Okay. First, an order of business: I lost my phone last night. It is red and not fancy. If you have any idea about it, please call me at work: 206.296.5440. Or email, that will work too.
Second, the following is copied from a gchat with Nick this morning.
Preface: Nick was kind enough to take my drunk ass in last night (no, he did not take my drunk ass, and yes, I remember), and I woke up at 8 to discover that my phone was gone. I always leave my helmet hanging on my bike.
9:25 AM me: OH. MY. GOD.
9:26 AM Nick: hahahah what now?
me: so, I'm leaving your house, right?
and walking toward my bike
the location of which, btw, was totally unclear to me
9:27 AM I'm realizing just how late I'll be-slash-tired I am, that maybe I should take a bus, or at least get some food
I reach into my bag for my wallet
IT'S NOT THERE
I don't exactly freak out as much as I start to make a serious Plan for what I will do when I get to work
9:28 AM stop any payments, find out when monkey pub opens, because maybe they'll have my wallet and phone and I can call them and all will be good
but on the inside, I'm all tied up in knots, discovering just how drunk I was and how many mistakes I made
9:29 AM Nick: wow
me: walking (I think, but at this point I'm not 100% sure, and I can't call you to double check because, as you know, my phone is gone) toward my bike
Then, about two blocks away, I see my bike wheel
I get to my bike, discover it's not really locked, vaguely remember struggling with the lock and giving up
9:30 AM I thank my lucky stars that I have such a cheapass shitty bike that no one would want to steal
because not only is it cheap, it's not even cool-looking cheap
and then
the best moment of my life in the last month or so
I FIND MY WALLET IN MY FUCKING HELMET
9:31 AM Nick: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
me: yeah
I have no idea what's going on
there's even CASH in it
9:32 AM so
Nick: !

go register
me: if you could, maybe, post to the forum about my phone and give this number
Nick: that sounds like a fantastic first post
me: oh awesome, I'll do it myself
Nick: I need an excuse to stop talking about you behind your back.
hah!
9:34 AM me: fuck you
9:35 AM also, I might still be drunk
9:37 AM Nick: nice!
I didn't notice you get that drunk!
9:38 AM me: neither did I
That's the long version. Short version: I had a helluva good time. Glad to know you.
!!
