just dance

so i deleted my last post... i feel a bit ridiculous for posting it... but i was SO upset at the time. ah well, live and learn!

onto more important and happy things.
well.... kind of happy.

the good news: i had a BLAST sunday night. i went out with all my co-workers... and true to restaurant-fashion, they're crazy! but crazy in a party-all-night way. we started off at a rooftop bar. loved the place! it was super chill and you would never know it was there! definitely a local spot. cheap drinks, chill vibe, nice views. after that, we went to king's cross. i've been dying to go there! we went to two different places: world bar and moulin rouge. the first place closed shortly after we arrived, so we moved on to moulin rouge. i would say moulin rouge was a new experience for me. i danced my ass off for about 4 hours. i was dripping sweat by the time we left. they played pretty intense techno/trance, which is not normally my style, but everyone was just having such a good time. it was contagious! plus, people here don't grind on each other like they do back home which is sooooo refreshing. i can just dance around and not have to worry about being harrassed by various sketchballs. i shared a cab home with one of the guys from work. (his name is allistair -- possibly the coolest name ever!). apparently he lives a block away from me! we're practically neighbors! i was excited about that. he was cool and super nice. he paid for the taxi, which i thought was very gentlemanly of him. it's the small gestures that make a big impression. plus, i'm always looking for new people to hang out with.

the bad news: i lost my phone. it really sucks because it's a prepaid so now all my contacts are gone and i have to buy a new one. and they're kind of expensive considering how crappy they are. i don't know how i lost it! i remember having it with me at the first bar... and i swear i put it in my purse before we went to kings cross!! but apparently, not. i've called it a few times... but no one answered. and i checked back with the bars... also to no avail. *sigh* i'll have to be more careful next time i suppose.

OH, and today i got asked for directions!!!!!!!!! how cool is that? not only did i get asked, but i actually knew how to direct the person to their desired location. i'm SUCH a local. :)

the weather is back to gorgeous. i think i'll take a ferry out to one of the islands tomorrow. such is the life of leisure.
