My horoscope for today:

You want to forget about everything by luring someone closer. Whether it’s romantic, platonic or business-oriented doesn’t Peanuter. You’ll invest some serious energy in this project, and it will definitely work.

I’m going out with Blondie tonight.

I felt like I was crawling out of my skin last night and there was nothing I could do about it. I had a few phone calls out to see what was going on, but I hadn’t heard back from anyone. I don’t usually feel anxious, especially to the point I was last night. I felt like I couldn’t sit still and I just needed to get out. A good bourbon sounded like the only thing that could calm me down so I headed out to Sean O’Callahan’s in Plymouth and got a glass of my favorite, Basil Hayden’s. There is nothing better than a cold glass of Basil Hayden’s. I hate to say it, but my friend alcohol came through again. One glass, and my nerves were pretty much back in shape.

From there I went to the Balloon Saloon with my brother, cousin Andy, Hippie, Lauren and my brother’s new girl. We were celebrating a friend of my brother’s birthday and there were about 20 people out all crowded around one long table. About halfway through the night I started talking to a girl who happened to be sitting next to me. Now let me provide you with yet another example of why I have shitty luck with women.

This chick was very cool. She’s a career-minded 25-year-old. She works in a law firm and is finishing up her criminal justice degree at Wayne State. We seemed to be on the same level when it came to all that, and hey, she even knew what CDB is. We hit it off pretty well and ended up talking most of the night. Towards the end of the evening, however, she got up to powder her nose and my brother told me “stay as far away from her as you can.” He then proceeded to tell me that she’s a, what’s a nice way to say it? Let’s see, her criteria and standards for sharing a bed with someone are rather lax, and as a result, she’s no stranger to penicillin. Dammit, I meet a really nice, cute girl who definitely liked me and I find out she’s got a social disease. So instead of getting her number, I went to Ram’s Horn with Loc. My freaking luck.
