Oh What a Weekend

Oh what a weekend I had. Maybe I'm not really an old lady!

So work was fun on Friday. All I can say is that sometimes I feel like a dork, but I love these people, and I'm definitely in my element. I also enjoy the warm encouraging smiles and conversations. They really make my day.I left early that day on account of the construction (hey, it was dusty). When I got back to CT, I went to Costco and then went with Zack to the outlets. I bought a really cute Theory skirt and Vince pants. I fully intend to wear them to work this week!

Then, it was time for big night. Erin and I had decided that we would ride and conquer that blasted mechanical bull at Salty Dog. So Gaird, Katharine, Erin, Zack and I met Trina at Salty Dog to accomplish this feat. Now, the last time I went to Salty Dog, I didn't realize how trashy the place was. The place is absolutely disgusting. I mean, appallingly debaucherous. Hobag sluts everywhere. Get this, the girls working the bars would stand up on the bars and then get a guy to stand up there with them. Then the girls would proceed to pull the guy's pants down, and pull down his shorts so his bottom was exposed, and then spank the guy's bottom with a paddle. Really hard too. And anyways, I didn't really wanna see any guy's hairy ugly butt. Then, the nastiest thing was that the guy working the mechanical bull would help the girls get on the bull, etc. However, one time, he got up on the bull, and lied down on his back. Then the girl also got on the bull, and he proceeded to pull her towards his crotch, and he basically started thrusting. Sex on the bull, great. Also, some other ho decided to ride the mechanical bull with a short skanky skirt on. She basically flashed everyone with her digusting panties (did I tell you she wasn't skinny either) and it also heightened the ew factor. However, most of these things occured AFTER I rode the bull, so I felt safe.

So I went over and decided to ride the bull. Gave the lady the money, cuz it costs to ride a bull. So then I jumped on the bull and I kept remembering Erin saying, grip the bull with your heels. And then it started. Guys, I lost all composure, I was supposed to look cute and smile a lot. But nooo, I screamed at the top of my lungs, squeezed my eyes shut, and held on for dear life. But I stayed on for a really long time, and I got tons of pats on my back (and from complete strangers, mind you). Then, a little while later, Erin rode the bull too! She looked really hot, and she looked like a pro. But the rest of the girls basically looked like hos. Trina, Erin, Katharine, and I were like the only non-hos at Salty Dog. Oh, and did I tell you that after I rode the bull, the bull operating guy placed a sticker on my right butt cheek, and then slapped it, hard?? Can we say that this place COMPLETELY objectifies women, and and uses dirty tactics to attract customers? Plus, the bouncers are bastards.

So Saturday, I had to run a lot of errands. One of which was going to the grocery store. I chose Shaw's because I had to run a lot of other errands in New Haven, so might as well go to the grocery store there too. As usual, I was stalked in the grocery store. And it's so funny, cuz when I got to places like this, I try to look really bad, with no make up, sweats etc. But it still doesn't work. This guy followed me from the meat section ALL the way to the bread section (this is quite far guys, especially since I would go into different aisles to deliberately cease his pursuit). Then, when I'm looking for bread, he's like, what's your name, etc? So I got REALLY pissed. I'm thinking to myself, I'm not taking this crap anymore by this loser. So I proceeded to say in a very loud tone, why do you keep on bothering? you've been like stalking me out since I've been here. So just stop. And then I walked away. And it was nice. Don't make me angry, ppl. LOL.

Church was good on Sunday, and I happened to get a little bit of work done. And now it's Monday, and I can't wait til it's tomorrow so I can go to New York (and get some gelato, perhaps!). And I can't wait til the summer when I'm reunited with a lot of my friends!!! Sigh, it's going to be NYC days, drinking green tea martinis in the park, gorging on Maggie Moos ice cream or something to that effect. I can't wait!!!!

What exactly did you think a bar with a mechanical bull was going to be like?

Oh, it's you again. So, New Yorker, I suppose you go to bars with mechanical bulls all of the time right? Kinda shows what kind of person you are.

I've never been to a bar with a mechanical bull, kind of low class I'd say...but if that's your idea of a good time, more power to ya. I just think you should be more tolerant of people. I guarantee you the folks at that bar were having a just fun time, just because you think it's not a good way to have fun doesn't mean you need to spend a few hundred words denouncing it.
