A lucky escape indeed.  He himself was no prize, cheating on the girlfriend I found out about later.  I had fun otherwise, so it wasn't a wasted evening, but I told him just to forget going out with me ....EVER.  I haven't heard from him since.  :)  Much better flyboys out there...;)

Temple, I have been meaning to stop by here for days and when I did I got quite a shock. I hope you are feeling brighter. There are some people with whom logic, conventions, decency doesn't hold. It seems like it may have been a lucky escape from flyboy if that is who he chooses for friends

word.smith, yes, I will do that.

Thanks for your concern.  I'm going to the chiropractor next week for an adjustment and x-rays. I'm still hurting, but I really think it's because I'm just still not as strong as I should be.  I'm working on it though. :)  That whole little group was drama I think.

Temple, do get yourself checked out.

From the sound of it, you took a pretty hard blow and I know how excruciating back pain can be. 

Some of us just need to be the centre of attention and when that doesn't happen - mad chihuahua mode.

Yes, bizarre is an excellent word to describe it!  It's on par with the wierd stuff that happens in my life.  Thanks for reading! ;)

Whoa, how bizarre is that?

Hope you are better today!

Passionflower, thanks for being concerned.

I've been posting comments, but not posts...which I don't do very often really anyway.  I'm very sore still, which is not great, but I'm fine I'm sure.  I'm sure no serious damage was done, just parts of my body don't recover fast since they were damaged from the accident....from work or play.  I expected it to take a while, and if it takes longer than normal, I go to the doctor and get x-rays on my back.  But, I'm sure it's nothing.  Just old football injuries and a bit of a wounded ego. ;)  Thanks for checking in on me. :)

The child sex abuse in France?  No, I'm sorry.  I don't know it.  This really was a far cry from the serious situation you are describing.  Thank you for reading.

Cass, it would have been fun to see you in action!

I used to love to fight, but I'm just different now....as you mentioned.  In the end, I'm glad I didn't hit her back.  I feel better about it.  :)  There was no way anyone was letting me near her anyway, but I still feel better about it.

Hi, I was so sorry to hear about this and concerned

That you haven't posted for 3 days. I do hope you're doing all right and weren't seriously injured. Please let us (your blogging family) hear from you. God Bless.

Violence in men is deplorable : in women it's an abomination.

Have you read about the recent child sex-abuse case in France? Now, that was a real shocker! Of the 65 defendants sent to jail 27 were women.

These people were not only abusing their children themselves, but were selling them for sex to other child predators. And their payment for this?

A carton of cigarettes of a food parcel!

Was this a one-off case ; or part of a wider trend? Clearly, the role of women in child sexual abuse requires some investigation

I never could understand the females who resort to violence. I mean really, why the hell would they bother getting themselves into something that results in messed up hair and broken fingernails? In a way I'm glad the Buddhist in you came to the fore, but at the same time I'm furious that the security there did nothing. If I had been there I would have taken care of her (I've got my security licence, have done baton training and am not Buddhist!). Take care of yourself - ok?

Reni, actually I don't know the Chihuahua's name, I could never remember it

It was an exotic name that I couldn't remember all night.  I only remember Rochelle and not anyone's last name.

mystic, nobody was mexican.....

I just used the dog name cuz she was short and spastic and ridiculous.  She was like Greek or something, her friend was white, and he was black.  There was no time or anything to protect myself from, that's the thing.  It was nothing inside, and psychotic outside for no reason.  Probably because, as I found out when he called to ask me out, that he has a girlfriend with whom he has a son.  They should have hit him, not me, and I'll not be talking to him again.

jimmy, wow....it's been so long, it made me happy to see you here. :)

I'm glad you still read.  As far as bars, you know I gotta dance, so what's a girl to do?  It's a rare occurrance that this happens.  I wish I would have ducked, too, but it happened to fast and I really didn't have time to think she would do anything.  I think I'm just sore and it will be fine, besides, it's good to still get to have some war stories, right?

offbeat....I'm okay :)

I'll take care of it if there's damage, othewise I have other places to put my energy. Thanks for checking on me.

Ya know...You DO know what Chihuahua's name is. I'd press charges

and name her as an accessory.  Maybe the cops could make her cough up a name.  Just a thought.

Temple - you always have to protect yourself, always ...

especially around Mexicans. There's this loyalty thing I don't understand. I had the same thing happen to me in reverse. A girl who was a friend of a married guy, we start flirting, and next thing you know I've got his gang all over me. Always protect yourself. Always.

I do still read you know...

sounds like too much drama, which is another reason I don't go to bars anymore. Wish you's ducked instead of going down, hope you are OK...

God, I wished I were with you last night! Son of a bitch, what will happen if your X-rays show damage? Someone is at fault here... I am calling you!

Mi Madre, really, it's okay...there were so many lovely others around us.

Flyboy himself  seemed alright and he and Erik were getting on well, too, talking Navy talk.  There really wasn't that much drama inside the club, just little childish antics (I can't imagine the fool that married that other girl, the one that didn't push me), which is why when it exploded outside we were all slackjawed.  Especially me of course.  This isn't the gun toting scene, this particular club, and this is only the 3rd or 4th time I've even been clubbing since I lived here this time.  But, Erik was here and I looooove to dance.  I had so much fun and the bruises will heal, plus I have a good story.  Besides, this flyboy isn't even a real flyboy.  He flies P-3's (Orions) which are the laughing stock of the fliers according to my navy friends, and next weekend, I have a date with a real life flyboy.....jets.  Guess what?  He lives HERE.  Aren't you proud?  I know he's military (which I had sworn off of, but DAMN, I'm surrounded), but he's here for two more years and he's fun and lovely and smart.  My first date after Jimmy.  How weird will it be to like, have a traditional date. :)

Oh, and that girl?  Rochelle?  She pushed me face to face.  I'm just so not the fighter anymore I didn't even think she would do it, and it happened so fast.  Leaving before last call is good, that's when all the trouble happens.  But, in the end, at least I still got a few good war stories in me. :)  I've been missing and thinking of you!  Hope all is well.

oh battered temple........you should have walked away earlier.

