Gee, this was a different weekend....
I was off work Friday due to the lil' holiday thing they're pitchin' at LP, so i woke up and (since i knew that i was doin' SOMETHING this weekend) started lookin' at m'finances...mom asked me what she was doin' cuz i'd whipped out th'calculator....i was tellin' her that i was tryin' to figure out my expenses for th'week...which went like this:
50 dollar house contribution
100 dollar savings deposit
X amount for groceries for th'week
leftover=playmoney
mom's response "wait a minute....you're actually budgeting your money?"
"Yeah...is that bad?"
"Hold on"
she runs off, and calls Chip (who did have to work, but was bored off his ass cuz he was part of a skeleton crew maintenance team, and since part of his team didn't show, he got to sit on his ass for 12 hours (but he made 500 dollars in one day so i'd understand why he stayed)..."i think stephen got abducted......yeah....he's doin' a budget.......yeah, it's strange as hell ain't it? Hold on, *she informs me that Chip asked 'wait, it's not noon yet (it was actually only 8:30), what's he doin' a wake'?"
"I got up to watch Power Rangers"
"Yup, he's back"
So after that heart attack, i get in touch with Indy (we'd talked about possibly doin' somethin' this weekend 'fore my dad got here, but i didn't have th'money, and she had gotten a sore throat th'night before anyway) and talked to her for a bit, then we went to wally world and i got my groceries for th'week (i basically buy all my daytime food m'self, even the juice i drink....only thing i eat of their groceries now is dinner)...i went a lil' over my grocery budget (partially cuz i bought some extra stuff like toothpaste and some face cleaner, and partially cuz i bought a dvd *coughyugiohthemoviecough*) but that's cool, it just meant a lil' less i had for play money....
newayz, th'rest of friday went by pretty uneventful....i started playin' through Bloodrayne 2 again (since i'd already beat it once) but this time i was alternatin' all th'suits i unlocked and dad got here late in th'evenin'...
Saturday i woke up, watched the remainder of the Power Rangers Dino Thunder marathon (it had been goin' on all week, and was endin' that day) then got ready for m'dad to pick me up (he and Frances had gotten a hotel room)...i was also invited to m'mom's friend Silvia's place....y'see, her two sons are big yugioh fans and i seem to be "the man to beat" 'far as they're concerned...they refer to me as the "Local Kaiba" (i guess just due to mine and th'characters' love for the Blue Eyes White Dragon), which anybody that knows my interest in th'cartoon knows i take as a huge compliment...newayz, Sil's youngest was havin' a birthday party Saturday and wanted me to come cuz he knew he'd get more cards and wanted to use 'em against me.....but i spent time with m'dad....our first stop was to the ATM (i needed some money) and then to Pizza Hut (the one i worked at...Fracnes's idea, not mine)...turns out Isis was there, and gave me the biggest "go to hell" look th'moment we walked in th'door...turns out she happened to be our waitress as well, and so that made things fun....and it didn't help me callin' her by th'wrong name either...whoops...then we left and cruised the cotton exchange for a bit, (one lady in the old time photo place asked me if i was an actor...odd huh?)then went and sat in their hotel room waitin' for evenin' to come so me and dad could go out (Frances said she didn't feel like it, but told me later she wanted to work on dad's christmas present and couldn't do that with him around, and she knew i'd want to spend time just us)....
Our original plan was to go to Reel (the club i danced at a couple weeks ago, and got all that attention)...but in th'process of drivin' around i noticed a strip club not a mile from their room, which i half-jokingly suggested we check out when frances was in th'car....once she was gone, me and dad decided to go (he said he didn't mind, but he knew Frances would so we had to stick to our "reel" story...)...i jumped on th'opportunity due to the fact that Chip's uber-against strip clubs....sayin' he "doesn't see the point of going"....
well, we got there (i paid for the entry) and sat down and had a drink...and about that time they did what they called "girl's choice dances" which means all th'girls walk around and pick people out of the crowd to (for a buck) dance a lil' for...i did a couple, but didn't wanna blow all m'money at one time (or at least, not so early in th'evening)....so after another hour and some change and another drink for me (two for m'dad), one of the dancers came and sat down with us...
