I got a text from bio-cuz (henceforth, "RS") on Sunday morning, saying they were going to a bar downtown for bloody marys and darts, and invited me down. I was a bit late, but made it. Turns out, the girl I went to high school with that was there for the b-day party was with them again, and I guess they hang out all the time (just thought it was interesting). Anyway, I had a diet coke & ended up shooting darts with them for a bit( cricket, I think it's called?). Turns out, I'm a fairly good dart player (they said darts must run in the family - RS is pretty good too!).
I excused myself around 2p or so, saying I was meeting some friends up at the Pub. It wasn't exactly a lie, as I see these guys up there every weekend, but it's not like I had "plans" to meet them, I really just wanted to go up there for lunch and to hopefully talk to one of the cute waitresses who's always there. I thought for a minute I'd made a mistake, because it turns out RS's g/f is good friends with one of the guys, and they decided to meet at the pub when they were done with darts. He didn't show, so it wasn't an issue, but it had me a bit nervous. I also discovered that they're all a bunch of drunks! Heh, well, I don't know that, but they started at 11a with bloody marys, switched to beer at the dart place, then ended up getting a bunch more beer & appetizers at the pub. They were pretty lit by that time (one guy especially), and I found it a little difficult to tolerate him. RS was fine, although a bit buzzed as well. I don't know how much I'll be able to hang with them if they drink like that all the time!?
Anyway, it came up that RS's dad & uncle (brothers of my bio-dad) will be shooting darts at a dive bar downtown tonight. RS thought it would be really cool if I came down to meet them, and I told him I would. I don't expect much from it though - I can see how a cousin might think it was cool that we're related, but it's possible it might be tough on brothers, especially since he died so young (He was 30, as I've been told). Anyway, I can imagine it might be awkward for them, so I'll be ready for that. Of course, I'm also open to it being a good time, and a great, positive meeting, either way.
I'm also supposed to go to the pub tonight to see one of the waitresses who just started bartending a few months ago (the one I've got the biggest crush on - there are a couple others, but... anyway, I'm still trying to come up with a nickname for her). I told her yesterday I would stop by, but I'm not sure I'll be able to. I've got to get my workout in, and I've got to meet RS by 10p. The only time I could go would be right after work, but I don't really want to lift heavy shit on a full stomach. I guess maybe I'll have to skip going this time!? :-(
Also, I'm debating whether to send a facespace message to Bo's friend I ran into the other night. She never checks it (so she says) so I don't know if it would be worth it, but I didn't think to give her my number this time, and I'd like to hang out with her again, rather than just waiting months to randomly run into her again. Should I bother? Last time (last year?) I tried sending her a couple texts and never got a reply. I'm pretty sure now that she got a new number after her breakup, which would explain the lack of reply, but that feeling is still with me, and makes me hesitant (nervous?) to put myself out there again, even for something as simple as a cell number. I should just do it anyway, what's the worst that can happen, right?
p.s. I still haven't fixed/replaced the coffee machine, but have come up with a poor-man's way of making coffee that turns out to be pretty good! I'll see if i can get a video of it up soon. I just might not bother with buying another machine, or a french press, or anything!
