Things happen
Ok, once again its catch up time. God I wish I was much better at journaling every day. Truth is Ive felt a bit lost in my search for my hearts desires. Although I want to try and persue a career in photography, Im not looking at everything and saying to myself "its a lot of work. Do you want it bad enough?". I havent had an answer yet.
So I mentioned a bit about the weekend and how for some odd reason Ive apparently become hot. I have really hot guys stop after they pass, turn around, and walk back just to say hi to me. I have met a ton of new people, and perhaps some will become useful in my future.
So Saturday: Happy hour at Detour. It was quiet there which I kind of liked for a change. I met the bartender Brian and got a chance to talk to him enough so that he now remembers me and says hi when Im out lol. Most of the time, if its a busy bar, its hard to remember "people" so I was happy to get the chance to meet him and get drunk in his presence.
I spent the afternoon hanging out with my friend Jay, and a guy Ive chatted with online who is here from Boston. We hung out at the window at Detour making fun of people as they walked down Market. Actually he made fun of them and I said hi to most people walking past. Im the friendly one ya know :)
Sunday was a great day as well. Hung out with my friend Rick early in the afternoon walking around Castro, then headed to the mission where I found a great pair of sunglasses for $5. We came back to Castro, dragged Steve out for lunch, and the 3 of us headed over to beer bust at the Eagle. Met Jay there and a couple of other people I knew (Im actually getting to know people YAY!).
It was a fun afternoon. I actually paced myself so I could go back and finish off the drinking in the Castro. We went to Edge and the Daddys where I ran into a couple of guys I had met previously along with another really cute guy named Geoff. I did my famous "make out at the bar" routine with him, and exchanged phone numbers. It was great to hang out with Steve for a change and from what I know, he had a pretty good time as well.
So Monday came, and I was excited. A day without alcohol, and off to get tickets to the movies that evening. They had Gene Wilder in person from 5:30-7, and were playing back to back on the big screen Willie Wonka & Young Frankenstein. Steve and I were both pretty excited about it so I ventured the buses and headed down and bought tickets.
My first time in that area (at least that I know of). I was surprised to find I actually liked the neighborhood. I found a great little coffee shop which I had a tuna sandwhich and it was the best tuna sandwhich Ive ever had. I couldnt help but to think how much Josh would have enjoyed it there.
So home, nap, and getting ready for the evening. Jason called and we are going to try and plan his visit for pride in June. Im so excited. Visitors to show SF to. My sister will be hopefully coming at the end of July for Dore Alley Fair.
So here's the downer, and Im not sure if Im sorry I missed the movies, or if I feel even worse for Steve but their systems started having problems and he got stuck at work. No Gene Wilder for him and without being able to find a replacement, I just axed the idea. Im not one for going alone. Poor Steve never made it home until around 11pm :(
For some reason I was really ok with not going. I got a call from my friend Kevin (you may remember him from previous entries. He and his bf moved out here a few years ago). He wanted to know if I wanted to meet him for a drink. My first reaction was "Ive been drinking for the past week or so and not sure if I can handle much more". The lush in me quickly said "you havent had a chance to hang out with him since you've been here, just go". So I met him at The Mixx and had a few drinks. It was kind of nice talking about people we both knew and he introduced me to some great people.
One of which may in time become a possible job opportunity for me. I met a guy who was recently laid off and looking to start a billing and coding company of his own. Things for him right now are only at the beginning stages, but it sounded like it had potential. Since he isnt really looking right now for an employee (but will in the next few months) and I dont want to look for a job right now but in a few months, it may work out well. So I emailed him my resume and will see what happens.
I left the Mixx around 7:30 and as Kevin stopped to get cash from the ATM a few doors down, another really cute guy checked me out, stopped at the Mixx door, told his friends he'd be back, then walked all the way back to introduce himself to me. His name is Drew and he is again HOT!
So that was my weekend. A bit much to remember, a bit much to read, and a bit long to type. If you've made it this far, congratulations it almost over. Today, having lunch with a friend Ive chatted with for a while but havent had the chance to meet. YAY!!! Ill get my financial aid stuff done (hopefully), my 599 for unemployment to see if they approve school (hopefully), and look for jobs and see what happens. Im hoping things will fall into place soon.
Success! The End!
