Yep, I most definitely have a crush

Yep.  There was another girl he was talking to as well, plus a third one was all "give me a huuuuug" before he left, so I think they just are friendly.  Who knows. 

Wanna know what sucks even more? He was getting ready to leave and my girlfriend stopped him to tell him all about her busy schedule and how she wouldn't be there next week.  I could tell by the look on his face that he didn't care.  She had her arm around him the whole time.  He came over to us first, asking if we had sung yet (it was about 10:00, so well after trivia time).  He asked her, then he asked me, then my guy friend.  I briefly tried to convince him to stay, but he said maybe another time. It was the first time he had directly spoken to me, and she completely dominated his attention (or tried to) and the conversation.  I tried to get a word in, and she spoke over me.  He asked me to repeat myself, so I did.  Then she continued on with all the things she had to do next week, and the week after...and the week after...ugh.  She gave him a hug goodbye, standing between us.  He reached out, like he was going to give me a hug too (maybe?) and she wouldn't move, nor would my guy friend who was standing in the way.  He really couldn't, though.  Can we say CLUELESS???  After he left, she went on to flirt with at least two or three other guys.  I think she thinks everyone loves her, so she must pounce around the bar talking to every soul that walks in.  She left me alone at our table for quite some time, so I moved to the bar so I would feel more comfortable sitting alone.  I saw her standing at the door, talking to someone outside.  I assumed it was my trivia guy.  Turns out it was this older lady who we all agree is crazy.  She walked back in with her, their arms around each other like they were best friends.  Then she said, "Sorry- I was detained."  Whatever.  I suppose I could tell her I'm interested in the trivia guy and she needs to back off, but every time I tell her something personal like that she gets all excited that she knows and blabs to everyone.  The good news is that she says she won't be at trivia next week, just there for karaoke, which means she will not be there to dominate the conversation if he comes over to talk.  My guy friend will still be there, but this week he brought a friend (a friend that I suspect was picturing me naked, but that's another story) and they were engrossed in conversation most of the time.  Hopefully he'll come again and I'll get some time to chat with Mr. Trivia. 

The baby isn't back, by the way.  He says he isn't giving her back until my sister "proves herself."  Whatever that means.  They are filing for temporary custody on Tuesday (he doesn't know that), but that just seems like so far away.  He could disappear by then, or forget to feed her, or drop her, or get too drunk to know she's sick...or so many other things.  I was going to go home this weekend, but I changed my mind.  I don't need the stress and anxiety that my mother will cause me over it.  I'm the only logical voice in the family, so I'm just expected to fix everything.  I just can't do that right now.  

My sister is living with my mom right now. This is the second time he's done this. He gets her all riled up until she snaps, then he lets loose on her. He's a jerk. The good thing is that I'm pretty sure the police know what's going on. I'm planning on going home tomorrow to visit. The baby better be back by then.

Well, unfortunately I have had other things on my mind the last couple of days. My sister's ex is pulling crap again. He had my sister arrested Monday night for domestic abuse. She apparently kicked him. He left bruises all over her arms, but she's the one who got arrested. He kept the baby, and as of last night my sister didn't have her back. My mom's all in a tizzy because he keeps saying he has a restraining order and "papers" giving him custody. Yet neither of those things is possible. So my 11 month old niece is currently living with her abusive father and his two? three? friends who all get drunk (they're underage) while she sleeps. One of the friends apparently got in my mom's face, too. You just don't do that to an old lady.

My oldest sister and my niece (the one with kidney problems) are on their way to my house now, back from my niece's surgery to remove her stent. We're going to iHop for dinner, then I'm going to trivia. I'm definitely ready for a drink. Maybe my "I'm stressed and feeling crazy" attitude will be attractive to him tonight! I should probably change my clothes and stuff. I was thinking of wearing my super boobs bra tonight.
