the beginning of the best.
we met at starbucks. we somehow became friends, i dont really remember the process. so here’s my beginning.
somewhere we started to drink together. a lot. we were drinking all day, everyday. opening sierra nevada bottles with jumper cables. drinking more pabst blue ribbon than probably the rest of new port richey combined. i cant really remember what order the stories went, but theyre fantastic.
STORY 1) the punchline is, she passed the fuck out. we started drinking at an early time, and planned on going to a party at rico’s. so, drunk as fuck us, shows up already tore up (this si whatcha say, sorry for party rockin!~). she thinks mr. rico has pretty eyes. well, hes a big spanish mother fucker with braids in his hair, and apparently his shoes always match his shirt. and he can dance like those folk do. ANYWAYS. gettin even more drunk, alex picks up a giant bottle of smirnoff and proceeds to drop it on the floor. nobodys mad though, because rico wants to get himself a pretty little white girl from new york. so whatever. somehow, and this night is a blur here, she ends up on the couch. she says she wants to stay. so a friend sean and i go to the park to swing, because i cant handle the loud drunks at this dirty filthy house. we come back, and blah blah blah, all the sudden alex is in hysterics. i take her home, and on the way home, she stops crying. i look over and realize she’s passed out. well, i had been talking to her ex-fiance/friend/whatever in washington, and call him. Jim kinda talks me down from being so alarmed. her house is locked, i dont have her keys (although she managed to accidentally take rico’s keys!) and have to search for a way in. well, her back sliding glass door is actually open, so i open it and open the garage. so now im thinking, im drunk as fuck, how do i get this girl into her friggin house?!, so i grab this little rolling platforn that is four pieces of 2X4 in a square shape with a square in the middle. she doesnt fit on it, so i carry her fucking ass her into the garage, lean her up so i can open the door, then carry her to her bed where i drop her the fuck off. she sleeps like this. i get on skype with jim to show him how drunk she is, and we chat a little. i may have had a crush on this man, but you know, jenu ruins everything. so,i have to get up for work in the morning (this was within the first two weeks that i started tflats) and i cant find any fucking shoes. she doesnt wake up. i left her a note hoping she wasnt dead. she eventually woke up. i love her for this <3
STORY 2) this one is short. somehow, when she;s in washignton with jim, i get convinced to send naked pictures to them. jim sees everything. im curious if he still has them lololol
STORY 3) the airport. worst adventure ever. i dont knwo anything about the airport. i didnt even know how ot get there. and some fucker on 60 &19 pissed me off and i threatened him, kinda funny. so, im at the airport, and my phone is about to die. she’s running late. im consistently talking to jim about whats going on, and getting super nervous. somehow when im there, i try to go get her when i finally find where she’s at, and end up having to go all the fuck the wasy back over the big bridge, then back again. at this point, im on the phone with jim, ranting about how much i fucking hate the airport. he’s sweet about it and calms me down. finally i fucking find her. she reeks of tequila, naturally, because margaritas at the bar airport are a good idea. the parking attendant bitch is a bitch. she yells at torto about where she’s standing. well, finally i can leave this fucking airport. so we stop and grab beer, and more beer, and i think we may have stopped a third time. this whole beer thing is the epitome of our relationship, but neither of us mind. i love her <3
STORY 4) i dont remember what happened, but this is significant to the beginning. she gets in my car and says she’s kicked out unless she goes to treatment, and refuses to go. two days later, she gets in and says shes going. i remember the fear in her eyes, or maybe ti was somethign else, but she looked worried and scared. this was the first time ir ealized i actually had a great friendship with her, not just a drinking partner. I remember the time i saw her when she was on leave after she went to ATI, she looked so healthy and wonderful. she’s an inspiration to me.
well, thats the beginning for me. well, its us now lol.
well, lets update.
Sitting at starbz again, what the fuck is new? worked this morning. alex and sean came in. he’s such a sweet man to her, she’s very lucky. they’ve now been on two dates, and have tflats lunch (if that counts as a third) and hes being awesome! except he doesnt like that im only drinking water at his work lololol. so, jay and i’s date went really great. he was a cute boy, even paid for dinner. he said he’d text me later that night if he wasn’t busy and we’d do something else. well, we went to WOB on friday night, and ended up on the roof. he said he wanted to see me, so i told him to look up. he never got the text and later at like 4 in the morning said he was disappointed he didn’t get to see me. so i said it’s okay id run into him another time, and that was it. nothing else has happened. he hasn’t texted, even after i sent a cute message last night. so screw him. or i need to just let the idea go. jenu and i are no longer talking. at all.blah blah blah, whats new? we’ve (as in alex and i. apparently everything we do now is an “us” or “we” or “our” like our cigarettes, and our house. i love it) been going to surf shack a lot. actually, we’re going there after we chill at starbz a little. im thinking more tequila tonight <3 damn. i feel so strange that this boy all fo the sudden disappeared. another jimmy fucking postma. anyways, this is supposed to be a chronicle of our adventures, so i better get to it. we went to WOB last night (and im assuming tonight as well) and jay was working at blend. i kept seeing him walk by and being like omggggsocuteeeeeee. because he is. BUT. whatever lol. last night, we also got super high. i mean, discussing how i can always smell ham when weed si smoked, and not getting out of my car because we’re too lazy high. it was an adventure in itself in my car. i think it’s important to begin the saga of our lives with the beginning (or what i view as the beginnning). excuse my mistakesssss.
well, first adventure recorded.
