Clubin' with the Ladies

This weekend, I went out with a few ladies that I love, Lacey, Miss Mal, and Chelsea. I have realized that when you do this, you should probably have a few ground rules to ensure that you aren't waking up decapitated in a ditch somewhere.

1. Always have a buddy. Just like in kindergarden, hold your buddies hand when you move. Your buddy is there to ensure that you don't get lost, don't get on unattractive men, don't get sick, and that you are ok! you in turn make sure your buddy is having fun and keep her from getting on unattractive men and from unattractive men from getting on you. To ensure that when a guy comes up behind and grinds on you, you aren't going to turn around and check him out, so your buddy will check him out for you and give you the go ahead. We use hand signals. A ear pull means he's good, a nose wipe means he's gross. If your buddy can not get away from a gross guy, HELP HER! pretend to be her girlfriend, or whatever it takes!
2. Don't drag your purse with you to a club. Have pockets or bra space to keep these necessaries you; an ID-to get into clubs and bars (duh), you phone-in case of an emergency and to text cute boys with, Cash-to pay for your drinks with at first. If you talk to an old guy, chances are he'll buy your next drink. Debit Card-for more cash if you need it, and to pay for your late night Mac attack and taxi ride home.
3. Dress cute, but look approachable. We like V-neck tee shirts they say "here are my boobs, but I don't really wanna dress like that hooker over there." you can always have your jewelry and hair say what a total rock star you are.
4. Shoes. These should be worn at all times. Wear some heels, they make you taller and stand up straighter in them. Don't wear some 5 inch clear plastic stiletto. you want something that you can move in not just stand there in, or worse, can't even stand in. In the summer flip flops and flats are good, just feel good!
5. Smile! you can be suprised what good smiling at strangers can do. I can't lie when my buddy was moving us around the club, I kept smiling at every cute boy I saw and I even winked at some, or maybe I was blinking, lmoa. but it worked good cuz I talked to a boy, until my buddy told me that he was old. haha.
6. Don't ever except a drink from a stranger. EVER. you have no clue what someone has put in that drink. If someone wants to buy you a drink go to the bar with them! I can't stress that enough.
7. HAVE FUN! what's the point if you aren't there to have fun!?!

The Friend-Approved-Boy Test

So, this weekend Lacey texted me and said in more words, "Come with me to a bar in Madison." and I said, "Okay!" after a little bit of hesitation. Well we went to meet Hot Topic Boy. And He seems cool enough. I like him more than Little Boy Emo. Why is he cooler, well I have decided that there should be a friend test to pass guys on. When we were at HTB's house, he made us drinks and told us about his man crush, some Ultimate Fighter, but anyway, he seemed excited to meet me. He was like, "Kendall! I have heard so much about you from Lacey!"

• He remembers what she says and who her friends are. He listens AND hears! OMFG! crazy awesome!

On our way to a bar, the sidewalk was slippery and I was wearing slippery shoes, and he was walking beside me telling me about his pet iguanas and I am THE biggest klutz ever, so and I was thinking...is he that nice enough to not let me fall? So, I said "Hold my hand so I don't fall!" and he did! He helped me over these weird slush/ice piles in the street.

• He helped me! A perfect stranger! He's NICE. whoa. Not a lot of guys would have done that! So that earned extra points in my book.

Well, then HTB got REALLY drunk and spilled his guts to us about Lacey and what he thinks of her and how she is the hottest girl he has ever seen and how she is the one Hot Topic costumer that he remembers.

• Well, so this wasn't so cool because he just kept rambling. But, when I am drunk and tell people things, what I tell them is what I mean. I like to drink because it makes me a little braver and then I can say what I want and I regret saying it, but in the end it's not so bad. So I am a little uncertain about this one. Either he means it or he doesn't

When we got back to HTB's house and he was talking to me about how he likes Lacey so much and he wants to know if she has any other boyfriends. And I didn't get to say much about it to him, but he said he read our blog so I would like to say to him.

• If you REALLY like Lacey as much as you say, would you honestly let something like other boys that like her stop you? Lacey is smoking hot, a zillion boys like her!
• And if you REALLY like Lacey, Shut up and do something about it!

Idk, Little Boy Emo is very immature. I mean, he can't even get into a bar, and being 21 those are kind of a fact of life. And he is funny, but kind of childish funny. And funny like how a High Schooler is funny. And he kind of treats Lacey like one of the dudes, and he seems like he would make his whole life revolve around her, and that would be a little weird. Interesting. xo K
