| | It was all Travis’s fault (and how I came to meddle in the affairs of others and didn’t learn)
Current mood:  accomplished
Category: Romance and Relationships 1st rule: when something goes wrong, blame it on someone else!
When I was in Las Vegas the other week Travis and I were wandering around looking for food, we looked into NYNY, but but nothing looked good. So we wandered into the MGM Grand and ended up eating at the "Rainforest Cafe", which by the way was very good!
As you know from the previous blog entry Travis has been teaching me (successfully I might add) to flirt with girls.
I'm a totally newbie at this; but Travis has given me lots of pointers and says that I'm a natural. Because I'm "genuine". (I don't come off as a fake). Yeah for me!
At this point I'm in a very good mood after successfully flirting with one girl at the Cheese Cake Factory.
I'm having a good time, and our waitor (NOT waitress!), finds out we are from Alaska and becomes very friendly and nice.
Jorge is his name.
While we were having our meal this other waitress named Andi stops by and checks up on us several times to make sure that we are having a good time. She mentions that Jorge is a really great guy. So, I decide to have a little fun. I know the more wise among you can already see where this is going... but me being the noobie that I am didn't see it.
But to give me some credit Travis didn't see it coming either!
And he was the master and I was the apprentice so..... It is all Travis's fault.
So I mention to Jorge about how Andi was talking about him and how she thought very highly of him. Just to pass it along, he then mentions some nice things about Andi; which I promptly next time Andi comes by let her know.
This happens a couple of times until at one point Andi comes up with a Pen and a napkin telling me that Jorge wanted to get a number for later. She then backs away saying, I don't want to know anything about whats going to happen.
I was really embarrassed. But at the same time I was very flattered, I wasn't sure if I should leave a message saying thanks, but no thanks. Or anything.
He came back again and we had some laughs about everything; but I think he was a little disappointed that I didn't give him my number. Not sure what I should have done actually.
That'll teach me to sow chaos around me!
but did it?
I get back from Las Vegas and there is a new girl that has moved next door to me.
Anyway on Monday night her boyfriend starts yelling and pounding on the door, and calling the door various names to little effect.
(evidently this wasn't one of those doors you yell at and they open, he didn't try open sesame though... that would have been my first guess)
This goes on for about an hour. He is yelling about wanting $120 bucks. Calling her the following names "****" "***" "*****", multiple variations of those names too, he evidently felt the same about her as the door too because he used those words on the door as well.
He was yelling about how he was going to stay until the cops arrive. I wanted to go over there and "save" her.
But I didn't know how too.
So I thought and thought and figured... maybe I have $120 bucks... nope I lost everything gambling in Las Vegas :(.
So I left my house keeping it so I didn't look at him as he stood foolishly outside of her door. (and didn't yell while I was in the Hall for some reason).
I then went to the ATM, grabbed $200 bucks from it and walked back.
How was I going to do this? I thought of millions (well I'm exagerating there probably a few) different ways of approaching this.
The goal was: Get him away without causing any trouble thereby increasing her happiness as I felt he was at that moment adversely affecting her life.
So I counted out $120 dollars and had them in my hand (maybe he would leave if he got $120 bucks)... it wasn't a big deal for me.
So my heart was pounding huge as I got into the elevator and headed up, the door dinged open and...
To be continued...
