Okay, it's been a hell of a long while yes? I've been debating about closing this log, only because I just don't have the time to invest, however things might be changing to where I really shouldn't let this go. I do have some juicy tidbits to share with you.
December was memorable because one, it wasn't as cold as last year, and because Drew actually did something sweet for a change. We have been speaking to each other digitally as usual, and on a random day, a not so special Monday to be exact, he rambled about his ex-girlfriend, and then asked me to join him at San Felasco, the state park for a nice 'hike'. I accepted, and about an hour later, he and I had a four mile conversation. Or rather, he talked the entire four miles and listened and prayed that at some point I would receive some sort of sign of his affections for me. I would have rather had a kiss, but a hug and few elbow rubs is about all I got. So that was what was so sweet. Not so sweet was during Gina's birthday bash, which I originally didn't plan on attending because of work, when Drew was highly intoxicated, and invited me over to his place. I got off work around 12:30 am, drove to Speakeasy where Gina and Chad had apparently ran into some old friends, including Drew, and got an earful of drunken complaints about being dateless and what to do about an overpriced Christmas gift for (of course) an ex-girlfriend. Later that evening I texted him to see if he was okay, and he asked me to come over (really he said "you can crash at my place if you want"). I was already at 34th street at this point, and turned around. I stopped at a Walgreens to use the restroom and to freshen up, and then drove to his house. I got there around 2:05 am. I walk up to the door, and the tv and Christmas tree are on, knock at the door, no response. He's lying on the couch passed out. Great. I drive home complaining to Gina about the failed booty call. Next day he IM's an apology about all of his drunken texts. I tell him that his apology should be for something else:
Session Start: Sun Dec 10 12:20:29 2006
[12:20] drew: Sorry about the barrage of texts last night :p
[12:20] me: how about sorry for leaving me outside last night

[12:21] drew: :( Very sorry
[12:21] drew: Very very very sorry
[12:22] drew: I passed out on the couch :(
[12:22] me: yeah cuz the tv was on
[12:23] drew: :( Because I passed out
[12:24] drew: I woke up on the couch this morning @ 7:30am
[12:24] drew: I'm so so so sorry
[12:25] drew: I'm sorry that this earns me a special spot in hell
[12:26] me: well, as long as you were okay (although i knew you were on the couch...) dont worry about it
[12:27] me: apology accepted
[12:27] drew: No, I feel really bad about it
[12:28] me: dont worry, i got over it
[12:28] drew: When you realized what a little punk I was? :/
[12:28] drew: "Dumbass, light-weight can't hold his liquor....idiot...."
[12:29] me: i knew you were drunk
[12:29] me: it's fine
[12:31] drew: No, it's totally not cool of me
[12:31] drew: I'm so sorry
[12:34] me: it's cool
[12:34] me: but you were okay last night right? you seemed more down then usual, I wasn't sure if it was the alcohol or not....
[12:35] drew: It was the alcohol, that's all
[12:35] drew: I was just being an idiot
[12:36] me: um, and gina told me you were beating on chad? is that true?
[12:36] drew: Hurting him?
[12:36] me: I dont know, you were pushing him or something
[12:37] drew: Verbally, maybe
[12:37] drew: Yeah, this is true.
[12:37] drew: Geez....it was a bad night for me
[12:37] drew: Let's just agree to never mention it again, ok? :(
[12:37] me: Im sorry, i was just concerned
[12:37] drew: Yeah, I don't know what I was doing / thinking
[12:38] drew: I think I just had too much over too long of a time
[12:38] drew: But, I'm oddly not hungover really
[12:38] me: guess i should have been there, i felt bad that i had to work
[12:38] me: and they kept calling me at work too
[12:38] me: lol
[12:39] drew: Yeah....I might not have gotten out of control
[12:40] me: i dont think you were "out of control", just maybe a little rough around the edges
[12:40] drew: Yeah, that sounds more like me
[12:42] me: eh, dont worry about it
[12:47] drew: Well, I am sorry about it
[12:47] drew: If I can make up for it, I'd like to
[12:48] drew: Maybe dinner tonight or something?
[12:48] drew: Well, I'm going to eat some food and then go lay on the couch (again) and wonder where yesterday went so wrong :/
[12:49] me: um okay
[12:50] drew: Well, if you're not working tonight, and would want to eat some Indian food I have and watch a movie, I could do that as a way of apology
[12:50] me: sorry i do have to work again
[12:51] drew: Ah, well, another time then
[12:51] drew: Because, I would like to apologize
[12:53] drew: OK, time for me to hit the couch and do my penance for last night's antics :(
[12:53] drew: Have a much better day Veronica :)
[12:54] me: thanks
[12:54] *** Auto-response from drew: Ah, the joys of feeling like an idiot....second only to the joys of being an idiot
[13:45] *** You have been disconnected. Sun Dec 10 13:45:37 2006.

[14:01] me: ttyl
Session Close : Sun Dec 10 14:01:47 2006
The apology has yet to happen, however he IM'd for tentative plans at the end of this week. He hasn't forgotten. So you will hear more from me after that event (if it ever takes place...)
I suggest: No plans this New Year's? French 75's are in order, with hot pizza and "Breakfast at Tiffany's". There's nothing better I swear.
