Wow, has it been 3 weeks since I updated???
So, everyone that I talk to lately that's a diaryland reader is just like "Nicole, what's up with all the drama?"
It's true, my diary has become this total soap opera, not at all the fun (and funny) smackass antics it used to be. I'm really not sure how or why or when things got so freaking weird. But I must say, I'm definitely not bored these days. I admit that I totally thrive on drama, and so with all the events of this spring/summer/fall I'm definitely enjoying life because, well, the drama is never ending.
What's happened since my last entry when I cried in the Gap? 2 weeks ago I saw Steve out at a bar and he didn't talk to me and proceeded to be completely rude to Katie. We honestly had been having so much fun hanging out with Bob and Brian and then he showed up and just totally killed the mood. Meanwhile, Bob was so drunk and was begging me to come home with him as Steve is standing right behind us, which caused some major awkwardness. As did the hand running down my ass and the text message reading "If you want to hook up, call me." I'm sorry, but the two of them can play that "we're friends" shit as much as they want to, but if you're trying to get with me after having already caused a gigantic scandal with some innocent making out, how great of friends are you really???
Then last weekend I was deathly ill and was in bed for 5 days straight, out of work and all. I saw lots of good movies though.
This weekend though, I was back on the scene. Much to my surprise my friend Craig from work and his wife came out with me and Katie on Friday night and we actually had a really great time. They're only 25 but they don't really go out much, but Craig had such a good time that he's decided he's gonna get back into the bar scene with my help. He was especially excited to finally get to see in person all the players from my soap opera stories. The only one he didn't get to meet was Steve, and now he's extra intrigued by him because we finally confessed that the kid is actually fat. Katie did a great impression of how Steve has no neck, I must admit.
Craig says that with all our love triangles, we're very much like The OC. Which got me thinking about how many triangles actually exist- and yes, we are a bit incestuous I think. Let's see... Me and Steve, Me and Bob, Bob and Courtney, Bob and Katie, Katie and Andrew, Andrew and Courtney, and a very slight possibility of Courtney and Steve (that one's not confirmed, just suspected.) Bob definitely takes the prize as the group whore though.
Saturday night Katie and I were out once more and of course ran into the whole crew, this time including Steve. And just as I'm on the phone with Craig saying "You should be out tonight! He's here and he's wearing his green shirt that makes him look like a fat leprechaun!" who comes walking up behind me? Yes, Mr. Steve. And he proceeds to be extremely cordial with me and Katie, chatting us up for like a half hour. What the fuck??? I guess he's gotten over himself? But I must say I was super pleased with the fact that he was out because Saturday was a rare occasion where I really felt great about how I looked. I had on this really thin pink wrap sweater with a flower applique on the shoulder that was sort of 50's inspired but trendy. And I was carrying this great pink/black/white tweed purse with a black leather flower on it and I was rocking the chandelier earrings and somehow my hair turned out perfectly. It was quite possibly the best updo I've ever done in my life- almost prom worthy. And I truly believe that chandelier earrings can make anyone look fantastic, not to mention the fact that they make you feel fantastic as well. My best bartender friend Kenny even said "Hey, you always look nice, but tonight you look really nice!" So yes, I was pleased that in all his fat Irish pride he saw me looking fab.
And I was quite impressed that even though Courtney was screaming across the bar for him to hang out with her because it was her birthday, he didn't leave us. I was like what? Not playing the part of bitch this evening?
I've also come to the conclusion that at this point in my life I'm so happy being single. Yes, I said that. I'm happy being single. I mean yeah there are times where you have a crappy day and wish there was someone to make it better. But when it's all said and done, I'm having way too much fun being single and I'm not quite ready to give that up. And Katie has gotten really fun and we're just enjoying doing our thing. So, life is good. Really really good.

**Quote of the Day**
Me (after Jeff does a lap around the bar just to walk by a girl and not actually talk to her): Jeff, you have NO game!
Jeff: Anyone who's hooked up with Steve should NOT be talking about people's game!
So true...
