're only going to disappoint me. If I wasn't interested in him romantically, then getting to know him wouldn't be a big deal. But I know me, and that's never going to happen. So we had a pretty low-key night, just hanging out and stuff. Then we went over to my bar, and ran into Frank, who pretty much attached himself to us, because he has a thing for Melissa. Well, all he did, all night, was talk shit about Nick! And it was really pissing me off, because Nick is a great guy, and a great friend to me. And Frank was making him sound like some dog, who just chases after girls for sex, etc. etc...which is totally not Nick! And when I would defend him, Frank would just say, "You don't know Nick as well as I do! I've known him for 2 years...blablabla..."
"Yea, but you and Nick aren't friends! There's a difference. I actually talk to Nick on the phone, and hang out with him and stuff. And he's not the way you say he is." I protested.
Ugh. I hate it when people bash others, just to make themselves look better. And that's exactly what Frank was doing to try to impress Melissa. He's so transparent...
Anyways, when Melissa and I got back to my car to go home for the night, there was a piece of pizza smeared all over the windshield of my brand new, freshly washed car!!! And I was parked over in the shot bar's parking lot, right next to The Albanian.
"It was Jake!" Melissa exclaimed, "His truck used to be right behind you."
"What an ass!" I said.
"You shoulda put that pizza on his car. Too bad he's gone already," Melissa said, "send him a text."
So I did.
"Thanks for the pizza, I was hungry!" I wrote.
"You're welcome!" he wrote back. An admission?
"You're a douchebag! Putting pizza on peoples' cars..." I wrote.
He didn't respond.
But this morning, I woke up with 2 texts from him. The first one said. "I didn't put pizza on your car." And the second one said, "5:30 in the morning?!?"
I wrote back, "What happened at 5:30 in the morning?"
Jake: You texted me. Or I just got it at 5:30?
Me: You just got it at 5:30. I sent it at like 2:15.
Jake: Oh. What ev! Loser.
Me: I'm not a loser. YOU'RE a loser.
Jake: Nice one.
Me: Lol. I was just trying to level down a bit so you wouldn't feel too intimidated by my dazzling wit.
Jake: True dat.
I didn't respond, but 5 minutes later, he's calling me!
Me: Hello?
Jake: Hey what are you doing?
Me: Um...uploading the pictures from that party at Blinn's the other night. What's up?
Jake: I didn't put pizza on your car! When you sent me that message that said thanks for the pizza, I didn't know what you were talking about, I just said you're welcome.
Me: Haha, yea I thought that was an admission!
Jake: No, it really wasn't me.
Me: Well...I really wish I knew who it was! Cuz it was smeared all over my window, and not many people know I have a new car.
Jake: Well I'm sorry about that. You're lucky it didn't ruin your paint.
We chatted for a bit longer. The whole time I was trying to figure out why he was calling me. He couldn't just be calling to chat, could he? I totally don't get him! He told me he hates his job at the gym, and we talked about what jobs we want and stuff... Then finally his other line was beeping and he said he had to go.
"I'll see you tonight!" he said.
"Ok, bye." I said and hung up.
Hmmm...

A Man, A Plan, An Attention Span
((Sigh))
Well...I'm a little down because my kitten had to be taken to the humane society. Frank hates cats, and my dad is allergic so...my mom decided it was time for Edward and Chloe to go. I miss my Edward sooooooo much! I always looked forward to cuddling with him when I got home from work.
((tear))
Anyways...on Thursday, Jenna and I went to Rich's to visit my new bartender friend, Steven. He gave us tons of free shots, and over all it was a great time! Not to mention, I met yet another adorable bartender named Dereck. And I don't really know why, but I'm super attracted to him! He's got this punk thing goin' on, but he's really sweet, and I love that! We've been myspacing back and forth ever since, so we'll see what happens!
Friday night after work, John walked me to my car, like always, and I offered to drive him back to his, since he was parked down the block. Well we ended up sitting in my car and talking for almost an hour! He told me a bunch of stories about doing reconnaissance in the marines (it's some cRaZy shit!), and we talked about life, and work yada yada. Anyway, somehow we got on the subject of Anchor Man, and he told me he's never seen it all the way through! I was in shock, because I love Will Ferrell and Anchor Man is just hilarious! So I told him he absolutely has to see it. And he said, "Well let's go watch it!" and I was like, "Right now?? At 5:23 in the morning??"
And he said, "Well sure, you have it, right?"
Me: Well...yea but I live like 45 minutes away from here...
John: That's okay
Me: ...and I live with my parents.
John: Ooooohhhh...
Me: Yea...my living situation pretty much sucks right now.
Then I went on to explain how I'm about to move in with Frank as soon as he finishes redecorating, or whatever the hell he's doing these days! I just wish he would hurry up! I think at this rate, I won't be able to move in till I get back from New York! I mean, what's the point? I'm gonna be gone for most of November...
Well, back to our conversation.
John: You have my number, right?
Me: I think so...I mean you gave it to me, but I'm not sure if I copied it right. Do you get text messages?
John: Yea
Me: Really? Cuz I sent you one once that said, "do you get text messages" but you never responded, so I assumed either you didn't get them, or I had the wrong number.
John: Well I had like a hundred messages in my inbox, and I recently deleted them, and then I got like 7 texts at once, so maybe that's why.
Me: Well that explains it!
