After Thursday night, I woke up and could feel the energy of Friday night. My House of Cards night was merely another step in the right direction. Something I had to experience in order to move forward. Like my subconscious giving me final permission, if you will.
Let's get on with it, yeah?
FR: Day 25 - I Like 'Em Feisty! (3.20.09)
My good friend and student Manko joins me tonight on my 25th straight day of game in a row. . . his 8th! We head to the perennial playground: Downtown Fullerton to meet up with a few OC boys.
CCOC in Attendance:
- Dreopergone
- Status66
- Zar
- Hydro
- Me
Manko and I stop in our bathroom (read: Branagan's) on the way to Slidebar, where we plan on meeting up with the guys. I open a warmup single set with an off the cuff "routine" based on my buddy's phone call last night concerning how he fell head over heels again for his own oneitis. She's older than I am, so I figure the "advice" she'd be giving me would work. She basically told me everything I had mentioned to him, but in less gamey terms than I had given my buddy. Damn, girls are so good at game it's scary. We have a good conversation while Manko waits outside, peering in at me from the window. Haha, he thought I had been following him the whole time as he walked out the back of "Man"agans. I part ways and wish this chick well.
At Slide I'm taken off guard when Dreopergone brings me in for a hug. Haha, this guy, I hadn't seen him an Status waiting for us in the crowd. We walk toward the 'patio' area of Slidebar and catch up for a few minutes.
I notice a mixed three set, two chicks + 1 chode, standing behind me so I decide to bring some fun into their night! I swing in with the energy of a thousand burning suns -
Muse: Ok you three, it's FRIDAY NIGHT and you are WAYYYY too low energy. We need high fives, STAT!
*The girls laugh, and the guy just looks around with his drink up by his chin. I get high fives from the chicas.*
HBBIG: Well aren't YOU having a good night!
M: Of course I am, and I just like to bring that to everyone I meet.
HBAsian: Well, we're having an awesome night too! Maybe you're just too high energy, cuz we're energized!
M: Glad I could be of service. C'mon man, get in on this
*Throw up my hand to the dude and get the weakest high five of my life. Ew*
The girls see this as their cue to leech more high fives, and I don't mind, I'm just out to have fun so I give High Fives out like free candy from that shady neighborhood van. Neither of the girls are attractive, and the guy is the only one who doesn't introduce himself. The chicks have been fun but it's time to close this warmup.
Zar and Hydro come in and we greet them with more energy. We all catch up for a few, and Zar swings into a three set of cuties with Hydro coming in not long after. One of the chicks recognizes Status(Which seems to happen alot! haha) and Zar ejects. He walks over and tells me to open the three set behind me, I tell him what went down.
This is the last time I see Hydro or Zar for the rest of the night. They bounce with a "We'll be right back!" and disappear into the nether to work on their own things together.
Status, Dreopergone, Manko, and I decide it's time to leave Slide. We bounce over to Commonwealth right next door and the night takes an interesting turn. Manko doesn't waste any time and turns around into a two set: One hottie, one fatty. I wait until he hooks and swing in to wing him.
I try again and again to hook the fatty, but she's having a good time as it is, despite the eagle eyed stare she keeps on her friend. We talk for a few minutes and move our attention to Manko and HBFeisty. I've never seen Manko run a set like this before! He's coming into his own. He's confident, cocky, hilarious, and just playing with this girl. He is my student, so he's still learning and I don't hesitate to step in and clean things up when he says something chodey or a little too cocky. This set was truly how winging should go, we were unstoppable! Manko pulled his first SOLID number with this two set, and his game was beautiful.
Keys to winging from my PoV:
- Your wing is your BEST friend. Treat him like it. Period.
- Talk him up, and put things back on track when he fucks up a bit.
- Identify the "troublemaker" to keep from stepping on eachother's toes.
- Occupy the obstacles.
- Crossover in set for a few minutes, and tell a secret about your wing to his target while he talks to the obstacle.
- Always remember that your wing is your friend and you two can talk to eachother too! Talk inside jokes or memories you two have and how awesome they were. Tell the girls a story about something you've done together.
- If you're ballsy, you and your wing can bust on eachother a little bit in good fun. Shows a sense of humor and how you won't take things too personally.
Manko and I were in that set for a good amount of time. Thus, we find Status and Dreopergone waiting for us outside. We decide to check out Church, the newest addition to DTF, with it's forever interesting shitter door. . .which is CLEAR! I swear if someone ever takes a dump in there, beware that anyone at the sinks can see your junk from the sink mirrors. :hahaha:
Oh, I forgot, we stopped through Back Alley and ran into a huge "Bride to be" set. They're doing a scavenger hunt of sorts. I don't want to get too into the details of this set, but it was a helluva lot of fun. Manko exchanges #'s with one of the bridesmaids and the bride to be asks for my number. She actually ends up calling me around 3am after I had gotten home. Hahaha, she thanked me gratuitously for giving her a real number and tells me I'm gorgeous and how I'm such an "Awesome guy." I don't like this, so I tell her I hope her wedding goes great and her husband must be even more awesome than I am. Good night HBBride, I never want to talk to you again, cutie. You're getting married. Game over, girl!
Church is still new, and still sorta dead. I don't see the waitress I've been slow gaming the past week, so I head over to the patio with my pals. Dreopergone gets sideswiped by a girl who recognizes him which seems like it might give him the state he needs to kill it tonight. In the meantime I swing into a five set of girls who are absolutely HAMMERED. I grab their camera, take a picture of myself, then take a picture of them while they scream and make weird faces. This set could have gone somewhere if these girls were sober. . . I mean, I was hoping they could at least form proper sentences.
