The Beacon...

I attract weird and damaged people as made evident by last night's happenings. All I wanted to do was have a couple of drinks and some conversation. What I ended up doing is trying to ward of the advances of a creepy guy with a pregnant fiance.

Army and Texan were the guys that decided to grace us with their presence last night and made crazy a perfectly good evening. Army came over to the table and asked to join us and because I didn't want to be mean I agreed. Texan followed shortly thereafter and made sure to let us know that he had a woman. I should have seen two red flags immediately, 1. he was from Texas, 2. he referred to his girlfriend as his "woman". I suppose I just wasnt too quick on the uptake last night.

Then the third red flag went up...Lawyer walked in and he just so happened to be Texan's lawyer. Part of me wanted to break into "It's a Small World". He didn't get into what kind of trouble he had gotten into but it sounded like it was some kind of fight in a casino. Big huge red flag, and I just ignored it.

As the night progressed Texan's relationship with his girlfriend went from great and happy to a loveless relationship where he is being cheated on. He pulled me aside because he just needed someone to talk to, why me? He told me how alone he was and how horrible his relationship was, and how attracted he was to me. He told me I was so sexy, and different from other girls...blah, blah, blah. Why is it the guys you want to say those things never do?

Towards the end of the night we were getting ready to leave, Texan begged us to hang out with him. I told him we were going to Wal-Mart and pretty sure Army and Texan followed us there. Creepy.

It was creepy in that "I'm going to kill you kind of way". He kept following us and begging us to come to their place, I'm ashamed to say that we did, but I was kind of afraid not to. There I had to ward off advances from Texan, and deal with the zoo that Army lives in. Not exciting. Texan told me I smelled like an angel, and Army called us whores, and asked if we had a sewing machine because he was ripped. What is the world coming to?

If this is any indication as to how my year is going to be I'm staying inside until 2011.
