Tow trucks, hospitals and naked women. I had a tremendous weekend!

2003-05-12 - 10:24 a.m.

Life has been positively insane for the past few days. I will attempt to recount the interesting parts, but it might get choppy because I may wander away from the computer.

Thursday night This started out normal and innocent enough. James and I decided to go out and see X-2. So it was a bit rebellious, the whole going out on a school night, but nothing too crazy. So we went, and on the way back he starts telling me that his ABS light was on and couldn't figure out why, and then mentioned that everything was just a bit dimmer than it should be. I told him to take it in to the mechanic ASAP, like first thing in the morning, because it sounded like his alternator and once that thing goes it just goes. You could be anywhere and it could just shut down. You don't want that happening on the interstate or anything. So he kinda shrugged me off and was like, 'yeah, maybe' and whatever.

So he dropped me off and I got as far as peeing and calling Mike when my phone rang. Sure enough, it was James and his car died in my apartment complex. So I went out to help him figure out what to do. He decided to call AAA and get it towed to the dealership.

So more than 2 hours later a tow truck shows up, at which point it's a hassle to get the car up on his flat bed tow truck because he let his car roll into the underground parking. So there was pushing of the car (okay, so I mostly got to steer - it's nice being a girl). We then took the car to the dealership, I followed in my car. Apparantly the tow guy has a thing for red heads, because he told James how lucky he was to 'have himself a redhead'. When James explained that I was not, in fact, his but rather had a boyfriend of my own who was not him, the guy told him that it shouldn't let that stop him. Apparantly, according to this guy, we're really crazy in bed, so James shouldn't let opportunity pass him by. James found this all too amusing and felt the need to share it all with me when I drove him home from the dealership.

So when we got there, it took FOREVER to get the car off of the bed. They couldn't get it to go back into neutral, so they used the jerking motion of moving the bed back and forth to jimmy it off the bed (so healthy for the tires!).

When all was said and done, I was home at about 4:00 a.m.

Friday I got into work late because I got home so late the night before. When I got in Ross told me a story about Beckie having a tummy ache and him talking her into going to the doctor because it sounded like appendicitis. A bit after I got in she called, and they wanted her to go get a CT scan to find out if it was in fact appendicitis because all of their tests gave strange, contradictory results. So I took her over to the imaging place and, sure enough, she had it. So I then took her to the hospital and they got her into surgery almost right away. Seriously, she did the paperwork, got her room right away, didn't even have much of a chance to lie down. They did a bunch of tests and rolled her in. I left while she was in surgery, but I came back to check on her a few hours later and stuck with her until almost midnight.

Saturday Beckie called butt-early in the morning (okay, like 9) and was bored out of her mind, so she wanted me to come to the hospital and keep her company. I got there as soon as I could, which was maybe an hour later, and they had already told her she could go home whenever she wants. So we went to CVS to fill her perscriptions and got her home to bed. I left shortly after, because she felt the need to try to play hostess when she really needed to rest.

A few hours later Hollie and I got her car back to her (it was still on campus) and Hollie invited me out with her and her husband. He had 'the hook up' at Taco Mac where we got to have all the free drinks and appetizers we wanted. It was pretty cool. It was a big bunch of us, mostly his friends, and things broke up a bit after 11. Hollie and I still wanted to be out, so we decided to go to the Pink Pony (the strip club across the street from my apartment).

Meanwhile, my friend Amy was going to meet us at Taco Mac, when I called her and told her not to bother because we left, but were going to the Pony instead. She was in! We had a fantastic time, though it was way too crowded. Matt (Holllie's hubby) handed me a stack of singles when we walked inI didn't get to give any of the strippers any of my singles until the end of the night. But I did get a shot from the shot girl, and she was really hot, and it was a really sexy shot delivery. She sat on my lap and did naughty things to the test tube with her tongue. After she was all done, she stuck the shot into her cleavage and pushed my head down to take the shot from her breasts. So I pulled it out, drank it down, and she took it back with her mouth. She then kissed my cheek and got off my lap. It was really cool.

Bridget eventually came to meet us, which was nice, because I haven't seen her in about a bajillion years. It turns out that she and Amy knew one of the other shot girls, and it turned out that she was totally cool. In fact, she told me they'd rename it the Red Pony in honor of me and my hair (my red hair was apparantly the theme for the weekend).

Mike got a kick out of it all :-). He told me that if I took him there the next time he came to visit me that he'd buy me a lap dance :-).

Yesterday Much less crazy. I did some shopping and bought new stuff for my apartment. I got a new DVD player and VCR, finally. I also bought a ton of other stuff that I needed.

But I do need to go and attempt to get at least a little bit of work done before lunch time!
