Oh yeah, my first night home and of course we had to celebrate!! So me and the girls went out on the town and let me just tell you, it was a blast, as always.
Where did we go? Well, we decided to visit our good friend Phil at Hard Rock Cafe, even though he wasn't working that night, which was sad. We get there, and I swear, it was something out of a movie. Oh! Actually, it was more like that commercial on Fox Sports Net where the Colorado guy walks into HockeyTown Cafe and everyone in there just stops and stares at him. Because I swear, when we walked through the revolving doors, that's exactly what happened! (hockey jerseys everywhere too because most people had come from that disappoint game one loss to calgary.) We ended sitting up at a table near the bar and there were two tables behind Karen who would not stop staring and then like the entire bar kept checking us out.
And the great part was, we weren't even in club clothes. Just casual wear (attributing to the fact that all my cute outfits are packed in boxes up at school)
So we're sitting there and if you're a guy, you have to realize that when three beautiful girls order huge hamburgers, you have to be in love. Well, the waitstaff loved us. But even funnier was, this old guy comes over to our table and we're like "oh god." and he was like "I'm gonna bring my friend over here to talk to you. Just start to flirt with him and act like you like him. it'll totally make his day." So we're like, ok. (although we're really more concerned about the food coming than anything else.) So the friend, i think his name was Eric?, comes over to our table and starts talking to us. He mentions something about the hockey game, so I start to go on about the Wings and he cuts me off. Then he mentions he's going golfing tomorrow, so I ask where he's going golfing and he completely ignores my question. Now, normally I'd be VERY upset at being ignored but it's obvious this guy is infatuated with Karen. He can't take his eyes off her and every question is really directed toward her. Me and Shannon laugh and sit back and let Karen have some fun.
So this guy is really sad. If he was supposed to be a ladies man, he must be hitting on the ugly dog-women of UM because he's not very smooth. The only real appeal I could possibly see is he's got money. Yeah, he wouldn't shut up about his new Lexus or whatever. We're like, oh wow. We don't care. But he finally goes away and we get excited.
Then, this guy in an Yzerman jersey comes up to us and we don't really talk to him because yay! our food has arrived! So we're eating and then the waitstaff comes by and talks to us, all the while this table behind karen is staring at us. One of the guys is really cute so me and shannon are intrigued. But then he stands up and we realize he's old because what young guy wears jeans with a belt and his shirt tucked in? My point exactly.
So anyway, we're eating and then the old guy comes up to us again. He asks for Karen's number, but she's a little skeptical. That's when he tells us he's married and has a little girl and he showed us pictures. His wife was gorgeous and their daughter was adorable, so we're raving about that. Karen writes down her number to give to Eric (don't worry, she's not going to answer when he calls) and when we finish eating, Eric comes over to our table again. He starts talking about the Wings game and then the Pistons and then the Tigers and how his company has a suite or something. And now, let me just say to all you boys out there...DO NOT ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT SPORTS JUST FOR CONVERSATIONS SAKE!! Especially if I'm in the conversation. God this guy was driving me crazy! He'd bring something up, I'd go to say something, and he'd completely ignore me or cut me off. I'm sorry that I know more about sports than you, but then maybe you shouldn't be an idiot and talk about it if you don't want anyone to answer you! (but then, this makes me wonder if maybe all the women he's been with have known nothing and so he wasn't prepared for an intelligent response?)
So anyway, he tries to get us to go to a bar with him and we're like, we've had enough of this. So we (gracefully) say we're not sure what's going on and get up to leave. As we walk out, everyone stares, yet again. And there are a few whistles. We just laugh. Always leave them wanting more ;)
So what else...The guy at the parking garage was cute, so we waved to him and he waved back.
We drove down Woodward and oh the hookers were out! There was this grotesque, old, man-looking woman on the street with too tight clothes. Really sick, but the first one we spotted. Then there was a group of them about 3 miles down the road. We got really excited (if you've never been hooker spotting, you should really go. It's hilarious.)
Then, as we make it back to the safe neighborhood near Birmingham, we drive next to this car and the driver is really cute. So we get his attention and I wave to him. He's totally embarrassed but he has the cutest smile ever. He waves back and tries to get the Hell away from us. We actually end up catching him again, but instead of risking being stuck at a light with us next to him, he speeds up and drives away.
Well, that was our night. We went out, stirred up hockeytown, and made it back before the bars got out.
Oh! I almost forgot! So we're driving back and Karen's phone rings. She looks at the number and says "here, you need to answer this." So I do but as I do, she realizes it's not who we want it to be. So i say hello, expecting to hear someone else and the guy says "it's eric" and I'm thinking...he's not friends with anyone named Eric...and then I realize who it really is and so I say "oh we can't talk. bye. and hang up."
Then I felt bad for answering but KAren said it was ok. Now she knows when he calls and not to answer. Then she looks at her phone and says "the area code we want is 312, not 313." and we laugh. because, now that I think about it, it would be weird for him to call her twice in one day. especially since I made her call him back when we were at Hard Rock. Honestly, it's hilarious that he called!!
(if you don't know who "he" is, it's ok. Because you don't need to know to understand the situation.)
Now our night was complete. And if that's just how the first night of summer went, imagine how it'll be in July!!
