Party Chicago Style

I went out Tuesday. I haven’t gone OUT out in FOREVER! And, I went to the city to visit some friends.

First, I had dinner with Michael. Man, I hadn’t seen him in over three months! We went to Bennigan’s and ate, talked, laughed a whole lot, then called it an early night because he has midterms… stupid DePaul being on quarter systems. I had so much fun! We are hanging out next Tuesday when he’s done with studying his patootie off. I think I may have to make Tuesday nights “Michael nights”. The last time we hung out… we were so quiet. But, Tuesday- it was nonstop chatter, which I love.

After we parted ways, I called my friend Nikki. We decided to hit up a local bar and talk about boys. She had started dating this guy who was just dicking her around, but he had a necklace of hers, so she wanted it back. We decided to meet up with him later.

The bartender at Tilly’s, the first bar we went to, was SO nice. We sat there talking about the difference between American men and other men from other countries- he was from Dominican Republic. He is married, but he said before he got married, he would see women dating this awful men, and come in for the rescue. He was super cute.

The next bar was our favorite- Tequilla Roadhouse. We tried to talk the bouncer into letting us in for free, but he wouldn’t. We got a few drinks, sat down, and then I noticed the back of this guy’s head… he looked so familiar. Turned out it was a friend of mine I haven’t seen in a few years, Niko. He came over, bought us a few shots and a drink, and then got Nikki’s number. I hope he calls her. She is so sweet, and he’s a totally nice guy- anything beats the guy she was seeing before.

We finally leave to go get back Nikki’s necklace. We walk into the bar, and Nikki sees him, and starts telling him everything she is feeling (she was wasted). I sat there patiently, holding my drink, when a guy approached me. “Hi, I’m Damien.” I shook his hand, Nikki turned around, and she knew him! Well, I talked with Damian while Nikki finished her conversation with the “jackass”. Finally, it was getting late, and Nikki told me to leave her there with Jackass.. NO I told her. So, Damien, me, and a couple of his friends moved her out of the bar and I drove everyone home.

I told Nikki I thought Damien was cute- she is going to give him my number. Hey, I’m not saying I’m giving up the Mike Minor crush, but… if the fish is not taking the bait, I have to move the bait elsewhere. But, I think I am going to attempt to ask Mike Minor out on Saturday night, just not sure exactly how to word it. I really like him, a lot… and it sucks.

Ok, off to work my next shift… weehoo, need to make some MAJOR money 🙂 Wish me luck!
