Not Your Average Jane

So New Year's.....

As it turns out I ended up hanging with a bunch of single friends at the Richmond Arms (a British Pub). We had some free cheap champagne and hung out... There was talk of going to another bar but we never did make it there... And so then some of us went over to my friend Jake’s apartment to watch the ball drop.. .

Right after midnight we made various toasts with cheap champagne. I ended up making a mimosa out of mine… But if I remember correctly, (it may have happened at the bar earlier II could be rememebering wrong) somehow the toast for the troops turned into a which branch of the military is the most nuts… (one guy with us was ex – Army, another was ex – Navy) The Marines won… (I’d like to take full credit for that since I nominated them, but once I said Marines, everyone made a face and immediately agreed…) But I gotta say even if they are the craziest dudes on the planet, if I’m in a fight there’s no one I’d like watching my back… One of my best friends married an ex Marine.... And most of his friends are Marines… Former and a few current… Plus a lot of firemen I know used to be Marines too… So I like to think I’ve got a lot of knowledge about what kind of guys they are…

And yes I got kissed after midnight... But I was trying to avoid it, since every other year I get kissed, my love life sucks that whole year... Color me a bit supersitious or paranoid whatever but I'm all for helping that portion of my life as much as possible... :0) Anyway he wasn't that good a kisser... And he was bragging about how good he was later... I so wanted to take him down a notch... But this is the year of the gentler, kinder Ali... Maybe... :0)

Maybe if he hadn't tried to slip me the tongue 5 minutes after making out with one of my friends, and about 10 minutes before making out with her again, we could actually hang out and maybe be friends... But I can't be friends with a dude I can't respect.... He didn't even have the excuse of being drunk.... Tipsy maybe but nowhere close to drunk... Besides even if I had been attacted to him and had wanted him to kiss me, my girlfriend was into him (Lord love her) and thats another huge No No for me.... Other girls guys (or guys they're into) are off limits. Especially after hearing what I'd hear and seen throughout the night....

But then again, he does work for NASA, and I've heard rumors they're all freaking nutjobs (and not in a fun way like me and not like the intensity of the Marines but they need straightjackets and padded cells kind of crazy....), so my hanging out with him is probably a bad idea either way....

Anyway it was rather a low key New Years when all was said and done…
