friday night… i had a drinks “date”… last year was when this whole thing started with this guy… he’s in a band and shares space with  my co-worker will, so will was the go-between guy for a while until i got his number… but he went off to record, i just assumed it wasn’t in my best interest so i put it off for a while, and then i lost his phone number my my iphone got stuck in recovery and i lost all of my contacts… he always just floated around in the back of my mind, so i figured why not? i’m not over-thinking things – not hoping for anything… not even sure i’m interested in anything especially seeing as what just went down with manny… just thought i’d regret it if i never did, so i did. and it went wayyyy better than expected…

i took him to holiday cocktail lounge, and he was glad that i chose that spot… he said he’d never been in there before… i told him why sophie and i started going and whatever he thought it was cool, we shot the shit for a bit… i wasn’t nervous at all and we seemed to hit it off… lots of laughing, convo was never awkward or silent and we were really comfortable with each other being touchy… (just while we were talking – on legs, arms, hands?) – he was really sweet and didn’t try to make a move on me, he just hugged me and asked me out to a movie this week. now let’s just see if he pulls through. that would be rather rad.

saturday i hung out with my love jes all day<3  and i ended up going out with her at night time…  we went to some sport’s bar in astoria (that sucked) for her friends birthday and i wound up bumping into this kid brian i used to work with at the video store…  who i would have LOVED to avoid for the rest of my days, but he insisted on coming up to me with a sarcastic “are you gonna say hi, or what”, so whatever.

(more…)

i finally got to see sophie tonight. it is very strange, i haven’t seen her more than thrice this entire summer. it was good to reconnect. we revived our holiday cocktail lounge tradition tonight… hopefully it’ll be every other week again. good times.

good talks/laughs, got wasted by 8PM, walked around… turns out while going through the jukebox to play our traditional set that the owner in fact listened to me and sophie about the bouncing souls making a song out of the joint and he put the self-titled album in the jukebox! whaaaaaaaaat! (awesome!) i left a comment with a picture of it on their myspace about it, hope they see it<3

memorial day weekend…  who cares? just another 3 day weekend with assholes clogging up highways, places to go, etc.  – it always reminds me of my dad because i went up to boston the first memorial day weekend after i met him. (anddddddd then his psychotic girlfriend who didn’t believe i was really his beat me up!)  – blah.  things to do, things to do…

eric is in town and i wanted to steal a drink with him while he was here…  wanna try to fit that in.  i’m going to queens today – mom/erica time – sunday shonen is having his big bbq where all of my friends will be – gonna try to go to that but i’m supposed to hang out with ilya tonight ,which means i’d have to be back in brooklyn, which i wanted to do anyways – i didn’t want to sleep at my mom’s house – mannnn commuting takes up so much time – i gotta manage my time better…

blah blah blah.

so new stuff this week? i found another friend in brooklyn! i met ilya on friendster years ago…  i only met him one time in real life but we talked online for a long time and then lost touch…  so i was browsing through people on myspace (yes, i’m a loser that does that from time to time) and was looking to see if there were actually people in this “midwood” neighborhood that were around my age and found him :)  weird! it’s been like 6 or 7 years since i last talked to him…  we hung out at his apartment with his friends last night, it was fun… watched some aqua team hunger force and just chilled out til frankie called locked out of the apartment…  (cuddle blocker!)

wednesday sophie and i met up with greenwood for a holiday cocktail lounge excursion…  played the bouncing souls song titled for the bar for the guy who runs the joint, he loved it.  says he’s gonna put the self titled album in the juke box, OH yeah. (my inspiration)

tuesday lyrics boy and i attempted to see green day at webster hall, we didn’t get in.  instead, we stood outside cold and hungry for a while.  boo that. either way, NEXT.

andddddddd that’s about it.

so this is what happened all day…

(more…)

i dunno, maybe the 4 leaf clover on my wrist is bringing me luck…

holiday cocktail lounge was fun on friday!  hung out with greenwood and sophs<3  went to his apartment on st. mark’s – so cute!  it’s lovely!

