I always forget this, but it happens every spring. Soon after daylight savings time kicks in (or is lifted, however it works), I become clinically unable to sleep past 7:30 in the morning. In the winter its 8:30, which also sucks but isn't nearly as bad as 7:30. Especially considering that last night I went to bed at 3:30 AM. fuckin' fuck my finely calibrated internal clock.
So....I'm up.
Last night was fun, we went to a joint birthday party for my friends Kiersten and Kate. It was held in some loungey bar on Delancey, which was fine, in and of itself, but was populated with the lamest crowd of 23 year olds who recently moved here from long jersey island. I don't usually hang out at straight bars unless they're dives, or pubs, which kind of have a different scene going. Whenever I do end up at a straight bar thats more meat-markety, I am always astounded by the fact that there are usually 100000000 guys for every 1 girl. ANd then the dudes hang out together and text each other and generally ignore the girls. Which then makes it kind of a gay bar. I want to tell the straight people this, to HELP them, but I think they'll react badly.
We had a private section, and within our section, things were fabulous. Kate and Kiersten insisted upon swanky dress and everyone looked AWESOME. Three dudes were in tuxes, girls were all flaunting cleavage in cocktail dresses. Glamor abounded. Which had the amusing effect of making the dumbasses in the rest of the bar look like a tranny mess in comparison.
We took a lot of pictures of each other and in at least one of them, I looked really pretty and managed to smile without showing all of my teeth and my entire gumline. YAY!
I really enjoyed dressing up and putting on makeup and heels, and I'm considering dressing like a grown woman more often. I've been feeling that I need new clothes, my ten year old boy clothes are all wearing thin, getting holes or just boring me lately. I don't think I could do lady drag every day, but I do think I'd like some more options for when I do want to fancy up. I need to take stock of my makeup too, organize, purge, restock. AND I started wearing perfume. I smell nice! I'm a girl!
We'll see how long this lasts....
