Valentine's day with the gals
Valentine's day with the gals was alot of fun. We ended up going to dinner at a Vegetarian Indian restaurant and then to a Belgian Bar where my friend Subee knows the owner. Shaie (pronounced Shy) is a Bangladeshi man who lived in Belgium for awhile. The bar was really neat. The sign for it is kind of nondescript...not flashy at all and the actual bar is not right up against the street. To go inside you have to go down a small outdoor corrider where there is a small courtyard. The bar is totally lit with red and orange lighting. It is very dark and plush. The Belgian beers are wonderful too! Shaie seemed really nice. Subee says they are just friends but I think there is an untapped chemistry between them. Subee, if you read this, I don't want to freak you out but I also felt the same way about my sis and her friend Stepan. They are now engaged. The next day I had a one day gig at a company that produces software regarding currency exchange for banks around the globe. My job all day was to 1) answer the phone and appallingly 2) print out and type emails for the president of the company who does not "do" computers. Did I mention this was a software company? Note to self: Reaffirm commitment to not be dependent on temp agencies.
Saturday night my friends Jim and Andre had me over for dinner. Jim's collaborator, Dick, was there also. Jim and Dick write musicals one of which is being performed in May in Wisconsin. I really, really hope I get to see it. The meal was fabulous: spare ribs, sausage, sauerkraut, potatoes. It was a hearty,traditional German meal. Yum. I remember when Grandma K used to cook sauerkraut and I thought it was the most vile concoction imagineable. I can't get enough of it now. And everytime I eat it I think of Grandma...which I think makes me love it even more. After Dinner, I rushed off to meet my friends Scott and Kambri and some of Scott's friends. We had a fabulous time! We went to a place called Bar D'o. It was a great time. Here the drag queens don't lip sync; they actually sing live which was nice. We had so much fun. Scott's friend Kevin is a very handsome and sweet guy too. He was a lot of fun. He actually has a twin named Kirk. Mom, don't get any ideas. Alas, both are gay. Yet another testament to the phrase "all the good ones are, sweetie." After a scrumptious late night breakfast I made my way in search of a bus home and the newspaper at about 5am. Sunday I recuperated.
For those of you who don't read the comments it seems I have a mysterious stranger lurking in the closet that is my past. I know he is an acquaintance from Wichita Falls, and we were both members of the youth group. I know he went to Notre Dame, had a thing for gum and made pizzas when we were kids. To be honest I don't remember alot of people from youth group. I don't know why that period of my life is such a daze but it is. Maybe because I was deathly afraid of an impending move to the big city of Fort Worth, but I don't know. So everybody say hi to the mysterious stranger. Mysterious stranger: Keep in mind that my mother reads this journal so anything embarassing or secret should stay that way. Please? I don't know why I'm worried. I was a complete angel at that stage of my life.

Mysterious stranger - Meredith's sister here - I'm not sure I know exactly who you are, but I also live in Austin....we should get together and remember Mer's angel days sometime :-)
Meredith, if he was in SHY Roger would probably remember him - I'm find myself very curious!
Love from Brazil :-)
