As I said yesterday, I never rains it pours

Last night my plan was to hang with GB and the bartender of my dreams and potentially, ask the boy out. At 5pm that all changed with a surprise phone call from Fireboy telling me that he was in town for the day and would love to see me if I had a moment.

I immediately ditched work, met with Fireboy and his buddy and we went to a pub for some pizza, beer and to find out how/why the hell he was in twon. We were joined by some uber-geeks that couldn’t stop talking about the internet, the fury community and the geek pyramid (I can’t believe I just went looking for that on the internet.)

After dinner and two pints we(Fireboy, his buddy and I) headed off to see GB and the bartender of my dreams(BoMD). On our way I had to tell Fireboy that as great as it is to see him, I am totally crushing on the BoMD so he needed to keep his hands to himself as long as we were in BoMD’s company. Fireboy, being the lovely gentleman that he is, agreed to be a hands off date for the evening and we wandered up to the bar.

No one else was there so the five of us started buying rounds for one another. Over the course of the evening everyone took their turn buying a drink for the crowd so by the time we left we all had 5 beers in us (plus the two I had at dinner). Needless to say we were all a little tipsy.

We left BoMD, well actually he had to go so we locked up and then, Fireboy’s buddy started holding my hand and showing interest in me and Fireboy started showing interest in GB. At this point we all realized we should go home as it was almost 1am and GB and I had to work in the morning and Fireboy had a 7am flight to catch. Fireboy and I did manage to find a few minutes to kiss and catch up before GB told us to get a room – ah if only we had the time. But we didn’t so we kissed a few more times goodbye, gave each other the okay to explore with our friends, should we want to in the future, and parted. GB and I into one cab and Fireboy and his buddy to another.

I still haven’t gotten up the nerve to ask out BoMD but I will soon, I hope. I did manage to time a trip to the bathroom just right so I ran into him in the hall but I chickened out and didn’t make a move. I also knew at that point I was a bit drunk and I kinda want to do this on the up and up and not involve the liquor as the catalyst. OOhh! But I did find out that he is 26, and likes to date older women. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Anyway, all in all a very surreal night, the kind of evening that leads to a blog like this.

Tired but still smiling at my desk.
