Name: Tim
Age: 32
Height: 5′11 (Under 6′ again. Perhaps now is the time to officially label me ‘desperate’).
Employer: A media company (this is a point where I am actually impressed – I like multi-tasking; dating & networking simultaneously is hot).
Digs: SoHo. He moves every year (similar to me – therefore I deduce he too is a commitment-phobe).
Bar Locale: A West Village locale (apparently he is a part owner and known as “Timmy” & also as “Timbo” while on the premises).
Alcohol units consumed: Technically probs 3 or 4 Lime Ricky’s, although I have no way of knowing as it was home of the never-empty glass and they kept refilling good ol’ Timbo & I. Therefore, let’s say 1.
Time expended: I have no idea.
Overall assessment of my level of intoxication: Pretty bad. I teetered home and passed right out (minor lie – I did have the sense to stop and get ice cream from Mr. Softie) and did not get up until 9:02 AM, therefore causing me to bypass the traditional shower in lieu of the Mexican shower to make it into work at a semi-decent time. And I have Go 4 tonight, which means now after work I have to run home and put myself back together, ala Humpty Dumpty on grain alcohol and hard liqueurs. Oh, bother.
Additional commentary: He is a divorcee (winner card #1), he is currently being sued by his previous employer, for stealing away their clients (winner card #2), he was just on a two week “vacation” to the upper west side where he refrained from alcohol and coffee and partook in yoga and such. When I go on those types of “vacations” it typically means I did something really really bad prior to said vacation (winner card #3).
Side note on the winner card I play: I received a MySpace message from a horizontal friend of ‘04 and he actually used the phrase “knock boots” in reference to why I should get my “fine ass” to Florida ASAP. “Knock boots.” Wow.
