Boxing Day

Cosmic is driving, I'm riding shotgun. I give M a call to let him know we are outside. M hops in the back and I turn the music off.

This is a sarge night. No fucking around tonight.

Cosmic wrote:You mean like no Choding around?

elektro wrote:Yes exactly. I want to pull tonight, no fucking around, no dancing for hours, no hanging out. We are sarging. Don't treat me like a god, if you want to point out a set for me, then go for it, I don't give a fuck. Let's do this.

I love challenges. Nothing gets me more motivated then to prove someone wrong. It isn't for the validation, it's for the love of challenge. Earlier in the day I had been called out by a friend. I was going out tonight with a fury.

The day began with me being called out. Someone didn't think my skills were where I thought they were. Someone thought I made an excuse for everything. This lit a fire under my ass. I went on with my day, and was very excited to finally be done all my medication. I've had pneumonia for 2 weeks, and had only been to the club 3 times up until last night. I had already pulled once (I will post about that sometime). When you go out every day for a year, it drives you crazy not being able to. I had 2 weeks worth of energy to get out. Anyone who has been out with me since my sickness has definitely noticed a change in energy level. I'm well rested, and ready to go.

M and I made plans to play some hockey. I'm finally better so I'm able to go outside. Ddot gives me a call and wants to come as well. So does my little brother. Awesome, we go out and play, it was a lot of fun. It was also extremely tiring. I drop M off at 815pm with plans to hit up Roadhouse for 930-10. Sitting on my computer, I'm exhausted. Cosmic gives me a call and asks if he can tag along. I rest until 9:15 when I finally hop in the shower. I turn some house music on to pump my energy levels, and The SAINT throws me a coke to help wake me up. Cosmic arrives, and off to M's house we go. I let them know what is up, and I know within 2 minutes of being in the club will make or break the night. That first set is key.

I'm in the middle of telling a story to the guys when we arrive to the Roadhouse. There is no line. Some tool wearing a hoodie gets denied. Get with the times brah, it's Friday night, you need to dress the part. I walk in and flirt with the cover girl quite a bit. I let her know Santa didn't bring me anything, apparently I was too naughty. Once inside, the first beer tub has a friend of mine working. HUGS! I also tell her the Santa story. Once we walk off, I stop the guys to finish the story, when out of the corner of my eye I see 2 girls walking our way. I use my version of The SAINT's famous finger pointing opener. Mine is calibrated for my time, I'll explain them both.

The SAINT points at the girl, and when she notices, he extends his hand (palm up), pulls her in close, and asks what her name is.

In my version, I point to the girl, and when she notices I wave. Using good tonality, I say "Hi How's it going?". With the right tonality, you will get them to stop. You can pull them in from there.

These girls stop, and we begin to talk. The target is an HB8, and her friend is a SU (Super-Ugg). Apparently the SU didn't register in my reality, because I noticed I ignored her quite a bit at the start. Once this became conscious, I began to kino her a lot, and play with her. I'm kino-ing like crazy, telling the girls it's ok and throwing my arms around them, etc. I want to figure out logistics quickly, and ask who they are here with. Only them, ok, good. They proclaim they are best-friends, and I ask if they've ever done the best-friends test. I honestly cannot remember the last time I did that, but it was pure gold. I noticed my targets nails are painted black, and let her know my black nails are cooler. I also pointed out that both of them wrinkle their noses when they smile. Every time they smiled for the rest of the night, they thought of me. I also call my target a barstar. This was funny to me, because I'm a motha fuckin' barstar. Fuck, I feel bad for either Cosmic or M, one of them will have to wing me on this. After a bunch of playful banter, lots of kino, and a bunch of false takeaways (from body-rocking), I tell them to lock-up (extend elbows) and we are going to check my coat. In line, they start whispering. I announce this is a no-secret-circle, and whispering is not allowed. The target tells SU that she must tell me what she said now. She tells me that my target always finds the little and cute ones. I give her a what the fuck look, and she says: "You're cute and little." I ask them if they've seen my beach ball, and do the "it's this big" flexing motion. I'm friends with the coat check girl, she's hot, the social proof of super hotties begins! In the next ten minutes, these girls saw over 10 HB8+'s come up and give me hugs, etc. Actually at one point I figured this was either going to make these girls wet as hell, or blow me out because they don't think they are on my level. My target proclaims that I know everybody here, and I'm the barstar. I pat her and say you're so cute peanut.