So now, he gets my texts. :D
Saturday night, Bethany I worked the back bar together, and we decided to go eat after work. Her boyfriend, Tug, was coming too, so I texted John while we were counting tips and asked him if he wanted to join us. He and the other door guys were drinking beer in the front of the building in one of the booths. He agreed, and we all went to a 24 hour cafe. We had fun; I really like Bethany. Another new friend for me, YAY! We've got plans to go out this Wednesday night, since we're both off. WOOHOO!
Oh, and I learned that John likes Harry Potter!! He told me he's just started reading them and he's on book 2 already. I think it's so hot when a guy reads for fun. I love to read! So on my looooooong drive home, I texted John that we should watch the movies together, since he's never seen those either. He said he would be "totally down for some HP movie action =D", but not until he finishes book 2. So we have a tentative...date?
Mitch Of The Day:
"I miss the $2 bill, 'cause I can break a two. $20, no. $10, no. $5, maybe. $2? Oh yeah. What do you need, a one and another one?"
Well...I'm a little down because my kitten had to be taken to the humane society. Frank hates cats, and my dad is allergic so...my mom decided it was time for Edward and Chloe to go. I miss my Edward sooooooo much! I always looked forward to cuddling with him when I got home from work.

Blast From The Past
Ok let me start with Thursday. I went up to work an hour early to meet Vette Guy. I know, I know, bad move. But in a way, it was a good thing. And you're about to find out why. He was a little tipsy when I got there, and his team was losing, and he was dipping! Yea...effing sick. Well the first thing he starts talking to me about is his new promotion and how he's the youngest senior engineer and the usual me me me gab. Then he starts telling me about his next photoshoot and how he hasn't eaten for 3 days because it's a "shirts-off" shoot. Um...ok Lindsay Lohan! Oh, and he told me he's getting a new Corvette, as soon as the new ones are released, now that he's such a big shot at work and all.
Basically, if you could have seen the look on my face while I listened to him drone on about himself for 30 minutes, it wouldn't take you long to figure out what I was thinking.
Work was uneventful, and I didn't see Vette Guy again for the rest of the night.
Friday evening, while I was getting ready for our GNO, my phone rings. It was The Psycho. You know, my most recent ex. The crazy, controlling asshole one. ((Sigh)) So I answer the phone. Here is the gist of our conversation.
Me: Hello?
TP: What uuuup.
Me: Ummm, not a lot. What's going on?
TP: Uh, thanks for ignoring my call earlier.
Me: I wasn't. I was in the shower.
TP: Yea whatever...
Me: Omg I am so over arguing with you, TP.
TP: Haha, yea right, you could argue with a wall.
Me: Ok.
((awkward silence))
TP: Well I was just callin' to see how you were doin'. Haven't talked to you in a while.
Me: I'm doing great actually. You?
TP: Same old shit...workin my ass off all the time.
Me: At least you're making some money right?
TP: Yea I guess. I'm about to move though. I can't wait to get out of here. Alaska sucks and I don't wanna spend another winter freezin' my ass off.
Me: What about your girlfriend? How does she feel about you jumpin' ship?
TP: I don't give a shit. She's stupid.
Me: ...Ok...
TP: I'm only with her out of convenience pretty much.
Me: Um, ok well I guess I can sort of understand that in your situation...sorta...
TP: You should be able to. You break up with people out of convenience.
Me: ((sigh)) Dude...you don't even wanna go opening that can of worms. Trust me.
TP: Oooook cowgirl!
Me: Don't patronize me. I'm serious. I have had a lot, a lot, a lot of time to reflect upon what happened between us, and I've reached a point in my life where I've accepted it, moved on, and...it just doesn't bother me anymore.
TP: Oh really? Well why don't you tell me about these reflections.
Me: No, it doesn't even matter. It really doesn't.
TP: Alright then. Well...I figured out that when I get out of the army I'm gonna go to school for three years, get a degree.
Me: That's awesome. Good luck.
TP: Yea...
Me: You know, you might think I'm just saying this, but really, we've been through a lot of shit together, and at this point, I think I can honestly say that I wish you the best in life. And if our paths ever cross again, so be it. But I'm not bitter towards you anymore, TP. I really just wish you the best.
TP: Whatever. I do think you're just sayin that.
Me: Well I'm not. But hey, I'm headed out for the night, so I gotta let ya go.
TP: Alright then. Do what you do.
Me: Have a good night.
TP: Yea...
Me: Bye.
((click))
There was a little more meaningless chit chat in there, but it's insignificant.
After we got off the phone, he sent me a text that said, "U know i do think u made a good decision by not comming up here. sometimes i just wish i didnt have 2 lost u over it..."
(He's a horrible speller!)
My response, "It was a good decision for both of us. Not just me."
He replied, "Cool. I can roll w that"
Sooooo, that's it I suppose! So random though... I really never thought I could speak so calmly to him again after all that he put me through. But in a way, it feels better to be the bigger person and make him realize what he's lost, than it does to be mean and let him hate me. It's always easier to hate someone. Ya know?? And I felt really good after that conversation because...he hasn't changed one bit! And I feel like I've really grown since then. And after that conversation, it's evident.
