i'm double-posting cause apparently you all have lame weekends.
so this weekend a friend of mine came to visit from so cal. she's thinking about moving to portland and was coming on a fact-finding mission. i was out of commission all last week with my achilles tendon problem, so i was really worried that i'd be laid up all weekend and totally ruin her trip.
friday ended up being a wash because i went to the specialist that day and was put in an
aircast and was in wretched pain all night. my friend was cool about it and we chilled in our hotel room with my ankle on ice.
saturday i was far more mobile than i'd been in over a week and we set off to see the city. we had brunch at my favorite restaurant,
tin shed, visited the amazing velvet painting museum called
the velveteria, got some incredible cupcakes at
st. cupcake, and went and watched some karaoke at the
trashiest lesbian bar in portland.
yesterday was a bit more low-key, just lunch and a bit of walking/hobbling downtown before heading back to nap before our night of debauchery.
the girl i'm seeing (e*, i suppose i shall call her) picked us up around 9 and we headed over to
pop tart at holocene for some dancing (yes, i rocked the cabbage patch in my aircast), drag kings and drama (one of the girl's a* was banging while we were dating was there and recognized me). it was a fun time and i even had random girls giving me the eye and trying to dance with me. way to rock the aircast and pimp!
afterwards we went to
union jacks. i'd never been to a strip club before and e* wanted to show me the ropes. i was simultaneously fascinated and sad the whole time but i was also determined to find the foxiest lady there to get a private dance from (one of those things to cross off of the "before i die" list). there were two really cute, girl-next-door types that i found hot (the club kind of specializes in more tattooed and pierced kind of girls, but i like 'em wholesome-looking haha), but just as i was about to make my decision, the most gorgeous gal came on and spanked the other two with her pole tricks (she had them, they did not). i was hooked. e* had her paged after her set and told her it was my first time, blah blah blah. a little embarrassing. so she leads us back to one of the private rooms and we talk about our jobs and her formal dance training and then the next song came on and homegirl did her thing while my chick watched. totally crazy. i'd had enough to drink that i could deal with it, otherwise i would have been a total spaz and asked her if she wanted the name of a good therapist or a hug.
e* came over afterwards to further rock my world and then i had to take my friend to the airport a couple of hours later. i'm at work now, with a hangover, a slight feeling of skeeziness, and 2.5 hrs of sleep under my belt.
a fabulous weekend for sure!
