Insomnia
It’s almost 3 a.m. and I’m not tired enough to sleep yet so here I am.
Last night I met up with BFF at her work and then we headed over to our usual spot, followed by Fave Watering Hole (which was ridiculously busy for a Sunday night). I had a beer, then developed a headache and decided to call it a night. So much for my big party plan.
On my way out of the Fave Watering Hole parking lot, I received a text from my friend Holly, who was at another place I hang out semi-frequently. I have a bit of a crush on a guy that works there and Holly is very aware of this- and sent the text to inform me that he was there. I haven’t seen him since I met him, a few weeks ago, but have become “MySpace” friends with him (stop rolling your eyes) and have exchanged a few lame-ass messages that way. Nothing to get excited over, but I can’t shake my crush, so I was very into the idea of being in the same room with him again. Headache be damned, I’m going to meet up with Holly.
New Crush was there looking very cute (and not working), and seemed very happy to see me. Luckily, I had several other friends there too, so I didn’t have to stand around trying to act like I wasn’t there just because he was. Not luckily, Holly was in full-on shot mode, so we began tossing back fruity red-colored things about every 2-5 minutes. Soon thereafter, my headache was a memory and I was sufficiently buzzing like a dizzy bee.
As the end of the night loomed, everyone decided to head to our friend, Gina’s house. Somehow New Crush and I ended up on her back patio, talking about his recent trip to another country and sipping red wine. Next thing I know… we’re makin’ out like teenagers. That went on until nearly 5 a.m. At some point we realized we’re adults with shit to do the next day, so we called it a night.
He has my number, we discussed going out, so we’ll see what happens. I think he may have called today but I didn’t answer, the caller didn’t leave a message and YouMail completely failed me with any information. I’m thinking YouMail is going to be kissing my ass goodbye very soon. Perhaps whomever it was will try again tomorrow.
I’m off to bed, finally. I gotta work tomorrow (later, technically) and then I think I’ll go see Sly at her new job. She won the competition and is the new bartender on Tuesdays. I very much enjoy having bartenders as friends.
Peace and kissing cute boys.

Insomnia, eh? Yeah, I’m suffering from a bit of that myself. Want to know what time I went to bed last night/this morning? Six o’clock in the AM.
How I’m functioning today at work is beyond me!

I like the more descriptive nicknames you use, like Vanilla Ice and Scrubs. I can picture those guys. But just plain “New Crush”? I’m drawing a blank.

Woo hoo! Now that’s what I call a fine reason to have insomnia! Although I’m not sure ‘insomnia’ is the right word. Sounds more like plain sleep deprivation to me!

Maybe insomnia is contagious. I didn’t go to bed until 3:30AM last night (this morning)!!

Congratulations on New Crush! And tell Sly congratulations on winning her competition! See, your friendship and well wishes helped her win anyway, even when you couldn’t be there to watch her compete.

Oh, the random Sunday that turns into a full-out party. You could never have planned a Friday or Saturday night that well!

One problem I never have is insomnia. I’m a sleepy head who could fall asleep anytime and anyplace … hehehe …

Ohhh! Sounds like you’re having fun. I have a few friends who are bartenders - LOVE IT!!! Can’t wait to hear what happens. Hopefully he’ll stay sweet and cute :o)

I’m with Susan, I feel like I need pictures of these guys to get the full essence of what we’re into here. Can you pretend you’re texting someone and take unsuspecting blackberry photos of them– oh, that’s just so wrong.

My God, woman, you make me remember my fun days ohhhhh so long ago. LOL Your life is better than reality TV any day! Heeey, that’s a great idea! We who love to live vicariously through you should totally get together with all the network heads and pitch your life as a show. You’d be famous and we’d all be electronically satisfied. LOL

Kev - Mock away, pal. Trust me… I feel lame every time I log in. LOL. Yet I still do.
Susan - Check your email. lol
Jay -Yeah, he wasn’t the reason for my insomnia the night I wrote this post… Unfortunately! HA HA HA
Angi - It doesn’t help that I work nights and can’t sleep before 4 a.m. Well, 5 a.m. NOW. lol
Jeff - You’re hilarious! But… that’s exactly how I feel! Like a lame teenager.
Nick Phillips - I am trying to make up for my week of lockdown due to my tooth issues. LOL
Lisa Lisa - I am friends with all the bartenders at the places I hang out. But Sly and I are very good friends, so that makes for a nice, low bar bill. lol I don’t expect that of her though. She just rocks.
Florida Girl In Sydney - Check your email. lol
Leigh - That cracked me UP! I don’t think the guys in my life would like that. LOL. Thank GOD none of them know I blog!

Natural - He was totally worth going out with a headache for. lol And no, there will be no videos of any of that. Perhaps someday I’ll go that route when I’m skanky and famous! LOL
And I still believe that bottle-wrapper peeling just means your bored.