With Church all but dead, we head over to Heroes for some fun. That's when I see a female friend of mine out of the corner of my eye.
(I'm going to try and write out at much of the interaction as I can, because I felt it was really solid. I want to keep it so I can remember what went down, for repetition purposes.)
Muse: YOU again!? What are you doing here?
HBCoworker: BLAHblahBLAHBLAH
*We banter for a few minutes, then things get interesting as her roommate sits down with us. . .*
HBDucks: *looks to HBCW* Who is this?
M: Dude! Seriously? I'm MUSE! I've known HBCW for years, so. . .WHO are YOU!?
*I'm utterly shocked, this chick is an EASY 9.5! As tall as me, good size titties, and a great body*
HBDucks: Psh. I'm HBDucks and I don't care if you know her or not, you are too damn cute! The only problem is that hair. It needs to go!
(WTF!? Is this chick Push-pulling me?)
M: Haha, you're too late. It's already taken over, the hair goes for no one.
HBD: You should have hair like my future husband: Such and such NFL Safety.
M: Haha WHO!? Sorry, I don't like pro football. I'm a HUGE Duck's fan and I'm semi into USC ball.
HBD: *Eyes get REALLY wide* No WAY! You're a Ducks fan?! Me too!
(Just at this moment, one of the most muscle headed DTF douche looking guys comes in and interrupts.)
Dude: Hey! I am SOoo fucked up right now, I brought you this beer, whoever wants it. I don't need it right now.
Muse: Hey! What's going on man, I'm Muse. Good to meet you. *he introduces himself and bends over the table apparently so he can yell way too loudly:
Dude: I am SO wasted right now, I can't talk. Please, talk to Muse. He's an awesome guy, I've gotta go take a piss!
(Nice insta wing! Guess you're not really a douche after all, man. Thanks!)
HBD ignores this guy completely and taking hold of my arms, she starts going on an on about how awesome I am for being into the Ducks and USC and blah blah blah.
Muse: *I want to cut the sports thread* So you must be some sort of hair stylist to be so obsessed with my mop.
HBD: Actually, no, my sister is, but Ive picked up a few tips. I go to Cal Poly.
M: Bullshit, no you don't! What for?
HBD: Hospitality
M: Ooo so you're one of those recluses in hospitality I hear so much about. Have you seen the rest of campus?
HBD: You stop it! *smacks my arm*
We vibe on cal poly, and how I'm going to be chasing my music dreams after a little while. I tell her to put her number in my phone so she can take me to a Ducks game, and if she's nice, I'll let her play with my hair. She demands that HBCW announce a winner of who has the best hair. HBCW won't comply, aww she's too nice. I tell them I'm going to get back to my friends, and I do.
Status, dreopergone, and Manko have apparently been watching most of this from afar and congratulate me telling me that it looked beyond solid. We decide to bounce, since the bar is a bit deader than usual. On the way out, I stop by HBD's table again only to see her and HBCW doing that "I'm an attention whore and I grind with my girl friends in a bar" thing.
Muse: *I give HBD a little push* Oh, stop it, before you embarrass yourself.
HBD: Are you joking?!
*she pulls me in hips first* I've never embarrassed myself.
M: Good. I like that attitude in a girl.
HBD: Seriously though
*she slides an arm around my waist and I take her free hand in my own* I didn't mean to insult you with the hair thing. You are the most gorgeous guy I've met in a long time.
(WTF!? Why all of the sudden are girls calling me cute/hot/gorgeous? Is it my frame, my subcoms? yeesh!)
M: Well, thank you, but don't worry you can't hurt my feelings.
(I forgot what she said next, but it was like a pull then a push. God damn she's feisty!)
M: Ok, listen, we're going to get rid of that feistiness you've got. It's cute, but you're too much. Give me your hand. *I take her hand* now SPIN! *She gives me this look like, fuck that*
M: Come on, now. Spin *I shoot her a glance like she's a puppy and she just pee'd on the carpet. I put my free hand on her shoulder and lead her the first half of the twirl*
HBD spins a second time, pretends(poorly) to trip, and performs another half spin so she's now fallen into my arms. haha I can totally make out with her at this point, but I chode at first :sorry: .
Muse: There, that's better. Is your fiestiness gone now?
HBD: Hell no! No one can get rid of that.
M: Awesome. That was a test. I love you
*I pull her in close*
I tell her to give me a kiss good bye and point to my cheek. HBCW wants in on my other cheek, so I let her. HBD wont let go of me, she stands up straight, slides her arm back around my waist and grabs my free hand. She's staring into my eyes as I move in for the make out.
HBD: No! I have a boyfriend!
(hahahahaha BULLSHIT!)
Muse: WTF are you talking about? I spent three months in Italy, you NEVER say goodbye without kissing BOTH cheeks. What a goof!
(A little BS never hurt anybody, yeah? haha)
HBD: Ohhh ok!
*She moves in and tries again, kissing my right cheek, then placing her mouth on my left cheek. She starts to suck the left side of my face and gives me a solid lick before I push her off me.*
Muse: Get outta here!
*I wipe my cheek with the back of my hand* Gross! You are such. A. WEIRDO!
I say goodbye and walk out the door.
I've gotta wrap it up here, cuz I'm late meeting up for day game at Brea Mall. AHHH!!
I sent her a text yesterday, and we've had some back and forth. This chick kicks so much ass! I'll post my text convo later when I get a chance.
:drinks:
Until next time boys, thanks for reading! I'll come back and edit this in a few hours for spelling, grammar and whatnot.
