holy shit, did i strike lightning tonight
so, there was this singles meetup that went to. i was a bit hesitant to go because 1) herpes girl was going to be there and thus i'd have to deal with some potential awkwardness and 2) i didn't think there would be many other worthwhile potential other chicks since it was said on the meet up page that it was going to be a low turn out with mostly dudes (as is usually the case with these types of things, sadly). but i decided to go, primarily for one reason. i met this smokin' hot babe at the last one of these events. we talked for a bit, but sadly very briefly and any opportuntity to familiarize with eachother was cut short due to the chaos at the time.
so i was hoping to see her again and give it another shot. initially i thought she wasn't going to show up, but she did eventually later on. unfortunately, she was pretty much stuck at one particular table the entire goddamned night (in a somewhat amusing/shitty coincidence, she was seated literally next to herpes girl, so that made things extra difficult).
anyway, i was waiting for any opportunity whatsoever to have a moment alone with her, but it never came. after the first hour or so, i figured things were hopeless and i thought about going home. but something inside me just told me to stick around (being real here, i think i was just laziness). so i stay the rest of the night until the hosts at the venue kick us out. i see her leaving before me and i was hoping to catch her in the parking lot. i went after her after a bit of waiting, and noticed the parking lot was mostly empty, so i figured i'd just missed her. very bummed out, as you would expect.
so i stand around at the side of the building we were in and i was looking on my phone to see what the closest burger king was to drown my sorrows. but then, fortune smiled upon me. i heard her voice talking to someone. i guess she must have been in the bathroom or something and just came out. she walks by me, and i say hi to her using her name. her eyes lit up when she saw that i remembered her name (and made it clear verbally as well), and said she remembered me from before, but apologized for not remembering my name (which is fine. i have a difficult furrener sounding name, so i wouldn't expect anyone to remember it after hearing it once, even if they WERE into me). we made a little bit of small talk, and i complimented the costume she wore (it was a halloween thing).
let me just interrupt the story here to point out that at up until this point, i wasn't expecting much to happen. i had no idea what i was going to say, what my next move would be or anything like that. i just wanted her to remember me and hopefully make SOME kind of impression.
so what happens next, absolutely floors me: she asks me if i wanted to exchange numbers. this happened so fast and sudden, that i'm still in a daze. but she did! she really DID!

see, it's not just a matter of me getting "a" girl's number. she was easily by far the most gorgeous woman there, which is saying something because there were definitely a handful of girls that were decent competition. i mean, just based on the male to female ratio of the place, i thought it was virtually impossible for me to get ANY girl's number, let alone strike the goddamned jackpot.

it's funny how shit works out. i'm so glad i made the trip after all. and because the disappointment suddenly turned to celebration, there was no longer a need for the services of burger king. for tonight, i dined as
a true king: at taco bell
tl;dr i got the number of the hottest chick at this party i went to. went to taco bell to celebrate
