Valentines day, last year.
It was the day after the wine tasting that my good friend Requiem was kind enough to put together at our other good friends' house in the Hollywood Hills. There were 15 different wines, if I remember correctly. And I thought the red ones would be the death of me. But oh no. There was much decadence and debauchery after the wine tasting. Maxx had shown up to the wine tasting just for a few minutes, but I wished he had stayed longer. That was about the time I was knocking over the little plastic wine "glasses" on Mike's table, and his girlfriend Gwineth laughing at me and pointing out my drunkeness. She later wrote me a testimonial stating "this lady is very very quiet...unless you invite her to your house for a wine tasting, then she starts throwing plastic wine glasses across the room (but only if you do it first)"
We went to Hop Louie's and I had a couple Cape Cods and screwdrivers. I remember babbling incessantly to Requiem and Alice about god knows what, but just rambling on and on, most likely about how "I can't believe how drunk I am!" I must have said something incredibly stupid though, because Requiem had this look on his face like "my GOD this woman is an idiot." In fact, I think I remember what I was babbling about. It was about being so drunk. I told him that one of the reasons I rarely drink is because I start overanalyzing what I'm doing and where I am and who I'm with, and I just end up thinking too much and sometimes I'm afraid of it getting to the point where I'm babbling about rambling to some unsuspecting, innocent person. He just did that thing I do, where you don't understand a person so you just nod and smile. Oh my goodness...I'm so glad I didn't show him my projectile vomiting pyrotechnics.
There were so many people there... So many cigarettes. Jeremy had opened up a tab, but it was a $20 minimum and by the time Hop Louie wanted to close and turn on the lights, we hadn't had enough to drink for the tab, so Jeremy bought Alice another drink. The bartender got mad at Jeremy because he apparently didn't tip enough, but since our tab was less than $20, he ended up tipping more than he should have anyway. Maybe I'm wrong, I don't know because I'm not a bartender, but at the moment it sounded fair enough to me.
After Hop Louie's, Jeremy, Requiem and I drove to Jeremy's work to crash for the night. Sometime in the middle of the night I had gotten up to use the bathroom, which was difficult to find in the dark. Also, the bathroom had no light. I think it was around 6am so the sun was about to rise, but the windows in the room were kind of painted over. Jeremy and I woke up around 9ish to go downstairs so he could start working. Requiem came downstairs not long after, and said his goodbyes and that he would be seeing us on Sunday for the 300th episode of the Simpsons at our apartment. After he said goodbye, I had opened Jeremy's laptop and signed into SG to write a big huge THANK YOU, REQUIEM thread in the SGLA group and the boards. It was a long thank you, because I have a habit of typing out these long overdrawn posts and then not ever posting them because I think no one wants to read it. Much like this one.
So if you read this and you get all the way down here, THANK YOU, REQUIEM!!!@#$%^&*()_+
Edit: I remember what actually happened ON Valentines day though! So we're still at Jeremy's work, from 10-6, and we're so hungover (my first and only EVAR) that we can't wait for the Thai food place to open up and deliver greasy goodness to our mouths. The food arrived and my mouth and stomach are more happy than they were when I gave them gatorade. One of Jeremy's head honchos, Josh, comes in and starts making Valentines for everyone and handing them out. He even gave me one, and I don't work there! It said "To Jeremy's Girlfriend!" and it had Spider-Man on it. I don't remember what the actual Valentine said though, it was something like "You're too cool for [something]." Suddenly Josh started laughing, because he'd been using permanent marker on head honcho Sage's desk, and the marker had seeped through. So he takes the marker and writes on the desk's surface "SORRY SAGE" and draws arrows to the inklings on the desk. That was so funny to me. Those inklings aren't there anymore though. The cleaners had done away with it.
I don't remember what happened when we finally got home, though. So Happy Valentines Day to everyone this year.
