Club Etiquette

I’ve been going out steadily for the past couple of months now, and i’ve come to realize that it’s always the same thing, no matter where or when you go out. Let’s face it, about 75% of people are either creepy, ugly or a mix of both, right? My friends and I have devised a number of ways to avoid getting ourselves into situations with these animals.

If spoken to make sure you keep your answer quick and short. Clubs are always ridiculously loud, not that i’m complaining, but it does get nearly impossible to hear the person shouting a millimeter away from your ear, for this reason always use your most loudest voice. Another alternative is to pretend you’re too wasted by looking down, shaking your head and putting up your hand in a ‘stop’ sign. But the problem with this is that the raper will probably try and take advantage of you if he thinks you’re in this fragile a state.
One of the most common things i get asked when i go out: “What’s you background?”
Honestly, I have seen guys shove their way through the crowd just to ask me this question, and i’m nothing special. Is this a serious interest that men have? Backgrounds, and geography? Should i also tell you my religion and what side my ancestors fought in during the war? Seriously, if i’m drunk at a club, asking someone about their background just doesn’t seem like a good time to me.
This hasn’t happened on one occasion, by the way. E-V-E-R-Y single time i go out i literally get asked this at least 5 times. I tend to switch it up sometimes. I tend to stick to Eastern European countries though because thats what i am. I’ll shout “GERMAN” nod and walk away. Easy as pie.

When out with your girlfriends, and whether or not you have boyfriends you will probably get surrounded by pervs. In order to have a full 360 degree view of what might or might not be happening behind you, dance in front of your friend. It doesn’t matter which way everyone else is facing, but it does matter if you’re about to get groped by a 35 year old asian man who still wears Ed Hardy T-shirts and has a receding hairline. If you dance facing each other you can give an approving or disapproving glance or gesture. For example, if someone who is clearly dirty is trying to grind up against my friend across from me, i’ll frown and dance-turnin the opposite direction which she will get the hint and follow me, moving away from the creep.
If asked if you came alone, the answer is always ‘no’. Unless the guy who asked you this is indeed Jesus and you’re ready to leave with him that instant. Always say that he’s by the bar, this means he’s getting juiced, and no guy wants to mess with that. It also doesn’t hurt to throw in the word ‘boyfriend’. This helps avoid all possible ‘ditching’ requests made by the creepy party.

When out around intoxicated men, its usually very likely that a few will offer to buy you something, a drink or a glow stick or a freezie. Always accept the offer. Yes, people say that it’s dangerous because they might ‘slip something into it’, this is rarely the case. And if you’re worried just watch closely. Also, if someone buys you a drink, this does not mean that you are now obliged to spent the rest of the night with them. Feel free to walk away whenever you want. When his back is turned is usually an acceptable opportunity, or as soon as you finish your drink. Chances are he’s loaded and will find someone else to spoil in a minute.

The smoke break, loved and hated all at once. The smoking section, usually the porch, is almost always packed with older people men and women trying as hard as they can to look young. No offense, but the effects of the cigarettes are totally not helping. Out here can be good or bad. If you’re a decent looking young woman, not bringing your own cigarettes usually isn’t a big deal, 8/10 people will give you one of theirs in exchange for a minute of conversation or even a name and a smile. Some men even offer you some while you’re already smoking one! Take it if offered, don’t look back.
On the other hand, you might get bombarded by bogue-less men desperate to ‘bum a smoke’. Save yourself by telling them it was your last one and walking away. When trying to find a place to smoke in peace, try to keep next to something sturdy like a table or a bar, incase drunk underage bitches knock into you with their cigs they dont know how to properly smoke yet will burn you. If burnt, dont pick at it or it will scar and you’ll look ugly.

Speaking of looking ugly, when going out be sure to dress in this era’s style. Unless it’s a themed event, then you have full permission to go all out. You may think your pink ’80s leopard dress looks hot in the mirror in your apartment, but once you get to the club you’ll realize you look like an idiot (unless you’re in a crazy state of mind). Try not to be too obvious if you’re going to wear some shitty thing from forever 21 or urban planet. I must say, there are some nice things at 21, but most things are made really cheaply and it shows. Dress to impress, ladies. And show some leg, guys like it. BUt dont be too tacky, there are two ways to go, boobs or legs. If severely flaunting both parts (ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE FAT) you’ll look like a hoe, and you’ll never get decent guys. I’m serious, the fancier/classier you dress the more the guy wearing the tie will be likely to talk to you.

i miss this

hawaii 1930

So searching on craigslist today for an apartment, i had no luck in this shitty city so i decided to day dream to living in places that i actually want to be. Preferably somewhere hot, a beautiful, near the ocean or in a big city. The issues i’ve come across recently with cities are that, well.. the places are expensive and tiny! I dont like tiny. I like to have a queen bed and a lot of space for decorating. The big bed is my biggest issue, and i want to be able to actually walk around it, too. Anyway, I was looking in Hawaii for a sublet. (when i first started looking i had no idea what a sublet is so i checked it out) Which is a short term rental or a month to a few months. I honestly could not have found anything more my style.

Seeing this house totally shifted my paradigm. I cant even explain the excitement I am feeling right now. What a beautiful 1930s home. From now on, i’m saving my money and i’m going to go to this house and stay in it…then take it over! No not really, but i’d love to go to it, and use it as serious inspiration for my own home.
