Acting My Age

January 24, 2010 | Filed under Uncategorized

Unlike what most people on the Internet probably believe, I’m actually not a wild party animal at the best of times. A work schedule like mine isn’t conducive to through-the-night drinking and dancing – it can handle dinners out with mates, weekend shopping sessions, chilling on the beach, etc. Not so much all-night benders.

So in an attempt to act my true age of irresponsible 23-ness, I rented a hotel room on Friday night with Nadine and Rebekah with the express purpose of getting trashed and staying out all night without worrying about how to get home. A brief summary of the night would include me:

  1. Getting trashed.
  2. Asking a random Canadian and an American on the street about male strip clubs and whether they wanted to see penis with us. (They were male)
  3. Dancing the night away at the Joint.
  4. Stealing a French backpacker’s hat (I did give it back…).
  5. Reeking of smoke by the end

I had an absolute ball, and really, I don’t know why I don’t do it more often. I should make going out, dancing all night and meeting new people, part of my overall decision to act my age this year (I’ve also decided to attempt to dress my age, and so won’t be buying any black clothing items at all in the next twelve months). Speaking of meeting new people though, I met Adam on Saturday, and he’s absolutely lovely!

  1. I’m glad you had a ball! Sounds like something I’d never do, honestly.

    Give me a quiet bar where I can sip my drinks and talk the night away, and I’ll be happy without all the dancing and whatnot. :)

  2. When I (hopefully) do my year abroad next year, I have lots of plans for wild nights out on the town. For various reasons I can’t/won’t do it where I am at school now (friend issues) so I’m excited to actually be a wild college student next year!

  3. I’m glad you had fun! While I’m not into the party-every-night-and-get-trashed kinda scene, I do love the occasional drinking with friends. It’s great to have such a big townhouse because we can invite friends over for drinks, and everyone can spend the night afterwards since there is enough room for everyone. :)

  4. Glad you had fun :) 23 is still very young, so you should have your regular getting-trashed-and-going-out-all-night moments. I can’t wait till I can go out again…since I have tests at university right now, I’m not really allowed to go out :(

  5. I love getting trashed. I wish I was back in Mexico where I could get away with that shit.

  10. Sounds like you had an awesome time out.
    I would not worry too much about acting your age. You only have one life to live so it’s up to you how you at throughout your life, who you want to be and what you want to do.
    Don’t let anybody get you down :)
