Damn Holidays

I went home for the weekend before Christmas. That was four days of family time.

So for some reason, since I've returned I have been acting out. I have decided to just go with it until the 2nd, even though my body may be paying the price. Oh yeah, my work may be suffering too, but who cares about that.

Clearly, the highlite of everyone's holidays is New Years Eve. Frankly, i hate planning out a NYE event. After debating several different bar events, we decided to go to a a party being put on by a friend of one of my friends. She said that the guys hosting the party were also going out the Wednesday and I should go and meet them to make sure that I didn't think they were complete douches. So we did. We drank quite a bit. Then some random guy tried to challenge 7 guys to a fight for the right to talk to the one girl in our group who already told him she was not interested. So we just had him kicked out. I am an amazing fighter (i think my exact words were, "fuck this, i'm getting the bouncer.").

Regardless, after an hour more we move over a bar (passing the guy who was now being sat on by a bouncer). I start talking to a waitress and filling her in on what exactly happened. After several more drinks, she gives me a ride home. I invite her up and we have some fun.

Later I find out that one of the guys hosting the party has been trying to get her for awhile. However, this apparently makes me hilarious to the other guys. That and the whole guy trying to fight everyone. So tonight, I am fearful that a) one of the host people will be mad at me, and b) (probably more important) that the guys will expect me to continue the amount of entertainment I gave them in the middle of the week.

Oh yeah, that was the first time i ever did a drunken one night stand. I'll decide later if i will make them more common.

Random Update

Been busy lately.

Gone on a couple dates, some better than others. Nothing to exciting to report yet. I have basically redesigned my dating strategy to focus on getting me to the restaurants i want to try in the city. A little selfish, yes. But whatever, I pretty much pay for every meal, so I may as well go where i want to go.

This saturday a waitress at the bar i was at was flirting with me. I can still not cross the line of hitting on girls who are on the clock. It's not that i thought she was flirting to get a better tip (noone at my table bought a single beer from her, i don't think she was even in charge of our table), it is just rude on some level to me. Maybe i am wrong. If i get desperate, i will probably change my mind on the issue.

In more fun news, i got a good review and raise at work. Impressive seeing as I screw around way too much at work. Regardless, my boss forgot to put the raise in the first paycheck after it took affect. I had to awkwardly remind him. He said he would take care of it. So today when he gave me the 2nd check, he said he would add the difference to my Christmas bonus. So i am getting a bonus, i had no idea. Small firms are very hit or miss on that type of thing. The other part is that his math was a little off on the amount difference, but i don't know if i'm going to correct him. Small error in my favor... I'll have to sleep on it.

EDIT: spellcheck

I Give Up

Ok, i quit.

After a year of your trying, I will now allow it. It is no longer worth my effort. From the constant knocking at all hours to the efforts I have had to do to maintain proper levels in my life, it is no longer worth it. I will open the door.

I am letting my cat back into my bedroom. She is ecstatic and napping on my bed.

I am just hoping this lets me control the temperature/humidity in the bedroom enough to be ok with the amount of cat hair that is now going to be in there.
