"yo I accidentally spilled bong water on you last night while you were snoring"

Well, that explains why my left arm smells like a musty weed.

What an interesting night...
Can't get this song out of my head:

It started simple enough. My friend Ben had an awful day because his car went in for inspection and it hasn't come out yet and the total is around $900 to fix. So I picked him up from work, and he was shockingly in a better mood than normal considering the new debt he had on his hands. But, he said with a smile, "I really need to just get drunk and forget about things tonight," which I am always down to do. My life hasn't exactly been peachy either.

So we went to the ABC store only to find the woman who loves both of us and yet has never seen us together, that's when you know you've been going to the liquor store too often. Her expression got happy as she said, "YOU TWO!" We smiled and told her about our bad days, she found my testicle story hilarious.

The lovely lady of the ABC store found us a bottle of Tequila for under $30 that came with a complimentary sidekick of another alcohol that tasted like peaches. For the first time, I laughed about what a night it was shaping up to be as it was also one of my friends 21st birthdays last night as well.

About that friend, I don't think I ever even saw her last night now that I am looking back... (Happy Birthday Lindsay). But anyway, after the Tequila was finished, we bought beer before we went downtown. I had Dogfish Ale (9% alcohol), it has additional "hops" as McLovin would say, and Ben had Yeungling. Then we went to pick up Megan from her apartment who proceeded to drive us downtown.

FLASHBACK. I saw my ex boyfriend last night on the street as we were pulling up to the bar, the ass who makes me do everything for him and his roommate also named Ben. Ironically, that was the only time I saw them. To be honest, I was happy they didn't go into the bar we were going to, made my life a little easier. But it was weird nonetheless because they were standing in line... I guess they saw the gold, practical Chevy Malibu pullin' up. Ridin' dirty.

First Bar- Rhino Club. And yes that is the real name. I am already pretty drunk at this point, so my bartender there, Paul Bar as he appears in my phone, gave me a Corona to settle me down. Nothing says relax like Cervesa!!! I saw a bunch of underage kids there, so we bounced because they were all friends of Carlo's and we wanted to meet up with the birthday girl and her roommate, Kayla.

Second Bar- The Liquidroom. This place is crunk. I forgot how much I loved shitty bars with stairs capable of falling down. We were only supposed to stay at this bar until 1 am and then go to the next bar where were going to meet Kayla and Lindsay, but Ben's friend had a birthday at this bar and shots and beers were going around like wildfire. I was content here, but 1 oclock rolled around and I wanted to bounce. Usually bar #3 is the badass, get low-type of bar.

Third Bar- The Sidebar. Walked in, no one there. Maybe 20 people maximum? It was very strange. So Ben starts whining about wanting to go back to his friends birthday party where the beer flowed like wine and we had our own VIP room. Megan and Kayla were both sitting at Sidebar and I thought they were going to come back but they didn't... in any case, Ben decides he's fed up with the Sidebar as he literally picks me up off of the ground and carries me out of the door ( I think this is where I lost my credit card, student ID, and gas card ).

Fourth Bar/Second Bar- The Liquidroom Part II. At this point, I am f******cked up, extra u's for emphasis. I start dancing and acting like an idiot as they start playing a Grease remix, I thought it was cool. I vaguely remember singing along and jumping like an idiot. Then I get a phone call from my friend in my psychology class. He was on the dance floor shortly after. He looks cuter than he does in class... But, my loyalty was to Ben last night so I kept conversation to a minimum as he probably just wanted to attempt the "tugging ball" trick I asked about in class--- How embarassing.

Well, finally after a long and exciting journey of going downtown, we headed back to Hunters Crossing McDonalds in hand. I don't remember what we were watching as we ate our food, and to be honest, I had completely forgotten that I ate at all until I saw the remains on the table this morning. Somehow I stumble into bed and probably black out, or at least I am assuming I blacked out. I vaguely remember bits and pieces of watching tv again while laying in bed, but this morning when I woke up to "Yo, I think I spilled bong water on you last night while you were snoring," I knew I had drank too much. Shockingly, I feel fine today- aside from the dizziness and need for sleep.

Happy ending? Yes! I woke up this morning to find that my cards were missing, but as I was calling to cancel my credit cards, my friend Anthony who I refer to as Atown calls and says he has all of my missing cards. Fantastic! Now I can call my mother back and tell her not to cancel my gas card before she f*cking kills me. 1 Tragedy avoided.

So, that was my night. It seemed like it was more my 21st birthday, Part 2, but all in all, it was a wonderful night. I wish I remembered most of it.
