ok. so I was out with a bunch of people I've known forever but don't really go out with very often.
|
like, I run into them out, but I never go out with them. last night, though, something kind of shitty happened and I needed a drink rather urgently and shana happened to page me saying, "hey, we're at the big easy. come have cheap drinks." since I live right upstairs from the big easy, I ran downstairs to meet my people and fortify.
the big easy is not a bar I frequent. it's kind of ... trashy later at night, but it was maybe 10:30 when I got there and shana and friends had been there for hours and had a great table so it wasn't so bad.
until I remembered that one of the reasons I don't go to the big easy is that my program goes there *a lot.* dangle cheap drinks in front of my classmates and -- well, you know about pavlov's dog, right?
so there I sit with my awesome friends, and in walk two of my classmates: a second year I love and a first year I can take or leave. I waved hello and they walked by and into the back room and I continued to hang out with my friends for maybe two drinks. I told julie and john all about why I don't hang out in-program and how I don't frequent the big easy because I just would rather avoid that scene most of the time and they were amused and sympathetic.
and then all of a sudden, the first year, joel, is standing at my side. *hammered.*
(I have a five oclock meeting. would you like to know more?)
