Bug Jar

So, this was definitely an..interesting night.

Started out with the new guy friend that I secretly like, watching a movie (Young Frankenstein) and having dinner. Even that was fun because it was the first time that he had ever hung out at my place so I was happy. Stupid girl.

Then we made our way to this punk/metal bar downtown in the city for a show and oh my god, he drives like a maniac but his van is pimpin. He's got white lights running the whole length of the van, on the inside so it looks like a freaking limo. Wicked. We ended up having to drive 20 minutes downtown to find a place to park his huge ass van and hide our stuff so it wouldn't get stolen. Fun.

The bar was just so hardcore I felt like this preppy loser, even the friend I was with was dressed more appropiately. I will make it my mission to find that old black leather jacket of mine. I must. Grr. Anyway.

The music was just...insane, more or less. I enjoyed it but I'm just not used to that style and I actually spent the night downing down drinks and cocktails to make it more bearable. At least the drinks were cheap! The best part of that was definitely getting to hang with him and see what he was into and sharing it. Funnily enough, we both discovered another thing we had in common when we were standing on the sidewalk outside between sets: we are both ex-hardcore smokers that had just recently attempted to quit. I was like, 'oh man, it's so hard being outside with all of these smokers!' and he was all confused and said, "Why?" I said, "Oh, well because I used to smoke all the time and I just quit full-time" and he laughed and was like, "Me too!" Then we got on the topic of weed and he admitted to me that he used to smoke it all the time and apologized if that was going to bother me (which I thought was cute). I was like, 'naaawww'. He's such a sweetheart despite being a metal/punk/rave guy.

Also, it was funny because the whole night he kept fidgeting with his ear because his hearing aid kept going in and out soundwise and I'm like, 'awww.' because I've had that happen to me too. It was just like looking at myself.

I was getting so tipsy towards the end of the night at the bar (after having had 3 beers and a cocktail made out of vodka, jaggermeister, bourbon and some italian liquor..WHOO) that the room was starting to spin and I was struggling to focus. Luckily, I made it out just fine and he was tired too so we left the show early to catch our breath and as soon as we felt good, we drove back home and spent a few hours watching another movie in my room, munchies on some late night food and discussing a possible visit together with some friends to see a big outdoor concert next summer.

Oh, and he spent some time showing me this music program he uses to create his songs and I was having so much fun listening to him work the program and create these cool sound effects.

And then he decided to dress up and pretend he was an arab (poor taste i know but we were kind of still buzzed hahaha) and we took pictures.

Fun times...fun times, geeky-alcohol-music infused fun. :)

And the whole time I was crushing on him so bad. Ugh. I'm afraid to tell him how I feel because I don't want to jeopardize my friendship with him because I really enjoy his company and we have so much in common.

Damn those cute ice blue eyes and that smirk.

Overall though.....a great night!

Here's a photo of the lamps from the bar we went to called Bug Jar.

Here's one of the photos I took of Brian posing as an Islamic Terrorist...and failing badly at that. hahaha.