"Hey, i'm Raven"
"I'm Stephen....you're name matches your hair" (her hair was long, and jet black)
"Actually my name's Amanda"
*cringe* "i've known a couple amanda's, you were better off with Raven"
So we sat and chatted for a lil' bit, and she noticed my t'shirt...(i was wearin' my black "Freak Show" shirt again, with a white dragon shirt over it, unbuttoned of course) opened my dragon shirt up and read it...
"I love your shirt"
"Thanks..."
"Where'd y'get it?"
"I got it at...*thinks*...goody's i think, i saw it and figured i had to get it"
"Yeah well, it's a shame they won't let y'just take it off, if y'could i'd wear that on stage"
*points out that i have another shirt on* "You say the word you can wear it"
"you serious?"
"will i get it back?"
"Of course"
"then hold on" i go and peel the shirt off and button up the dragon one...come back, hand it to her, she kisses me on th'cheek, runs off and when she sits back down had it on, tied in th'back to show off her belly...i laughed m'ass off and said "y'know, i think that looks better on you"
so we chatted for a lil' bit more (she was supposed to have gone up to dance, but the dj forgot her in th'order, so she had to wait) and then she had to get up to do the lil' every other hour promo thing they're doin' at this club...y'see, normally what they refer to as "Couch dances" was 30 bucks...but for this lil' promo, y'got two dances, plus a calender for 40 bucks....i asked her when she came back to me tryin' to sell th'calendar "do you guys do anything besides calendars?"
"Yeah, we have t-shirts and playing cards too"
"y'get me a shirt, instead of that calendar, y'got a deal"
"no prob, i'll get ya one"
so she did and i got m'shirt and then was escorted to th'back to get my dances...th'whole time thinkin' (or at least 'till i got back there) "Holy shit, this girl's been wearin' my shirt this whole damn time" (she even told me that a couple of the other girls noticed this (and a bouncer) and gave her shit 'bout "claiming a customer" for the night....hey, i gave out money to the other girls too...i was fair!")...anyway while i was gettin' my dances (the first to eminem's "superman" (which she confided she hated...she was a rock kinda girl)...she made a comment along the lines of every guy into different shite....i told her my biggest thing was in bites...she leaned in and whispered to me "You messed up now" and before i could object bit the shit out of my chest...(i have the circle of teethmarks to prove it)...after i got m'breathing back i said "i actually meant my neck" she says "even better, i'm a vampire at heart" and bit me again...this time at my neck and once again, leavin' a bite mark (one i wear as i write this)....after the dances (the seccond was to Rob Zombie's "dragula", and you could tell she preferred that music better) i went back and sat down, she told me in a lil' bit she'd be on stage (she was STILL sittin' over there with me)...and we chatted some more...she told me 'bout her boyfriend, i told her 'bout Stacey, she said she knew that we'd get together, i told her she was wrong just like everybody else that said that, but that i'm sure Red would love t'meet her...she laughed and after a bit got up on stage....each girl on stage does two dances....(both of which there's somebody else up there) one girl is clothed, the other isn't...once the song's over, the clothed one strips and the unclothed one leaves and a new girl comes up....Once Raven's first dance was up, she peeled off my shirt then tossed it to me from the stage (which got noticed according to the cheers in th'crowd)...but her seccond dance was solo to Rammenstein's (sp?) "Feur Frei" (Sp?)....she even winked at me from th'stage during her seccond dance cuz when i tipped her i made the comment of "you do tend to move better to rock doncha?"
shortly after i got my shirt back me and dad, since we were both about tapped 'far as our spending for the night goes, called it a night and once we got to the hotel room (and after i called Red) we crashed....
so yeah...this weeked was different...Dad and Frances left a lil' while ago, and i've already showered...so far today looks like it's goin' to be a lazy day...so i get to get good and rested 'fore i start tens tomorrow.....wish me luck..
-Just a lil' trip inside my head...hope you enjoyed the ride...
