Well it all started off with a quiet drink with some of my friends from work. I invited my friend Lee out but he couldn't make it until 6 o'clock. We had a couple of drinks; he told me off a bit about gushing over Craig to Jason all the time last week before he decided to go home. He was going to walk me home, but I was feeling kind of bad about myself so I decided to go to the Jailhouse for one drink, and to see Steve and Lou, who I haven't seen in like forever. So he walked me to the Jailhouse. He trusts Steve, and knows I'm amongst friends, so he was happy to leave me there. I sat in my usual corner and this dude sidles up to me and is all like 'Why are you hiding in that corner? You're the most gorgeous woman in Lincoln... etc. etc.' I was very close to calling Lee again and getting him to rescue me but I thought, no, I'm a big girl, I can diffuse the situation. Then I started getting texts from Jason checking up on me. He thought Lee (who is his housemate) was flirting with me, and of course he's still wound up about Craig. I got annoyed with him and turned off my phone, and started crying about it to this fella. He kept saying 'The man [Jason]'s a bum', and to be honest, he was right. Jay just won't even attempt to better himself, and it's sooooo frustrating.

Anyway he offered to walk me home, and we got chips on the way. We were just talking... He seemed nice. We got to my house and, er... love ensued. (I have hickies to show for it, and I'm gonna totally get ribbed about it at work on Monday... ) Since I'm not officially with Jason, I didn't feel guilty, but I totally felt like Blanche DuBois this morning... dependent on the kindness of strangers... The worst thing was he did not learn my name until this morning, so that made me feel like a bit of a skank. We exchanged numbers; only time will tell if he calls me back... I hope so; he has a terrific butt!

I also went out this morning, in the freezing cold, without a jacket. I felt after treating Jason like a total douche (although he can be), it was no more than I deserved...

Oh God, I forgot the golden rule of this thread: If it hurts or it's embarrassing, shut up, no-one wants to hear about it!