We had a blast Friday night! Hardly spent a dime. Cecilia and Jenna ended up not coming. Boo! But we started off at my bar. The Albanian and Frank bought us some shots. Then we all headed next door. Billy was working. His birthday was Saturday, and it was about midnight on Friday when we got there. So we all wished him happy birthday and he bought us a round of shots. It musta been some sort of red flag for all the guys in that bar that there were 6 beautiful girls standing around, because after that, the shots just kept coming! It was awesome!
But just when I was starting to think that everything between Billy and I was cool, and that we understood each other, he walks up and kisses me. AHHHH!!! And I was a little tipsy, and it was his birthday, so I wasn't about to make a fool of him in front of everybody. So what else could I do but kiss back?? SUCH a bad idea...
You know in the movie Wedding Crashers, when Owen Wilsons character writes a note on a napkin and gives it to a girl? And it says, "Do you wanna dance with me? Yes, No, Maybe."
Well, Billy wrote me one of those that said, "Do you wanna snuggle tonight? Yes, No"
Well I inserted my own "Maybe" box and put a check by it. Then I consulted with Melissa and Alyssa about what I should do. Alyssa said, if I just wanna make out and have fun with him, then go for it. Melissa said, "Omg he is obviously in love with you! He is so crazy about you Peyton! If you don't like him like that, you need to tell him."
((Sigh))
Well, I took Alyssa's advice. Although I actually agreed more with Melissa. I ended up staying with Billy while he closed the bar, and then a group of us went to eat at a 24 hour cafe. By the time we got back to Billy's, it was 6 am. We just completely crashed and that was it.
How can he not notice that I don't innitiate any physical contact!? I thought that would be a huge hint! But I guess not... He asked me what I was doing Saturday night, and I told him I'd be at work late cuz we do inventory, so he said to call him when I got done and "maybe we could hang out". Oh g's...
Well last night was a complete disaster zone!! Our computer system crashed around 1 am and we couldnt open or close any tabs, or run any credit cards...it was horrible. We had to do cash only for the last hour and so many people were getting attitudes with me, it was ridiculous! Needless to say, we were there extra late, and we didn't even get to take home our tips because we couldn't enter in credit card tips.
Oh, and guess who showed up??
VETTE GUY.
His cousin was in town from Louisiana and he was showing her around midtown. And he looked super smokin' too... But after what happened Thursday? I dunno...he's just a total player.
So after work, me, Bethany (another bartender), Gavin, and Jeremy (new door guy) were sitting around talking and drinking beer while they were trying to figure out what was wrong with the computers. I mentioned a local show that's going on this Thursday that I really wanna go to. Gavin was like, "Oh! The Tool cover band! I love Tool!"
And so do I, obviously.
So asked him if he was going, and he said to call him and let him know when we'd be going cuz he gets out of school at 9pm. Then we all decided we were gonna go eat at Katz's Deli. It was like 5 am and we were all starving. So Bethany and I drove over together, and Jeremy and Gavin followed. Well Gavin ended up not showing up, so I sent him a text that said, "You're a f*cking sellout!" Haha.
Well he immediately calls me! He explained away how he has to get up early and bla bla, and told me to talk to him till he gets home. So I did! Then when we got off the phone, he sent me a text.
Gavin: u working tomorrow?
Me: Yea, at 7. You?
Gavin: hell no...but i might come up there to drink around 9...will c.
Me: You suck. Well yea, I'll be there...being miserable like I am every Sunday!
Gavin: ha can't be that bad
Me: You have no idea... Sundays are the worst. It's like, hey, if you're a dumbass, come to (our bar) on Sunday!!!
Gavin: nice... well im crashing...enjoy ur 12 dollar hot dogs hehe maybe c u tomorrow night
Me: Oh I will! 12 dollars hot dogs are the best! Good night!
Was he flirting??? YES?? NO??? MAYBE???
Guess I'll find out at work tonight...
Mitch Of The Day:
"I want to get a vending machine, with fun sized candy bars, and the glass in front is a magnifying glass. You'll be mad, but it will be too late."
Basically, if you could have seen the look on my face while I listened to him drone on about himself for 30 minutes, it wouldn't take you long to figure out what I was thinking.
Work was uneventful, and I didn't see Vette Guy again for the rest of the night.
Friday evening, while I was getting ready for our GNO, my phone rings. It was The Psycho. You know, my most recent ex. The crazy, controlling asshole one. ((Sigh)) So I answer the phone. Here is the gist of our conversation.
Me: Hello?
TP: What uuuup.
Me: Ummm, not a lot. What's going on?
TP: Uh, thanks for ignoring my call earlier.
Me: I wasn't. I was in the shower.
TP: Yea whatever...
Me: Omg I am so over arguing with you, TP.
TP: Haha, yea right, you could argue with a wall.
Me: Ok.
((awkward silence))
TP: Well I was just callin' to see how you were doin'. Haven't talked to you in a while.
Me: I'm doing great actually. You?
TP: Same old shit...workin my ass off all the time.
Me: At least you're making some money right?
TP: Yea I guess. I'm about to move though. I can't wait to get out of here. Alaska sucks and I don't wanna spend another winter freezin' my ass off.
Me: What about your girlfriend? How does she feel about you jumpin' ship?
TP: I don't give a shit. She's stupid.
Me: ...Ok...
TP: I'm only with her out of convenience pretty much.
Me: Um, ok well I guess I can sort of understand that in your situation...sorta...
TP: You should be able to. You break up with people out of convenience.
Me: ((sigh)) Dude...you don't even wanna go opening that can of worms. Trust me.
