random bits and pieces

out & about

Friday night I attempted to act my age, i.e. 22. (Those of you who know me, I really don't get out much.) I went out with friends to Bada lounge. I'm not a big fan of Bada; it's loud and it's hard to talk to people without losing your voice by the end of the evening. The drinks are pretty good (apparently going to the cash bar is the key). Well after sitting around and staring at the beautiful people in Bada; we moved on to Belltown billiards. I believe we made this decision as part of a carefully thought out move by the guys I was with. Apparently if your purpose is to get a girl's number and you succeed, it's not a good idea just to sit around said bar and just talk. Not that i minded moving from Bada. It's a bit too "see and be seen" for me. Drink Status: 1 amaretto sour (the only drink that i consistently like)

We debated on where to go for a while and then decided on El Gaucho for cocktails. When we got there, it was pretty quiet so we decided to go to Belltown Billiards. Now this is an interesting place... pool tables, dance floor, bar, and even a sitting area. overall i thought it would be nice to hang out for a while, but alas at 1:30 they had last call and then closed like 5 mins. later. The crowd here looked a lot older than Bada lounge, but it definitely seemed a little more low key too. Drink Status: 2 amaretto sours (the last one drank quite quickly since they closed so fast afterwards)

After wandering around on 1st Ave. for a while, we decided to either 1) have pizza or 2) go to Down Under - an after hours club. I'm still not quite sure what an after hours club is... does it mean that they're just open later? are drinks served? irwin & i danced here for a while, it was fun especially since they played a few 80s songs which reminded me of middle/high school. it was amusing to see the guys trying to pick out women and devise a strategy to talk to them. I think I definitely prefer going with the guys rather than being one of the girls they hit on. It's much more fun this way.

Well so that was my Friday night, out until 3am, and awake at 9:30am Saturday morning. it was fun even if only because it was a bit out of the ordinary for me. i'll write a new entry on Saturday's adventures :)