(more…)

holiday cocktail lounge on friday was fast and furious, since we needed to be somewhere else later on…  we get there so early and get sloshed by like 8PM – it’s the worst.  so we decided since sophie had her work key, we’d go to her office to nap…

…little did we realize the elevator was locked as well as the staircase doors to get onto the floors…  worst.  so we hung out in the staircase for a few and then decided to move ourselves to a local bar for a $10 pitcher of bud light before the events of the evening started…

decided i wasn’t going to bother with the male species at all, until some suit that worked for AMEX wound up chatting with us…  someone put suicide machines on the jukebox at the bar and all three of us were like ???  whoa!  and YES! and he was impressed i knew who they were – me and soph were like, this is our scene…

(more…)

wonder why you were stuck in my subconscious last night.  i’ve never even looked at you in that way, but those piercing eyes were so intense last night…  woof.  and i don’t even like blue eyes, weird…. and so hot.

when we went to the souls at cha cha’s in coney two years ago, we were all pre-gaming at this bar down the boardwalk and i was sitting with missy and steve…  it was raining that day, gloomy, chilly…  it was august i think.  anyways, i was talking to missy who was on my left and i looked down the bar towards the front of the place and bryan walks over in this ridiculously ugly, dark green poncho and was staring into the place.  i guess maybe he was looking for someone…  so after like 2/3 minutes i gave him this big dumb grin from ear to ear and he smiled back big and walked away. missy and steve laughed at me, i must have looked so dumb.

blah blah blah.

so on friday: me and sophs did the holiday cocktail lounge again, we found out the owner died two weeks ago.  sad!

the guy who’s running the place now has redone it a little, at least he’s keeping it open.  it’s cute, they’ve got wings now and he gets excited everytime someone orders them…  they were eh.  no down the hatch wings, but good enough for bar food.  so we did that and then went over to bell blvd for her friend olivia’s birthday gathering…  which i was worried about because she’s friends with people i don’t really associate with, but they wound up not going…  so it was cool.

ran into a few friends i haven’t seen in a while…  there were three of us with matching souls broken heart tattoo’s, it was cute to see them all together.  didn’t get drunk.  i don’t know how i didn’t get wasted,  i was drinking from 7PM til 3AM, but i love it.  i had a nice, long, unsloppy buzz.

(more…)

so this sucks…  (click the link below to read what i mean)
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! say it aint so!!!

i stood outside waiting for about 15 mins waiting for soph to swing through, and no one ever showed up to open up shop.

we started going because the bouncing souls wrote a song about the joint.  but that romantic tribute faded fast, it just became our spot with oldies and born to run, HOOKED UP DRINKS, getting drunk for like $20 by 9 PM on fridays, romantic arm around sophs on the electrical taped up seats and christmas lights…

i hope the angry old man is okay.<3
i think he hated me.  i appreciated every strong drink he poured me.
especially the amstel on ice, lol.

guess only time will tell.

…2008…

the only thing i really dislike about this year was part of the summer and my birthday.
and that which followed from my actions on my birthday. (sorry homie, i love you.)
oct/nov were kind of hard but i bounced back in decemeber.

best?
my new job $$$, my new tattoos, making new friends, going to mexico with m5, all the shows i went to,
me and m5 hanging out all the time, dunkin donuts was built on my corner (lol), intoxicated nights, the last of the mets games at shea, holiday cocktail lounge… tons of other stuff<3

my goals for 2009?
moving out, having fun, learning more for/through work and filtering out useless people and things.
and getting rid of the red base my hair has had to endure in 2008.

how the hell did this song get stuck in my head?

it won’t leave!  it got stuck in there when i walked across front street tonight at 6PM – WTF?

i can’t wait til tomorrow.  hopefully i can break the spell…  holiday cocktail lounge/north flushing styles.
maybe i’ll dress nicely tomorrow – it’s also our xmas lunch @ work…  skirt styles?
…if only i had some knit tights, and boots.

my week?
wound up going for a fish themed night in the snow…
got mocked.
got teased.
got criticized.
got twisted & twisted.
got my hair cut.
coded a lot.
always frozen.

i hate blogging, lol.
good riddance, tonight.
