Hometown Dance Club

I was given the name "Chopsticks" by a boy at Hometown Dance Club, I will post that story later, but for now here is a little (personal) background on the venue:

There aren’t many clubs/bars/pubs that don’t allow indoor smoking in Hometown. I don’t smoke, and being around smoke tends to give me bronchitis so I rarely go to any of the drinking establishments where indoor smoking is permitted, this leaves me with approximately five venues at which to imbibe. Three of these venues are best suited for groups of friends and/or dates, and of the other two one is often like the former three, but has some dancing some nights; the other is a jam-packed dance club by 11 most nights.

I love dancing, so when I decide I want to go out chances are you will find me at the Hometown Dance Club. I often go by myself, and it is often difficult to convince people that I realy am there to dance, so there will probably be many posts about this place.

There is a definite disadvantage to the smallness of Hometown. Because there is essentially only one place to dance, I see lots of people repeatedly who I would rather not have to see (especially when I am trying to just have drunk random fun/escapades). Some of the people I commonly run into at Hometown Dance Club are XFLHTF (I don’t mind seeing him – he is a pretty good dancer and can save me from overly-clingy newly met dancers, plus there is never any awkwardness and no “funny business” is ever attempted.), JFSB (Can be a bit awkward when he decides to dance with me, or that I need to be walked home – by him.), RBNB, and SBNB. SBNB goes there a lot. He also lives close to me, and has walked me home after Hometown Dance Club has closed before. Lately I have found myself avoiding going out, in part, to avoid seeing him. This has got to stop. This week/weekend I will go to Hometown Dance Club, I will have fun, I won’t get too drunk, and if SBNB is there – I will not be a bitch but I will not go out of my way to talk to him either. I’ll let you all know how it goes.

Okay missy - I changed your comment name. In the future you must log in as "other" or "Anonymous" though okay? Good.

Of course you are on here. You are one of my best female friends no matter how few times we have met IRL.

The Cast

These are the people who will be making re-occurring appearances in my blog. The cast may grow, shrink, or simply change with time. This is meant merely as a quick reference sheet to some of the players both for me, and for you.

Family

Mom Sarcastic, witty, caring, sometimes we drive each other crazy. I wouldn't trade her for anything (yes mom, I know you read this - I would write it regardless).
Dad Caring, artistic, musical, annoys me by pretending to know things he doesn't or by not knowing the things I want him to know. I wouldn't trade him for anything either (he doesn't read this…as far as I know).
LB = Little Brother Smart but lazy, my 18 year old brother spends most of his time in his room. He just started university (it was either that or get a job).

Females

FF = Forum Friend Although we have only met twice in real life, I love this girl. She is sarcastic, smart, fun, caring, and very picky about her coffee. She’s had a bit more life experience than I, so she’s a good one to talk to when I need advice.
SLN = Same Last Name A girl I knew in high school, then met again at university, then met again back in Hometown who has the same last name as I do. She is talkative, superficial, and occasionally artistic. She is a rather bad friend, but if you need someone to drink with you can call her (just don’t expect her to show up when or where you planned on).
PIPF = Pseudo-Intellectual Pseudo-Feminist A girl I knew in high school and re-met in Hometown. She is exactly like the pseudonym – a pseudo-intellectual pseudo-feminist. She takes great joy in being a bitch and in trying to be “unique” (although she sees it as being unique rather than as trying).
HSM = High School Mom A girl (younger than me) who I knew in high school. I re-met her back in Hometown. She has a kid and an ex-husband. Not too smart, but sweet, she likes to party and recently turned 21.

Males

XFL = Ex-First-Love The boy I spent ages (late) 15 - (early) 21 with. We lived together and loved each other for more than 5 years. I still miss him, but as a best friend rather than a lover at this point. He is incredibly smart.
XFLXRM = Ex-First-Love’s Ex-Roommate My ex’s old roommate/best friend. He is a sadistic narcissistic asshole, and he knows it. He is also incredibly smart. We still chat from time to time.
XFLHTF = Ex-First-Love’s Home-Town Friend My ex’s other (earlier) roommate’s ex-boyfriend, lives in Hometown. I first met him when the ex and I first started dating, and recently re-met him. He is full of energy, and quite smart. There is nothing at all romantic between us and that feeling is mutual (for once) which is nice.
JFPB = Just Friends Poetry Boy I met this boy in poetry class in university. I have known him for about 3 years. He has the potential to be smart, but he is too much of a stoner to ever utilize it. He is also creepily obsessed with me.
JFSB = Just Friends Short Boy This boy went to the same high school that I went to… at a different time. He is nearly a foot shorter than I am. He knew my little brother before he knew me. He is sweet and loyal, and we will never be anything more than friends although I suspect that is what he hopes for.
XMJF = Ex-Military Just Friends Boy A nice guy to have coffee with. He is smart and we hold diametrically opposed views on just about everything so he is a good person to debate things with. He would like a more-than-friends status but knows it will not happen and accepts that.
XMNTBB = Ex-Military Not-too-bright Boy Not too nice, not too smart. He showers attention on girls unless they pay attention to him. Has dated many girls in Hometown, we are all known as “alcoholic slutty crazy bitches” to him now.
NTBRBB = Not-too-bright Re-bound Boy Sweet (until I broke up with him), not very smart, and very in to material possessions.
RBNB = Rich Bad News Boy I met him through his writing on his blog. He is a narcissistic asshole. He is also friends with SBNB and NTBRBB.
SBNB = Smart Bad News Boy I met him through his blog and through RBNB. We kind of had a thing – for a little bit. He is very smart and quite sexy. He also plays a ton of games and turns most situations around so that he is the “victim” which is his favorite and often-played role.
