On new year's eve, I slept kind of late, and got absolutely nothing done. Mark wanted me to pick him up, but not until later on in the day. So I got ready, and waited for him to call me. I guess I wasn't that ready, I still needed to eat, and was just wearing sandals. So, he calls and asks where I'm at, and says that we needed to be there before 8 to avoid the cover. So I was still waiting for Walter, who was originally gonna drive.
Walt got to my house and I saw his FABULOUS car. He totally wasn't ready though, and still needed to shower. I didn't realize this, and had yelled at Shane, who had just gotten out of the shower, "Get ready, we gotta go, Walt will be here any second." So, he had gotten dressed all quick, and wasn't quite dry from his shower. Yeah, he wasn't happy with me... lol. So I said that I'd go pick up Mark and Walt could shower, and then him and Shane could go to Suncoast so they wouldn't have to pay the cover.
So I set off to Palm Harbor. Mark had given me different directions, which, I had some trouble following. I'm so used to Google Maps that when people give me actual directions, I'm just like, What...? So, I ended up missing an exit, cuz I didn't know I was looking for an exit. I drove way past where I was supposed to, and was so irritated. And hungry, and those are not a good combination. So finally I got to Mark's house and picked him up. I told him I'd pay his cover since I was so late.
We got back to Swaying Palms, and Walt and Shane had just returned from Suncoast. I started to make dinner, tacos for everyone. Mark told me to go get ready and he'd finish it, so I did. We ate. Donny was there, of course, and decided to march his nasty ass out to the downstairs shower in front of all of us.
Then Walter drove us to Suncoast. It started off being not very busy. Mark met up with his friends Walt and Neil. Personally, I didn't have any interest in hanging out with either of them. Last time I did, Neil was passed out on the bed in one of the rooms where a bunch of us were hanging out. Everyone left the room for a couple minutes to deal with some straight boy drama, and Neil jumped on top of me and started making out with me. Yeah, it was scary. I was like, please let everyone come back. Then I left.
So yeah, not so much into the socializing with them. It sucks though, because Mark really likes them, and they like Mark. Though, they were all about introducing him to this guy, Isaac. Mark had told them that he was there with me, and aparently they said, 'Wait until you meet Isaac, he'll make you forget about him.' Which was kind of insulting.
Anyways, so Mark was hanging out with Neil and Walter, and I was sitting around with Shane and my Walt. It was kind of boring, and I'm used to walking around when I'm at Suncoast. So, Walt and I went into the Club Luna. That place is usually pretty empty, but there were quite a few people in there that night.
Walt and I started dancing, Toby and Brad were also in there. After we got on the dance floor, it got pretty crowded. Mark text messaged me asking me where I was. I texted him and Shane simultaneously and told them where I was at. Mark called me and I stepped out to the deck to talk to him. I saw Shane walking into the main entrance as I was on the phone. I could see Mark, he was still sitting in the same place. He asked me to get him a drink. I did, and then I went back inside with Walt and Shane.
A show started inside, so Walt, Shane and I started walking around. At that point, I was kind of bored. I suggested going to Alibi. It was only about 11 at that point. I found Mark and told him that he should come to Alibi with us. He was like, no, I want to wait for the fireworks. Then a discussion ensued about how he wanted to be with me at midnight, to kiss me. I said I thought fireworks were lame, and I was bored there. I was kind of annoyed, but saw that he wanted me to stay. I didn't really know why though, he'd been hanging out with other people all night. So, I started to walk away and he chased after me and grabbed me on the dance floor. Walt was right there, and he told Walt to take me to Alibi. I tried to keep walking, and he totally gripped me up. I grabbed his arms and threw them back at him, told him not to follow me. I was sooooo mad. I don't care who you are or how much I care about you, that doesn't give you the right to pull that shit on me.
So, I walked around, got a fresh drink, went back to find Walt and Shane on the dance floor. Started dancing. At that point, there were only a couple minutes left until midnight. Then a couple seconds. I didn't see Mark, so I text messaged him. I saw him coming towards me with his phone in his hand as everyone was counting down. I got my kiss as midnight, and it was great. :)
Directly after midnight, we were ready to go to Alibi. Mark said he was gonna stay for a little bit and then head to Alibi with Neil and Walter. So the three of us went to Alibi, which was pretty fun. Mark never showed up. I tried to call him, didn't get an answer. Alibi closed and we headed back to S.P.
