Sigh

Thursday was a random day. Work was normal... Michele let me off almost an hour early since she knew there was no work to be done. I didn't object. Came home and took a much deserved nap.

Decided to go out with the Chrises because I hadn't seen Wei in a long time. We ended up heading to Hmongcode for lack of a better place to go on a Thursday night. It was... interesting to say the least. Upon walking through the doors I saw none other than Andy and his group of friends paying their way in. I was pleasantly surprised b/c we haven't seen each other in such a long time. Andy and I talked for a bit until he went off to meet up with his crew. We drank... drank some more... and then decided to hit the floor. Pushed our way through the crowd and found Andy and company. Success! Random Hmong girls came up and started dancing with us. Great. It was time for me to act and pretend as if I was enjoying it. Small talk was made along the way. It was weird because they all knew each other and it seemed like they were just taking turns dancing with me - almost like musical chairs but I was the only chair. Before I knew it we ended up exchanging numbers. Stupid me. Right after the club we went to go eat at Perry's and they were texting me off the hook - I had no idea who was who.

After getting our grub on we stopped at the nearest gas station to get gas. Bad idea =/ While pumping gas some black lady comes up and asks us to take her back home. Huh? "Umm.. it's not my car. Lemme ask my friend." She sticks her head in the car and apparently Wei agrees to give Miss Hitchhiker a ride. In the car this lady (whose name we later find out is Tania Canada) is seriously talking our heads off while scarfing down our leftovers at the same time. Her Hmong nephew. Louisiana. "Right lane baby." Being a C.O. (correctional officer). "Coach" purse. Betty Boop - her alter ego. Keeping it real. Long story made short we ended up spending around 1.5-2 hours with this self-proclaimed alcoholic and pretty much knew her entire life story. Moreover, it was almost 5 in the morning before the degenerate let us drive back home. What a night.
