I had one of the strangest nights ever last night! It started normal enough - met friends at a restaurant for drinks and appetizers, then moved on to a couple other bars. Since when can you smoke in any public building?! I thought we'd banned that? Bleeaah, they were old buildings, narrow and full of drunk smoking people. Still, not all that unusual.
Until the boyfriend of a friend of a friend asked if we wanted to go to some club, where some guy he knew was going to "hook us up." WTH does that mean?! I, frankly, was getting edgy, not knowing what the deal was (and being the only non-drinker may have contributed, lol!) The deal was this: the guy was some Italian luxury car dealer (mechanic? I dunno - he had something to do with luxury cars) who bought us a table at the club for $2,000, then outfitted it with a couple bottles of Dom Perignon and Cristal!
Dudes. I don't know if it's just that I'm old and parental or what, but that was one strange scene. All these young people trying so blasted hard to look hip and trendy in this crappy bar that was trying too blasted hard to seem hip and trendy. You know how Hollywood types - think Britney or Christina Aguillera - get those roped-off VIP tables in nightclubs, guarded by bouncers? That was us. In St. Petersburg, FL.

It was silly and ridiculous, but hugely entertaining! I did a LOT of this:

Especially when a couple guys decided to enter our VIP area and the Italian guy's girlfriend went ballistic because they weren't allowed in. Good times, people, good times.
My lungs hurt and I reek of smoke. I didn't get home until 3:30am. I need to work out, go to the grocery store, clean and do laundry.
I'm way too old for this $#!^