I don't know where either of my wings are (probably hiding), so I let them know we are on a mission to find them! I find Cosmic, he's in a set at the bar with a cute girl. I just keep walking, I didn't want to disrupt the moment. This is key guys, don't go social proof your wings every single time they are in set, you can kill the moment they are having. It's a tricky thing, but to social proof properly, you must time it properly as well.

I stop off at the original spot where I met them to wait for Cosmic, when M walks up and starts winging. Ok sweet, while the SU is distracted, I poor on the kino, begin whispering in my targets ear, and kiss her cheek. I put my arm around all 3 of them, and say we are going to dance. We dance for 2 songs, and I don't really like the vibe it's giving off, so I put my arms around everyone again, and walk back to where we were standing. Now I heard them say something about going outside, and I knew it was only a moment before they said they would be going to the smoke pit. It was very subtle. I didn't want to set the frame of me following them yet, so I asked them if they smoke. They say yes cigars, so I spin it (to continue with the frame of leading, them following), and say Ya I need some fresh air, let's go outside. Perfect. On the way outside, they are in front, and run into 2 other friends. Shit. I hop in the middle and start talking to them. The friends aren't really vibing back, so I just walk off to the smoke pit with M. This is one of a few important moments. If I haven't done my job, they will either not come out to smoke, or they will but won't come join our group. I open a 3-set of dudes beside me, and shortly after the group of girls come out. They are very hooked now. Now M and I are shining outside. One of the friends is hitting on him blatantly, and asks if he will show her his ass. I let her know that's my boyfriend and to back the fuck up. Everyone is eating it up, we are just having fun, whatever.

Cosmic joins the group, and I announce we are all going back inside. Once inside the girls go to the bathroom. I'm not worried, they will come back. I run into two HB9 super good friends of mine. Cosmic, M and I walk off and station by the railing. We are talking when the two girls come up to us, and then walk up to the bar. Another big moment, if they get drinks and don't come back up to us, it's lost. Of course they come back. Shortly after, we are standing by the bathrooms, when the rest of these girls friends come up, and they say they are going to the whiskey. Fuck. This is bad. My girl is asking me to come with them, and I know it's not fair to Cosmic or M to bring them there. Nor do I really want to go. I grab her number. I was kind of pissed off because I want the pull, but I also live near the whiskey, so I may be able to still do this. I could have easily gone to the Whiskey alone with the girls, but I'd rather stay with my boys. She leaves, but while she's walking off, I see her looking back to try and see me. I go dance. I dance with one of the HB9 friends, and we go at it pretty hard. Not like slow-dancing, actual dancing. I'm getting looks from a ton of girls, and I know half the bar just saw me rocking out with this girl.

I look over to see Cosmic and M working a 2 set really well. Nice. My phone vibrates and I get a txt from Gemini asking where I am. I'm just standing against a railing, when the 2 girls they were talking to walk off. I let Gemini know where I'm at, and point out two 2-sets walking towards us. Cosmic opens one, M opens another. I'm just standing there. Cosmic's set walks off, so he wings M. I send my target a txt: "How's the whiskey loser?" I jump in the set with my boys, toss in a nugget or two, and go back to standing by the railing. I talk with Gemini.

I receive a reply, and the txt message conversation goes like so:

E: How's the whiskey loser?
HB: it's packed, you totally should have came, i didn't want you leave you
E: im having an after-party at my place. you're invited but only if you promise to behave.
HB: hahaha oh come on i never behave
HB: we might come back to roadhouse
E: That would be splendid
HB: We have to walk though I spent all my money
E: Let me know when you get here

