above: from left to right; mackenzie, shehan, yura, stephen, jesse and me as a mess on the floor of mackenzie’s apartment.
her roommate had moved away and taken the dining table with her so we were a circle of bodies and drinks on the floor for most of the pre.
mackenzie was gracious enough to let us use her apartment to predrink and by the time i got there after work, the drinks had already been poured and there was casual conversation floating around the room.
i’d already come up with a plan for the night, and the apple in my bag was an indication of this.
i was supposed to go to mackenzie’s pre, spend some time with the aberkids and then go to a friend’s house party, which required a fruit for entry.
but as always, nothing went according to plan.
throughout the course of the pre, mackenzie and shehan ate my apple and i got so drunk that i didn’t even realize what was happening when i was being led into a cab and taken to this is london, the club of choice for the night.
unfortunately, the bouncers decided i was too drunk to get in, even though i was entirely and convincingly stable according to yura and mackenzie.
i think they knew that my id was fake but didn’t want to cause a scene or anything, so used my apparent inebriation as an excuse to keep me out, which didn’t really bother me since i’d already had a lot of fun at the pre anyways.
my luck in terms of partying with the aberkids is wary.
i’ve noticed a recurring pattern in how likely it is for me to get into clubs.
when i’m alone or with one other person, there doesn’t really seem to be any problem, but when i’m with a group of friends, the bouncers get suspicious and don’t let me in.
it’s weird.
so i walked home because i couldn’t be bothered to trek all the way to the fruit party, and i kind of just laid down on the grass of my front lawn for a couple of hours, waiting to sober up.
i think i might’ve fallen asleep.
i entered my house after a couple of hours and watched an episode of the vampire diaries before going to bed.
when i woke up the next morning, there were scars on my elbow and my left ankle felt like it was sprained.
i took the whole night as a sign that i shouldn’t go out for the next little while, which is perfectly fine because i’ve been more inclined to sit home and watch the vampire diaries and read as of late.
i went to a friend’s house and borrowed four books, and i’m all too excited to read them.
it’s time for my quiet phase.
