Friday night at work was a bit frustrating. It was nice because I got to see Jake when I got to work and right before he left but that was it. Work itself was intense. We were a bit short. I kept calling Jake to help get me through it, and kept having to remind myself I had a 3 day weekend ahead of me. To top off the whole mess, the Ex, whom I have not heard from since Tuesday that week when I told him I was going to start dating other people sent a text message. Something about hating me and never contacting him again - so why contact me to begin with?
I went over to Jakey's as planned where he had 3 bottles of my fave Lambic beer waiting for me, and met Johnny, Bubba and Mel. Bubba (no clue what his real name is) and Mel left and Johnny, Jakey and I went to play darts at a nearby bar. Actually, first they had to pry me away from the Megatouch machine where I had made 3 top scores on 3 different games with only $1. And I even had to waste my last credit because the boys made me stop playing. Throughout all of this I was still receiving texts and phone calls from the Ex, and I could tell Jake wasn't appreciating it and Johnny was getting frustrated for him. It went all until the next morning even.
I stayed the night as we had planned and Jake got up early to cook. I was yelling and arguing over the phone when he came into the room to serve me my breakfast. (Eli guess what I had for breakfast! Corned beef hash with potatoes, sunny side up eggs and croissant.) Anyway, Jake is really good at understanding when I don't want to talk, but he was also really good at being there when I just needed to let the whole thing pour out. I don't remember exactly but I do believe I started sobbing and hyperventilating and he basically just held me until I realized I was soaking his shirt up and had to pull myself together.
By the time I was out of the shower and in my "IRISH" shirt people started dropping by. Including his dad, which I gave him a hard time for not giving me notice for. A major plus though, I pulled him aside and told him I really needed a smoke but have not had one so his dad wouldn't have to see. What response do I get? "You're a big girl." What a breath of fresh air. Someone that can hold his own and will let me hold mine. And he doesn't even smoke himself. Seems small to some but means so much to me. Of course, I still snuck around like a little theif but I think his dad knew what we kept stepping outside for. Jake prepared corned beef and cabbage, Shepperd's Pie, and some other Irish meals I can't name enough for 20 people it seemed. The Shepperd's Pie was my favorite. We listened to Irish music and watched watched Boondock Saints about two Irish brothers who go around Boston killing mafia members. It seriously rocked.
Of course I took a nap in the middle of everything, and didn't wake up until I heard one of Jakey's friend say something about Chinese people being lazy, Jakey saying something about me not being Chinese but he wasn't sure if Chinese poeple were lazy and I yell from inside the room "What about the Great Wall of China F-ers!" Good times! Actually, while I was trying to nap, Jakey came in the bedroom to have a talk with me. Yeah, everyone knows I cringe when people need to "talk". Bottom line, we made ourselves official. Yay!
Got up from my nap with my hair all a mess, but Jakey wouldn't let me run to the mall to have it done. He said water, and a comb. Men! If you notice in the pics, when we finally got to go out I have my hair in a pony tail. That's what happened. A couple more people dropped in, including Jakey's mom who was absolutely sweet. She first wanted to complement my Ireland sweater, then she realized it was Jakey's old sweater.
It was a pretty laid back day. We all went to Loft 150 since Jakey is friend's with someone in Big Fat Fun. We played pool, and sometime during the night I lost control of my cam and got the weirdest shots. Oh, and the video up top, that's Bubba lipsyncing. =D
Anyway, today was meant to tackle homework but spent mostly on cleaning up the site, getting the pics from the weekend uploaded, and dealing with the Ex. He goes from "never wanting to speak again" to calling me because he's too drunk to drive, to needing me and wanting to marry me but I'm not worth the ring just use the one he bought me before, to dying without me, and now I'm a whore. It's like going through our 2 and a half year relationship all in one morning.
But that's his problem now, isn't it? I'm going to brew some hot tea, write in my journal while I smoke a cig outside, and then I'm starting a new scrapbook for my new life.
BTW, Becky, Carla mentioned driving with Paul up to Memphis and letting him on his own while we're all out, per chance I might bring the new guy and see how well he plays with the other boys. Just a thought, we don't even know if he can get off work yet.
Ah, speaking of bachelorettes, we happned by one last night. They kept coming back to Jakey because there was a line on the bride-to-be's shirt where someone had to show the girl a six pack and they said there was no one else in the bar with a six pack except for Jakey and Jakey kept refusing. Anyway, I made it so he can do atleast one of the things on the shirt handed him a condom which he had to blow up and sign for the bachelorette. That was fun, though I think it embarassed him a bit having all that attention.
He's adorable. I'm lucky. Oh, and speaking of luck, while playing pool last night, right in front of me a penny heads up. I can't wait to see what else is coming my way.
