Girls Night (Flowers)

Song of the moment: Gwen Stefani - Rich Girl

This week has been absolute madness.. so it was good to have something to look forward to on Friday night: Girls Night Out. My friend Jen likes to throw these girls night out events once in a while, a night where boys don't matter.. it's all about the girls. The night, like every girls night we've had, started out at Jen's apartment. We chatted, had some snacks and drank. We had some pretty wicked martini's that were made up on the spot (one is depicted above.. taken w/ my camera phone :D). I got drunk really fast, partially because I'm a cheap drunk and 2 martini's are WAY above any limit I can usually handle before getting into the uncomfortable-drunk phase. It's strange.. I think I've drank more as a grad student than an undergrad student.. odd huh? And yet my tolerance for alcohol has not increased. I'm slowly beginning to think I'm allergic to alcohol (it makes my skin itch.. isn't that a sign of food allergy?). Anyway, after chillin for a bit, we all put flowers in our hair (the theme of the night.. last time was umbrellas). If anyone was to ask us about why we had flowers in our hair, we went with the same faux story as the one we used for Umbrella night: "We're out celebrating our friend's first orgasm" haha! Last girls night we had a lot of guys guessing who it was.. I had a few guys come up to me and say "It's you right? I KNOW it's you!" WTF? haha! We headed out for a night on the town, but the club we intended to go to was closed (on a Friday night? Are you MAD?!) so we ended up goin to the Funky Monkey. It started out ok.. the DJ was dropping some wicked tunes.. but then it got annoying.

The place, in my opinon, was WAY too packed. every 10 seconds I was being pushed or had someone wearing a cold jacket brush up against me, giving me a cold shock. I almost got elbowed in the face by that ridiculously tall guy :S At one point, there was this really drunk-outta-his-mind guy "dancing" near us but he just kept bumping into us.. so I asked him "Are you retarded?". HAHAH he didn't hear me, but his friend did, told him and they moved away from us! haha! Oh my lip is gonna get me in trouble one day...

I really enjoy these girls nights out. Why? Most of my friends are guys.. and I think this is the first time since high school I have a group of girl friends that I can hang out with and do girlie stuff with. Not to say I don't have any girl friends, I do! Just.. not in a group like this :)
