Did NOT have the lobster, incidentally

Did not even have the tuna salad, Ben Warsaw never showed up that Thursday, nor any day since. Going to Las Vegas in January to meet up with some of the Loungers, maybe THEN I'll have the whole buffet. Well, last night the gang was out and had been missing me terribly. I went out after midnight, didn't want open bar or even to drink too much, wanted White Russians. And got them. Anyway, the consensus was the cute guy wandering around should be talked to. He wasn't gonna talk to any of us, so I did. Asked if he was in the Army and of course I was right. Nice to hear a Southern accent again. Proud of myself, I never talk to anyone first. Strange thing happened after an hour, though, which I still can't figure out how to describe even after having a dream about it and getting dream-advice from my sister-in-law. Hm. How's a guy in town for the weekend gonna meet a single chick if he doesn't talk first, submissive or not?
In real life, my sister-in-law is sending me some cool dolls I had always wanted as a child and still want, instead of throwing them out.

Went on a double date, kinda

Got picked up, got the other 2 people, wlent to Mex, and with a crowd like that it's tedious to stay in one place so after 2 margaritas it was off to Richard Kaza's new bar Club 289. For the Top 40 set, if Top 40 is as I suspect Gorillaz, Jennifer Lopez, Justin Timberlake etc. At Mex there were 3 or so familiar faces, at 289 it was like being in a different city. No one I or anyone wanted to know so out into the cold again to, what, O'Callahan's? I could look it up but don't feel like it. Plastic cups but strong drinks. Realized I wasn't having as good a time as I wanted to be having, I hate that. No, really, some people love to be miserable but I didn't want to that night. The conversation turned sad toward the end. Hm. Nice to be taken out once in awhile, though, no doubt about that. ;)
