I’ve been so down and out lately because of all the pitfalls I’ve come across. I decided to go out the other night. It was my first ‘club’ experience. It wasn’t one of the big clubs like Tao or Tryst that attract all of the tourists but a locals type club off of Jones. It’s not big and at the busiest time of the night probably had about 200 or so people. I’m not 21 so I had to ease my way in there. I haven’t drank alcohol in such a long time so I made sure that I was still sober by the end of the night. We went with a group of like 25-30 people. It was fun and I always thought I’d love to do that but I have discovered it’s definitely not my scene.
Why I didn’t like it:
It seemed like every guy that I danced with felt the need to loom around me all night. I danced with one guy who was constantly grabbing my but and then proceeded to massage my ear lobes (WTF?). I swear, I think he was going to try to kiss me and he probably would have gotten hit in the nose if he did. I made sure to quickly get out of that one. I had to dance with a guy named William. :/ When I told him why that bothered me he was like, ‘why’d he leave you for, you’re so beautiful’. Do we really need to start off our conversation like that? Besides, beauty isn’t what keeps a relationship going anyways. Someone from MySpace saw me there and now thinks we’re best buds. Another guy that was actually in our party made sure to sit next to me and keep his arm around me so I looked taken, he was buying me drinks. Then when he was leaving he wanted me to go with him. Umm, I don’t think so, your going to need to get me a whole heck of a lot drunker to get me to do that. NEXT! Another guy insisted on getting in my face and cursing at me because I wouldn’t go sit next to and flirt with his friend. Back up ass-hole, if your friend was a real man he’d come talk to me himself. Hip-hop music makes my stomach hurt after a while, it’s so loud you can’t talk to whoever your with. I would have preferred watching a band and sipping a glass of wine at a lounge any day. When I get to do it, I think I’ll prefer big band and jazz type music where I can dance swing and stuff.
What I did like:
Dancing was fun even in four inch heels I made sure they stayed on my feet all night. It got my mind off of everything else that is happening in my life at the moment. We made up a signal where I grab my ear if I needed rescuing, needless to say I found myself grabbing my ear a lot. The room was filled with reasonably attractive people that, if nothing else, were fun to look at. Attention from guys I didn’t know was a nice confidence booster. The fact that I got out of the house and did something new and fresh.
So the con’s way out-weighed the pro’s. Like I said, it’s not my scene. I may do it again but not very often.
Last night I went down to the strip. The Fountains of Bellagio show plays every 15 minutes after 8 p.m. so I sat and watched it for an hour. The show is different each time and I enjoy the music. I nearly cried during Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On.” That music and the fountains, ah it was perfect. I get tingles and goosebumps just thinking about it. I wonder how many different versions of that show they have. I’ll find out one day even if I have to sit there all night. I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend. xoxo
