It started out that we were going to go to this buck and doe so that she could see this guy that she wants. When I got to her place though, she decided that she didn't want to go, so we stood around her kitchen with her roomates and drank a drink before going to Mo's.
Then we went to the bar, and it was quiet. Which was fine, it usually picks up as the night progresses. Saw some of the usual suspects....
At some point she gets a call from "R" (I can't remember if I've used his name before, and I really don't feel like going back through old entries to find out), who is, if you remember, the guy I met before going up to Ottawa for the summer. He was the one that was kinda goofy and I was slightly interested in. But then, you might also remember, we went on a date, and I never heard from him again. *shakes head*.
So apparently Ange tells him that I'm at the bar, and he should come out and say hi to me and apologize for everything. So he does. It's too bad about before though, because I am just not interested now. The magic of that situation has worn off. His excuse for not calling me? "You lived far away and I'm not good with emailing and stuff. I didn't want to get involved long distance" My response? "Dude, I wasn't looking for a relationship. You could have at least phoned me." So then he proceeds to try to make up for 3 months of being a dumbass. It was kinda annoying though, he's trying soooo hard to be attentive, but it was smothering and I found myself trying to keep my distance.
What else happens? I got into a heart to heart style convo with the new girlfriend of an old boyfriend. Which was fine, I know her from way back and it was good to chat... And she let me in on some info that has caused my brain to go into overload since last night, but thats fine, thats what my brain does.
In actuality, this last event was rather important, but I'm not going to go into details about it. Though I do have to point this fact out. She asked me what a doppelganger was and I started laughing as it was in reference to a recent Facebook status name... and I said "it's like an evil twin"... and then today I looked up the definition of the word on wikipedia and it gave me this:
The doppelgängers of folklore cast no shadow, and have no reflection in a mirror or in water. They are supposed to provide advice to the person they shadow, but this advice can be misleading or malicious. They can also, in rare instances, plant ideas in their victim's mind or appear before friends and relatives, causing confusion. In many cases once someone has viewed his own doppelgänger he is doomed to be haunted by images of his ghostly counterpart.
Which caused me to laugh because though it's taken in the wrong context, it still is amazingly accurate. I am haunted by my doppelganger. Anyway......back to my story...
So after the bar shut down and my heart to heart was brought to an end I went out in the parking lot (half trying to avoid R because we know I'd rather run away from my problems than deal directly with the) and this woman comes up to me, threatening me and telling me I "better not fuck with so-and-so" and she's all up in my face, except she's shorter than me and I'm not really sure what to do because I'm not an aggressive person... so I just kinda stared at her and hoped that she's go away. Eventually someone pulled her away and tried to calm her down... and I hadn't done anything. I started walking away, and what happens? She comes up behind me and is going off again!! It was so weird. They pulled her away again and I just kinda booked it to my car without saying much, because what was there to say?
I told Ange I'd drive her back to her house, and I was originally going to stay at her house, but then she decided to invite this guy back and if I wasn't going to be able to sleep safely in her room, I wasn't about to want to sleep on her couch for fear that her roomie was going to hit on me, because he's kinda annoying and I just was not interested in fighting him off. As I was leaving to take her home, R says he wants to go for coffee or something, and I figured that I should probably have a coffee before driving back home at what would be close to 4am. After I dropped her off I went back to the bar and picked R up because I can't just say no. So we sat at Tim Horton's and had awkward conversation and I had nothing to say, because frankly I gave up being interested a while ago. I gave him a ride home and then continued on to my house. In the misty rainy dark, without my glasses on because brilliant me didn't put them on before leaving in the first place.
And, of course, I got home and decided it would be a great idea to email a certain someone. And send it. I have to stop doing that because it's just tacky. And if I can't say these things when I'm sober and thinking properly, then I shouldn't say them when alcohol has been involved. (I'm loving the word involved lately... it's the word du jour)...
Then, to top all of this off, I didn't go to bed til at least 4 am... And then proceeded to wake up at 7:30. Wide awake, half an hour before my alarm was due to go off. That just annoyed me.
My whole night was under the premise of "I'm going out, but I'm going to behave myself" and I did, behave myself that is... but yet all this drama surrounds my life. I wonder if you can get lung fish (inside joke) for your life. Don't worry, I don't actually want to drink lung fish.
