Weekend Highlights

As my weekend nears the end... I can't help but think, how much I love them.

Friday, I went out to dinner with friends (as planned). Amy, had arranged a date via Match.com and didn't want to go alone. So she asked if Ivonne and I would go with her... and just hang out on the sidelines at the club while she mingled with her date. If he was a bad date... she would figure out a way to end the night early and club with us... and if he was a good date... then at least she knew Ivonne and I had eachother to club with. Well her date was a nice guy... fairly easy going, but his flaw was he is a pot head. I have to give him credit, though, for being honest and letting her know upfront. Well while Amy and her date danced and had a few drinks, I dragged Ivonne with me to the local ColdStones (ice cream store), I'd been craving Ice cream since last week. Anyway, after we each got our scoop of sugar, refusing to go back into the club, we sat out on one of the benches on the strip to people watch. People watching is so much fun... if you haven't done it, you really should try. Ok... so back to the story, so as we sat there, first we saw three girls, who looked like they had just turned 21, play fighting with each other. Throwing their clutch purses at one another as they would kick or swing there arms to try and hit the other... I think... they wanted attention... I could be wrong. Then as Ivonne and I were checking out a really hot guy, a random girl (somewhat wasted) popped out of no where in front of us and had the following conversation:

Wasted Girl (WG): You girls are so beautiful. I, I mean, my boyfriend, and I were wondering if you would like to fool around with us. (ends with a hazy look)

Me: (with a smirk) Oh, sorry honey, not tonight, we are a little tired.

Ivonne: (with a bright ass smile) Yeah, besides, we are waiting for a friend.

WG: (still with a hazy look) Oh, Ok. too bad. But if you change your mind, we will be waiting overthere. (points at a drunk ass guy sitting on a cement slab)

And let me say, she/they continued to sitting on the slab for a good 2o minutes, until, (I assume) they figured we weren't going to budge, and walked away... mind you as they walked off she turns around smiles, and waved good bye at us.

Now as exciting and fun as that sounds, I have one more... so at the particular strip we were at, the clubs and bars close at 1:30am, so around 1:15-1:20 they do "last call". So anyways, around 1:20 a random guy comes over and asks if he could sit with us.... and this is how that went;

Guy: Can sit with you guys?

Me: Well we are waiting for a friend.

Guy: Oh, is it a boyfriend/husband? I mean I don't want to offend him or get my ass kicked.

Ivonne: Um.. no its just a friend.

Guy: Oh, cool then, I'll sit. So my friends and I wanted to buy you girls drinks.

Me: Well thanks, but you can't drink outside.

Guy: Well no, not outside, inside the club. Where are you guys from?

Me: Redondo, you?

Guy: Inglewood... the hood

Ivonne: (Bursts out laughing)

Guy: What? whats wrong with Inglewood?

Ivonne: nothing... I'm just laughing.

Guy: So, you guys come here often?

Me: (laughing, at the line he just said) Not really, just when we are board. You?

Guy: No, this is my second time. The first time I came I got locked up.

Me: Locked up? Yeah... hmmm... (speachless)

Guy: Yeah... my friends really want to buy you guys drinks...

Meanwhile Amy calls, to see where we are at, so we tell her and she head over with her date.

Me: Oh darn, here come our friends... Maybe next time.

Ivonne: (laughing histarically at God knows what)

Guy: Oh... ok.. thanks for the chat.

Ok nice, guy... but seriously... did he really think, him telling us about getting locked up the fist time he was there would be a nice pick up line?

I tell you I still get surpirsed at the lovely people you meet at, around, near or by clubs. It's still fun though... I think it's even more fun when you are not drunk. :)
