I had a night out with one of my best buddies last evening...she and I together are a handful. In fact, when we are together without "supervision" the bartenders at Pinkie Master's give an audible sigh and "uh-oh..." We just have so much fun - and really feed off one another in the oddest of ways.
Last night, we met a group of virtual strangers (we knew the girl that set it up) for a Holiday Happy Hour. Tonya and I marched on up there, and our friend, Jason, joined us as well. The people at this particular bar were what you would classify as "young professionals" - all lawyers, or bankers, or in sales... Tonya and I work at an advertising agency, and Jason is an international rep for an art school. Needless to say, we don't always fit in. The problem (?) last night was that Tonya and I had started our giggle-fest in the car before we even arrived. That's never a good idea...especially when you're meeting new people, because you still have the urge to laugh and be silly, but you don't want your first impression to be that of a mindless gigglebox. So, in an effort to appear mature, you end up looking even worse - stifling laughs and catching each other's eye while trying to carry on chit-chatty conversations.
Suffice it to say, we didn't even really try last night. We were like, "Hey, we're weird...get into it!" In fact, after one particularly random comment, I apologized to our new "friends." Tonya piped up and said, "Don't apologize for being awesome!" hahahaah... I love her.
Well, I must direct you to T's blog today because she had the GRAND idea of documenting random comments that we heard from people throughout the night. You would just not believe what a night in Savannah can hold...seriously, it can be really bizarre. This town is FULL of artists...and crazy people. Anyway, check it out...hilarious...
