Clubs and bars are places for singles. If you are single and want to meet new people easily, then go to a club/bar, dance, drink, etc, whatever. Generally you're going because either a relationship is stagnating and you want to replace the person, or you're single and want to start one. Many bars are nasty places anyways. Full of smoke and when you turn the lights at closing you freak out at the sight, haha. There is something to be said for COUPLES going to clubs. If they don't want to dance at home (lol, duh) then a club is the perfect venue. Lots of music, good floor, people everywhere. It's lots of fun as a couple. Then they can dance together and really turn things up between the two of them. They can have a good time, meet up with friends. It's a great double date place I'd reckon. I would like to do that. Nicole has to show me better how to dance anyway, lol. At least the way she'd want to with me. Ah, speaking of my love, she spent the weekend here and it was beautiful. I am so lucky to have a girl like her. I took her to Games Day, as I am a nerd. lol. At least I like to think it sometimes, but then I'm not entirely one. Just on the side...but anyways. She came Friday afternoon and we relaxed. I made pasta, salad, and heated some italian bread (of which I'm nawing the hunk of right now). A very good dinner I was told, haha. We watched "Super-size Me." That movie was disgusting and hilarious, informative and interesting. Curiously enough, I still am willing to eat at fast food places, where Nicole isn't anymore. I've got nothing against it, I understand her position, it's just I find the food too tasty to completely swear off. I only eat it maybe once every few weeks anyways, so it's no big thing to me. We soaked in the jacuzzi that night and it felt so good. So Saturday, Games Day. Basically a huge collection of gamers in the midwest. Meaning a lot. It was really fun. I met up with some friends, played a game, took pictures. And through it all Nicole was there beside me, although she did wander around to find something interesting at times, which I didn't mind. I completely understood that she would probably get bored because we were there for me and we still wanted to spend time together and so she came too. Plus, knowing my knack for things, she didn't entirely trust me driving to the city, lol. She's so cute, I love her. So we had a lot of fun and after maybe four hours or so decided to go home. Along the way we stopped at AE and I got her the last rings that she needed for the entire collection they have. The drive was okay, although we got a little lost going home, but found our way and were fine. However, I felt intensely good that day. One of her ex's (re. 62) was a gamer too, but he was an ass about it and didn't do anything for her when he'd leave her to play. I did my level best to make sure she was having a good time, even if she didn't know what was going on most of the time. And I succeeded. It's like winning a race, or trying to stop the world from exploding by an evil maniac. Kinda. I went in, knowing I would have to beat the odds stacked against me, and I came out on top. I was happy that I could at least give my girlfriend a good time when history showed that she shouldn't. Warm and fuzzy. That night we had chinese. It was good to me, but mediocre for her. No biggy. But when we were there a girl I used to work with (three years ago) was staring at us with her friend. I remembered her and that she liked me and I wanted none of it. So I ignored her. Nicole stared her back until she looked away though. Cute. So last night we ate, relaxed in the jacuzzi again, watched snl, and it was nice. We had some good long conversations that I thoroughly enjoyed, even though some topics were touchy. The fact that we did and were able to talk like that for long was heartening to me. Made me happy and good stuff. This morning she left for home, made me sad =( but I'm happy, knowing I'll see her next weekend. A bumblebee flew in her window and landed on her leg as she was driving. Freaked her out, but she was strong and got rid of it, so she got home safely and it's all good. huh, well this one has been long. Course, it's been a while since I've made an entry. Eh, all's well. Quote of the day (that I made up myself): "Now is your time to take the weight of repression and shoulder it for the time necessary. It will be only a passing thing, for soon the future will see you shed the shackles and fly with your dreams."