TP: Oooook cowgirl!
Me: Don't patronize me. I'm serious. I have had a lot, a lot, a lot of time to reflect upon what happened between us, and I've reached a point in my life where I've accepted it, moved on, and...it just doesn't bother me anymore.
TP: Oh really? Well why don't you tell me about these reflections.
Me: No, it doesn't even matter. It really doesn't.
TP: Alright then. Well...I figured out that when I get out of the army I'm gonna go to school for three years, get a degree.
Me: That's awesome. Good luck.
TP: Yea...
Me: You know, you might think I'm just saying this, but really, we've been through a lot of shit together, and at this point, I think I can honestly say that I wish you the best in life. And if our paths ever cross again, so be it. But I'm not bitter towards you anymore, TP. I really just wish you the best.
TP: Whatever. I do think you're just sayin that.
Me: Well I'm not. But hey, I'm headed out for the night, so I gotta let ya go.
TP: Alright then. Do what you do.
Me: Have a good night.
TP: Yea...
Me: Bye.
((click))
There was a little more meaningless chit chat in there, but it's insignificant.
After we got off the phone, he sent me a text that said, "U know i do think u made a good decision by not comming up here. sometimes i just wish i didnt have 2 lost u over it..."
(He's a horrible speller!)
My response, "It was a good decision for both of us. Not just me."
He replied, "Cool. I can roll w that"
Sooooo, that's it I suppose! So random though... I really never thought I could speak so calmly to him again after all that he put me through. But in a way, it feels better to be the bigger person and make him realize what he's lost, than it does to be mean and let him hate me. It's always easier to hate someone. Ya know?? And I felt really good after that conversation because...he hasn't changed one bit! And I feel like I've really grown since then. And after that conversation, it's evident.
We had a blast Friday night! Hardly spent a dime. Cecilia and Jenna ended up not coming. Boo! But we started off at my bar. The Albanian and Frank bought us some shots. Then we all headed next door. Billy was working. His birthday was Saturday, and it was about midnight on Friday when we got there. So we all wished him happy birthday and he bought us a round of shots. It musta been some sort of red flag for all the guys in that bar that there were 6 beautiful girls standing around, because after that, the shots just kept coming! It was awesome!

Clarity
Ok I know it's been a while, so I have a lot to write. I'm gonna try to to this chronologically.
Last Saturday we stayed after work and played poker. It was so much fun! Annnnnnd...Gavin was there. He sat next me and we talked a bit. I know I said I was over him, but hey, he's still hot and available as far as I know! So we goofed off and drank and played cards till about 7:30 am, and then the people that were still playing decided to take the party over to DJ's house because the cleaning crew was about to show up! Gavin invited me to go smoke a bowl with him at his place, and I was soooo tempted to, just so I could hang out with him, but it was 7:30 in the morning, and I was having trouble keeping my eyes open. So I went home. He said his offer still stands anytime. So we'll see...
As for Billy, we hung out a lot this past week! I stayed at his place Thursday, Sunday, and Tuesday! We ate out, and watched movies mostly, but it was fun. I did, however, realize that my fears of not wanting a boyfriend weren't actually self-sabotage. It was the truth revealing itself to me in it's own way. The thing is, Billy is a supernice guy, and he seems to be genuinely into me, which is more than I can say for any of the guys I've dated this summer. So I guess I kinda jumped at the chance to have someone there who would appreciate me, when really, he isn't the guy for me. I mean he's great, and fun, but after the excitement of having a new guy wore off, there just wasn't any chemistry. I mean, I'm not that physically attracted to him either, and I kinda feel like I'm settling, just because he likes me. So...I'm going to have to end things with Billy. I'm just not really sure how at this point. I just don't want things to get too far, and too involved, and too messy. So it's better to end it after a week, than after a couple months. Right?? I mean this might sound awful to some of you guys, like I'm just throwing back the first good guy I find, but honestly, I'm goin' with my gut on this one.
((sigh))
In other news, I've been kind of avoiding May lately. Well, not exactly avoiding, I just didn't have any desire to hang out with her because she acts so...different! She got back with the shady ex-boyfriend, and things just went downhill from there. But of course, they broke up again, and I wanted to wait it out a little and see if it would stick. So I called her up yesterday and asked if she wanted to go to dinner. Well dinner turned into going out after we'd had a couple margaritas! Haha, but we had a blast! We got ready at my house and headed to midtown to find the party. Granted, it was a Wednesday so we weren't expecting much! We went to several different places, and they were all slow, so we finally headed over to my bar. The Albanian was working. I asked him where everybody was tonight and he said, "Why aren't you at Rich's?? DJ AM is spinning tonight!"
I had heard that DJ AM (you know, the guy who dated Nicole Richie) was going to be in town, but I didn't know when, so this was definitely a pleasant surprise. The Albanian pulled 2 tickets out of his pocket and handed them to us. We thanked him a million times and bolted out of there as fast as we could!
When we got to Rich's, the place was packed! Definitely more excitement than we had bargained for on a Wednesday night! So we valeted and headed inside. I ran into Frank, and a few other people from work and we took a couple shots. I got a cute bartenders phone number too, so I guess you could say the night was a success!! ;)
Rich's stayed open till 5 am last night, but pretty much everyone left at 2 because the bar closed. So a few of us decided to go to our favorite 24 hour restaurant for some grub. May came too of course, but then she got a mysterious phone call and someone picked her up. She called me later and said she was too tired and not feeling well so she called a friend. ((shrugs))
Anyway, so it was just Frank, The Albanian, and one of our managers whom I will call Mr. S.
