So this weekend was the glorious American holiday St. Patricks day. Yeah, it IS an American holiday. There are more Irish in America than in Ireland anyways. SO, that is beside the point. I've been looking forward to St. Pattys for a while... like all year, since the last one (cause it sucked so hard). You can imagine my disappointment when on the day of the big event, I just wasn't feeling like it... I had huge plans to get completely sloshed and enjoy it properly with kilts, music, entertainment and friends. Well, I just wasn't feeling it that day. I got off work and I was just ready to crash. I wanted to go home, but I had already agreed to go to the Dog & Duck pub with some friends. I planned on making an appearance, catching a movie with a different friend. My plan changed COMPLETELY. So I get to the D&D pub, wander around, find my friend R and head over to El Mercado. I am totally okay drinking a margarita on an "Irish" holiday. So I ended up making some new friends that day. D&D ended up being waaaaaaaaay too busy for our liking so we went on the bar prowl. We ended up at hooters (my first time ever) and I was completely horrified at the number of disgusting men oogling the waitresses. I was also irritated at the fact that the waitresses were already skinny, but their uniforms forced them into a muffin top type of situation. WHY IS THAT NECESSARY?!?! I spent a lot of time complaining about the clientele. The food wasn't horrible, but I've had WAY better wings at Sean Patricks in SM... While we were there my movie got cancelled because of it getting sold out. Ultimately I was having a good time with the small group I was with so instead of going home I stayed in town. Dropped off my car at my friends house, and then we all headed off to Billy's on Burnet.
At Billy's we got some drinks and were just hanging out. It was a good time overall. I also got to visit with my uncle who lives three blocks away from the bar. Played some game called catch phrase with them (uncles party), kicked ass at it... and then I went back to my pals at the bar. My friend went home early and I ended up hanging out with my new friend for a while. At last call some guys walked in and looked around confused. At this point I was feeling a little fresh and sassy, which means tipsy, and they were looking a bit on the nerdy side. So as they looked around confused I said to them "You missed last call, you played D&D too late tonight." In hindsight I was probably a little mean cause they were only looking for a drink to chillax and hang out with their friends, which is exactly what I was there doing. IM SUCH A HORRIBLE PERSON. oh well, I'm sure karma will bite me in the ass like it usually does.
After Billys we ended up at LaLa's (which I used to live behind). Another first time place for me. It was really interesting. I didn't really look around too much, but it was quite the sight to see from what I could see. Its a dive bar, the second in my life that I've ever been to but it was more entertaining than the first.
Long story short I ended up having a great day and had an interesting twist of fate.
I didn't work out at all over spring break, and I felt like I did nothing but eat this weekend. One of my beers tasted like a bread sandwich. School is back in session, and I'm back on the bandwagon after I finish these chips and dip...
Aly.