Walk away from all of them earlier in the evening, much earlier, next time. The signs were there that you were in a crowd of immature people and immature people will push you into cars, etc.  A younger you would not have turned her back to be pushed and rushed like that. You are in the middle stages, when you are more mature but the crowds around you are not and danger abides there.

I am so sorry.

 My youngest son decided this year to walk away from clubs as the men and women there were not into controlling themselves like adults anymore and bullets were flying in the parking lots and on the dancefloors and women were fighting in the bathrooms.  Highschool at a much older age. He stays home now as he wants to live longer.

I am so sorry.

I'm glad you are okay.  You sounded so blue and then you were gone.  I look forward to hearing from you.  Sweet dreams. :)

I'm not sure if he will give me her last name or not....all his friends will be mighty pissed at him and he knows I won't go out with him now, so we'll see.  Thanks for the sentiment, heroes are in short supply these days.

I still think he would get you Rochelle's last name - I'd like to hit

Smartdog! I'm soooooo happy to see you!

I was worried.  Nah, no violence for me.  I had fun with him while I had him, and was hoping for me...and if I was a woman of lesser morals, could be having much fun with him later, but....read my comment to Holy Grail.  It was a great night up to then.  I'm glad you're back.  Email me and let me know how you are.

Holy Grail, I have a great right hook...

I wish I just gotten off one good one to Rochelle and messed up her jaw or broken her nose.  But, I don't really wish that..I would have felt bad about it, believe it or not, and I walked away still feeling good about how I handled it.  Those bitches were crazy.  I called Flyboy after it was over last night to see if he would give up Rochelle's last name, but he didn't answer.  But, that left him my number.  So, then, he text'd me this morning to apologize for Saturday and that his son and his son's Mom were in town and he would call me later.  I told Erik that this guy was hiding something.  So, around noon, he's at training on base and he only stayed with those girls until he got into a hotel on Sunday, he calls.  He's here for a week.  He asks me out to dinner for next Saturday and I ask, what about the mother of your kid, are you two together?  Guess what he says?  We're working on it!  What the fuck?  Uh, no, sorry, I'm not going to go out with you if you are with someone else.  He tried....aw, c'mon, we can just have dinner, right?  I said, how would she feel about that?  He agrees she wouldn't like it very much.  Damn, man!  I've already been knocked down by one of your bitches, harassed by another, I don't need your baby's mama wanting to throw down.  He knows damn well I didn't want to just have dinner unless he was on the plate. :)  And I know the feeling is mutual.  So, happy flying there Flyboy...buh bye.  He's persistent, the conversation ended with....can I still call you?  Oh boy.

Holy "bleep, bleep, bleeeeeep..."

That IS wierd. I hope you had fun with fly-boy anyways - and that nothing has hurt your progress in healing.

My advice? Buy a tazer gun, drop that bitch to the ground and make her jitterbug until her eyes roll into the back of her head. Then say, "oooops! Did that get you? Sorry, I haven't figured out how to work this thing yet." Hehe. Uhhhh. Anyways :)

P.S. sorry I haven't been around in a while. But it was good to read your story.

Good god woman!!  I can't beleive that happened to you.  Well, yes I can.  I have a theory that freaks are attracted to the kindest of hearts, even if they don't know it.  Just one of the many wacky, inexplicable things about the universe. I really hope no damage was done to your back (or anything else.)  Girls are so stupid sometimes....Take care of yourself.  Let me know how you're feeling!! 

PS - Sorry, but I have to say I wish you'd beaten the shit out of both of them...

Yeah, I think I got an A+ too.

I wondered if "bar fights" in the title might bring you in. :)  All the real drama happened outside, but it sure was rediculous.  I guess I'm just older and wiser in ways, but the Buddhist in me really believes in our philosophy of "to harm none."  I was so calm, it was strange.  I'm glad mostly because she -- they both -- just  looked like the bigger idiots.  Plus, there was only a DJ and alas, he was inside and already gone from the booth.  Maybe I'll come rock it with you out there sometime.  Help you weed out some of them scary wemminz...those I apparently know well also!   You know what sucks though?  I don't mind a bar fight if I get in one good swing and I've got a great shiner, but no fun war wounds though.  Damn.  When did I get all grow'd up? 

That Flyboy missed out, too.  He was only here for a week and I had plans for him.  Poor dear.    And I remember everything and kept my cool after 4 shots of Patron silver, chilled please, and many beers, plus an apple martini just to keep it interesting.  Gotta love a girl that can hold her liquor and talk to the police perfectly rationally.  Good ancestry. :)

You don't need a schedule.

You just passed Asswipe 101. Sorry all that happened. Some folks just live for drama, add a few shots of personality, and it becomes high drama, with you starring in a lead role you never knew existed.

It's different with the band. I can watch all this unfold and know where not to be. And when I have the psychos approach, I can now extricate with the greatest of ease.

Take care.
