St. Patrick's Day celebrations 2006

Wow, I really enjoyed myself last night at Le Drugstore. A few friends from speed dating got together and we had some drinks. Two people, one of whom also went to speed dating, came by and told us that if we wanted to go to Sky after, they would be there, if we wanted to change. However, most of us basically stayed until the Drugstore was closed. The evening was nearly ruined, when a bouncer who thought that he was all that made me give him my water bottle while I was about to take a piss in the washroom. That was not appreciated, especially when his way of approach was stupid. He gave an analogy about how people don't bring their own meals into the restaurant, and therefore, I can't bring water into the bar, because they serve it. I was totally annoyed about this, since he was interrupting me while I tried to piss, and I literally had my organ out and was ready to go when he addressed me, and then I had to address him and put my organ away. I emptied out my water bottle, thinking the water was the problem, but apparently he also wanted the bottle. He could have told me, "As a bar, we are responsible for any containers which you may use to take some alcohol out of the bar, which is not what I'm saying you'd do, but we are liable for you taking any alcohol out of the establishment, so could we keep your water bottle for you, and you can get it a the end of the night? So that we ensure that our liabilities are covered?" The latter way of saying it would have given me, the client a better evening. However, that's why he's a bouncer right, all brawn and no brains, and having no way with words?

During the evening however, there was a woman who approached us and started talking to us, and then she got very upset and left after. I found out later that her father killed himself about a year ago, because he was gay. She came to the village to try and find out why her father was gay. She loved her father deeply, and it was quite apparent that she needed some closure. I hope she finds the answer(s) that she seeks, and one of the people there gave her an attentive ear, which I hope and believe that she appreciated, at least for a short time. This woman also asked Roman and me if we were a couple at the beginning of the night, and both of us denied it, even though at least one of us thought that if that developed with time, it would be good. (At least one would mean me, as I don't know if he feels the same way)

After we had to leave Le Drugstore (and the two people who went to Sky came back to find us), we tried to go to Resto du village for some food, but we got there and there was a 20 minute wait, so the gang basically said, screw that, and started walking away from the village. Eventually, it was just me and my friend Roman, since the rest of the gang either took a night bus north, or got a ride home. Roman basically held me up and walked me the rest of the way along St. Catherines, and we got some food after. Then I walked him to Atwater station, so that he can catch the first bus to go to his internship, and then I got home and slept. Stupid MBNA bank called me at 11:15 a.m., woke me up, and even though I would like to be sleeping right now, I can't since I can't fall back asleep.

Roman told me that he felt comfortable with me, and he knew that I would not take advantage of him. He gave me hearty hug before he got on the bus, and he told me he really enjoyed walking me home along St. Catherines. I don't know if this is the start of something that could be really meaningful... I mean, he was at the bar last night oggling the waiters, so I don't really know. I enjoyed it too, he basically held me for I'd say about four metro stations equivalently on the road... I'm also glad he didn't take advantage of me!

Anyway, I'll see if things blossom with him, and if we are doing anything tomorrow. He has expressed interest in the St. Patrick's Day parade, as well as the movie V for Vendetta.
