Went to my work for cocktails with my friends on Friday night! They were delicious and the cocktails were pretty nice too ;)
I was very pleased to discover that I get staff discount!
Therefore we stayed for more drinks than planned and I got very drunk on Hummingbird Martini's.
Its not one which you will be familiar with, but basically its a Martini with ginger, lemon-grass and pineapple juice in it. So fucking good in other words.
We also has;
Parisian Cafe (espresso based drink.) Made us very hyper.
Bourbon Blush (strawberry and whisky)
Innocent Daiquiri (Peach puree and rum, among other things.)
Passion Julip (Passionfruit and whisky based)
Pear and Elderflower Collins. (not sure what's in this one, but its damn good. Very nice summer drink)
It was very awkward at first, drinking in the place I work, since earlier that night I had told my friends about the little incident that happened last weekend...
A colleague of mine, who has a long term girl friend, kissed me. I quickly put a stop to it.
For many reasons.
My morals possibly could be bent if I found him seriously attractive and wanted to have his children. However he's not really my type, eight years older than me, and obviously has a girlfriend.
So Friday night was the first time I had seen him since walking away from him last weekend. When I first saw him, we said hello and there was this definite eye contact thing going on. Like you know how people talk about the big pink elephant in the room? Like that. Only not as uncomfortable.
I refuse to let it become weird, he is, when not trying to cheat on his girlfriend, a very nice guy.
My friends instantly knew it was him and started kicking me under the table and trying to discreetly poke me.
I hate it when they do this, they weren't being discreet, they were being incredibly uncool and making it difficult for me to pretend like everything is OK!
We went and sat down at a table and everything was fine, we shared cock talk, the girls commented on how lucky I was to work with so many hot guys (*sigh* yes I know. The eye candy is good, but its for looking not for touching!) and then we laughed at a very funny joke about lead hosiery (that's tights to regular folk).
I noticed him walking around out from behind the bar a lot, I know for a fact he never really does this, he was collecting glasses and coming over to talk us and stuff... I got the feeling he was doing it just to watch me or talk to me. Sounds vain, but when I shared my fears with my friends they agreed. My fears were solidified last night at work, but I shall address that later, on with the rest of the cocktail night!
After we left the bar I work in we had arranged to meet some guy friends of ours, one of them being my friends boyfriend. We were just going to go for one drink with them, have a chat and then part ways.
We turned up at the bar and sat outside with our drinks. The guys were like 45 minutes late and when they turned up they had more people with them than we thought. TWO of my ex boyfriends were there.
One of them none of us can even stand to be near him. One of my friends was a bit drunk... well a lot... so she instantly started getting a bit mouthy with them. They hadn't even brought their own drinks yet...
I shared a very awkward moment, with my most recent ex boy friend. He was a total fuck head without even trying. The conversation went something like this...
"Hiya," *reluctantly hugs and receives kiss on the cheek* "How are you?" I continued.
"I'm good,
really good." he replied.
"Wonderful." I said sarcastically before walking away back over to my source of alcohol.
Jack ass. In all the time I've known him, until we broke up he never answered that question with "
really good", it was always just "good" or "alright".
I know he is still single and still living at home with his nagging mother, so what the fuck could be so good about his life that he feels the need to rub in it?
He looked like a cock too. He's started slicking his hair back! So much gel I wanted to throw up.
At least I know I did the right thing.
After putting us in a fowl mood the boys buggered off. Leaving the three off us fuming mad and drunk.
We didn't let it pull us down though; we went to the next bar we could find and started on the shots.
They were playing pretty good music, so we had a little dance and a sing song.
Lost my single friend for a good twenty minutes only to discover her in the toilets drunk dialling her ex boyfriend, setting up a sex date! To our hilarity her defence was "Look! He's got a big knob, OK?!".
I'm glad to say that, after a quick reminder of why she broke up with him, she cancelled the sex hook up.
The night ended with the girls coming back to my place, take away food in toe and us all snuggling up in bed together.
All in all, it was a very successful and fun night out.
Saturday was glorious. Beautiful sunshine, and a nice temperature too.
My dad, step mum, youngest step brother and myself all went out for lunch. We sat in the bar/restaurant garden drinking beer and munching on yummy food.
Very nice, a lovely way to spend the day before heading off to work.
I must say, I wasn't in the best of moods Saturday night though, I was working post hangover and the DJ was playing terrible music. I kinda shut down and went on auto pilot; getting on with my work but not really chatting to people as much as I normally do.
To add to irritation... like I said earlier my fears were confirmed. He made a couple of innuendo joke, that told me that he was not going to let it go.
I quote.
Me: "This is an invasion. get out of my work area." jokingly of course.
Him: " No, this isn't an invasion. You will know when I invade you. And I will do one day." with a hint hint wink wink. *Cringe*
It gets worse
Me: "Haha check out your sale skills."
Him: "Its not just sales i'm good at gorgeous, I got talents in all areas." *cringe*
I'm planning on just pretending I didn't notice any of the shit he said. Then if he tries to make a move again I shall just reject him and hopefully he will drop it.
Men, seriously... Like a dog with a bone.
Anyway, I had a lazy day today.
Watched
Roman Holiday for the first time. I adore Audrey Hepburn.
And then me and my dad watched
Burn After Reading. You know the one with Brad Pitt, George Cloony and that woman from
Fargo? It was very good, I liked a lot. The Coen brother are very talented and I always enjoy what they do.
Anyway, I'm just trying to get my head around a dream I had earlier, it contained many disturbing images and showed the frightening consequences of time travel, which I wont share with you.
Take care my darlings.
