Starting From Scratch

I had an interesting weekend...nothing too crazy, but still interesting. I had no intentions of going out this weekend but I just cant say no. Both nights, I was asked if I wanted to go out and I of course had to go out both nights.

I guess the weekend starts with Thursday night unexpectedly. I got a few drunk calls from my neighbor who was trying to get a ride because as I later found out she was throwing up in the bathroom of a bar after just 4 drinks. I didnt have my car, so one of her coworkers cabbed her back and I was put in charge of making sure she didnt die. It was an entertaining evening that started with her asking if I wanted to see her shake her vomit which involved her gyrating and shaking a bag of vomit that was given to her at the bar. We of course ended up talking about ex's and she said something like " he was a really nice and we got along really well, but he just wasnt my life partner" and that actually freaked me out to hear a quote that could have easily come from my ex. Dont worry, I am over Dena, it was just kind of weird to hear her say what she said.

Friday night deals with the title. I really hit rock bottom that night in terms of confidence. I usually have problems being social with girls I dont know, but I took it to another level that night. I think I went into the night thinking it would be a normal night out with the guys, even though I had never been out with this group before. Unfortunately for me, a couple of the guys were fearless. Seeing guys actually go up to girls over and over really brought my confidence down early on. I think I hit the bottom at the point in the night when this fairly attractive girl smiled at me and then came over and attempted to dance with me but I cowered and somehow rejected her. Its one thing to not go after girls, but to blow it when one falls in your lap means it time to start from scratch. Fortunately outside of being socially awkward I ended up having a good time that night. One of the guys I went out with, had an extensive knowledge of Katt Williams which led to multiple impersonations of this bit.

The rest of the weekend was good. I had a day off and actually stayed in town for once. The day culminated with some grilling out back on a fairly chilly day with my neighbor and two of the roommates.

I commend you for your social failure Allen - Keep up the good work.

Next time, try pounding at least 3 Sparks before you go out. Although it will not help to attract females, it'll make the rejections much more entertaining.
