"As the world spins around her, she laughs, rolls her eyes"

So, I might be done with Club XS for a while. I haven't fully made up my mind yet. I'll explain why in a bit, but first, I figured I'd share what I'm pretty sure is the definitive conclusion to the Michael Saga (an epic tale of Graham finally liking someone who isn't a total jackass.)

So, as we knew was going to happen, Michael was at XS last night. He picked up Jason on his way, so the two of them came together. Not that kind of together, I guess, although they were barely away from each other's side and totally flirting -- but, the cool thing? Even though I saw this, I was okay!
Besides, you can't blame anyone for flirting with Michael (and it's hard to blame people for flirting with Jason too, I suppose). Michael was wearing his green t-shirt that says "single" on it (you've all seen people wearing it, I'm sure) so it's not like there was a hands-off vibe either. :P Still, there was a marked less-interested vibe I was getting from Michael (and in case you're wondering where I go that idea from, he said "It was good seeing you again" when we were saying bye -- never a good sign :P). Not that that's a bad thing, I'd rather have that than a "I'm totally into you" vibe and then never see him again, right? Of course right.

Anyways, moving on to Club XS...
So, a large part of the whole financial ruin thing going on in my life (and this is by far not the only reason for it, but it's a major contributing factor) is that they didn't let me know when I wasn't working there every weekend anymore. Thus, my budget for January was fucked up because that's a substantial amount of money I wasn't getting that I was expecting to get.
But it was kinda okay, because I still wasn't paying to get in, because technically I still worked there (I was told -- when I came back and found out I wasn't working -- they might occasionally bring us back for special occasions.)
Until last night. Last night I had to pay the five bucks to get in -- which I suppose isn't a lot but it's more than I'm used to paying.

And to make matters worse, I got a ticket. XS has a small and basically useless parking lot, and apparently that is now officially the only place to park. So, hopefully they'll get the memo: time to stop spending so much money on fancy lights and guest DJs and start actually making your club better or at least make parking better.

I'm just a little irked with that whole situation.

Oh, and there's more about last night!
Guess who finally made another appearance! James did! James and Brad arrived at XS at the same time as me, and even though I can tell you I am still not over him, I was able to hear about James' boy that he met in Atlanta without feeling jealous at all!
So I'm either starting to move on, or starting to grow up. I'm not sure.
