The Friday Night Hook-Up

So, as I mentioned in my last blog, I went to the KRBE Friday Night Hook-up at Drink Houston with Office Girl Friday night. WE HAD A BLAST! While we were getting ready at her humble abode, a friend of mine (we'll call him Driver) called me to find out what I was doing, he had a friend coming in town from Lufkin and they wanted to do something fun. I told him where I was going and they decided to meet us out there. So, we get to the "Hook-Up" and the place was packed. The best part was that there weren't people there that were so beautiful it made you uncomfortable. Everyone was very normal looking. We found Driver and his friend and we ended up hanging out with them all night long. Office Girl and I participated in this game where all of the men in the place had necklaces with padlocks and all the women had necklaces with keys. So, the idea was that you just go up to random people to find out if you could open their padlocks with your keys. It was kinda fun, but a little cheesey! Anyway, I have to tell you, that night I was a Single looking to Mingle! (I know, a little corny but hey would you have me any other way?) With the help of two dirty martinis and a couple of beers I was going up to anyone I felt like talking to. I was in RARE form. Normally, I am so self-conscious that I don't really talk to anyone. I had forgotten how much fun a club could actually be. I danced and laughed all night long. I actually had two different guys tell me that I was beautiful! This is not a regular occurence for me. Believe it or not, Office Girl and I were walking around and we went up to these two guys and I introduced us to them and looked at the one on the right and ran my finger across his cheek and said "You are tooo cute!" Ok people, where did that come from? That is not me! That is not the Single Girl everyone knows and loves! But, I decided that I was a long way from home and I would probably never see any of these people again, so what the hell. I threw all inhibitions out the window and let loose! And you know what...IT WAS GREAT! By the end of the night I was dancing with this guy and we exchanged phone numbers. I spoke with him today and I'm supposed to call him back this evening. So, maybe another date and a new code name will come from this, you just never know.

I did speak to Front Loader today. I forgot to mention that when I was at the bar Friday night I text messaged him around midnight. Not a smooth move on my part, I know. There is nothing like looking like drunken, desperate girl. But, this morning I got a text from him saying Good Morning so I texted Good Morning to you back to him. When I went out for my 9am cigarette, I called him and I apologized for the late night texting. Are you ready for what he said..."I'm always glad to get text messages from you!" Wasn't that sweet? Anyway, we talked about what we did over the weekend and all that good stuff. So, maybe another date with Front Loader is on the horizon.

Here is the updated list of code names...

Me - Single Girl
Hoochie - My best friend
Slut Puppy - My best friend from high school
Escort - My boyfriend from high school
Doodlebug - My other best friend
Movie Buff - Doodlebugs husband
The Little Doodles - Doodlebugs children

Mrs. Big Daddy - Big Daddy's wife
Front Loader - The guy I went to Chili's with
Office Girl - One of the ladies I work with
Driver - I guy I worked with at a previous job


Until next time...

Single Girl

How fantastic! I never went to one of those radio show singles' things. I always wished I did though because they sound so fun! Now I have Baby and won't get to try them out. Maybe I can go to the next with you and pimp you out. I'm a great PR agent... haha!

Also, sounds like Front Loader is more interested than you thought... or at least he's reciprocating conversation a flirting. Good for you!

I meant "conversation AND flirting" in the last post. I'm the typo queen today!

Awesome! It sounds like you had a blast, and obviously, you should let loose more ... be bold, be daring, I say!

I'm glad the single life is treating you well, that you're meeting great guys and having a blast. And I think that in no time at all, you will meet a great guy ... you are going to all the right places, and utilizing the personals, and you are sure to find a much better guy than you would find in some bar. But for now, have fun, and let loose more often ... it certainly agrees with you!
