Here is an update on my weekend, seeing as how I did not post anything. I am going to include Thursday as well though. You may want to read the disclaimer under the disclaimer category.
Thursday:
Worked a double at Bonfire. Ended up leaving with 135 dollars for my total tips that day. I was happy, however I feel that I was there a little to long because the shift I picked up was a closing shift and my last table just sat there for awhile, so I had to wait so I could put the chairs up.
Friday:
Worked another double at Bonfire, serving during the lunch shift and then food running during dinner. After work I sat down and the manager bought me a beer. Then the bar manager bought me a beer. So I had two tall beers, which is a total of 4 beers. I also had something to eat and some water because I had to drive home.
Now, some of you who are not 21 yet, JOE, may think that I am now a lush because I write about drinking...However I am not drinking in access. Since my birthday I have gotten drunk about two times so pooh on you.
After that I got a call from my friend Jenny. That night was her power two-hour and she wanted to go out for one drink. So we decided to head into Apple Valley and we first went to Old Chicago, however they said it was illegal to serve her the night before her birthday. I politely reminded the waitress that it was technically the next day and she still said no. So we went next door to Grizzly's and they were so much nicer there. They said they would serve us as long as Jenny was not doing too many shots. That was fine seeing as how no one with us wanted shots.
This normally would have been a day Jenny was looking forward to, however on her birthday her family decided to hold her grandfather's funeral. Great day huh? The bartender at Grizzly's felt sorry for her so she bought us a pitcher of beer. We also got an appetizers and gave her over 100% as a tip.
Remember when I said great day? Wait it gets better.
Saturday:
I woke up late and proceeded over to the funeral home for Jenny's grandfather's funeral. I ended up entering the home just in time to hear the end of Jenny's speech. She was crying. The service was really nice. The priest was telling this story about a woman who wanted to buried with a spoon and when asked why she said because when I would go to church dinners and I was told I could keep my spoon it meant something great was coming for desert. Not just a cookie or a muffin, but something good, like cake or pie. She wanted to be buried with the spoon to remind her family and friends to not be upset, but happy because she was on her way to a great desert.
After the service I helped Jenny bring the flowers to her brothers car so they could bring them to the other church for the luncheon. I left after that was done and went home to clean a bit and then to pick up my Grandma for dinner at my Aunts house. Dinner was good, then we left so I could go out with Jenny because it was now her birthday and we were going to go to seven corners.
Jenny's mom drove us into Minneapolis and we were going to take a cab back to my apartment and everyone was going to sleep there. Three people were going to meet us at the bars, Allison, Ananda and her friend John. As you may have read earlier in my blog, Ananda has a way of alienated herself from her friends, and so we were all "really pumped" that she was going to come. Half of us thought she was going to call back and say "oh I’m not coming” The other half said no she will probably come thinking that everything is ok, or if she has caught on she will think that this reaffirms our friendship and makes everything better. SORRY BUT I AM GOING TO BRING OUT THE OLD DRAMA ALRET HERE. I don't think I can have an entry talking about Ananda and not have drama in it. She seems to breed it, and I am a gay guy so it’s hard to get away from it.
Jenny's mom drove us to Grandmas and that is the first place we went. We got a little confused though because no one knew the bar part was downstairs. We finally found it and got inside. They had dollar bottles of Mich. Golden Light, I was very happy. We started to drink when a big bus of guys came in, it turned out to be a bachelor party. The bachelor came in wearing huge blow up boobies, which he let me fondle. Then his friends wanted Jenny to dance with him so they bought her a shot. She was a little reluctant at first and then finally gave in. At that bar I had four beers, Jenny had three and the shot, and I don't remember about every one else. One thing about Grandma's was that there was sure a lot of cock in there that night. I would have been in heaven but none of them seemed to be of the gay persuasion.
Next we went to Bullwinkel's because a guy I work with told me to go there and ask for his friend Jason, because he would hook us up. And Jason came through he bought us a pitcher and I bought another one. So we had to go upstairs to find a place to sit down because it was somewhat crowded in there. This is where Ananda joined us, and it seemed that she immediately tried to take charge of Jenny's birthday. Throwing out different bar names that were not anywhere near where we were and then offering to drive when I told her they were not close. The whole point of going out for Jenny's birthday, anyone’s birthday it to do what THEY want to, not what you want to. We went to seven corners so we could walk to many other bars and then go home.
