'Bout to roll up in this club...

It'll be nice to have a couple days full of nothing this week after the birthdays/midterms/craziness that was last. Sometimes I just want to sit on the couch without having to do a damn thing. Besides watch some tv of course (Making the Band 4 on tonight wooo).

Anyways, probably the craziest and most fun part of last week was my first club experience being 21 for Mel's 21st at On Broadway event center downtown. I don't even remember the last time I went clubbing, so with that plus the whole being 21 thing I was pretty excited for this. Yeah, I get to buy stuff from Albertson's by myself now and order drinks at restaurants and whatnot, but I hadn't used my 21-status to get into a restricted place yet.

We got in line a couple minutes before 10pm, and little to my surprise the bouncer took just a little more time inspecting my ID compared to the others before us. While Alan was given a "happy belated birthday man" after being carded, I got about a quadruple-take on mine and asked to recite my birthday and address. Still, not as embarassing as dinner at Ra Sushi; our server already checked the 7 or so IDs at our table, only to come back a couple minutes later to take just mine to the back and scan it.

So once I got in the club I felt like a total noob because I didn't know jack about the ordering process. Due to lack of funds I only got a Tokyo Iced Tea ($12!) and a Monster/Vodka (cuz it was cheap). I'll try to be more prepared for the next outing. As for the whole night, just being with the girls made it super fun. It's totally possible to not be single and still have a good ass time at the club haha.

While I can appreciate when a guy comes up to me and tries to start conversation - flattery is always a good ego boost once in a while - I really don't understand the whole "club mentality" of a lot of guys out there. Boys don't take this personal, I'm talking generalizations here. To help you guys out with what I'm talking about, I came up with a helpful list:

What NOT to Do When Trying to Pick Up Females At the Club

-If a girl makes it blatantly obvious that they aren't that interested in talking to you (i.e. you've been standing 2 feet away from her for 3 minutes and she still avoids looking at you), don't yank her arm to try to get her attention. That's just rude. In fact don't do anything remotely close to physical force, even in the slightest bit; do it to the wrong girl and you just might get a smack in the face in return.

-When the hell did cat calls ever work to a guy's advantage? Probably never. So no use in trying now. It just makes you look really creepy and desperate. Honestly. If it has, maybe you guys just happen to run into girls that throw themselves at guys' feet. But that doesn't go for the 99% rest of us.

-If you notice that everytime you try to get close to that one female she just happens to find a way to not cross paths with you, it's probably not just a coincidence. We have our ways, we work in teams to get this done.

-I've already mentioned the physical force thing, but inappropriate touching in general is a no-no. I'm not talking dirty dancing cuz that's mutual and hey some girls enjoy that stuff I guess. But once you try to get your hands on a female that you're not dancing with...that you're not even talking to...that you don't even know...that just happens to pass you by...you're a fcking perv.

-This doesn't really just apply to the club in general, but guys that act like they are God's gift to women. Yuck. I just wanted to throw that one out there.

-In conclusion, guys should just follow the same common sense that us girls have been told many times. If the signs aren't there - she doesn't flash a smile at you, no eye contact, tries to avoid you at all costs - she's just not that into you!
