Boys, booze, and buddies.
Oh, lord. Last night was total insanity. There was a great deal of drinking, even more dancing, and an absolutely unheard of number of men picked up by all of us. In other words, a good time was had by all!
Jamie had told me to go out and break some hearts, which I did in rather fine style. A charming fellow bought me a number of drinks, and I danced with him and chatted with him and did all the usual stuff you do when you meet someone in a bar. Except that I have NEVER EVER done that before! It was pretty crazy, but it was also a lot of fun. The best part was, at the end of the night, he kissed my hand, told me he'd had a magical evening and I was an incredible human being, and he was exhausted and needed to get home to bed. I didn't even have to come up with an excuse for not giving him my number! Excellent.
Stus got proposed to and got the best (by which I mean worst) line of the night: when she asked him what he did, he said he spent his time looking for beautiful women like her. Bear got the worst: "I'll call you when I have a condom!" Charming. This guy I met kept asking my friends if they'd met his new friend Sarah, a fabulous human being. All of us laughed so hard over the course of the evening. It was great.
Hermione was out with us too, which was very exciting. She's fun to drink with and fun to dance with, and I'm so happy that she's back in town. This was also the first time I've gotten drunk and rowdy with Chnaners ever since she broke up with her ex (who is turning into a real asshole and we're all thrilled she's rid of him), and she has become somewhat of a rabble-rouser, which just meant she was even more hilarious than usual, which is quite an accomplishment!
In addition to the obscene amount of booze and boys, the bar was also playing great music, much of which were the classics that the Power Plant, the bar on campus that used to kick ass and has now become sadly lame, played all the time.
All in all, we had a fabulous time. I'm freaking exhausted today and am definitely feeling the weird symptoms of being off my medication (yay!), which is not exactly my idea of a barrel of laughs, but I know what to expect from the times when I ran out of pills and was off them for a day or two, and I think I can weather it. I'm hoping it will fade before Christmas, because having a slightly wooly head is not particularly festive, but I'm extremely happy to be off drugs, let me tell you. Now I'm only filling my body with artificial hormones. Woo!
