Friday - I went to  the bars with a friend from college and some new friends I met through her. The first 2 bars I had never been to before so I wanted to check them out and they were cool but they were pretty empty and lame that night, probably because most everybody went down the shore, so we left. The third, I had been to twice before and I'm sensing a pattern.

1. The first time was with the same girls and this lonely black guy found me (I really attract the black guys for some reason, I was recently told its probably because I'm exotic looking...I really think I just look white so I don't know) and he started dancing with me, talking to me, and buying me drinks. I wasn't into him but whatever I thought I'd have my fun and then I didn't know how to decline giving him my number, yeah I'm horrible at rejecting guys. He called me the next day, I ignored it, and that was that, he never called again (some boys know how to take a hint).
2. The second time I met up with my cousin and her friends there and I spotted him and made sure to avoid him. But they wanted to get a look at him so I pointed him out and they walked right by him. On their way back, he grabs my cousin and asks her name and tries to start talking to her. When she told me, I thought it was just hilarious and clearly he has a type.
3. The third time, friday, I saw him again!! Really? Does he not go anywhere else? So I'm with the girls and were dancing and he and his friend come up to us. His friend starts dancing with me and he starts dancing with my friend (who also is of similar build and look to me). Again, I'm cracking up in my head and I'm absolutely dumbfounded. So I ask her to get his name because I had forgotten it and just wanted to make sure it wasn't someone else but I knew it was a corny name and sure enough it was him. His friend tells me he'll be right back and I think "ok good, no he won't thats just what they say". But the lights turned on as he's walking away and I figured we'd book it out of there. He turns around and starts following me like a puppy to get my number!! So, I ask the other girl that attracted my original guy to quickly make up a number for me to give this guy because I suck at lying and wanted to make the first 6 numbers realistic and local. That was that.

Saturday - I was invited to a small, low key bbq with the same girls. It was really nice and it was nice of the host (the girl that's similar to me) to have been so welcoming and for including me as a new friend since we only hung out twice and it was at the bar. At the bbq we all decided to go to the beach the next day. CBG called while I was there...he's called a few times still since I blogged about him and I'm still ignoring him. But when I get down, I feel like going to him for my "fun". I have to keep reminding myself that its more work then its worth and in the end its only going to add to my stress, anger, and w.e other negativity in my life and its just not necessary.

Sunday - Went down the shore close by to where I'll be going to school. It re-ignited my excitement to go to grad school and talking to the girls made me realize that my doubts were nothing to worry about because grad school is a big deal and I was chosen to attend and its not an opportunity that everyone that wants it actually gets and in the end its my license, experience, and character that's really going to matter in my field. There was a flea market which was cool. The beach wasn't crowded (unlike some other jersey beaches, I saw a picture of one beach that was so crowded that everyone was standing, CRAZY!!!). I don't get sunburn but I ended up getting slight sunburn on my back and butt which hurts a little but thats ok, it was a very relaxing day. These girls were absolutely hilarious and the topics of conversation were totally up my alley. I laughed so much, it was definitely needed.

Today - Nothing special. Had my sister take me on her bike trail. 3 miles. It was hilly. It was painful. It was exhausting. It was sweaty. It was nice when there was a breeze going downhill. I collapsed on the lawn when I got home. I should do it more often. Not looking forward to feeling the effects tomorrow.
