Easy Like Sunday (Monday) Morning

Earlier this year, I made a statement that this was going to be the summer of the drink. I was going to attempt to spend the summer sipping away on alcohol beverages. It seems I am doing well with this. Consider it an experiment in socialization.

Last night we went to the Annex. The Annex is a little area of Toronto where you can find all walks of life and people. It is located near U of T so you get some of the frats. It is also just north of China town and between Korea town and Yorkville and south of Forrest Hill. Lots of Potheads around too. It is the Casual part of Toronto - if you know what I mean? There are a couple clubs, but they are mostly bars or pubs. Back in the day - this was the area you went to get your heroine (if you liked that sort of thing). Good Falafels too. Lots of kitchy little stores with boxes and porcelain elephants for sale. Cheaper drinks and food. Second hand stores, head shops.

Went out with the Jerk, Porno and the lesbian. Tommy Lee also showed up.

Tommy Lee
OK so it isn't really Tommy Lee - but he is certainly a lookalike. Only he is still young, and doesn't look all weathered like the Drummer. It is debatable if you ask me, but the claim is that he is the hottest man in this group of boys. And this is what the boys tell me. I haven't really thought this to be true before, I may be changing my tune though. I find that the more I talk to him, the more attractive he becomes. There was some incident where I patted his leg in conversation, and his response was "no like this" and he motioned higher up on his thigh. I of course followed his lead. He said that at his age (30 I think), he was ok with asking for what he wants... It made me a little hot I must say. He also gives good hug as well. It was a good night. We checked out the bar for a bit to see if we could find Porno a woman to love. This was entertaining as he is super shy and everytime I blatantly pointed out a girl, he would get all intense and ask me not to point. Sitting with us, he isn't going to fall in love. This is my point. It is strange though, TL also was looking, but too shy to talk to the girls at the next table. I find this amazing. Even hot guys have a hard time approaching their love interests. Makes me feel a little better I guess.
TL starts talking about Bookworm and strawberry shortcake ( remember her?). TL and the Jerk used to be close, but when the Jerk and his beloved broke up, there were ties that were severed - it is always hard right? It was good for Jerk to hear some gossip and such from his "others". It seems that Bookworm is in the middle of some 17 year crush on Strawberry Shortcake (here we go again- See DW). She has a child, did I ever mention that? And this is where the trouble begins. TL suggests that Bookworm babysits all the time for SSC in order to get closer and be a father figure to the child. I always thought it was just nice that he helped out all the time. He is very good with the little Tyke. You don't see a single guy so into kids all the time. It is part of my interest in finding more out about Bookworm. Him and the kid - interesting dynamic. TL says it is all coming to a head now - and there may be some fall out. And SSC's current boyfriend doesn't like how Bookworm acts and is around. Boys will be boys it seems.
I haven't seen Bookworm in weeks and weeks. I texted him from my vacation, as I had a dream he broke his arm. And he replied back that he would call when he returned from his trip to the ranch (?), providing he could use his arms!! I don't know if he will be at baseball today. Doubt it. That is fine though, DW is going, and DC too I think. And TL, fresh off surgery, will also be a spectator. Lots of people around to talk too... I guess I should be going, have to make some park friendly drinks for the day.

Vacation is over today. Have to go back to work tomorrow. :(
