the single chronicles:part one...
i'd like to introduce i new series...created my whoelse but me :)...inspired by fun nights out with friends and the fact that i'm in fact (no surprise to those actually reading this) SINGLE!!! and have been single all my 24 years of life..and have now come to terms with and fully appreciating my singledomness (is that even a word??!!?)....
so this is not gonna to be or meant to be a bitter young woman griping and ranting about how her life sucks cause she's single...no not this chick...it's more of a celebration..
celebration of freedom, learning about myself and what i have to offer, learning how to connect with people spritually, emotionally, intellectually, and physically... i could probably think of more but just those alone are sufficiant enough to make my point...
so shall we start with last night... i think we should...
friday, june 19th, 2009
it's 630 and i'm waiting for one of my friends to come pick me up for dinner. she's one of my best friends. i have a couple. one's married with two beautiful children, another i dormed with in college and is a successful working woman and this friend i've known since elementary, middle and highschool.so we go way back.
i texted her the day before and invited her to dinner. an ex co-worker invited me for dinner at a thai resturant with a few other of my ex co-worker friends. didn't have to ask me twice. i was down.
so here i am waiting for my girl to come pick me up. i'm excited and ready. i'm wearing a comfy/casual dress..hair up in a fun pony.i smell good. i'm ready.
i always get excited before i go out on a night in downtown. i always know 1.) there's gonna be good food, 2.) there's gonna be good drinks, 3.) most likely good music or other forms of entertainment, 4.) i'm with good company, and 5.) eye candy :).
my friend pulls up about a quater to seven and off we go from the windward side of the island to the heart downtown honolulu. destination: thai resturant. arrive at destination about a quarter after seven. we walked into a small but quaint resturant,meeting up with the already seated party of five.before seating though i had to hug my cute little korean ex co-worker/friend because she's so fun!
met a new person at the table. he was a guy. a friend of an acquaintance. kind of wierd/ quirky persian dude probably in his thirties. he didn't hold anything back as he looked across the table, alternating between my friend and i. told us blurps how he lived in canada and NC, had a 9 year old kid in atlanta that he doesn't see ( ackward moment), taught math at local highschools and threw some kids ipod against the wall during class ( another ackward moment), and was a druggie (wow!). me and my friend pleasantly nodded in between spicy thai curry and noodles sneaking glances of communication in between. then the dude was creepingly eyeing a petite asain girl across the resturant (side eye). yeah he was an interesting character.
an hour later after splitting the bill 7 ways, and deciding to meet another at a bar, we parted ways with this ex-cracked out single parent persian math teacher (don't know how else to describe him. shoot me.)
me and my friend commented on him in the car on the way to the bar. but first we had to hit the bathroom and atm. on the way to the bar we had an interesting conversation about how glad we were to be single. interesting.
arrived at the bar around 1000. had to pay 6 dollars for parking. I scrummaged in the wallet for change and between the two of us we mustered up the 6 dollars as i lamented about the wackness of paying 6 dollars for measley parking. we laughed along the way as cute korean ex/coworker/friend called me on my phone, hurrying us into the bar.
in the bar we met up with the others as our party grew. mingled around. got drinks. mine was rum and coke to which the bartender replied or corrected; "coke and rum" (WTH)..anyways drinking, talking and mingling. my other ex-coworker/friend ( the one that invited me out) began to tell me about how this girl he was interested in just turned him down again. his words exactly: "I mean how are you gonna tell me the day before that you're ready for a relationship and then the next day call me and tell me you're not."
me: how old is she again
him: 25 and she's been kinda of second guessing herself lately. not thinking teaching is for her...
me: hmmmm...well.. dude.. i can kinda see where she's coming from. i mean we're about the same age. maybe she's just doesn't know what she wants yet. and if one area of your life is lining up the way you want(future career teaching in this case) then how can you expect other aspects to follow suit (meaning relationships).
him: i see what you're saying but why can't i be the one to help her through her situation .
sweet huh. girl probably is missing out on one of the most sincere dudes i know. but i have know idea what she's going through and what she's thinking. maybe like i told him before, it's just not the right time for THEM or as i proposed to this night, maybe she's just not the right one for you and there is someone out there who is ready for what you want at this time.
but we went on with the night having enjoying drinks and the company of others. knowing me good and well i was in full scan mode the whole night. was there anything worthy. hmmmm not really. there were two attractive guys but there style were really alternative with jeans tighter then the one's i wear..huh...yeah the crowd was "different". then the ska band came on and some pretty whack dancers came out..it was a few of them mostly white dudes with no rhythm what so ever. most of the other dudes just looked on at the band nodding their head.
I however, and my cute little korean friend took the dancefloor over.it was fun. we twirled, shook out buts, did the darn thing. and i didn't care who was watching. yeah it would be cool if some fine dude came out of the woodworks with some rhythm and grabbed me by the waist..but did that happen..no..was i sad.. heck NO!! so i grabbed cute little korean friend's hand and we danced the night away. we leave the bar four girls strong. me, my friend, cute korean friend, and my other friend i met at work (also from korea) and with smile on our faces..
so this is not gonna to be or meant to be a bitter young woman griping and ranting about how her life sucks cause she's single...no not this chick...it's more of a celebration..
