A night that was even fun for me.

I had a great night last night. Last night we went out to dinner with my mom at Brian Oneills. I love that place and I love the beer there. The place reminds me a bit of the Royal Oak in Ottawa and so I keep on going there just for the coolness of the place. So of course thinking of all the possiblities of what I did last night was a great eventful night. Last night I ate out and we celebrated the ending of my book. So the place was packed of people which of course didn't really bother me I kind of liked that but I was feeling a bit tired so I didn't feel like going out. Till Amy called. Amy called saying she and her friend Andy wanted to go out. So of course I thought why not. I have nothing better to lose then just hang out with them. Well,we went to The Gingerman. That place is a great beer place plenty of things to do there to relax and sip some beer. I have been to the place on a Saturday afternoon but rarely gone during a weeknight mainly because I always thought it would be crowded or full of rich snobby college crowd types who didn't know any better. But boy was I wrong. The place was a great place to go on a Thursday, but I wouldn't recommend going on a Friday or Saturdays. It would be overly packed and full of the people I mentioned a second ago.

The prices on Thursday are well priced and well maintained. Anyway, so I went to the bar, with Andy and Amy. Amy had fun watching us drink, I kind of felt like she didn't want to be there but I also felt that she thought it was cool that Andy and I got to talk. Well I began to think somemore last night while I was with Andy. I felt like I have nothing in common with this guy and maybe that is a good thing. I tried to figured him out,and I am still trying to figure it out. Well we sat in the patio in the back and saw and overheard the celebration of Houston's Roller Derby Girls. Which was pretty funny to see and here. I liked that the place was crowded but not overly crowded and the prices for the place were relatively fair. Note I wouldn't go there every week or so, maybe as a reward for finishing off 2 weeks of working on a book I would take a friend there but I would never go solo.

I saw "Hunter S Thompson" again, the guy looks and sounds like Thompson and I always had mistaken him for the late Dr T. I talked with David Harrington, who told me that I was missed back at Valhalla, which made me feel good that I was missed but I am not going tonight, just incase you know who shows up. I figured the Gingerman is a place where my college self would happy to go to. My writerself as well. But tonight I am spending time with Maxine :-) The dog hasn't been a night without me. I am sick of going out every night and my body just can't take it. So I am going to take it easy today and tonight.

It was a good night but I began to examine myself and everything around me, I began to think am I a snob or prep or am I a blue collar bum. I never saw myself as Blue Collar nor did I see myself as a prep. But I saw myself as a Midi. I was raised upper middle class and was raised to appriciate the finer things in life like the snobs at Gingerman, but I was also taught to be frugel with my money and not to spend X amount of money. I am a writer after all and I live at home. I don't drive and I surely don't do much to make myself look desirable.

Well, anyway, I today, I am planning on doing some writing. A lot of writing. Not on a book but on finding books and books I want to read and books I am going to make a list of getting with my 75 dollars a week.

So thats what my plans are.
