No, I'm sorry. First of all, this isn't a rant about work. This is a rant...about a GREAT WEEKEND!
I know there are other places to post @#%$ like this, but since so many of my rants are the basis for the history of this one, it HAS to be posted here!
Remember my friend, Soandso? Yeah...you remember him. Well, anyway, we decided to bury the hatchet. He decided that he owed me one, and wanted to make it up to me. This meant him being the icebreaker and using me as the "shy friend" to pick up a group of women. We had our other friend, whom I shall refer to as Thatguy.
Anyway, a little history about the not-so-much-of-a-rant...
When I first went through my tragic break up, I was entering the dating scene for the first time in 4 years. You would not BELIEVE how un-smooth you can become in 4 years of engagement. Anyway, my friends (yep, same two) took me to a place called the Skyy Bar. While in there I had a beer and was browsing all of these women who I had no idea what to say to, when all of a sudden, out on the dance floor, there she was...
There was this little blonde haired, blue eyed, beauty dancing her heart out. She stood out for some reason. See...I'm a shy person. It takes...something...I don't know exactly what it is, but it has to be there for me to come out of my shell to talk to a girl. Well...Soandso sees me looking and trying to think of a way to talk to her. Well...this smart ass goes up to her and uses the old, "My friend REALLY wants to dance with you, but he's a gutless coward" line. She waves me over. We danced all night and hung out...and then I saw the ring.
@#%$ me running...did Superman crush that @#%$ thing in his fist?
*sighs* The good ones are always engaged...
Anyway, we danced together still (God, she was hot) and my friends danced with her friends. Then we called it a night. That was about...6 months ago...maybe more.
Anyway, we're out at the same place this last Saturday, and I decide I'm going to drink myself stupid. Liquid courage! WOOHOO!
My friend Soandso goes working the crowd to find his "apology" to me. Anyway, I'm standing with Thatguy and almost beyond the point of being able to stand up, when there is a touch on my arm.
There stands this gorgeous girl. "Do you remember me?" she asks.
OMFG...it's her. "Oh my God! Yeah, I danced with you a looong time ago!"
"You remember me!" She smiles and motions to her friend. "Do you remember Crystal?"
"Yes I do!" Well...@#%$...that makes ONE of your names that I know. HAHA! Idea!
"This is Thatguy!" I say, pointing to my friend.
"Yeah, I know. Hi, Thatguy, just in case you don't remember me, I'm Shanna."
Damn, I'm good.
So we talk for awhile, and then out from my mouth comes, "You know, I saw you on the dance floor and just couldn't keep my eyes off of you. Too bad you're engaged. Hey! Did you get married yet?"
"No, we broke up." *insert angelic orchestral music here as a beam of sunlight shines down upon Kaielen*
"Wow, you were both engaged, though!" I say pointing to her friend, Crystal.
"No, we both broke it off." says Crystal, which snapped Thatguy's head right up to attention.
"Well...then your phone number isn't completely unattainable?"
"Got a pen?"
So, after getting hers and Crystal's number, we all go to dance, and once I'm out on the dance floor, I see Soandso with three ugly chicks in tow to meet us.
Karma is a beautiful thing.
