i ain't no "club rat"

I had two opportunities to go to clubs this past weekend. On Thursday, 198 and co went to Level 3 in Hollywood for annie’s 21st bday. After a frustrating drive from an intense movie name game while getting lost for about an hour, we finally got there only to end up in a long line. In a nutshell, the night consisted of: super-AZN people, an interesting lingerie fashion show with super-AZN models [who could not dance…let alone model], the amateur dj playing kelly Clarkson, annie getting low, boys’ dance battles, etc. Despite all that, we had fun, finally getting dressed up and taking a break from midterms and the usual setting [ie: the 198 living room or some kind of happy hour].

Then on Saturday, we headed to Belo in downtown sd for Jackie’s sister’s bday [which seemed more like Jackie’s 21st bday part two]. Some of the lowlights: getting questioned about my ID because it apparently doesn’t look like me (?), really gross musty room [reminiscent (but even worse than) when the guys come to visit in Irvine], getting water spilled on me..twice, the dj didn’t play usher after hours of anticipating it, seeing everything that Jackie ate/drank in the toilet, having to leave freaking early, and as always…creepers just staring at us dance/lame game in full effect. Some highlights included: pre-downtown Rodrigos trip (Mexican food withdrawal satisfied), finding close free parking, me & Jackie being “with the DJ”, Jackie getting down with everyone and her random drunken talk, and as always…all the pics like the ones below. After finally going home sweet home after many weeks trapped in irvine, it felt really nice to be with the usual sd ladies, all did-up and out on the town. I love knowing that, regardless of my absence, I can come home and these girls will make me feel like I’ve never left.

Me: I think it’s so much easier for guys to go clubbing.

Cacho: I think guys just know how to make the best out of a situation.

I personally think there’s so much that goes into going clubbing for girls. Actually, I think there’s too much social pressure that goes into clubbing on both sides. This next part might sound ultra-girly and pathetic, but OH WELL. So, besides the whole dilemma of “omg, what am I gonna wear?”, from start to finish of the night, I feel like it’s a constant battle for the ladies. Fighting off creepers, trying to dance with your girls without drawing in more creepers, balancing getting free drinks with not getting super-drunk, and my personal favorite…female haters. Guys can do whatever, dance however, and wear the same button-up shirt every time. I’m thinking that the biggest setback that they can get is a girl rejecting to dance with them [big woop]. Actually, then there’s the whole belligerent drunk guy getting into some kind of confrontation with another belligerent drunk guy, which is just lame. FYI boys, being a belligerent douche-box or aggressive on the dance floor doesn’t impress anybody…it gets you pushed away or kicked out of the club.
Nonetheless, I’m sure the clubbing experiences will always have their ups and downs. I think I’m gonna try to take the guy approach more and not be so worried of how other people are judging me. Although I’m over this whole being 21 thing, I still love the getting ready and dancing dancing so more places to explore. Vegas this summer?! Yeeeyuh.

Okay, so i lost my focus while writing this. The boys are currently celebrating cinco de mayo so i'm...a little distracted. They just turned the tv off and i think this is where the bondage kicks in. Yup, i was right. Here it goes...
