Another "Thursday's" Night

Today’s HH quote: “I guess I was a combination of ‘House of Pain’ and ‘Bobby Brown’ – I was humpin’ around and jumpin’ around!”

Last night Rob wanted to show his friend Amber (from BC) around Montreal. He wanted to show her some of the small pubs and also suggested Thursday’s. I told him I’m pretty sure a female wouldn’t be interested in Thursday’s, but he knew her better than I did. We started the night at McKibbin’s and it seemed really nerdy (more nerdy than usual). I assumed it was because it was still early and the hip-hop hadn’t started. Still, something seemed out of place, so I asked the bouncer if there was something special going on and he said “Yeah, there’s some kinda’ cell phone company party”. That explained it; there were waaay to many nerdy, middle-aged, techy-guys there for this to be a regular night. We left and headed over to Thursday’s! Here’s the funny Thursday’s story:

We got some drinks and we were walking around. As we arrived these 2 women came up and started talking to Rob and I; they were from Cambridge, ON. They were OK I guess. I think I saw like 3 attractive women all night. Amber spotted a very nice looking girl on the dance floor and we all agreed, this girl was probably the best looking one there. Every guy that walked by tried to dance with her, or talk to her and she kept looking away. The 3 of us watched and laughed as every guy got shot down. It was hilarious! I guess she noticed us cracking up, because she looked over and smiled. Eventually while we were talking, she got off the dance floor and we didn’t see her anymore. We ended up getting a table and were sitting around chatting.

Later that night I saw this girl again. I was bored and needed a challenge, so I told Rob, “OK, every guy is getting shot down, but she keeps making eye-contact. I’ll bet you she’ll talk to me!” He said: “Go for it!”. There were another 4 guys around her as I walked over to get a better look; she looked to be in her mid-twenties. I introduced myself and started up a brief conversation. After about 2 mins she said: “Well, I have to go to the bathroom.” I figured she wasn’t interested and this was her way out. I said “OK, well, if you wanna’ pass by later I’m sitting…” She stopped me and said: “I know you’re sitting in the corner over there, I’ll pass by later. ” I walked back, told Rob what happened and said if she comes back then it’s all good. If not, then who cares? Sure enough, she came back. Here comes the best part:

She said she was by herself because her friends were supposed to come out but they never showed. We were talking about different spots and I told her she should come out to Orchid with us whenever we go next. She said yeah it sounded like fun and gave me her #. Then a guy walked up, whispered something to her and walked away. She looked back at me, rolled her eyes and said “That was my psycho ex-bf”. She then said: “The worst part is we have a kid together!”. Uh-oh. Strike 1. Then she says: “If you call my house and a man answers the phone, don’t worry it’s just my son. He’s 16.” Huh?! I said: “Wait a second. There’s NO WAY you have a 16 year old son!” It was at this point she told me she was 35! That’s OK, I have friends who are that age, but I would have NEVER thought she was over 30. NOW, just when I think it can’t get any better, she tells me she actually has 4 kids!!! WTF!? Strike 2! 3! 4! I had to be honest. I told her she definitely looked great for someone who’s had 4 kids [but she's clearly not MY type!]!! I decided it was time to go. I told her I’d call her sometime to come out to Orchid. Maybe I’ll introduce her to one of my older friends, and maybe she’ll bring the baby-sitter out with her! lol I bumped into her again while we were walking out and she said: “Oh! It’s you again, I thought it was another cute guy coming to talk to me!” Nice…just what I needed to hear from a 35 year old with 4 kids!
