| Erik's birthday dinner. |
We both stayed in today and I worked on my web site while Erik did some work. In the evening, we went out to dinner along with 2 of his friends to celebrate Erik's 41st birthday. It was a nice restaurant but we had to wait a long while before we were served. The waitress kept us entertained by giving us some free beer and such.
Our dinner finally came and I got a dish with grilled pork in a brown sauce along with fresh mixed veggies and potatoes. It was actually really good but the portion was small - for everyone. Some people got steak, which was no bigger than a hamburger patty. It's not too good to not able to understand some of the conversation that went on, but I managed to enjoy myself nevertheless.
After dinner, we headed next door to a club for some more drinking but I left after an hour, feeling a little lost and not too impressed with the club scene. I headed home on my own after that and went to sleep after a while. At about 4, I heard Erik come in with other voices. I thought there was only one woman but it turned out to be two.
A fat girl with bad teeth burst into my room after a while and I woke up as she got on my bed and started talking to me, trying to get me to come outside. I was not in the mood at all and I smiled weakly, saying that I was tired. She stroked my chest, trying to persuade me but eventually just left. Ack!
