Oh my...

I drove home last night to go out with one of my BGF (best girl friends), Mo. Love her! She's a lot of fun and we go to different places, which is definitely a nice change of pace. On my way down, I figured I'd text some friends to see what they were up to. When I'm randomly in the area, why not? One of those people was D the Cop, who was at a local bar with friends and then going to a strip club.

After I got to Mo's (and was no longer texting people while driving), we went to this random bar across the river that I've never even really noticed before. All these guys started showing up and apparently they are hockey players. I don't really follow hockey, so I can't really say who I met (or was checking out lol).

I also put my hands on this gorgeous guy who was in the way of Mo getting a picture taken (I pulled him out of the shot). I find out later that apparently the gorgeous guy is Jeff Carter? Ah! Hello, handsome! Yum.

While still at the bar, D the Cop starts texting me again - from the strip club!! And basically writes "I'm going home now. Are you coming?" Though we've flirted whenever we see each other, it's never gone anywhere. He has a girlfriend and, actually, the last time I saw him out, I got terribly fed up with his teasing and I said, "How about we're just friends. That way you can keep up this casual flirting and I still get to look at you but neither of us is confused about where it's going."

So, this "Are you coming?" comment was quite confusing. Sitting at the bar confused, I wrote back: "What about your girlfriend and what happened to just being friends?" His response?? "F*ck that" Great!! I had planned to go out with Mo, get back to my car and then drive to my apartment and crash in my own bed around 2:30, 3 AM. I changed right from work and all and so I found myself texting D the Cop back: "I didn't plan on crashing with anyone so I haven't shaved my legs and I've got work at 7:45 AM. If I came over, we're sleeping. If you're cool with that, text me back directions to your place."

Uh, he sent his directions...

On route, I stopped at a Wawa and when I came back out to my car (the whole two seconds I was in there!), my car was dead - wouldn't start, no lights, etc. So, I call my parents in my desperation: "Yea, I know you think I'm in Central Jersey, but I'm not. I'm local and my car is dead."

It was about 2 AM!

No one in Wawa knows anything about cars, the one guy that showed up in the middle of the night didn't know anything (I asked a stranger!) and so I just gave up and waited for my parents to show up ... while on the phone with my sister, a very familiar trucks goes by ... BandJ's to be pretty exact! Go figure D the Cop lives like right around the flippin corner from BandJ's home! Of all the times to spot one another, I'm in a dead car, freezing and waiting for my car to be fixed/swap cars with my parents to head to a guy's house (oh yea, a guy who has a girlfriend too!).

Randomly, while I'm sulking/kicking myself over being at Wawa at 2:30 AM, some guy asked if I needed my car jumped. I said I really didn't know, but I'd appreciate it ... I'd been freezing in my car for awhile at this point. I explained my battery was brand new and so it might just be something loose ... so he looked, tightened some knobs and ta dah! It worked!!! I was so freaking excited that I jumped and hugged the guy! :) He had me turn my car on and everything while he waited to make sure that it stayed working too. So nice! Sooo nice. Good Samaritan, thank you, thank you, thank you!!

I told my parents not to show up and I headed to D the Cop's house. After waiting in my freezing, dead car in arctic winds and then having to go around trying to find D the Cop's condo, I was frozen!! I just wanted somewhere/someone warm - definitely not to drive all the way back to my apartment. So, I headed to D to Cop's and I was so cold by the time I got there that I couldn't stop shivering. Awful! Oh and then to cap off the night, I showed up at D the Cop's house and he's got I Am Legend on - I walk in like just in time to watch the guy kill his dog! I was so ready for the day to be done ... but, uh, I'm not going to complain about how much later I stayed up either. ;)

So, crossed the river, consumed some alcohol, saw pro-hockey players, there was dancing, a dead car, suffering from the super cold, spotting BandJ and making out with someone that has a girlfriend... I think it's safe to say that all that is way too much for one night!

Oh, and this song has been stuck in my head:




I really like the one part:
My love is like a blanket
That gets a little bit too warm sometimes
I wanna wrap somebody in it
Who can hold me in his arms
