07:24 AM - Has the World Changed or have I Changed
|
|
Last Friday had me brimming with an energy that couldn’t be named. I just knew I had to get out of the winter norm I had settled into. My horoscope was all about meeting people and finding a love interest. Though it sounded good past experience had shown me my horoscope was all talk. The whole eve had a surrealist feel about it that even Dali would appreciate. I felt I was in the passenger seat of this earth vehicle I normally drive but that night it was all up to the cosmos. I suppose the beer and fine lines may have had something to do with it as well.
The night started off by meeting BB for a north end night of Bingo. I actually won and had to ask BB when I should call Bingo. After that we stumbled into the adjacent bar and continued to party while listening and participating in bad karaoke; Steppin’ Stone, Tainted Love and Toxic were my singing choices BB bowed out of a duet with me. BB kept pushing me to follow some guys out to the patio and smoke with them. I don’t smoke but in my frame of mind I was up for anything. Standing there all nervous doing the best impression of a smoker I could, all those years studying human behavior paid off as I apparently looked quite natural at it.
My usual opening line for a north end night is to ask if they attended a high school close by. So after chatting this guy-NK up BB comes out and it turns out this guy grew up 3 blocks from him and knows his whole family. As I stood there getting dizzy as hell from the cigarette NK’s friend comes out and he happens to brush up against my chest, easy to do when it sticks out as far as it does. So we chat up for a while and I end up sharing my party favors with him. The night didn’t turn out quite as planned but I at least got some lip action out of it.
BB and I walk back to his house to finish our party favors but he’s fading fast so I hoof it to the gas station by his house to call a cab. It’s only about 1:30am but cabs are streaming by with people in them coming home from the bar. I was almost ready to start walking as I’m only about 20 blocks from home but I was really feeling the night by then. A cab pulls up and I thought thank god but there was a fella in it. When he got out I could see he had 3 cases of beer with him and I’m thinking “where the heck is he going to?” Well my question was soon answered. He comes out and starts chatting me up and I agreed to go with him to a party he was heading to. I know, I realized as soon as my ass hit the seat what a stupid thing I was doing and god only knew what would happen to me. To tell you the truth the only reason I got in was this crazy energy that was driving me all day and the fact that the fella was from Newfoundland. Us easterners have a trust for one another that I have not seen anywhere else across Canada.
The fella introduces himself as Fred and I willingly gave my real name as I figured he was too loaded to get Lucretia, heck the karaoke DJ couldn’t even say it right. So we get to our destination which wasn’t very far, not sure where Fred was coming from but his cab was $65.00. All of a sudden I’m getting extremely nervous as I don’t know what I’m getting into. We go into the house and I say Fred invited me and when Pam’s faced contorted weird I then found out Fred lied to me and his real name is Dave and he’s common law with Pam’s mom. Now I tease the hell out of Dave for lying to me the first time we meet. Pam then takes us to the basement where there are a bunch of young guys and another girl. Most of the group is playing pool on a smaller pool table. I also notice their party favors on the table so I thought so far so good. I chat up all the guys and am just the reg motor mouth I can be when hopped up and nervous. The other girl April scared me a little in the fact that she had such a butch job and I knew I didn’t want to mess with her.
About a half hour into this new scenario Dave’s phone rings and he screams at me that it’s for me. I’m thinking “what the f…”. Turns out it’s the cab driver that dropped us off and he was wondering if I was ok and if I needed to get out of there. Pretty friggin awesome of him I thought, I assured him I was fine.
I then went upstairs for another beer and this one guy that was kinda staring at me followed me up. He then made a comment about the size of my chest and one thing let to another. Unfortunately we were interrupted by April. She has me loaded down with beers for the group downstairs, once delivered I head to the washroom. Just as I was finishing up Chad walks in and we pick up where we left off. We then go around a corner and peep on his buddies, he then grabs my hand and takes me upstairs where we hang out and talk for a bit as some of the other fellas were upstairs by now. They leave and we pick up where we left off. Unfortunately he admits to too much consumption of party favors and heads to bed, sadly without me.
Just as I’m trying to figure out how I’m gonna find out where I am to get a cab home this other fella that chatted me up most of the night comes around the corner and lip locks me. At this point I’m thinking this is all a dream as this NEVER happens to me. I still shake my head wondering where my magnetism all of a sudden came from. Well one thing let to another and Jonathan and I finish up the night together. When I left his room the rest of the party was now upstairs playing Texas Hold’em. I managed to get the address and call a cab. Turns out Dave is also ready to leave so we go together. He lives on the way to my house about 5 blocks from where he had picked me up. He insisted that he pay for the cab to take me home which I thought was extremely nice of him, even though I insisted he didn’t have to. I get home at 8:25am.
So somehow that energy had me be someone I never thought I was or could be. Scary and titillating at the same time. I started out the night innocently thinking a reg north end night and somehow ended up an old cougar being preyed by young men. Starting with someone 11yr younger than I and worked my way down to someone 18yrs younger than I. Time will tell if it was a one night twilight zone deal or if my phone will ring by Friday. Here’s hoping the latter.
