Week Night Adventures

I went out last night. On a Wednesday you ask. I know, it’s impressive. It’s kind of going to be my new thing- going out during the week. I moved to New York to experience New York, so that is what I am going to do.

I also went out a few Wednesdays ago and got a little too liquored up. Needless to say, the next two days at work were extremely painful. Today is better. I certainly do not feel completely normal, and my stomach is randomly churning in an uncomfortable manner, but it is better than last time.

My mom and dad picked up on the fact that I was a “binge” drinker during college. I think the picture that my brother found and threw in their face of me squatting eyes wide with a beer funnel in my mouth may have tipped them off. After this they sat me down for a little talk wherein they said it is so much more “attractive” and “potentially less embarrassing” if I simply get one drink and nurse it for the night. The sip and hold trick if you will. All the drunkies around you think you are drinking but really you are sipping and watching them be assholes. Eh.

Last night, for example, was so fun. I saw two good bands, the music was going, I’m dancing…its times like those when you think to yourself keep the booze coming. Game face? On. You give me a drink, I will drink it.

Luckily our after concert plans fell through and I went home and drank some water. And now I am alive. Hopefully someday soon I will grow up and into the sip and hold. Until then I will just dream of the morning that I am sitting in a NY diner and I look at my still drunk friend and say “I’m not hungover. I didn’t even get drunk last night.” And then that friend will get up on the diner table and yell “ohhh DW’s all grows up! And she’s all grows up and she’s all grows up!” That’s right. I don’t know which one of my friends would actually do that, but that imaginary friend is awesome.

PS
Worst part of the subway= the walk back up to the platform. Insert stranger’s ass in your face. It’s like that Nike ad that people claimed was homophobic but this situation is neither homophobic or racist. Just straight up “that ain’t right.”
