sweet drunk Queens boys and bags of blow

things we don't like:

1. random guy comes and sits down next to us at orchard bar last night. it's around midnight or so, so it's not at peak time in the bar. he seems kind of wired - i'm later told he was coked off his head. i'm far too crap and naive about this shit.

"you're both lovely - but i'm gay, i'm allowed to say that! what are your names? heather and ashley? okay! [well, no, but nevermind...] can i buy you a drink? hey, i have a load of blow! you want some?!" he says, waving four packets of charlie at us.

[my initial thought: he's a cop.]

2. how fucking defensive i'm being at the moment

3. that flights back to the UK are not really within my price range right now

4. orchard bar once it filled up. it felt kind of over.

things we do like:

1. the fact that crazy coke guy (who probably wasn't a cop, just incredibly unsubtle) got punched in the face by some other girl he was trying to pass his coke off on later.

2. sweet drunk Queens boys whose friends had disappeared with his cell phone and his car. he was standing outside orchard bar looking a little lost and asked us to be his best friends. we helped him use the payphone to call his friends (he was a bit drunk to use the phone). he was saying he hadn't drunk alcohol in 2 years, but his buddy was back on leave from fighting in Iraq and had thought it was a good idea to start again. and when i said i was from london he was like "i'm really sorry about the shit that's going on over there." he was sweet.

3. this apartment i get to housesit that i saw today. man, it is sah-weet. and there's a hott roof deck. sooo good.

4. i found a copy of 'God, Jr' in shakespeare & co. on bdway