After dinner/breakfast Frank asked if I wanted to stop by and see the (our) apartment, since it was just down the street. I jumped at the chance because I'm supposed to be moving in in 2 weeks!
And he wasn't kidding when he said he was doing serious work on it! The apartment looked like a construction zone! The entire place was covered in dust, and there were half finished projects everywhere! But I can tell, it's gonna look bad ass when he gets finished! I mean he completely flipped it! Haha, seriously, I told him he should work in construction. It was pretty amazing. I also told him we're having a huge house-warming party. Lol.
Ok so last, but not least, in the news, Vette Guy called me yesterday. ((sigh)) Yea...a whole 'nother can of worms. He wanted to know what I was doing tomorrow (today) because he's gonna be up at my work watching the football game. I told him I'm working at 10, and he said I should come in earlier and hang out with him. So...I dunno. I'm kinda thinkin' about it, just because after the Billy situation, maybe I need a jump start?? I dunno...maybe that's just a really really bad idea. I'm leaning towards the latter. But I'm still not sure what I'm gonna do.
I have off tomorrow, for like the first time in weeks! Melissa and I have big plans to hit the town. I got the cutest dress! Jenna's coming too, and Alyssa and Cecilia!! Her mom is taking Presley for the night so she can have a girls night out with us. It's gonna be so much fun, I can't wait! Maybe I'll meet a new hot guy...or maybe I'll just have a grand time with my girls, as always!

Austin!
This post may be a bit cumbersome cuz Jenna and I are in the car on our way to Austin! I'm typing this on my blackberry. We're gonna hit 6th St tonight and float the river tomorrow if the weather permits. It feels so good to be getting out of town! I really needed this, and I am SO excited!
I had the worst weekend ever, just as expected. Mitchell and The Model showed up at my work Saturday night and they didn't even come to the back bar to say hi! I just happened to run into them on my way to the bathroom. The Model was overly nice, acting as if nothing happened. He hugged me like 4 times. But after work I found out from Nick that he gave his number to Kristin, the new cocktail waitress!! To be honest, I've been putting off writing this post so I wouldn't have to think about it. ((sigh)) I can't even begin to explain how much that hurt me. Will I EVER get over him??
Moving on...so phase one of moving out is complete! I've been keeping track of all the money I spend and earn and I know how much I can save. So I'm moving in with Frank! I'm actually really excited about it! I love Frank; he's so much fun and we get along really well.
As for Vette Guy, I'm done. Seriously. He just likes the chase and I'm tired of running. I'm genuinely losing interest in him now, which helps!
And hey, maybe I'll even get lucky and meet a hot guy in Austin! We'll see... And I'll definiely keep ya posted!
No Mitch today, sorry guys! I don't have the resources at the moment.

Aftermath
Last night Jenna and I decided to go visit Alyssa at work. We had just sat down with our first drink, when Frank walked up. He joined our table and chatted with us for a bit, but I could tell there was something he wasn't saying.
My first thought? "OMG he knows about me and The Albanian!"
They're best friends, DUH! Why didn't I think of this???
((Sigh))
Well, I was right in assuming The Albanian had told him, but I guess it's not too bad! I talked to Frank today to get the inside scoop. He said The Albanian is not regretful or any of that, he's just "whatever". So I guess I can be "whatever" too. It's kind of a relief actually.
But why is it so hard to find a connection?? I mean, as much fun as I'm having, I just wanna have someone to come home to at the end of the night. Is that so much to hope for??
And for all you haters out there, I don't see any harm in kissing! At least I'm not sleeping around. That's all I'm gonna say about that.
Anyway, Jenna's all gung-ho about moving to NY with me. It's kinda funny actually. But I'm glad she wants to come too, cuz then I won't be completely alone in a huge foreign city! And we would most likely have to share a 1 bedroom apartment, but...that's ok. We're family!
Ok, I don't think I've ever mentioned this before, but I have 4 kittens living in my bedroom. Lol. My cat had them a couple months ago and they're all running around like little terrors!! I swear, they get into everything.
I've gotta work tonight, but at least I don't have to sweat it about seeing The Albanian. He'll be at the Shinedown concert with Frank. Well, I'm off to go get ready!

"Work And Play, Are Never Ok, To Mix The Way We Do"
So last night, Evan was at Sophie's graduation party. I had totally forgotten that he was gonna be there! And it was mostly family and stuff, so I could totally tell he was feeling a little out of place. I tried to hang out with him and stuff, but I kept getting sucked into conversations with aunts and uncles and various other relatives. But, I guess, overall, things weren't that awkward. Except that I knew what both of us were thinking...
Well, around 8:15, Evan said he was ready to go, and so was I since I had to be up at work by 9 to catch the party bus. So I drove him to his car, and I was halfway hoping he would, I dunno, kiss me or something! But he didn't. And then I left. ((sigh))
I was late for the bus, and Frank kept calling and asking how close I was. I was probably going like 90mph down the freeway trying to make it on time! But we ended up having to wait on some other girl too, so it was all good. The bus was awesome! I sat behind Frank, in front of Gavin, diagonally across from The Albanian, and next to this really cute guy I'd never met, who introduced himself to me as Billy. Turns out he works at the new bar that just opened around the corner. It was almost overwhelming! I didn't know which guy to flirt with! Haha.
