Me & Little Tattoo Kid

Apparently he is now my new best friend! We had so much damn fun this weekend. He managed to get a ride to my house on Sat. and met me there when I got off Job #1. I had to get ready for my gig and the sheriff dinner. He was going to wait for me at a Starbucks or something while I was at the dinner (I felt bad about that but he didn't care)... and THEN my escort, Dep. R called to say he was having car trouble and was going to be totally late to the dinner. I said never mind, don't worry about it, I would take LTK with me. Then I began to freak out b/c I was in a nice black dress and was all done up pretty but LTK had no "formal" clothes with him. We had a drink while trying to decide what to do, and after a minute I decided that I didn't give a damn if LTK wasn't dressed up enough, although we did roll his sleeves down and button up his shirt to hide at least some of his tattoos, heh heh!

So off we went to the dinner and we walked right in and came face to face with the Sheriff--so LTK got to meet the Sheriff which I found completely amusing! And since there had been a LOT of no-shows we were at a table all by ourselves, which kind of annoyed me at first but then I decided it would be more fun for LTK and me to have our own server and could sit there and yuk it up together and be silly. Mudflap and my other pals were at a table nearby and we said hi to them but their table was full. It was better for me and LTK to be by ourselves anyway b/c he kept talking a lot of shit in my ear like he always does (how beautiful I am, how I should date him, how great we'd be together, etc. etc. etc.). It wasn't even all that "formal" anyway, my Sgt.'s husband was just wearing a button down shirt and slacks, like LTK. The food was really, really good although I didn't eat very much of it. I have lost another couple lbs. recently and in fact, my dress actually felt a little loose. I was so glad to be sharing the experience with LTK though b/c he really does crack me up all the time!

I still hadn't heard from the musicians about where the gig was although I knew they wanted me there around 9. They finally called while we were at the dinner (!) but I wanted to see the big video that had been produced about us so I told them I'd be there at 9:30. We watched the video and then me and LTK blew that joint and went to the gig. I told LTK we would be in a very Hispanic neighborhood and he asked if he might get jumped, to which I told him that wasn't nothing gonna fucking happen to him while I was around!!!

Unfortunately yes, the drunk Mexicans at the party were giving LTK a bit of the stink eye all night b/c he was a white boy and he was with me, and he had also rolled up his sleeves and I made him unbutton his shirt so his chest tattoos would show (b/c I think they're HOT!) and there were a couple of kidding/not kidding comments that I heard which pissed me off, but I was trying to just ignore it all b/c I was there to play for one of my drummer friend's 40th birthday party and it was a happy occasion. I was just nervous as hell b/c it turned out to be a trio and we just started pulling out songs and I just tried to keep up best I could. We took a break and drank and did a couple tequila shots which helped my courage. I even let them talk me into singing "I Ain't Drunk, I'm Just Drinkin'!" One very funny thing happened though: LTK came up to me and told me the drummer's wife (also an old friend of mine) had told him that she wanted us to take a shower with her. I thought that was a strange request, but I said, "She wants to take a SHOWER with us??? Uh...OK!" and he said, "No, she said she wants us to take a SHOT with her!" We told her what I thought I had heard and she thought it was funny too.

Around 1am is when we finally stopped playing and I just wanted to go home and get in bed with LTK and cuddle. As we were leaving and my guitar player friend was carrying my amp for me LTK was ahead of us carrying my bass and there were a bunch of those damn Mexicans in the street yelling at each other, threatening to shoot someone. Oh my God, give me a break. So it was definitely time to leave. My guitar player friend asked me about LTK and how old was he??? Hee hee hee. And also said that I seem to like the rednecks (guitarist is from England though!--LTK has a thick South Carolina accent) and I said yeah, my ex-husband was a redneck too. And then, right after we left I got a text message from Marvin saying he'd just missed me and that everyone wanted me to come back! Like hell.

LTK and I slept 'til about noon yesterday at which time I decided it would be fun to just stay in bed all day long and do nothing but watch movies and be vegetables. Oh, and drink a little, too! And there were so many good movies on cable, too! 1st we watched Silence of the Lambs. Then we tried to watch Snakes on a Plane but we both fell asleep. Then it was The Shining. Then School of Rock came on! Finally Gladiator but by that time we'd decided I needed to take him home b/c he had to be up so early today (6am). I totally missed him after he left, but he left me his shirt which I'd been wearing all day and he had sprayed my pillow with his cologne. I had given him a break and let him kiss me goodnight when we were home in bed after the gig and let him kiss me some more all day on Sunday. I still haven't decided how much further I'll let him go. I feel like Linda Hogan and her little boy toy that helped her after her divorce. LTK is definitely NOT dating material b/c he has some serious personal life issues going on. But he is such a gentleman and acts completely respectful towards me and treats me so sweet, which I haven't had in such a long time, and he is very cute and he makes me laugh and laugh and he is open and honest and I also haven't had that in forever, either.
