The Universe Was Against Me But I Love It
I should have known, since it was a bad day at work, that someone somewhere was playing with me. The first steps of this weekend's NYC trip involved a couple stumbles:
- our shuttle to the Metro was late
- the Metro trains were behind schedule
- the self check-in machines at the airport weren't working and the line was huge
- our flight was delayed 2 hours
- I forgot my razor and tore up my neck with the disposable one the hotel gave me
- I slammed my fingers in the bathroom door
But we made it to New York and got to the hotel and managed to get out to The Web last night, which is always fun. We had a great time on the dance floor and Adrian had some cute guy and his not-so-cute friend molesting him, and that's something that always makes for an interesting night. I ran into Christian, a very sweet guy who dances there on Fridays (anyone who remembers my name even though I'm only there about every 6 weeks is, by definition, a very sweet guy). We chatted a bit and I gave him my website address, though I realized on the cab ride back that I forgot to tell him I wasn't trying to hook up with him, and considering all the guys who probably hit on him, I should have put his mind at ease about that. Alas.
Today we're doing a little shopping, then heading to a Chinese New Year party, then going to dinner with a friend of Adrian's. After that, we'll see. Should be a good day.
Though I think I made Scooter sad by not getting together with him on this trip. But I'll make it up to him!
