HIPSTER RUNOFF

Yall!
I finally did it! I turned 21! I can finally 'find out what alcohol tastes like!' Excited. 2nite I'm getting 2gether with a group of my closest friends, and a few other people who have really boring lives' and only go out when some1 they know has a birthday. Hope I get some good gifts/meaningful giftcards.

Do yall have any friends who 'make it a big deal' when it is a birthday? Do u h8 it? Do u get people gifts, or do u think that ur true bros don't expect gifts from you? Don't know how 2 feel about birthdays. I really like the attention, and that my parents gift me money/cars/macbooks, but still... there's just something a little bit mainstream about 'celebrating a birthday.' Do u just want to 'go downtown' and 'overpay for drinks' at a place that u have to 'wear something nice' to, instead of the usual underage-friendly bar that u 'chill at'?

Not to get all philosophical, but 'time' as we know it is kinda a human construct. Things like 'days', 'weeks', 'months' and 'years' are just labels. If we were all cavemen, we would only really know night+day AND hot+cold AND various weather changes. We would have no way to track the exact day we were born. That's probs why the cavemen died when the dinosaurs got hit be a meteor/cholera.

Whenever u go out for some ass hole's birthday, don't u feel kind of like u are trapped in a photo opportunity like this:

It just kinda sux. I want my birthday to be meaningful. Like more than just dinner+drinks+friends who can't distinguish how special UR night is from every other night. Same stuff happens, except there is cake, or 21 shots, or pizza, or something like that. Maybe I should 'plan a trip' for my birthday. Or maybe I should drive to the tip of South America on a motorcycle. Just want something more.

Do yall think birthdays are like the SUPER BOWL of Girls Nights Out?

N E WAYS. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, YALL.
When's ur birthday? I'll send u an eCard? [via 1997]

Falling in <3 is more difficult than people realize. I 'stayed in' this weekend 2 think abt 2k9, and where I want it 2 go. Who do I want 2 be? What do I want 2 discover about myself?

Ultimately, I guess I am asking myself

DO I WANT 2 BE WITH SOME1 WHO LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE ME?

OR DO I WANT 2 BE WITH SOME1 WHO IS THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF ME?

OR SHOULD I 'GET PREYED UPON' BY A CHILD PREDATOR?

OR SHOULD EVERY NIGHT BE GIRLS/NIGHT/OUT?

OR SHOULD EVERY NIGHT BE GNO?

OR SHOULD EVERY NITE BE GALS NITE OUTTE?

OR SHOULD EVERY NIGHT BE GURLZ'NITEOWT?

What would yall do if 'u were me' and u were 'single' headed in2 a new year?
Stay at home and 'tug alone' every nite, or is there 'something 2 be found out there'?

I am planning a Girls Night Out with a group of my closest girlfriends. We will spend the entire night together. We will start out at my apartment, 'getting ready' while gossiping and talking about guys who we think are cute and attainable. We will also complain about the daily grind of out jobs, and how $30-35k is not enough for what we do and how valuable we are to the company. The majority of our paychecks go towards shopping for things like sunglasses and designer purses, and the car payment for my second class 'sports car.' My personal brand is mainly built around walking in and out of restaurants and stores, wearing my expensive sunglasses, carrying my expensive bag, and entering+exiting the car that I am 80% too proud of.

GNO will be amazing. We will drive to Chili's to make sure we have a full stomach before a night where we are dedicated to 'raging.' We will order appetizers, fruity drinks, and maybe split an entree. We will text message friends and guys to 'see what they're up to tonight.' After Chili's, we will go to a high-class bar because are wearing black outfits (or maybe a popular alt-nightclub because we are wearing our interpretation of 'hipster' gear). Eventually, we will find out where a group of mediocre guys are hanging out, and we will force our way over there. The will/will not be pleased to see us.

One of the girls in the pack will lose interest, slipping into a depressed oblivion. She is a 'chunky virgin' and has never had sex/has only had 1 boyfriend who abused her. Tonight, she was supposed to be liberated. Sometimes, popular mainstream hit songs come on in the club. We dance, and mouth the lyrics to the dance song which we should not be able to identify with. This moment is relevant, because it is a moment which we replicate inside of our 2nd rate sports cars while wearing our sunglasses that 'make us feel famous.' We are a powerful consumer demographic. We are responsible for 5 of the top 10 artists of the year in the iTunes digital store.

The night will end. We will talk ourselves' into what a great time it was, creating stories that we can re-tell for years to come. We go back to my apartment--where we prepared for the night. I will warm up some more appetizers from the frozen food aisle of my local grocery store, and provide a gourmet sweet treat. We will fall asleep, drunk, full, and numb. I have no dreams, but I wake up in the middle of the night to drink a glass of water.

In the morning, we will wake up, eat a carb-y breakfast, recapping the night with tons of laughs. My plate comes with pancakes, french toast, bacon, sausage, and eggs. It helps my stomach settle.
Girls Night Over ends the morning after. I get into my Civic and drive away. I put on a song that I heard last night.

Monday will come. Back at work. Girls Night Out will be 'just another memory that we can reminisce about [via commenting on one another's facebook walls so that other people will know that we know how to party].' We will be back at our desk reading gossip blogs, draining my employer's network by spending the entire day on Facebook/myspace, and dreaming of
a Life
where every night
is not
Girls // Night // Out.
