I also don't know why people come to me with love advice. Ummm. . . we're friends, so you're completely and utterly aware that I have no love life right??
Anyway, I tend to get myself in these awkward friendships with guys that ultimately turn into this "Will they? Won't they?" scenarios. The latter usually being "They won't." I always had friends say to me "you guys should date. Would you date him?? If so, just tell him how you feel (especially in the case when feeling were there). However, I seriously gave my friend the advice of not losing something that seems so great due to a friendship because it's far worse than not knowing what could have been.
I. Completely. Lied.
The one time I actually came out with "I have feelings for you," I was shot down faster than it took me to get the words out. Well maybe not that fast. . . but pretty quickly. I was so heart broken. It crushed me. I mean literally crushed me. I have no idea why I gave her this advice either. I know that I really think it will turn out differently than my situation. . . although hers is very similar to what mine was like. It's probably the optimistic romantic in me. I am the exception to the rule in all cases and I've learned to accept that. :)
However, I did run into this guy on Saturday, and he was telling me about something sweet he did for her. . . so I'm thinking she will fair better than I did.
And on that note. . .
I feel that everyone should volunteer. If not for the benefit of knowing you helped someone less fortunate, but for the sheer value of just helping. . . or in my case, I volunteered at Baconfest this past weekend. And they stuck me and my friends at a bar so I ended up bartending for like 5+ hours. It was awesome. The guy in charge of our bar didn't want us to leave, which is why we worked a few hours after our shift. I am pretty positive I will volunteer next year as well. We definitely contributed to the intoxication of hundreds if not thousands of people. Wait. . . I can actually say thousands because it's an over 21 event AND the 8,000 tickets available for purchase sold out in under 4 minutes. It's insane. If you don't like bacon, I would probably not go to this event. If you love bacon. . . you will actually get sick of it by the end. But it's delicious. :) I had the best slice of pizza with the oddest combo on it imaginable. It was called "the Elvis" from Gusto here, and it had a peanut butter sauce, topped with bananas, bacon, and cheese. It sounds absolutely horrible, but before we started we gave them some Bloody Marys in exchange for some slices, and let me tell you, that was the first thing I went back for when I was finally able to walk around because I only got a bite the first time.
I also think I missed my calling in being a bartender. I was a barista in college at a small cafe and then was a barista at Starbucks for almost 3 years. I do have the innate ability to have people yell 3+ mixed drinks at me and be able to make them without question. Granted, most of the ones made were Bloody Marys but we had regular, bacon (bacon Bloody Mary mix) , or bacon bacon (Bacon vodka, bacon Bloody Mary mix). But I mean sometimes people wanted to try the cucumber vodka with the Bloody Mary instead. I had about 7 Pearl Vodka flavors and often people would ask what is good with them. My favorite was part blueberry vodka, part orange vodka, and lemonade. It was really refreshing. Oh I might have gotten to drink on the job. . . in fact, our manager encouraged it.
I'm looking forward to a calm weekend for sure.
Have a good one everyone! :)