Now my wings and I are outside having a smoke, and it's freezing. I open a 2-set saying I'm joining their circle because it's cold (they were under the heat lamp). They mention there is no circle it's only the two of them. Sureeeee. I'm standing there, my boys join me and we're vibing. I open a 5-set behind me, and merge the whole smoke pit. Good times! M realizes one of the girls in the 5-set is a girl from way back, and it was awesome seeing her. She is really into M, and really into me. I'll give M first dibs. She also has a SU with her. Aww fuck. So I help wing him, it's not really hard, she isn't cock-blocking, she's just there. For about an hour I help him out with this, open other girls, merge them in, we go dance, whatever. 1:30am hits and M is ready to bounce to a lounge. We've been doing this lately, bouncing girls to a lounge before we go home. The guys don't try and cock-block at these places, and it's chill. My target and her friend come back into roadhouse. Instantly the target comes up and kisses me. When the SU saw that, she pulls the friend into the bathroom. I know what's going on. Throughout the night the SU (of my target) had been kino-ing me a ton, and was super into me. Fuck. They come back and the target isn't reacting how she normally does. It's clear the SU is cock-blocking and getting mad about her getting me. Shit. We go dance, this isn't going well, I tell them we are bouncing and they are coming with. We grab our coats and off we go.

I grab my girls hand and hope the SU is going to just deal with the fact I'm not choosing her. Cosmic is helping to wing me. Poor guy. M pulled his 2 girls in his car, and will be meeting us at the lounge. It's about a 2 minute walk to M's car, and my target and I begin to skip ahead. I realize she probably won't kiss me in front of the friend, so I begin to run and tell her to come it's adventure time. I pull her around a corner, and throw her against the wall. Make-out time! We drive to the lounge. Now it's 1:45am so we only have a few minutes. I am trying to figure out more logistics, and know M will need a wing to get his business done, but so will I. My girls seem to be set on going to a party, with my girl txting like crazy. So I send her a txt (while sitting right next to her) saying: "I like your smile." This gets a good reaction out of her. Being that my girls are going a party, I let Cosmic know I will help M out after we bounce, when the girls get a txt saying the party is off, or something. Greeeattt.

So the lounge is closing down, and we're all hanging outside. I ask M what his plans are, and he says they are going home and he's going to go sleep. Looks like Cosmic is winging me, so I ask the girls what they are doing now? Nothing they say. So I announce they can come party with me at my place, and we're stopping for pizza on the way. After the pizza stop, we get home. In the elevator the girls are being brats and hitting all the floors. So I have to caveman my girl and hold her against the wall. She seems much more open to being physical in front of her friend now. Once inside, Cosmic tries to isolate for me and tells the SU that she has to check out the couch - it's so comfy! When they walk out, I cave man my girl against the wall in my room, but she soon walks off to check out the couch too. Fuck. I throw on a movie, with the hopes of having the SU get into it, and being able to "show" my target something in a bit and get it done. Deep down I'm aware that the logistics are really shitty right now. We throw on a movie and I'm cuddling with my girl. About mid-way through, I announce I need to show her something and to come with me. No dice. Ahh, I figured that would happen. About 30 minutes later Cosmic sends me a txt saying he's tired and wants to go. I know this isn't going to go further, so the last resort is saying the girls can get a ride with Cosmic or stay here. My girl has to work in the morning, so they go with Cosmic. I'll day2 and close I guess. Either way a fun night.



Now, to address something:
When I go out with wings, we are there for each other - no matter what. I will wing for them, they will wing for me. It's just how it is. It's a first come first serve basis. If you pull, you will get the winging you need. Period. Now earlier I made this comment:

I was talking about how bad I felt for Cosmic for having to wing those girls, but then again, it's his fault for not pulling himself. "You pull or you wing. First come first serve. "

A reply to that was this:
"he could have just peaced out and left you with the obstacle"

Now, of course he could have taken off and left (both) of us with our obstacles. But why the fuck would he do that? Why would I (or anyone) go out with someone who wouldn't wing you (no matter what?). It all comes around in the end. I remember one night staying up (when I worked in the morning) all night to help wing The SAINT for a pull. I remember being all pissed off, but also, realizing he would do it for me any time as well. And sure enough, he has definitely stayed up all night and helped me wing when he would've preferred to sleep. This is how a community should work properly. And that is how you get good karma on your side. Knowing Cosmic did that (or even simply knowing he would do it), makes my performance winging much better. I'm not sitting there winging hating my life, I'm winging like a rockstar knowing I'm helping my buddy out. I hope that attitude is shared by way more people.
