Have you ever had a night so bad that the next day you are literally reeling from the realization that you are lucky to be in one piece?

Went out with work friends... that never turns out well...

Went to one of their houses, just me and two of the guys from work, we got drunk at the house and then cabbed it out to downtown. We go to the Skyway Lounge... crappiest strip club EVER! then went to The Drink...

After about 10 minutes there they kicked me out. I don't know why, no one knows why, I wasn't uber trashed, I wasn't beligerant, I was doing nothing wrong. So work friend #1 takes me outside, puts me in a cab by myself with $20 and his house key and sends me off.

I get to his house and realize the key must have fallen out of my pocket in the cab. cab is gone. stuck outside friends house with no jacket for about an hour.

That's when it gets good. friends neighbors come home, see me waiting outside and invite me inside to warm up and wait.

Friends Neighbors = Crack Addicts.

Once in they wouldn't let me out. The first time I tried to leave they led me to the bedroom, which I nicely diffused, they kept offering to 'warm me up' and offering me some snortable drug, who knows which kind.

I finally just started opening ever door I could find to get out of there and was able to leave. they tried convincing me a million times that my friends weren't home yet, and blah blah blah.

So I leave, go next door and they are home, they thought I'd just went home to my house and they'd been home for an hour. I walked in the house and just started crying. One of those cases in which you don't realize how upset you are untill it's over and that's when it hits you that you were lucky to get out at all...

So the boys get pissed that I was treated like that (which was kinda adorable) and decide to go over there and like, defend my virtue... I tell them not to, it's not worth getting beat. they go anyway... till they realize the neighbors are large black men... they are scrawny white boys. intimidation was in play...

So they call the cops I have to give a report. blech.

Then we smoked some pot and went to bed.

Feeling very grateful right now that I'm not... anything. That I'm okay.

I've never been more thankful to just be okay.
