No. 75: wo Guys, a Girl, and a Nightmare

Last night was so necessary. Except for the whole sitting in traffic for an hour and a half and having to pee so bad I thought that my bladder was going to explode, causing sickness and death. But I made it to Chez Morgenthaler. The Mrs. and I chatted for a while before the boys showed up (I love that woman, seriously). Brian, James and Geof bought a bunny for one of James's friends. It's the cutest thing in the universe. "Thumper". We got cash together, and I had him over my shoulder, like the silly hipster chick joke that I am, and this girl waiting behind me goes, "AWWWW! bUN-EEE!" in the silliest voice I've ever heard. Pretty cute.

After a chip-finding debacle (seriously, who hosts a poker game and forgets to have chip sets ready?!), we went to James's, and started this gorgeous game of two tables of six. I would have to say that I drew for the "kids table" inside, and had two boys not cashed out anyway, I would've cleaned up shop. But people left and we moved to the "big boys table", and I didn't do too bad. $27 . Brian, on the other hand, cashed out with about $115. That's my boy. Sam made a gorgeous come back froma $1 and walked out with about $30. Proud of him, I must say. Tall, ungainly, and a little unpredictable in his betting, but he shaped up for the table.

Brian and I drove around listening to Jay-Z to and from, and it was ridiculous to watch my pasty man friend singing Jay-Z songs. "I want to BE Jay-Z. How gangster am I?" I couldn't break his fragile heart.

I do realize how much I talk about B. It's because he's my best friend and if I'm not at school, with Mom, or with Tess (which is harder to be now because of Alirio), I'm with him and (usually) Greg. But we refer to each other with terms of endearment, and last night, White Dan (he's Korean, his Mazda, as opposed to "Black Dan"'s, is white), goes "Oh so you've known Brian a long time? Are you two dating?" Geof and I both go "NOoo!"For all those curious as to the situation, to clarify: I am not Brian's girlfriend, nor am I just his friend. I am Trifecta, I am "his girl". Much better situation.

Awkwardest moment:
Sam: Wow, how bent are you about Matt?
Me: I'm not bent. We were just together for a year, and I'm mad that everything reminds me of him.
Sam: Listen, you two just hurt each other, and he got lucky and found this adorable Asian girl named Tiffany and lived happily ever after and you didn't.
Me: [spluttering]
Geof: Dude, SHUT up. [Stares Sam down]
Table: [Moment of Silence]
White Dan: Alright, so it's your bet, Geof.
Table: [Breaks the awkwardness]

Had a Matt nightmare last night, another freezing me out dream. I woke up grumpy. But I've shaken it off and now I'm going to go drink tea and talk with my delightful Mommy. Hopefully venturing about with my boys today. Or shopping!
