Back to work today, after being off since Thursday at 4:30, which absolutely ruled. Tried to call Christian, got no answer, then drove out to Hampden after work, but his shop was closed, so I wasn't able to get that record. Still may check back the next weekend I'm around there. Met Mom and Tony at Chili's, then later on, once Nick got off of work, got dressed to go out. Wore a skirt, rather dolled up, if I do say so myself, felt pretty good, if slightly foreign to encapsulate so much feminity. Wore heels, walked up to Racer's--- REALLY bad idea. Terrible blisters to follow. Did get the pleasure of a surprised look on his face upon opening the door and got told that I looked nice. Went to Frazier's after Racer's, met Rob Soma and Chrissy. Must think to make use of my skirts and dresses more. Friday I was off to get the rest of the stuff out of the apartment with Carmin, have the walk-through and turn in the keys. Went to Common Ground for breakfast first, which was lovely. Everything bagel with tuna salad and iced mocha, delicious. We ran stuff to the Good Will, then loaded the car with stuff for the house, did a very superficial cleaning, and waited for the walk-through. I really don't think there should be any reason to not get the full security deposit back, but with those bastards, I hold my breath. God knows I can use that $800. After that, Carm and I were exhausted, so after watching some court shows, I took a nap, had a ridiculous dream where Nick, Carmin, and I were in Philadelphia, along with Chris Jerkass, who in this dream, was Carmin's boyfriend. I ended up getting sick for a while, either from the heat or from an excess of these tortilla chips I gorged myself on, or a combination of both, and for a while, was worried I wasn't going to go to the Depeche Mode New Order Dance Party at Ottobar that night. I did feel better to go, although, I felt a little apprehensive all evening, having only one drink the whole night. The dance party was hit or miss, some good songs, some crap, would have been better without Duran Duran, but that goes without saying. Stopped by Frazier's for last call, saw Rob and Chrissy, then took a very drunk Nick to Paper Moon where we dined on heavenly grilled cheese sandwiches. Totally wish they didn't have curly fries, threatens to mar the entire experience really. Back home, Nick passed out across the bed, couldn't get him to wake up long enough to lay at the head of the bed, so I ended up also sleeping cross-ways, too. We later determined his error was in drinking so much beer before starting to drink liquor. Anyways, once up on Saturday, we did very little before going to dinner with his parents and brother at Arcos on Broadway for some delicious authentic Mexican food. It was a really fun evening, his parents are terribly nice people. Stopped in Friends for a drink, walked around Fells (there was a drunk girl who yelled out, "Oh my God, Don Scott, I love you!!"). Went over Christina's new house near Patterson Park and just sat around. Would have much rather done anything else, but eh, what can you do? Later on there was a discussion about me always deferring to Nick about what we do, mainly out of my wanting to be accomodating or not having a preference, but maybe I should offer more of an opinion, without, of course, being pushy or domineering. When we got home, Carmin and Allen were still up and it seemed like we'd all hang out and it would be awesome, but Carmin got pissed about Allen drinking, and her and I had words about the television, so there was then tension, she was still pissed about miriad things yesterday, but I think she MAY be less so today. Yesterday morning, after waking up in the best possible way (haha), we went to Nick's to watch the World Cup. Went home around 7, said maybe we'd hit the bar later on, but I took a nap at home, that turned into sleeping for the whole night, and didn't hear from Nick, so I hopefully got caught up and maybe banked some sleep.

Really want 4:30 to come so Mom can pick me up and take me to get my car at Vee Dub (30,000 mile check-up liberating me of $150 today). Carmin has gone with her mother up to New Jersey to see Joey. I will be very glad to get to see Nick later and go to Club Charles. In retrospect, I really did not consume hardly any alcohol this weekend. Such things must be remedied haha.
