So LL had a birthday yesterday. Crak told me I should come out for it...seeing as she, the Candyman, and Prettybird didn't really want to go in the first place. I said I'd go because I just want to be out. I am having a lot of fun being out. I was on the phone with KDP & told her to come, too, since we'd be in her neck of the woods & she is off for the holiday weekend.
The original plan was LL would be at Paddy McGee's at 5:30 "until whenever". Candyman wanted to go to The Inn instead beauce the highschool heartthrob hangs out there. I got a call from Crak at 6:30 telling me that there was now a 'dinner plan' for 7:30 and was anyone getting dinner there, too. Crak wanted to know when dinner was even a part of the plan. I wouldn't know because I was an invite of Crak's...not LL's. LL knew that Crak and Candyman would not be there until 9 so why dinner? (sidenote--Prettybird didn't show.)
We got to Paddy's at 9. We said our 'hellos' and sat at the (almost deserted) bar. LL came over to the bar after dinner and stayed for twenty minutes. She had been given many birthday drinks and had to go to work the next day so.............
The Blonde was there for dinner & came over to hang at the bar as well. LL left and there were now 5 of us wanting to go out & do something.
We drove to Long Beach & passed The Inn to see if there was anything going on. Wanna know whose out on a Wednesday? Apparently just us. Darn. The Inn was not full. So we drove down a bit further to Minnesotas. The 5 of us went in and the place was somewhat busy. But, their bar's baseball team had played a game and they were hanging out there. As well, there were both Mets & Yankees games on so many men watching the screens.
The men we had situated ourselves around turned out to be married. Hmmm....no good. I went to the ladies room and when I came back, the ladies had moved to the other side of the bar. With that, Candyman decided she'd infiltrate the two guys that were there by asking if a barstool was taken. Score! She just got two guys in to the circle. The two guys were nice. The Irishman was so funny but he had taken up to chatting with the Blonde, Crak, and Candyman. That left his good-looking but extremely dumb friend to talk to KDP and me.
Out of nowhere, the good-looking dumb boy tells us that he's his friend's wingman. Ummm.....doesn't that mean that the friend is interested in one of the other three and you are here entertaining the leftovers to help him out? In the meantime, I thought we were the wingmen so that the Blonde could work on the Irishman. So I said to the good-looking dumb boy "First of all, never tell the women you are speaking with that you are the wingman. That makes them feel like the ugly step sisters. And, how do you know that we (KDP & me) aren't the wingmen for one of the otehr 3 to chat with your friend?" He didn't really understand that concept. And, I realy thought the Blonde was afer the Irishman. She & I have the same taste and I wanted him too, but she took a HUGE hit for me last week so this was no biggie.
Anyway, I digress. After a lot of pointless talking, the two groups reunite & the ladies ask me if I was going to make out with the dumb boy. I said I thought the Blonde was trying to make out with the Irishman. He said "Well somebody better be swapping some spit tonight". We decided to 'lock it up' and call it a night. No numbers. No make outs. No men. Nothing. However, this was only Wednesday and maybe a good warm-up session for Friday.
I got in at 2 and collapsed. Oh so tired but happier than I've been in awhile.
**Wingmen: keep in mind that the ONLY person(s) who should know that you are the wingman is the person for whom you are playing wingman !
