How is even that part of the night hazy? Started at Contour, but the phone&#8217;s battery died so I sort of lost track of the night. We ended up on the pier at some restaurant, drinking on a closed patio overlooking the sound, which was probably best under the conditions. I almost lost them as I was on my bike, we weren&#8217;t sure where we were going so I went off in search of something with a dead cell phone. But I spied them walking into a building, so I went to the bar-est looking establishment inside and Adam had left instructions with the hostess to send the &#8220;pasty irish kid&#8221; up to the bar so it worked out. After much arguing over food I got them to go to the Owl n&#8217; Thistle, where I left them because it was getting really late and I was risking missing BSG. <\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately my phone had died so I couldn&#8217;t communicate with Tori, as we usually ride together. So biked up to the shark, grabbing a couple tall boys on the way and made BSG. Tanya and Julie were there for BSG, which hasn&#8217;t been the case for a while so that was awesome. Somehow I left, came back for my bike lock, and convinced Julie and David to go to the Twilight with me. I had briefly charged my phone at the shark enough to check in there. We had a few rounds and the trouble cocktail having been hours earlier, I don&#8217;t remember shit after getting to the Twilight.<\/p>\n<p>I usually find solace in that when I do black out I&#8217;m generally not an asshole, I&#8217;m not so sure that was the case last night. My memory is all jumbled up though so I can&#8217;t tell what memories were dreams or stupid shit I actually did.<\/p>\n<p>In other news, I hadn&#8217;t seen this for a while and just ran across it again on okcupid. I wonder if I&#8217;ve posted this already? It&#8217;s funny, and accuratish.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Pure Geek<br \/>\n43 % Nerd, 73% Geek, 30% Dork<br \/>\nFor The Record:<br \/>\nA Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning\/being smart\/academia.<br \/>\nA Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.<br \/>\nA Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations\/interactions.<br \/>\nYou scored better than half in Geek, earning you the title of: Pure Geek.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not that you&#8217;re a school junkie, like the nerd, and you don&#8217;t really stand out in a crowd, like the dork, you just have some interests that aren&#8217;t quite mainstream.

Oh well, GMF, Art Walk and such things tonight. Did I make other plans today? Sunday? Man. I did stop by 20\/20 and get a couple spoke wrenches on the ride home though, maybe I&#8217;ll fix the schwinn this weekend. If I don&#8217;t I need to at least get a new chain on the trek before next week.
