Another Drunken Night... still no fight...sort of

First, as soon as 5 people fill out the survey I will reveal the answers and everyone scores. Don't copy off of Mike either!......


Alright, so my Time in Aberdeen seems to be either a plain and simple offshore world where I get fed, get my bed made every day and work much less then I did in Texas. My onshore life on the other hand is quite the dramatic difference. Days in the shop are longish sometimes, sometimes short depending on what is going on and how invisible I can make myself (A power that if you know me at all you know I am not very good at). But weekends in Aberdeen are fun.... very fun. The normal plan is get wasted Friday night, go to work hungover Saturday and sleep Saturday night. Then buy food on Sunday because I am hungry. I am trying to adapt this plan to possible spending Friday and Saturday out, but it will take lots of diligence on my part (And possibly a larger bank account as I tend to spend a lot of money when I go out... its expensive here)
So anyway back to last night. There was a guy from Turkey that was working here for about 6 weeks just on loan and last night was his last night so we all went out to celebrate (Its not like we need an excuse to drink, but it helps). So anyway, hit hit up a few places, and by we I mean 10ish guys and 0 girls (2 thumbs up, then stick your tongue out as the thumbs turn over and head for the floor... you know the motion). So we start out at this wine bar. I was the first to get there I get a bottle and 4 glasses so it doesn't look like I am going to drink the whole bottle by myself. I then drink the whole bottle myself..... Guys show up as I am buying the second bottle, good timing, they never knew. So we drink there for a while, then head up the block to a pub type place. It was pretty packed and we positioned ourselves outside the girls bathroom and I decided to be the gate keeper. this job was invented by me and therefore I made the rules. There were only 2. First hot girls go in and out, second ugly/fat/annoying girls go in and are not allowed out. I kept the job for about 4 minutes before i was asked to stop, I kept it up for another 2 minutes before I was told to fuck off, 1 more minute and then I was told to go to hell. I responded with " as long as the girls there are hotter then you it won't be so bad" i then stopped as I realized that even the hot girls were not impressed with my gate keeping, although the other guys in the bar thought it was a great idea and one even tried to get me an application to be a bouncer there. So I leave the door and head for the bar to rejoin some of the guys. We talk to a couple of girls (1 bartender was from Katy, Texas, small world huh). I talked this one girl that didn't leave for quite a while. We did have her penned in around the bar but still dialogue was good. We then left there and walked to Babalon. That's there the night got interesting.

On the walk there I saw 4 girls sitting at the bus stop. I started talking to them and quickly realized that it was only 2 girls and I was seeing double. I fixed that problem and continued the convo saying that they should come with us. Us consisted of me by that point as the other guys had kept walking on. The girls started walking with me up the road in the direction that the guys had left. We talked a little and then they asked how old I was. I looked at them and realized that they were prolly in their mid thirty's so I said I was 31. They laughed, and I quickly corrected myself saying that I was 24. Anyway they walk for a while but were walking slow so I ran off (my logic was not great last night which will become a problem). SO I ran til the street made a Y. The place we were going was close, but I didn't know where it was. I started calling people. I started with the first person in my phone, he was at his house, and couldn't understand what I was saying, must have been a bad connection or I was really drunk, most likely the latter. I try the next person on my list, they are indeed out with us and I speak very slowly as they give me directions. I walk in and go upstairs and find the guys.
Now that we are all reunited I decide that fanning out is the only way any of us are going to have any luck. I walk around and check the place out, its another old church converted club. Loud music, big bar, lost of people, I like this place. I go to the bar and ask for 2 American beers, I get 2 Buds, and pay 7 pounds, that's $14 for 2 buds. You can get a 20 pack for $14. I was intending to give one of them to the guy that is leaving, but at 7$ a piece, this Bud is NOT for you.
So I'm drinking and talking and maybe a little dancing (really not sure) but eventually I find a couple of girls that are good to talk to. Well one was fat and big, but her friend was a bar star. So I hit on the bar star while keeping the big girl in the loop, "the friends got to like you if you have any chance." Its loud so the talking consists of leaning in with yelling in the ear, first step of physical contact... things are going well. I take a couple breaks to go to the bathroom and do some walking but eventually find the girls again. I really think I have a chance of hooking up with the cute skinny one and then I stopped remembering things.

What I found out today is that we left the bar. I was with thebar star and the big friend was going to let her come home with me, I was so in, I had passed every shit test but fate would fuck me. (bar star's name was not fate, well it could have been I have no idea). Anyway, one of the guys was leaving the club with a girl hes been talking to for a week or so. Some guy stepped in the way and tried to block his exit, words were exchanged, I jumped in. Lots of pushing blah blah blah.
Memory comes back to me. I am being held by the bouncer, bar star is gone, I am trying to wrangle free to no luck. I am yelling "Why are you holding me back, I just want to get laid..... someone get this fucking guy off me" some of the guys are gone, the rest are trying to calm me down, but I think I am calm, just pissed that I am being held. I eventually calm down enough once the guy says the cops are on their way. I say I want to apologise to the owner, he walks me around the side and I tell the guy he has a great club and I am sorry for the scene and i will stay away for a while. He says its ok and he understands and I should come back tomorrow. One of the guys starts walking down the road with me towards my apartment but he lives the other way and I convince him that I will be able to get home without anymore drama and without getting lost so he lets me go alone.
I then get lost. I call every taxi company I know but no one can understand me and the random place I am yelling at them. I walk some more. I walk around a corner and see a casino. I like casinos so I go in. I need to be a member and I need to fill in a form. I fill it in somehow with big letters. I talk to the girlwhile she makes up my membership card. She can't understand me either. I walk around and find a 2 pound blackjack table. I reach in my wallet and find 40 Pounds. I get chips and start playing. I get down to about 10 pounds and reach in my pocket. i find a 5 a 10 and a bunch of coins. I put it on the table and grunt indicating that I want chips. I battle back to 50 pounds. They say the place is closing. everyone gets up. I want to keep playing and the dealer says I can play a few more hands but I have to play at least 2 spots. I play 6 at a time. I can't do that much math in my head and don't do very well, but I think I played about even for the last 3 hands. I colored up and cashed out for 40 ponds. I walk outside and I am still lost. there are still no cabs. i ask someone where my road is and they laugh and say I am a long way from home. I tell them to point me in the right direction. I left the Casino at 5:30 am. I was home by 6:30 am. I went to bed, by alarm went off at 9:30 am because I had to be at work for a 10 am meeting. I got to work at 11. whoops O well It was a fun night!!!
