Ho-ly shit. You like that for a weekend?

First off...I went to the salon on Sat at 3. Got washed, cut, and styled nicely by a chick named Tia. Less pricey than when I had Tony, which was $50 somethin cuz he's the manager or whatever. I got my ends flipped. I don't think I ever had my hair wavy like that.

Work called that evening. I was kinda in a rush to get ready and whatnot so I was like, yeah yeah I'll work that day, sure. I got my schedule for the week and I agreed to come in on that Sun (the next day). Big mistake, haha. I knew I was goin out so havin work at noon was not smart. I know it's noon and not like ass early in the morning but still. It means gettin up at 11 and that's a struggle, esp after a crazy night.

So I was supposed to go to Niagara with L, Shirley, and Annie to hit the casino but my friend Megan said she was gonna be in town so I was goin downtown to hang with her and her friends.

I TTC'ed it there and met up with her at their hotel. I had a Pepsi bottle with my vodka in it ;) Anyway, I met all her friends...all gay boys and 1 straight chick, haha. They're really chill tho. And I love gay boys, they're so much fun. So yeah, off to the GAY BAR!

I've never been before and I gotta say, it was some experience. Good times! We went to Buddies, which I always thought was just a theatre space but apparently there's a club part to it. Anyway, just standin waitin in line was interesting cuz I haven't been around so many gay ppl. We got to chattin with a few guys in front of us and we kept runnin into one of them who we called Boston cuz that's where he was from :P I have yet to meet a gay guy who's a bitchy queen, they've all been sweet and stylish, haha.

There were a couple drag queens (tall too!), couples, boys and their fag hags, it was great. The boys kept goin into the girl's washroom cuz it's mostly all guys and their washroom was usually full...what a twist. The washroom escapades were pure memories. I made friends with gay boys in the girl's washroom while I was drunk, haha. Yes.

Oh yeah, Meg and them were HIGH. They had all dropped e back at the hotel before we left. I was goin to but since Meg was flyin on like half a pill, I'd probably be on the floor with a heart attack, knowin my body :P I remember less of that night as it is, haha.

Anyway, Meg tired of Buddies and wanted to meet up with some T.O. friends of hers so we bounced. She was sick of all the gay men so it was girl time. It was 1 am so it wasn't the best time to get in somewhere. We tried Tango but it was a long ass line and we weren't waitin that out so we left. Ended up at Lub for drinks. I was originally plannin to leave before 1:30 to catch the last subway home but I just stayed.

We left and said bye to one of her friends and went back to Buddies with the other. A couple of the boys went to another club so we weren't seein them for the rest of the night. We jetted after and went back to the hotel and up and down the street lookin for somewhere to eat. We ended up at Golden Griddle to meet up with some of Jordan's friends. Then Meg and me left and went back to the hotel room and chilled. The others came later. I was so tempted to just sleep over and catch the first subway and bus back home in the morning cuz it was like 4:00 but I couldn't. If I did, I would've just made it home with half an hr before I had to go to work. So I eventually left and got a cab right out in front. I knew it was gonna be expensive but I didn't really have a choice. I don't think I really cared at that point, I just wanted to get home and not puke on the way :P

Yeah, so that was a $50 cab ride!! I could only pay by Mastercard so the driver had to verify it by phone. And THAT took a while on top of everythin. Well it was a good thing I didn't crash at the hotel cuz I threw up in the middle of the night (morning) as I pretty much expected :P I didn't get to bed til 5.

So I got my 6 hrs of sleep and got up for work at 11. OMG I think I was still hungover. I was NOT in the mood to be at work. My stomach was hurtin and I just felt like shit. I saw L and she came to look at my hair cuz I had told her I got it done and she's like, wow...honey, did you not brush your hair this morning? Hahaha. It wasn't that heinous but it still had the flippy thing goin on but was just not sleek and smooth and fully tamed :P Fuck, the whole 6 hrs I was there I just wanted to go home. But then I figured this shift would pay for that cab ride, haha.

More work today, but just 5-9. More shadowing and whatnot. They gave me my work shirt and said I could wear it on the floor but that was just askin for it cuz they know customers will come up to me even tho I haven't finished training yet. Guess that's part of it tho. I have to buy some khaki pants for the full uniform, so that's what I'll do tomorrow.
