Journal TechnoLust's Journal: Meeting GMontag (& a cute blonde waitress) :-) 47

Journal by TechnoLust
So I met GMontag in Knoxville tonight. My roommate asked me where I was going, and I told him Charlie Pepper's in Knoxville and he wanted to come, so he did. GMontag is cool, if you like big military types that look like Christopher Walken and sound like Adam Corolla. :-) Actually, I didn't think he looked like Walken, but my roommate did after GMontag mentioned it. I did think he sounded a bit like Corolla when he said something Corolla might say. He's a nice guy, albeit very blunt. Normally, I wouldn't think much of someone who asked me if my house was clean, and when I said yes, told me that meant I was gay. Especially if they then said that since I drove a Japanese front wheel drive car instead of an American all wheel drive truck-like vehicle, that confirmed I was gay. But I still thought he was a likable guy even after he said all this. (I do think I redeamed myself by 1) not having a show on BRAVO, and 2) hitting on the waitress.) Oh, and to top it off, he said he didn't think that I was cute (which was a relief), but then he admitted that he didn't know what made a guy cute, so he'd have to take Bethanie's word for it.

So we talked about who we knew on slashdot, and what our jobs were, and all that fun stuff. Dealing with technically inept people. Some of it was way over my roommates head, but GMontag knew a lot about the radio biz, and my roommate is just getting started as a DJ, so they had some stuff they could talk about. We talked about slashdot some more and I told him about meeting Bethanie, and he talked about why he and CyranoVR were mutual foe/freaks. He also told me a story about his ex-psycho, and I was priveledged enough to see the Hacker Jeep.

Our waitress was a cute little blonde in pigtails. When she came by and took our order, I ordered a Long Island Tea. She carded me (and I immediately thought of daoine). He said something about it and I said, "She knows I'm over 21, she's just trying to get my address so she can come by later. She thinks she's sneaky but I'm on to her." She laughed and then read my address out loud and said she'd be over after she left work. Later, she was over near the bathroom and some guy grabbed her and she screamed and I looked over and he let her go. She came over to the table and I asked if she was ok. She said something about yes, but she those guys almost drug her into the bathroom and "gang banged" her. I told her she looked distressed and I had been about to rush to her aid. I told GMontag I could probably get her to my house and in the hot tub and write a JE about it. He offered to "help me out" by telling her about how "famous" I am on slashdot. I said, "Yes, nothing picks up girls like letting them know you are a celebrity to geeks worldwide." :-)

So she came back a little later and brought me another LIT, and I quizzed her about my address, thinking she would definitely have forgotten it since she's had to remember drinks and food orders for about 10 tables in that time span. To my surprise, she said it quickly and correctly. Then she said, "I get off at 3am, and I have to clean up, so I'll be there about 4am." I smiled and said, "I'll wait up." When she came back by to check our drinks (I switched to water at 2 LITs since I was driving.) she asked if I needed anything. I said, "Well, a hug would be nice." So she hugged me. When she brought my bill, she definitely received a nice tip (which is probably what she was after). My roommate had to be on the air at midnight, so we headed out a little early. When I handed the waitress the credit card slip, she hugged me and repeated my address and said, "I'll be there around 4." I hope she was just flirting, because I'm going to be in bed at 4am. Although if I hear a knock at the door, expect another JE in the morning. ;-)

      • I am actually a very light sleeper. I leave my work pager on vibrate at night, because the gentle hum it makes is enough to wake me up, and the be-beep, be-beep sound is the most annoying sound in the world.

          yeah, I got a cell phone in may and had this default ringer that resembles a normal phone except for the tone that my father and I have concluded is like an empty can of beans can bouncing on asphalt :)

          i hated to have it ring because i also have developed a certain hatred of phone ringers, which oversteps the phobia line sometimes.

          anyways, in practice, i use the vibrate function and have realized that for some reason i am fond of the
          • I keep mine on vibrate during work hours and at church. (I wish everyone else would, I'm tired of phones ringing during service. Maybe I'll put an announcement up on the powerpoint next week.) The rest of the time the ringers are on, but I have downloaded some cool ones. My default is the theme from the original Super Mario Brothers. Nothing announces a call like 8-bit Nintendo music. ;-)
            • Heh ... My ringer is from the old Atari game "Pitfall". It's the sound the game makes when he jumps on a rope. Sounds like a HEAVILY digitized Tarzan Yell.

    • But then again, I'm not one to putup with shit like that from anyone...
      Nor am I. I'm nonviolent, except when someone is hurting women* or children. However, in this case, they were merely flirting, but they were being a little too physical. A stern look in that direction and they dispersed. She came over to the table and was joking about it. I doubt anything would have happened, but I was ready to go over there if it looked for a moment like she needed help. I'm sure GMontag and my roommate would ha
      • TL, it's time to stop coddling the castrating feminazis. If they have a problem with being stuck up for, then they can kick your ass after you fend off the bad guys. If they have a problem with you holding the door open for them, they can fucking go through a different one, or wait until you've gotten tired of holding it open, and then have their turn. They want to get on the elevator last? Fine. You can catch the next one!

        You should not worry your head one little bit about having good manners. Screw the
      • I saw the lead up, the nutty waitress (more on this in a general response on the meeting) was going along with the guys, let out a shreak then had an interesting story by the time she was back at our table flirting with TL.

  • My roommate asked me where I was going, and I told him Charlie Pepper's in Knoxville and he wanted to come, so he did.

    Did he invite himself along? I ask because I'm curious about whether or not people do that.

    I was taught to never invite myself out with people. Instead, I should invite them to go with me. It seemed reasonable, so I never bothered thinking about it.

    From what I have seen, it seems that people usually don't invite themselves, except for the rare occasion.

    I figure that if anybody would know

    • I asked him, but if I hadn't he would have asked if he could go.

      It really depends on the relationship. My roommate and I are fraternity brothers and friends as well as roommates. We are way beyond the point of worrying about rules and things. It is a lot easier to live with someone if there is complete honesty. As for yesterday, I know him well enough to know that he would want to go, so I asked him. He knows that I do not stay out late on weeknights because I work. However, some nights I get really

      • Thanks for the details of how things are said. I can't say that I'm in the same type of situation, but every now & then I find myself in situations, where there would be dead silence. I think that they're waiting for me to say something. I'm waiting for them to say something. Even if I politely talk about something else so as to not invite myself out, & to change the subject, they seem a bit surprised. Whatever.

        I'll take your comments, & apply them.
