I love to go to bars. I love to go to clubs. I go to more bars than clubs, but as long as they mix good drinks, play good music, and have a dance floor, I'm good to go. I usually only go with me friends. We have the same taste in music and atmospheres, so we usually end up having a good time, baring any drama that may ensue.
Last night I went to West Hollywood and hung out at the bar I usually go to, Mickey's. I don't want to say good times were had, but you can't beat buy one drink, get another for a buck night. They had some good music, the bartenders were hot, and random go-go boys were dancing all over. It's funny that in West Hollywood there's go-go boys, but in San Fran, the gay mecca, there's nothing. Ah well. The people seemed very L.A. Not sure how to describe it, but I did feel out of place. But I felt okay being there since I wasn't there to impress anyone, or meet anyone, considering I live 400 miles away. I just wanted to be by myself, away from the fam, for a while in an element that I felt at home in. And what's more homey than a gay bar.
I can think about a dozen places, but they were all closed, so whatever.
I wandered around WeHo for a bit, checking out the other bars. A few seemed to frou frou for my tastes, and the only other one that caught my eye had an 8 dollar cover charge. Considering it was almost midnight I diddn't feel like shelling out that much for two hours. So I wandered back into Mickey's, did some people watching, and drank my 2nd Midori Sour. They taste way better when they're only a buck.
Tonight. my cousins want me to take them to a club/bar. I said sure. It should be fun, seeing as how I don't usually go to to many places around here. Though, we may have to go to an 18 and over club, due to the fact that one of my cousins and one of my cousin's boyfriend are under 21. I'm like, grrr argh. I remember my last experience at an 18 and over club. I felt old. I wasn't the oldest guy there (there were surprisngly many 30+ year olds, which was kinda creepy) but still. Ah well, again with the I'm just going out to go out. I'm letting my cousin do the planning. I'm just the DD. I don't want to be behind the wheel when my cousins are driving. I'm sure they're great drivers, but whatever.
So far being at home has been great. Good food, no major drama (outside of the drama that's happening between the sisters) and I've managed to see most of my friends. I haven't seen two of them, and that saddens me, but I left them messages. I'm assuming they're too busy, though being too busy for over a week and a half and not have time to do lunch makes me wonder. *shrugs* Ah well. I haven't gotten as much done as I would've liked, projects wise. Though, honestly, during this time off I just want to kick back and relax, be it by reading comics, watching the ol' boob tube, or sleeping. It's my vacation, and when I'm not running errands for the fam, I want to just chill. And since I have no second job for a while, I can catch up on my personal projects after work. We'll see.
I was in Borders the other day. i wandered around and saw a few things that I wanted. I was about to reach for them when I remembered that I no longer have my discount. That saddened me. Paying full price for anything there just seems....wrong. I'm staying away for at least a month. After that, we'll see.
