xx2112xx Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 (edited) My 26th birthday was on the third, and being the awesome one that she is, my significant other surprised me by taking me out on a casino cruise over near Cape Canaveral, FL. Despite the ship theme being way too touristy and flamingo laden for my personal taste, we had a blast! After playing around with some slots and blackjack (this was her first time in a casino), we hit up my favorite game, roulette. I like to think of myself as very level headed, I always only bet minimum and keep myself in check when it comes to sticking with a budget and not overspending my predetermined limit. That being said, I like all my fellow Rush brethren, have my personal eccentricities. That includes, yep, you guessed it...Betting 21 and 12 on every single spin. She's a wonderful sport and didn't complain once, however, over time, I could see that she was beginning to question my sanity by betting the same damn numbers...every...single...time. She would place three one dollar bets on quarters and I'd place two one dollar bets on those two damn numbers. The chip reserve continued fluctuating, sometimes higher and usually lower than before. After two hours of (proudly) standing steadfast with that fan boyish system, 21 finally hit! Woot! I looked at her and gave her that coy eye that screamed, 'See, I toada so!'. See laughed and quipped back, 'yes, yes. Now if only we had won more in the 300 other bets that we lost from ALWAYS betting those two!' Business continued as usual as more bets were placed. 'No more bets' said the dealer with a tenacity that screamed she would rather be anywhere but here. The ball spun, and bounced, and bounced, and finally, it bounced some more. Bam! 12! Intoxicated, I screamed as loud as if I were a tween girl seeing the biebs for the first time (not that I would know how loud that is, mind you) /shifty eyes. I was so happy and on top of the world. I couldn't (or wouldn't?) shut up about it the rest of the night. I fired off poor form metaphors about the whole occurrence the rest of the night. She's reading this now and I just want her to know just how much I loved my birthday this year and my life would not be the same without her. Thank you, pet! Signed, like a boss, xx2112xx TLDR: I went to a casino, played roulette, hit 21 then 12, back to back. I'm a romantic sap, but at least I'm getting laid tonight!