So I flirted with all of them!
When we got to the pool hall, we were like the only people there. Granted, there was about 30 of us, so it didn't matter! We all got drinks and I mingled for a while. Alyssa and her boyfriend showed up about an hour later, and I hung out with her. I talked to Gavin a little bit, but not as much as I would have liked. We took some shots, and talked about the upcoming Incubus show. I still don't know who I am gonna go with!! I'm almost freaking out...((huff!))
Then I had a long conversation, and some shots with Billy, and he's really sweet and kinda hot too. ;) He told me to come into his bar this weekend, which I just might!
Well, at some point, I ended up sitting and chatting with Frank and The Albanian. And that's where I stayed for most of the rest of the night. Except when we briefly went to the dance floor to watch Mark bust some of his moves. SO HOT. Haha.
Then after a while, Mr. P. (one of the owners) rounded us all up to get back on the bus and start headin' back. I ended up in the seat next to Billy, who kept falling asleep, and I kept hitting him to wake him up. Haha! But even though I was sitting next to him, I was still talking to Frank and The Albanian. So when we got back to our work, we decided to go eat! Me and a former employee named John, rode to the restaurant in The Albanian's car. We ate at this really awesome Greek restaurant! Frank ordered for me and I don't even know what it was, but it was delicious! Gavin showed up at the restaurant too, along with DJ (he's our DJ on weekends so that's what I'm calling him). I went and sat next to them for a little while, but again...I'm just not gettin any vibes from Gavin, so I think it's pretty much hopeless.
When the waitress came, The Albanian told me he'd already taken care of my tab, which I scolded him for! But he's a sweetheart. Then we got back in the car to head back to work and get our cars. The Albanian asked me if I would be ok to drive back home. I told him I probably would, but I wasn't sure if I'd make it without any gas. I hadn't had time to fill up on my way, and all I had was cash! So he just pulled a U-turn in the middle of the street and announced that he was taking John and I back to his apartment. He warned us that it was a small efficiency apartment, and all he had was one bed and a futon. I laughed and called the bed!
The apartment was adorable! Small, but very cozy and neat. I jumped on the bed as John pulled out the futon. The Albanian got us some water and turned on the TV. By the time I was under the covers, John was already snoring! So The Albanian gets in bed next to me and we just started chatting away. About nothing and everything...work, jobs, school... Then I started teasing him about how drunk he was up at work a couple nights ago. I was totally joking but he was like, "What!? What did I do??"
"Ohhh, I'm not telling!" I replied coyly.
"Come on, just tell me! I don't want the people at work to think I'm an idiot! I mean I am their manager ya know..."
"Who cares?! Do you know how many times I've made an idiot out of myself at work!?" I rolled my eyes at him.
"Yea well, I didn't do anything that bad! I didn't kiss anyone!" he teased.
"Yea yea...well you did something equally embarassing! I think we're probably even!" I lied.
"Oh nooo we're not. We're definitely not even." he protested.
"How do you figure? You don't even know what you did! What is it you're thinking would make us even?" I asked innocently.
"This would make us even." he said as he pulled my face to his and planted a knee-buckling kiss on me. Well, it would have been knee-buckling if I'd been standing. And once we started kissing...omg. It was almost like he was nervous...or surprised at his own actions maybe. I could feel the charge in his lips; it was like he was shaking! And we just...made out. For a while. It was so awesome, and yet so innocent. He was a total gentleman. I mean he's definitely not prude! But when I would casually push his hand in a different direction from where he was originally headed, he wouldn't try it again. And it was definitely passionate. And no clothes came off!
I'm getting goosebumps right now, and my heart's probably beating a mile a minute just thinking about it!
At one point I told him we should stop, because I wasn't sure how much longer my self-control was gonna hold up. So we eventually fell asleep. Then this morning he took John and I back to our cars, and it was like it had never happened! I'm not sure if I want to pursue this now, or if I wanna give Evan a chance, or what. Both of them are really sweet, really good guys. Not douche bags at all. But, I also have major issues with both of them. Evan is a good friend, and The Albanian is too much like my ex. ((Sigh))
Well I kind of wanted to feel things out with The Albanian, so I sent him a text as I was driving home that said thanks for everything last night, I really appreciate it. And his responses were so...detached, it was almost irksome! He just said, "No problem."
Then I wrote, "Well we're definitely even now ;)"
His response: Yes sure.
My response: I'm not trying to freak you out or anything...
He never wrote back again.
WTF??
Does he regret kissing me? Does he think of it as a drunken mistake? Does he just not wanna go there because he's technically my superior at work? Is he embarassed?? Ashamed??? AHH!!
I'm so confused...

DiZzY...
Well...I have kind of a lot to write, and hardly any time to do it, so here goes.
Thursday
Melissa's little sister Dee's 21st birthday celebration. We started early at Friday's with dinner and mojitos, then headed to midtown, to my bar, of course! We had a blast, and I had a little too much to drink. Eric The Skeaze showed up, and I ended up making out with him again. ((sigh)) Old habits die hard I guess. Oh well. No harm done. Said a brief hello to Gavin on my way in, but didn't have much opportunity to talk to him after that. Poo.
