Happy, umm, Monday?/Challenge Update!
Monday, April 10, 2006
Ok, so happy and Monday are not exactly good companions, but deal with it. It's Monday, you're not to supposed use your brain so hush and be veggie-like ok? Good slacker.
Anyway, so yeah the weekend went ok. Friday Big Mike and I took our friend D out for his birthday. We hit up Gasthof's and did a couple apfelshotz and a couple boots. Good times. Mike ended up making out with this chick who supposedly writes for Penthouse. He says he wanted nothing to do with her, but still made out with her for like 45 minutes. Sorry bud, don't believe ya.
Saturday was some pretty hardcore slacking with a little laundry mixed in. it was weekend two of The Great Laundering. I sorta hadn't really done any laundry except socks and boxers since oh, December. Took me three full months to empty my closet of clothes I actually want to wear. I clearly have too many clothes. I was actually able to sort the clothes into 9 full loads. None of this lights and darks stuff, no. This was divvied up by color. Two loads of blacks/grays, two loads of brown shades, a load of greens, a load of reds/maroons, a load of whites, a load of blues and a load of random lighter colors that was mostly yellows/golds. And these were large capacity load people.
Sunday I hung out with Conservative Girl for the first time since well, a long time ago. I decided I need get work through the TPOT thing and try to get back to being a decent friend. She showed me a picture of her and her Net Boy. He looks like a very typical Army grunt type. Still don't think it was a good idea to start "dating" a guy who's now in Iraq and well, possibly going to Iran. In her usual naive way she's extra hopeful about a relationship though.Though, this is the same girl that said "Well, I figure if we're not in love after year three, we'll just be friends." when we were dating so I guess waiting a year to see if there any real relationship there is small potatoes. But we did got the Minnesota Swarm game and they beat out San Jose in overtime. CG let out a sigh of relief when they won because it was her 4th game with me and they hadn't won any of the others. I had told her if they lost again she wasn't coming anymore, so yeah she was happy about that.
So yeah, that brings me to...
The Challenge Update!
So I started this Challenge as an experiment in blogginess that would hopefully result in me getting a date. Part of the challenge meant to entice you all you join was that I would travel far and wide to meet whoever succeeds in getting me said date. I now have the first official entrant in the challenge, and she hails from...?
Three blocks away.
Here I was thinking long road trip or possibly airfare, but no. This locale I can easily walk to/from even when lit-up on polish honey vodka. Yes, that has been tested. So I think if the third date is reached we maybe have to travel to some exotic place like, umm, Brainerd, to have that beverage under Paul Bunyan!
ANYWAY, yeah. Mistress of Charades calls last night when I was out with CG and the convo went something (I was, like, oh, three whiskeys into getting myself a damn good buzz on) like this:
Me: "Halloo?"
Miss C: "So I'm in on this whole challenge thing."
Me: "Oh really?"
MC: "Yeah, Punster's roommate is pretty, fun, and well, single. So what're you doing Sunday for breakfast?"
Me: "As in, umm, Easter Sunday?"
MC: "Oh right, totally didn't think about that."
Me: "We could do something during the week or next weekend?"
MC: "Lemme check!"
A little bit later it was set up that Miss Charades, Punster, Challenge Girl (as she shall be called until a better name presents itself) and I will meet up Wednesday for drinks and stuff at Chang Mai Thai. This did interfere with my usual Wednesday trip to Stub and Herb's with G-spot, but she basically ordered me to go on the date instead so I confirmed it this morning.
So it appears to be set. I will be having the first date of The Challenge! Oddly enough, this will simultaneously be my very first blind date ever. Yes, ever. This shall be interesting indeed.
Ok, well, I'm off people, Tuesdays and Thursdays will be Slacker's Dating Odyssey days so make sure to tune in!
