The Mike Haddad Show: This is relevant to my interests.

Last Friday when Miguel told me that 5ive was closing, I totally didn't believe him. I mean, it's Miguel. I take what he says at face value, and then try and verify it. Now if he was to say "I'm so drunk," I would reply with "It's 10:02 a.m." but I would believe him. He was convinced, having heard it from every fag on his msn list. So I decided I would prove him wrong. I went out with some of the people from my floor to get wild because getting wild is what we do best. By getting wild I mean we predrank way too much, went to Seven West to drink more before walking over to 5ive.

Only, 5ive wasn't open. There was a big poster on the door saying that the closing party would be September 20th at 9:00p.m., and that cover was $10. That's what I get for doubting Miguel on something in the wonderful world of faggery. So we went to Fly, I got really drunk and that was that.

At that point we had made plans as a group to go get as wild as we could at the closing party. It's what I'd been looking forward to all week, as pathetic as that sounds. It's actually more like what I'd been looking forward to since Tuesday night because I got really cranky. Not the point. The point is I went, and it was awesome.

As shitty was the music was for large parts of it, I had more than enough to drink to compensate. I also had enough people around me so that I didn't have to interact with a lot of the people I didn't want to interact with. For the record, if I've just told you how much of a jerk I think you are because you have no respect for other people's feelings, inviting me back to your place because your boyfriend is somewhere else isn't a recommended course of action. Just in case you were wondering.

More importantly than that, or the fact that I was bombarded with Vibe songs, or the fact that the security guard is so incredibly frustrated with me, is what happened right at the beginning of the night. Knowing that the line would be huge, I made sure we got there early. I have no problem predrinking, and then drinking more at the club while people filter in. It has the added bonus of being able to watch people as they arrive.

It's exactly why I saw Steve when he came with a friend of his. As I was collecting myself to go say hi, the (cute) boy he was with came over to say hi to Adam. My thoughts at the time: "Figures". So I went to harass Steve because it seemed like the cool thing to do. I also made him do sing one of the songs from Vibe because it had been stuck in my head since classes started. Conversation ended abruptly when his very angry looking exboyfriend arrived, so I went to talk to boy who knew Adam. Now, being intoxicated I'm sure I made an absolutely lovely first impression.

Conversation when something like this: "So how do you know Adam?" – "We worked together at Dairy Queen." Insert standard Oakville conversation about things like high school, and a really rude comment made about IR. That's when this little gem popped up in the conversation. (Warning: I'm using quotes, but I was hammered. So I could totally be misquoting, it just seems to make more sense as he was speaking) "I actually didn't even recognize Adam when I came in, I recognized you first." Confused Mike says "what?" and get the best answer in the whole entire universe. "Ya, I recognized you from your website." !!! Attention The Internet: I might actually pass as e-famous now. Score.
