April Fool's has come and passed, you're the biggest fool at last! I just got a call from Emily a few minutes ago and she wants me to accompany her and some guy to her pool bar in Archer. She wants to try her luck. Not that this has anything to do with the first sentence, but I said that I'd come along.
It's all quite interesting. She finally told Chris essentially that she's not going to go out with him, but still wants to be his friend (i.e. still wants him to do her Calculus homework!). I called her house last night, which is surprising because it's something I rarely ever do. I had a question about which class we were going to take together in the fall, but she wasn't home. Well Emily just showed up...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, now back to earlier today. Emily called some time around three, ten minutes before I got home. It was essentially too late now because I already registered. I still wanted to talk to her though. Jon gave me the message that I am supposed to call her back, and i did. She was cleaning her pool, but talked to me for quite a while anyway. I told her that I just saw Pablo again. I was coming home from Calculus, just thinking how I'm starting to build up a lot of acquaintances all over campus. I looked by a tree and saw Christina from German. I stopped and we talked about the test. She was just waiting for a ride out to her car on the far side of campus. She later said that she could see her ride coming, and I looked up realizing that it was Pablo! When he showed up I asked him what was up and we shook hands and talked for a second. Christina thought it was really cool that we knew each other. The entire ordeal was pretty funny. It's weird how the people you know will know each other. Emily said that he's been talking about this blonde for a couple of months now since he met her.
She asked me what I was doing tonight, and I said nothing, because we all have something big planned for tomorrow night. We talked a little bit longer before I let her et back to her work, and me to my sleep. I actually had a couple of things planned for tonight. They were showing Aladdin and another movie on their big outdoor movie screen tonight. I wished I would have thought of that on the phone, because I would have invited her. There also was a free reggae and dance party and the Orange and Brew German club. If I would have stuck around, I probably would have gone with Cecil and Dave, and about three girls. I would have caused Chris and maybe Jon to go too instead of sitting at home studying like they did.
Instead, I got another phone call from Emily! She woke me up at about 7:30. That is when she said that she was going with a friend named Carl to her little pool bar in Archer, and then talked me into going. It was cool because, pathetically, this is the first time that I've had a girl calling me on a weekend asking me to go out with her who wasn't directly related to one of my roommates, like Valerie. It's even better because I really had nothing to do with it, never saying that I wasn't need of anything to do tonight. I was so happy. She said that it is a hick bar, and I excitedly asked if I could wear my flannel, and she said yes, because she is. She was even going to pick out one for me, but I went ahead because I wanted to be ready when they got here. I didn't know how Carl would be, possibly protective, not wanting to waste his time in some other guys room. I wore a pair of Jonny's jeans with the cool discolorations where your wallet and keys are in your pockets, just like a hick's. I also wore my leather hiking boots.
Anyway, I had a pretty awesome time! Carl, was a bit of a nerd but he was pretty cool and has my sense of humor, although toned down a bit. He's the one that gives her little neck and back messages. I'm going to look for an opportunity as soon as possible to give her one of my massages. Abby is always the first person to pop into my mind, but I just remembered that I gave a couple of good ones to Valerie. No wonder Ed was jealous. Anyway, we drove out to Archer in Carl's old little Celica. I had to scrunch into the back seat. The little hole in the wall town only has two traffic lights and is quite a ways out past the interstate. It reminded me of the trip to Newberry when we went spelunking. Emily gave one revelation, when she's with other people and it's dark, she always has to pee!!! I don't know, maybe that will come in handy someday.
The bar was actually much nicer than I had expected. They had an entire eating area, with glazed cypress tables. They had a big screen TV with a hockey game on, and a jukebox full of country music. The pool room had two fifty cent tables, and wonderfully wasn't filled with very much smoke. With the music, it was a pretty cool atmosphere. The hicks were pretty nasty, though. We didn't quite fit in because the two of them dressed too preppy and my clothes were clean. Emily had on black jeans, instantly ruining the hick look, and an undershirt, a big no-no. She actually looked really pretty this evening. She did her makeup just right so that her eyes seemed to sparkle. I was impressed. Emily and I were joking around that I wasn't allowed to flirt with the locals, especially the big fat hairy drunk ones.
Emily put down dibs on one table where two fat girls were playing pretty awfully. I really liked the place because almost everybody there, even the guy patrons are only as good as Emily, except for this one guy. It makes for a more relaxed atmosphere when there aren't a couple of people kicking everybody's ass. Emily won her first game, and then played Carl. I didn't have any quarters because I didn't know that I'd need them. Carl spotted me two without me even asking. It was pretty cool. I then played the best game that I've ever played against Emily! And what an awesome place to do so! I made one awesome run of at least three balls! I was playing damn good with everybody watching! She beat me with just one ball left on the table! I was really happy. She complimented me on a lot of my shots as well.
I had one beer, a Budweiser, and shared some with Emily. It tasted pretty damn good. It was the first Bud I've ever had. Busch can make beer! Emily would start getting a little tense, and we'd do our best to cheer her up. She remained happy all evening, which was really cool. Carl and I kept up on the hockey game throughout the night, and talked about basketball. I told him to realize how lucky we are, because we're leaving tonight with the best looking girl in the place!
