Give me my helmet before I hurt myself!

Hehe! Okay so wow 3 posts in a row in less then a week! Rock on with my bad self!! But see I've actually got fun stuff to recap about. So Friday...ugh the day from hell I shall call it. I must have truly been out of my mind. I didn't go to bed until basically almost 24 hours after I woke up Friday morning. I killed basically an entire bottle of vodka mixed with red bull over the course of about 12 hours. No clue what spurred that on. I was at home though so there was no worry to drive home or anything like that. I pulled the drunk dial on a friend. I'm not even 100% sure what all was said during that conversation but hopefully I didn't say anything too stupid or embarass myself too much. I tend to be a bit too open when I'm really drunk. So we'll have to see on that but I doubt I could have said anything too bad, but hell I did have about 30 minutes to do so though. LOL

Saturday I ended up going out with Elizabeth, Greg, Marcie and well gonna have to stick with calling him Niceman since I can't remember his real name. I think it might be Mike but I'm not 100% sure on that. We started off at this one bar but karaoke can be bad enough on its own...but when most people are doing country songs...um wow. We quickly left that bar and hit Backstreet even though it was an older band playing. Even though these guys had to be like in their 50's at least...they kicked some ass. Past 40 was the name of the band. We had some good laughs at a few of the odd people there including Sparkles. What is up with girls either having a huge purse or a belt that is nothing but like gold or silver sparkles??? And how could we not dance at the guy who I swear was shaking his hips more then most girls do and of course his karate kick! :-O Yeah no clue on that one.

We sat at a table all night just laughing and being just crazy. It truly was a good night. No one was a downer on the night. Everyone bought a round or 2 of drinks. I had a straw collection going. LOL For some reason I just kept taking the straws out of my old drink and adding them to the new. Most drinks had at least 2 straws each time so by the end of the night I had about 20 straws in the one drink I was drinking at the time. LOL Anyway we kept all trying to think of basically just goofy dances like the cabbage patch, running man, the jerk and all those other old dance moves. So the night included me getting up and doing the running man for a few seconds and all of us busting up laughing at it. The one time I forget what was going on and being said but being the class clown/goof ball/court jester that I am sometimes I furthered the laughing by purposely falling out of my chair, onto the floor laughing. The bar was pretty much empty so I didn't have to worry about more then maybe 15 people seeing me do it. The one guy working there came over laughing. He chatted with us a bit and of course Greg and them had to bust on me and be like we only bring her out sometimes because she's a bit retarded. No offense to anyone with mental problems. Now earlier in the night we had seen a bike helmet...a pink one at that! *shrugs* Don't ask me why there's a bike helmet like that in a bar. So this leads us into saying something about forgetting my helmet so he goes off and gets the helmet for me. It was a kid's helmet with some Barbie stuff on the side. I put it on and we all just died laughing. The guy was even like come on do the like retard hand movements for me so I did and I swear we were all almost crying from laughing so much. In fact Marcie took a picture with her camera phone. Not the greatest quality but still sooo funny to see the pic especially since at the time I purposely acted like I was drinking out of all of my straws...yes all 20 of them! LOL

What's even funnier is after that out of nowhere the guy who gave me the helmet said something and like called me freak show. I was like woah since Freak is one of my nicknames. I even told him that after he said it. So later I was coming back from getting a drink and started joking around and doing some weird dance. He said something and was like alright Freak Show. So I guess now I've got another new Freak name to add to my list. It'll be interesting since chances are I'll see that guy this Saturday when I go to Backstreet to see this one band play. But Saturday definitely made it an awesome weekend.

Crazy to still be awake....

Yes I am beyond my usual crazy/insane by still being awake tonight! Why you ask?? Well this week was the week from hell at work! Wednesday and Thursday I worked two 11 hour days. I couldn't do my usual 12 hour days because it was just too much. Monday and Tuesday I had been off because of issues with my back hurting me. And then today...ugh! I started at 7, hoping and praying to get off at 4:15 or at least close to it. But deep down I knew that was NOT gonna happen. Okay so I started to think 6 by the latest or at least close to that. Do you think I was right? Nah. Close to right? Hell NO! Want to take a guess of what time I got off of work? Did you say 7:30? Ehh! Wrong! Try again. Did you say 8:15? Nope, once again WRONG! One more guess and I'll give you a clue...in military time the first two numbers would be 21. Now if by some chance you said almost 9:10 then you would unfortunately be damn right! Some people might be like okay so that's a long day but so what? Now picture yourself stuck in front of a computer all that time and you're flipping through at least 10 different screens and all that time you're stuck comparing numbers on the screen with what is on the check, plus entering in numbers and rechecking numbers and so forth. After a while your hands and mind don't want to work anymore and you start making typos like crazy. Each typo drives you more insane because you know it's another second or two that you are farther away from going home.

More numbers and even more numbers. Writing down numbers on the checks and looking up numbers and comparing numbers, adding numbers and subtracting numbers, dividing numbers and just going insane at seeing so many damn numbers while stuck staring at a computer screen! It wears you out. Especially if in the back of your mind you know this could have been avoided if your boss had set people on the right tasks to begin with instead of screwing around. Now you kind of see what I'm getting at. Plus then you could add in the fact that you do double the work of some people and almost triple the work of others.

Yet here I am soo tired that I'm too tired to even sleep. Of course drinking vodka and red bull isn't helping at all. But hey I needed a drink. At least tomorrow is Saturday and no work! No need to look at numbers all day! Plus I'm looking forward to hanging out with some friends and having a good time.

Still alive...

Yep I'm still around even though it's been a while since I last updated. I figured I'd muster up the energy to write something especially after being harassed by someone a little bit about it (hey Mjet! hehe). I guess I just haven't felt like there was anything that exciting going on for me to write an entry. Life has pretty much been the same as it usually is. I go to work and I go out with friends from time to time. Although I have cut back on how much I go out. Lately it's only been like maybe once a week instead of the old 2 or 3 times a week. I guess in a small way I've kind of being getting burned out from all the drama and BS that has started to go on. Not saying I'm 100% innocent of it, but regardless it was getting old. Even when I was trying to be the bigger person I had people running their mouths and starting stuff with me. But most of that really isn't worth getting into anymore then I already have.

Softball season is around the corner. I've got a lot of work to do for that. I need to get contact information from my one brother so I can see who all is playing again this year. Then I need to get a hold of the league and get a copy of the information for it since my brother's wife had thrown out the copy they got. Then I also need to call 2 other people to see if they are running teams this year and if they are having me play on those teams. I hope so because that would give me 3 leagues to play in this summer which I'd love. Regardless I need to get in gear with that especially since I think I'll end up needing to recruit a few people for my team. I just know I want to play. Winning is cool but I mostly just want to play regardless of whether my team wins or not. Hopefully it'll all work out the way I want it to. If not it could end up being a really long summer for me. In fact I'd probably go insane if I don't have any softball this summer. After so many years of playing on 2 leagues in the summer and 1 or 2 in the fall it would be hard not to have softball in my life. Yikes! We're not even going to think about that.

The love life is still pretty much non-existant for me. I've been talking to someone but I don't know. I guess I'm just at that point in my life where I really want to be sure of even giving something a chance. I don't want to waste my time on anything especially if right away I feel it won't go anywhere. Right or wrong that's pretty much my approach to it right now. I think it's also the fact that I don't want to settle. I'm pretty much aware of what I want in a guy and I deserve that so I'm just being picky in some ways. I'm confident it'll happen when the time is right and I'll find that right person. I just wish the right time would get here sooner rather then later.