Friday
Frank asked me to dinner. Yea. Ugh. So much for my new roommate. I could be overreacting though, tell me what you think! He texted me Friday afternoon to see if I was working. I told him yes, at 10. Then he replies, "Want to go get something to eat before we go to work?"
I told him I didn't have time, which was true, even though I would have made up an excuse regardless. So...yea. Don't know what to make of that one.
Also, my phone had died because I'd forgotten to put it on the charger when I got home Thursday. So when I turned it back on, naturally I had texts and voicemails waiting. I had a voicemail from someone who sounded familiar but I couldn't quite place it...
"Hey it's me. I was just wonderin' if you wanted to come hang out by the pool. So...gimme a shout whenever you get this. Late."
I pressed the call-back button.
OMG. It was VETTE GUY!!
WTF?! What is he thinking calling me and saying, "hey it's me" like I just know who the hell "ME" is!? Like we just chatted over cocktails yesterday! Ugh. I did NOT call him back.
So when I got to work, I was the floater, which means they kept sending me back and forth between the 2 bars, depending on who was busier.
So I did something kind of out of character last night. I gave my number out to a guy at the bar. The only reason I can come up with as to why I did that is because he just looked like someone I wouldn't normally go for. And maybe I should give some someone different a chance. Someone that I wouldn't normally go for. So we'll see...
Gavin was there, drinking. He got off at 9. I chatted with him a little bit, but I didn't have much down time and stupid Nick (another bartender) runs up in the middle of our conversation and says, "Gosh Peyton! I know you wanna make out with Gavin and all, but why don't you get to work!?"
He is SUCH an instigator!! And he loves to spread rumors. I know he's just messing around, but still, he's totally ruining my game!! Not that I had any to begin with, but hey... ((sigh))
So I kind of kept my eye on Gavin through out the night, hoping he'd stay till after hours so we could all drink and hang out. I saw a couple of girls flirting with him, and it looked like he was flirting back, but then I'd come back and he'd be back with his boys. So I dunno...
At one point, I saw him writing something down on a piece of paper, which I could only assume, was his phone number which he was going to give to one of those girls, but I never caught him in the act. Lol, am I a total stalker or what!? I just really don't wanna miss my chance, ya know?? So he stayed till after we closed, and I was closing out credit cards. And by the time I'd finished, he was gone. ((sigh)) My hopes were dashed, yet again.
I checked my voicemail again while we were counting tips. Vette Guy called again!! That's twice in one day! Two more times than he's tried to contact me in like...the last three months! What could he possibly want?! I'm still not going to call him back.
Anyways... I'm SO clueless as to how to go about this Gavin situtation.! I don't even know if he's still remotely interested in me! There's still tonight though, so we'll see... He'll be working till close, and so will I, and most likely, drinking will ensue.
Wish me luck!!

Hope Is Dangerous
So last night, Evan and I went up to my work to visit Alyssa and sit in her section. I ended up staying longer than I'd planned, and drinking more than I'd planned. Haha! Frank met us up there too, and Mark was managing, so we all hung out for most of the night. Apparently, Mark used to belong to this traveling hip-hop dance group, and he knows all the choreographed dances to every Michael Jackson video ever! He refuses to dance for people, but he busted a couple moves last night, and all I have to say is: HOT.
I looooove a guy who can dance! SO sexy. Too bad he has a girlfriend. Haha...
Anyways, as I was checking my schedule, I couldn't help but notice that Gavin is working Thursday-Saturday. Which is good, cuz I'll be working Friday and Saturday, but bad because I won't get to see him till then, and I'm getting impatient!! I'm afraid he's going to totally lose interest if I don't get a move on. ((Sigh))
So last night was fun, I'm glad Alyssa's working there now. I'm going to suck her into the fold. Hahaha! We're supposed to meet for dinner tonight @ 8...I should probably get going actually.
This Thursday should be exciting. That new bar is opening and a buncha people are going. Melissa and her sister, Eric The Skeaze (I know...don't ask.), Frank and a bunch of people from work, Jenna, and possibly Alyssa. So I'm excited! And I'm sure I'll make a stop over at work to say hi to Gavin. ;)

An inspirational message from your friends at Yoplait, fruit on the bottom, hope on top. "

Time Heals All Wounds...Physical and Otherwise
Apparently some of you are now passing judgement on me about the painkillers. And let me just say, until you've been in an abusive relationship, you have no room to talk. I'm not a pill-popper, or a druggie.
I'm 23 years old, I'm single, and I don't owe anything to anyone. I'm trying to enjoy the young years of my life while I can, and for the most part, I'm doing it responsibly. I know what happens when you mix painkillers and alcohol. That's why I only took half of one. And it was a vicoprofen, NOT a vicodin. So it's not as potent. We all have our own ways of dealing with depression and/or anxiety. Not to say that my ways of dealing are the best, but hey...if you don't like me, DON'T READ MY FUCKING BLOG AND KEEP YOUR RUDE ASS COMMENTS TO YOURSELF.
((huff))
Now I got THAT off my chest...my ankle is healing...slowly. Haha. I've been layin low and keeping ice on it. Alyssa is finally back from Cali and she's starting her new job today at none other than...MY BAR!! I got her a job cocktailing right before she left. So I'm really glad she'll be there to give me her expert opinion on the 2 dudes I'm currently crushing on. Haha.
