Night Out With The Boys

Last night was some good fun. The new guy friends i made were having drinks, so one of them picked me up. In the space of half an hour, i'd met two sets of parents, which was slightly bizzare. Then it was just me and seven or so other guys. The one who'd picked me up had forgotten to mention that i'd be the only girl, but the boys were pleased to have me there - i scored bonus points for not bailing, for keeping up with their jokes and for drinking beer. Go me :P

We headed into the Stag after awhile - but the stupid security people wouldn't accept my ID! It had a photo and my DOB, but it just wasn't good enough for them. So, the boys went inside and i hustled into a taxi home. The taxi man waited outside whilst i raced in to grab different ID and then went back out again. When we got back to the Stag, the nice taxi man cut the fare in half, because he pitied me. Hurrah for my apparenty feminine wiles. I went inside and met up with the boys. We hung out there for awhile - i bonded with the guys,we talked sports (i now know that the Superbowl is American Football and that the Patriots lost the final after they had won every other game that season. How smart am i?!). Soon after, we left.

We walked to Swish, via HJs. One of the guys and i were getting along really well. We talked girls and guys, admired the awesome lights on North Terrace (which are really cool, btw, and definately worth seeing!) and whatever else was on our mind. We waited in line - i was complimented on somehow 'gracefully' -his word, not mine - getting up onto the wall where we were sitting. He offered me his hand when i, very ungracefully, jumped down. Gentleman! We got in eventually. From that point, it was four hours of drinking and dancing. It was boiling hot in there, but we had a blast! Some of the girls met up with me in there. I had an awesome time with the guys - they're some of the nicest people that i know, so friendly. They were really nice to the random girl who just showed up to party with them! Just a little smitten with the lot of them.

Got home at four, ouch! The girls went to sleep, but there'd been some other things that had happened over the course of the night that weren't sitting so well with me and i couldn't sleep. I went and sat in the bathroom with my cat, lights on, just thinking. So it was after five before i lay down on the floor to sleep. It had been a long night - can't wait for the repeat!
