Saturday night I
was putting on the Ritz, all suited up in my black tux and ready to have a little fun. The evening began at 6 pm
with cocktails so I started out with 1/2 gel pack of SOE on wrists and neck. I wanted to project a little manliness
as well so I added a drop of unscented TE to the back of each hand, covered with my new bottle of Pheros. I was on
the move most of the night circulating through the crowd and keeping the bartender supplied with whatever he
needed.
I received my fair share of drive-by hugs and shoulder pats. I was surprised to get a hug from "Mrs.A",
first ever hug from this lady. I kept the SOE freshed up with the remains of the gel pack from time to time as well
as touching up the Pheros. I didn't add any more TE that night, just the two drops from earlier.
As it was an
open bar the booze was flowing freely but I didin't really get a good buzz going until around midnight. I
eventually depleted my SOE packet and switched to a Chikara gel pack. I applied 1/2 pack over the remains of the SOE
I was wearing. Thats when I got my biggest hit of the night and I didn't even notice it was happening. I was
talking with "Mrs B" and it was a nice friendly chat as far as I was concerned. After a while "Mrs C" pulled me
aside and warned me to be careful of "Mrs B". I asked why and was told that she and a bunch of the other ladies were
concerned that "Mrs B" was apparently "hanging all over me", her words exactly. "Mrs B" has a husband who is the
jealous type, she is also the same lady that zoned out from the TE my forearms last week by the way. I took this as
an opportunity to gather up a bucket of ice for the bartender.
I was oblivious to the signs. I was
drinking rum all night however, and had a good buzz going by then. "Mrs C" seemed amused by my cluelessness. My wife
was not amused though, that much is certain. I patched things up with my Mrs without much trouble. I think
the 'mones were a big help with that.
I'm sure alcohol played a big role in the general friendliness of the
folks that night. I'm convinced that the 'mones helped me out, if only for a general confidence boost. I think it
was more than just added confidence however. All in all it was a successful evening and it's a lot of fun exploring
the social aspect of these fine and interesting products.