Frank called me yesterday to make sure I was "still alive". He really is a sweetheart! I would never date him though, he's totally not my type. He's more like a...big brother type figure, if ya know what I mean. But I ended up talking to him on the phone for like an hour. He reassured me, that while I may be trying to block out the memories of Monday night, it really wasn't that bad, and I didn't make a scene. "You're one of us now!" he said. Haha... He just moved into a new apartment, and DUN DUN DUN!!! he needs a roommate! He's doing some work on it right now, but says it'll be ready in a couple months. Which would be PERFECT! I was thinking to myself I'd much rather live with a guy than a girl. All my girl roommates in the past have been unbearable. And guys are so much less drama! So hopefully in a couple of months, I'll have a little cash saved and I can move out, finally.
Also, I talked to May yesterday. She called and I figured it had been about a week, so I'd answer.
"Finally!" she said, "You can stop being mad at me now Peyton! You're my friend no matter what, so you're stuck with me!"
To which I replied, "Well stop being so flaky and I'll keep being your friend! I hope you learned your lesson!"
She assured me, she has learned her lesson. Apparently she had a complete meltdown the other day, resulting in a moment of clarity, during which she discovered she had completely lost touch with reality while dating her ex. Got behind in school, finances, work, friends, etc... So she's trying to get back on her feet now. Good for her I say!! I'm glad she's back.
Well, I'm working tomorrow at 10. I really hope I'm back on my feet by then, or else I'm screwed!!
Melissa and I are supposed to hang out Friday night, sans guys! Now that we're both rid of Mitchell and The Model. Haha! We've really bonded over that experience! Ugh...

All The World Needs Is Another Asshole...
Well...let's see...where to begin?
Last night was...I guess you could say fun. While I was getting ready to go out, I swear I almost had an anxiety attack thinking about The Model, and what was gonna happen. So I whipped out my good ole' pain killers from when I got my teeth pulled and popped half a vicoprofin. Then I made myself a vodka water, and then I left! By the time I got to The Model's house, I was feeling really happy, and looking forward to the night.
The first bad sign was when he suggested we take 2 cars. Umm...ok??
So Mitchell rode with me, and The Model and Mitchell's brother took The Model's Benz. Somehow, my cousin Jenna managed to get into the party before we'd even gotten there, which turned out to be a really good thing. The Model was acting like a complete douche bag the entire time. First I noticed he wasn't being his usual happy-go-lucky self. He seemed like he was kinda in a bad mood. When we first got there, Gavin, who was working the door, gave me a hug and said, "What's up man?" to The Model, and he goes, "How does that guy know me?? He freakin should cuz I dropped like $1100 in here Saturday night..."
Ok...WTF!?
THEN, to my horror, he proceeded to repeatedly talk about this chick's ass and how nice it was.
But even though all this was going on, the alcohol was flowing, and I was feelin' good, taking shots, and drinking mojitos. Before long, I was totally trashed! And not just your normal trashed, cuz I can usually handle my liquor. But because I took that pain killer, I was pretty crazy.
So I'm goofin' off, having a good time, not paying too much attention to The Model. Then, I can't remember WHY, I just grabbed him, kinda like that stupid blonde did the other night, and went to kiss him. Not a sexy kiss, or a make out kiss, not even a flirty kiss! Just a friendly, drunken peck on the lips. And he TURNED AWAY.
Again...wtf. Way to make me look like an idiot.
So Jenna and I made a break for the bathroom where she totally flipped out on me about what an asshole The Model was being. And I couldn't help but agree. So I stopped talking to him after that, and went outside to chat with Gavin.
He didn't seem too happy to be working. Poor guy.
Then I went back inside to tip the bartenders, since the alcohol was FREE, and in my drunken stupor, I motion for The Albanian to come hither, grab HIM and plant one on him! Which wouldn't have been so bad, except that after that I knocked over a drink that was sitting on the bar and broke the glass.
I AM SUCH AN IDIOT!!!!
And it gets worse.
AFTER I did that, I twisted my ankle in my supercute high heels. I mean like seriously sprained my ankle. I think I tore a ligament or something! And Frank (one of my coworkers) had to CARRY me outside! He's such a sweetheart for doing that, but I know I'm never gonna hear the end of it! ((sigh)) Woe is me.
So The Model and his cousins had been talking about going back to The Model's house to watch Nacho Libre, which I've never seen. So I called him, from the parking lot, to ask what the plan was. And The Model actually had the audacity to tell me he didn't think it was a good idea that I come because I had "different intentions" than he did.
WTF #3.
I was so mad, I quickly got off the phone with him and sent him a text that said, "Ok i'm sorry you think i'm like...in love with you or something...i just wanted to wach a movie with you guys. That's all. And i'm drunk and think you're a cool guy. The end."
His response: Then I'm sorry about the misunderstanding.
My response: whatever...
Haven't heard from him since.
And he and his cousins literally ditched me afterwards! And I was clearly in no shape to drive. So Jenna took me home with her, and we passed out there. She drove me back to my car this morning. I so love Jenna. I dunno what I'd do without her! She makes me laugh at the shittiness that is my life. ((sigh))
I'm seriously done with The Model. I thought if we weren't anything else, at least we were friends, but apparently, I was wrong. So fuck him.
I'm done with assholes! I'm done with douche bags! And I'm done with models!!!
((huff!!))
