First impressions...

I went again to the Elks on Thursday night and I have to admit that I need to get out more often. There were lots of funny moments:

1) When Kara's pet spider was webbing from her back window and Megan freaked out. Not that I like spiders, because I DON'T. As a friend we have to suck it up and since Megan was petrified I took a plastic sack and smooshed it. Which was icky enough, but Megan had me almost freaked out myself with her screaming.

2) Megan and Kara telling a guy friend of Jacille's that they were lesbians... Than going off to dance and have Megan come back to the table totally scared, because a real lesbian started to dance with them. Kara actually dancing with the "real" lesbian.

So it made me think... Why did the guy get pretty much sent to the curb? Because he didn't present himself for a good first impression. I have to admit that I usually don't put much effort into my appearance. Especially at the moment, because my face is breaking out like it did when I was a teen. No wonder people think I'm a teeny bopper... I did put on makeup that night and for my "breakfast date" on Sunday, but as soon as I got home I removed it faster that snot. I realize that the "Elks" isn't really that great. I'm usually yawning and ready to go home around 10. Really wasn't any guys there that interested me and I've find that I really don't like the whole pickup scene period. There was one hot guy, but too young and I wasn't that interested. I was polite to Adam, because he was at our table and a friend of a friend. I hate being rude and I try to be courteous in all aspects of my life. After watching my two young friends dismiss him rudely... I started talking to him, because it dawned on me that I dismissed him also in a way. He turned out to be a reasonably attractive, funny, intelligent guy. Again too young for me, but even I wasn't really interested in him. He was wearing an ugly, blue, mickey mouse/disney t-shirt with god awful tacky shorts!!! I asked him why he wore that to the "club". He informed me that if a girl doesn't like mickey mouse/disney it would be a deal breaker for him. I had to kindly inform him that I love mickey mouse/disney, but that shirt on a guy was a huge deal breaker for me and obviously a deal breaker for my friends. I did think the girls were a bit unkind for being that in your face in their total uninterest in him, but if he hadn't been a friend of Jacille's I would have dismissed him also. I usually get hit on where ever I go, but I try to let them down politely at first. When they don't get the gentle hint is when I turn into the snot that I excel at being. It takes a lot of courage and fortitude to go up to a complete stranger... I usually feel sorry for them, but still not enough to actually spend effort on them. So a word to the wise. Don't wear Mickey Mouse/Disney shirts...