I think Jenny got a little bit upset and then she left to go to the bathroom, although she probably also had to pee. After she was gone for awhile, I also had to go to the bathroom, so I went downstairs and I saw her sitting at a table. I was like, what are you doing down here? She told me she fell down the stairs and sprained her ankle. So when I was done I told everyone she fell and that we should move the party downstairs. When we got her to a new table she lifted up her pants so we could see her ankle, it was extremely swollen. So Jenny asked for ice from a guy who was sitting at the bar. He then asked the bartender for the ice and the bartender saw her ankle and handed her the ice. That was all he did. He did not come out to check if she was ok, he did not have her sign anything documenting that she was hurt on their property, and when we were leaving to take Jenny to the emergency room he did not clean up the ice that spilled all over the floor, nor did he offer to buy us a cab. Good thing Ananda had not drank anything at the moment.
As we were driving Ananda kept saying to Jenny, "Oh you probably just sprained it” At this point Jenny is upset and crying, she felt like she ruined her birthday for us, so we told her that this wasn't her birthday...It was simply a slightly wet run. (I say wet because it wasn't dry since we had been drinking
They took her into the ER and Jenny wanted me to wait in the back for her. She told me to tell everyone to go home, she didn't want them to stay. So I went out and two had already left, while Leah, John, and Ananda were still there. They were hesitant about leaving and I said while why don't you leave for a bit, get some coffee and then come back. They agreed. While they were gone Jenny said, "I don't care if Leah stays but I want Ananda gone, I don't want her here."
So when they came back Leah came into the ER area, which I was ok with cause it wasn't Ananda. Then the guy at the front desk said one of the other friends wants to talk to you. "Oh great," I thought. So I went out there and talked to Ananda and told her again she doesn't want you guys to wait here for her she said to go home. Ananda said no; no I'll stay. Not getting the hint that Jenny just wants YOU gone.
So then we sit there a bit longer and she comes up with the idea that she should go back there and see Jenny. I said, "No, I think you can only have one person back there at a time, Leah is back there with her right now, so she is fine” Ananda responds with, "Oh the guy said you could have two, so I think I will go back there." What was I supposed to say, I let her go.
Leah came out later saying that Jenny was back from x-ray. So I sat outside and talked to her for awhile cause she wasn't feeling good. Ananda came out later and said dramatically, "Yup she broke it, it’s broke, yeah broke” Not nicely like, "Oh I feel so bad for her she broke it." Apparently Jenny said when Ananda was back there all she could talk about was last week when her Dad cut himself and she went to the ER with him. When Ananda found out about Jenny's Grandpa, all she could do was talk about when her Grandma died, and when Ananda heard Jenny broke her fibula, "Oh I knew it, I knew it was broken, as soon as I looked at it, I just knew, I knew.” WHAT EVER YOU FUCKING BITCH YOU DIDN"T KNOW YOU SAID IT LOOKED SPRAINED! AND WHEN A FRIEND CRIES TO ANOTHER FRIEND OR IS IN SOME KIND OF PAIN, LISTEN TO THAT FRIEND! DON'T SIT THERE AND TALK ABOUT YOUR SIMLIAR EXPERIENCES
YOU EXPECT US TO SIT THERE AND LISTEN TO YOU TALK ABOUT RANDY BEING AN ASS, BUT WHEN WE HAVE A PROBLEM "THATS YOUR CHOICE"
I have problems meeting people=my choice because I obviously don't need to work or go to class.
Jenny didn't want to move in with her verbally abusive father=her choice because while she wont be working next year because she is student teaching and going to a few classes, she could always afford to move into her own place.
ANANDA, STAYING WITH RANDY IS YOUR CHOICE YOU COULD EASY BREAK UP WITH HIM AND IT WOULD NOT AFFECT YOU ECONOMICALLY.
Ananda ended up leaving shortly after with John and Leah cause Leah did not feel well.
Jenny is going into surgery today to have a plate and a bolt put into her leg, becuase she craked it all the way up her leg. She is also prone to blood clots so surgery is good cause she will heal faster and then be able to move around. Last time I talked to her she said she did not want to sue, but at this point I think her parents might be having different thoughts.
Sunday:
I got a call from Jenny's mom who was grateful that I stayed with Jenny all night and that I had gone to the funeral as well. This is when she offered me two tickets to the closing night of Phantom of The Opera. I reluctantly accepted because I felt it was unnessary. I frantically started calling people to go with. I tried Leah cause she wanted to see it and she was at the Er with me, but I think she was working. Then I tried my friend Tom, who Jenny really likes. It took awhile but I finally got a hold of Tom and he was really excited to go with me. Actually just really excited to go. So we went and the show was great. Then we went to Applebee's to eat, and finally the 90's for two hours.