After making drinks and cracking the rose champagne that has become Shane and my favorite, Mark called Shane's cell phone and told us that he was still at Suncoast. Neil and Walter had left already. But Mark kept implying that he needed a ride, and then telling us that he didn't want us to drive impaired. Walt hadn't been drinking all night, but I would've gone to pick him up if Walt hadn't wanted to. It was just kind of annoying, so I said we'd go pick him up and then hung up before he could change his mind again. We got there and called Mark.
No answer. Which kinda pissed me off, so I got out and Shane and Walt followed me to try to find him. We walked upstairs and started looking. Mark called Shane's phone and told him what room he was in, rather than coming down to meet us. Shane and I walked into the room. There was Mark, looking like he was having a great time, with none other than Isaac, the guy Neil and Walter were trying to hook him up with all night. The whole situation just was too much. I left the room and started walking back to the car. I really don't remember what happened to Walt or Shane at that point. Everything just fell away, Mark ran after me and tried to explain that he wasn't doing anything with Isaac. I knew that, but that wasn't the reason I was mad. I wanted to be at home with my friends, and yes, with Mark, having a good time, not chasing Mark down to some room at Suncoast.
But anyways, he did come home with us. Once back at S.P., I guess I still had some unvented anger that came out on Donovan. I already don't like him, and he had done something minor to annoy me. I yelled at him abut it. Then we all went outside to drink and smoke. Walt was tired, and said he was getting bit by mosquitos, so he went inside to lay down.
Shortly after that, Donovan came outside and was all drunk and confrontational, knowing that he could start drama. He was like, why don't you like me? I've been upstairs crying my eyes out... Blah blah blah. I just laughed at him.
Slept late on New Year's Day. Walter had already left. That evening, Walt came over all randomly. It was kind of fabulous. I got a knock on my bedroom door and answered it, it was Walt. I was like, whoa, how cool is that, you're at my house without me having to pick you up. Haha. He was on his way to Suncoast with someone, and needed directions. I gave him directions, and told him we would be there shortly.
So, we went to Suncoast once again on Sunday night. It was sooo empty. Shane, Walt and I hung out in the Karaoke lounge, and each of them sang. Mark disappeared off to Neil and Walter's room. I had already told him that I wasn't interested in hanging out in a room at Suncoast. So, once again, I was extremely bored at Suncoast. After Karaoke, Shane and I watched the drag show at Luna. Walt played pool. Mark came through right after I had gotten a full drink. I told him I was leaving to go to Alibi after I was done with the drink. His phone wasn't working, he didn't have his charger, so it was dead.
Mark said he would come right back. I finished my drink, waited until the end of the drag show. Then I was like, well, let's at least look for him. We walked around, he was nowhere in sight. So we left. I drove my car back to S.P. and the three of us went in Walt's car. Alibi was packed, and much more fun. Mark text messaged me almost as soon as I got there. I told him I had left cuz he never came back... So, after Alibi closed, Walt, bless his heart, picked up Mark at Suncoast.
When Mark got in the car, he was like, Johnny, don't be mad at me. Promise you won't be mad at me. I told him to tell me whatever it was he had to say, but that I reserve the right to be mad. He told me that he had made out with Isaac. That didn't really make me mad. Disappointed, definitely.
On Monday night, Mark wanted to go to Karaoke at the Male Room. So we went. I called Walt to see if he was going, but he was already there. He warned me that unsavory people were there. What's new... So Shane, Mark and I headed over. I called Cengiz and he said he would meet us there.
Shane sang TLC, Waterfalls, Mark sang 2 songs, Mark and Cengiz sang a song from rent. It was kinda cute. I was just there for the beer. Ew, and on a side note, Joe was wearing a shirt of mine Walt had borrowed. How lame.
When we got home, Shane went to sleep. Mark and I kept drinking for a while.