Apparently alex wants me to start a tumblr to recap all of our adventures. So i guess i’ll start with last night. Well, actually, right now. Right now i’m sitting at tijuana flats, with her laptop, combing over last night figuring what the hell i was thinking. We went in between our shifts at work to go get her bike from the irish pub by world of beer in westchase. As we drive, she sees a tflats shirt and we automatically assume it’s stephen. well, it is. we find out after we kinda sneak up to check. we sit and talk for a few, and the mardi gras event turns out to be that night. so i cancel my plans with jenu, and plan to go out and have a grand ole time. alex is sitting at the bar developing a crush on this cute bartender. so, we plan to come back and she plans to talk to him.cool! so then we adventure to starbucks, to see the handsome sean, who alex has a date with later today. he seems like a sweet boy, im very excited for her, but she works at five so we cant stay at starbs too long. while she’s working, i head to her house to have a few beers in the shower. sounds like a good plan right? well, it is. im a bit buzzed, so i head back to tijuana flats to do my homework! just hang on, the story gets more interesting, but the build up is important. SO. blah blah blah taco tuesday is slammed, whats new? when she finally gets off, we head to surf shack so she can grab a sangria. (im completely sober now in case you were curious). we head back to her house, have a stella or two, she gets ready and we debate over which sweater she should wear. we have a serious issue with putting on clothes to go out, as we cant make decisions. so, to WOB we go! we met up with our coworker, and start having a grand old time. he keeps disappearing in and out though, playing shuffleboard, which i have no idea how to play. Alex keeps being a pussy, not just saying anything to cute bartender,so i keep teasing her. we meet the nicest older black man with an interesting accent, his name is chris. he dances a lot, and pretty decently (not like ghetto dancing though) and him and alex dance. he gets me to dance a little too. He comes up to me and puts his arm around me and says the funniest thing, he asks me if she should ask. ask what im thinking? nd eh says, she has such beautiful eyes and wonderful lips, should i ask her for a kiss or just take one. so, being the smart ass i am, i say he should probably ask. well, he asked me to kiss him. by the way, i dont think you should have to ask. if you think you have to ask, you shouldnt do it. but anyways, i give him a kiss on the cheek and head on my way. while dancing, the guys at the table next to us start a conversation. turns out one of them is florida born, as am i, and we chit chat about that. they’re in their mid 30’s, but they seem nice. they have a bottle of polish vodka on their table, as it’s one mans birthday. so we chill and talk, and eventually make our way into blend, which is next door to world of beer. stephen is playing shuffleboard, and this nice black guy comes up ti me. micah is his name. he probably introduced himself about four or five times this night. he asks where my boyfriend is, and naturally i say not here, i dont have one. this man then assumes alex and i are “together” LOL can’t say im surprised though. i’m kind of blaking on where alex is at this time, i think she’s kinda sitting by me though. this man asks me to dance, and just repeatedly keeps hitting on me. now, i remember alex wanting to finish her beer so she can go next door and chat with the cute bartender. so i grab her beer and drink most of it,just to make her go. she needed a push. this micah character keeps trying to talk to me, steady throughout the night, but knows he’ being a self proclaimed “d-bag”. i try to talk to him and ask whether he wants people to perceive him that way, but he gets frustrated and walks away. I kind of start chatting with the boy next to me. he’s kind of cute. alex has been gone for a while, but i figure she’s just having a good time. micah comes back, and is persistent as ever, so i look to the boy next to me, who’s jay, and mouth “help”. it’s silly, but it works, he goes and gets me a bottle of water, and now micah thinks he’s my boyfriend. and he questions me, and questions me. and i ask jay to go have a cigarette with me. micah wants to come, and i kind of try to avoid him and tell him im just going with jay. well, i thank him. he’s sweet. apparently he works in the plaza. I ask his age, and he says he’s 20, which really surprises me considering he’s at a bar, just like i am, underage. so i giggle and tell him im 19. apparently his birthday is the 4th, mine is the 6th. we’re both scorpios. after we go back in, he saves me a seat, alex is finally back! (i just showed alex i started my tumblr, and we high fived. i said it was so long, and naturally she comes back with a that’s what she said, thats our life). anyways, by now im kinda drunk. it’s a bit blurry. i remember jay saying he’s leaving and asks for my phone number, so i give it to him. he texts me a smiley face, and i say bac that hes very cute, and thanks for saving me! he returns with “right back at you ;) and you’re welcome, sorry i cant be there to save you now lol” we text a little, and he’d like ot see me again, i remembere dhim saying something about coming to pay shuffleboard every tuesday, so i said maybe i’ll see him next tuesday. he says thats great, or maybe on one of his days off! so, we have a date tomorrow. turns out alex’s cute bartender si a super douchebag who only likes drunk girls. well eff him. new story time.
