DDN – a night to remember…or a night to forget (a two-fer)

Posted by: becausewereawesome on: June 28, 2011

I was reminded of the pure brilliance of the below story earlier this morning, and felt the need to re-publish this post on this version of our blog. Enjoy this magical journey!….

I couldn’t have dealt with recent events in my life without having the proper education bestowed upon us by the greatness that is LvHS. Those four sensational years at a private, all-girls institution have taught one thing—epic tales spread like wildfire.

If you are a good friend of mine, or even just an acquaintance, then you’ve already heard. The magic that is created only at Dollar Drink Night- which the crew refers to as DDN (term coined by yours truly)-had only magnified immensely a couple of Mondays ago.

Allow me to elaborate…

It goes without saying that dollar drinks are begging for trouble-DDN is also an acronym for Drunken Debauchery Night. Oh yes, that’s right.

What any normal person would witness at 540, is one of the most diverse crowds: the first timers over by the front door, the too cool hipsters that huddle around those two small tables up front, the social kings that make their rounds so often that they make you spill your drink every time they walk past you (kanye, etc.), and finally-the Inner Richmond rats—those grimy, inconsiderate, shit-canned assholes that always seem to post themselves at that exact place you order your drink at the bar…every time your order one. Despite the unusual crowd, I wouldn’t have it any other way. Plus, you can’t beat the fact that for just one dollar, you can have any well drink your heart desires. The hours from 10-12am every Monday are my happy thought. There’s nothing like being plastered off of 5 bucks (in my case it’s 3).

It started out just like any other Monday night, the usual crew plus a few others–we run 540 on Monday nights, but we’re not an exclusive crowd; the more the merrier. Anyway, we’re drinking, socializing, flirting, the usual. Drinking, drank, drunk. What happens next is something so unreal, it’s like it was straight out of the latest Judd Apatow film.

Resolutions – to keep them, or not to keep them?

Posted by: becausewereawesome on: June 27, 2011

I wanted to follow up on a post that was written on our Blogspot page about my NY Resolutions. My friend Liz reminded me of this the other day, and since we’re half way through 2011, I thought it would be nice to reflect on what I had originally hoped to do this year.

  • Don’t drink Monday – Wednesday
  • Yeah, that was NEVER going to happen. Let’s be honest, PR was voted as the 2nd most stressful job in the U.S., following a commercial airline pilot. I’d like to think that I had the will power to follow this, but there’s nothing like meeting up with your friends after work to grab a drink or coming home to a glass (or two) of wine after a long work day. I believe drinking helps my emotional stability so that I’m not the “employee goes crazy” top story on local nightly news.
  • Don’t get into fights on the bus
  • I’ve actually kept to this one…so far. SF Muni really took control of the graffiti situation, so I don’t have to act like some kid’s parent and bitch them out for putting their lame gangsta gangsta shit on the bus. I did witness a fight this weekend while on the Mission 14 (shock), but decided to exit the bus quietly with a bunch of families.
  • Play “Just Dance 2” 5 times a week
  • I love this game, but not enough to play it that much. I’ve actually been more addicted to Wii Resort because they have some pretty fun fighting games. If anyone has suggestions for other Wii games, let me know
  • Don’t take work home with me
  • It’s been tough, but I’ve managed to get more of a work/life balance in the past couple of months – even with a few people leaving the agency. Hoping to maintain this for the rest of the year.
  • Bring back my 22 year-old self
  • Love this. The reason why I included this in my list of shit to do was because I had a pretty crappy 6 months leading up to the end of last year. Happy to report that since then, I’ve managed to get back to my old self—which also means that I’ve been taking vacations because sometimes the only way you can relax and enjoy life is when you’re out of the city, on the beach somewhere.

TGIF

Happy Friday, bitches.

Be glad it’s not an itchy vag

Posted by: becausewereawesome on: January 28, 2011

Working with kids definitely has its days. Most of the time, it’s the same routine, day in/day out. Every once in a while, something stimulates the monotony of it all.  This week, I witnessed a student being sent home for an itchy vag. I mean, getting sent home for being a nuisance or head lice is one thing, but I can’t even imagine facing the class the following day after getting booted for irritable private parts.

Breaking up with boyfriends/girlfriends, wrecking your car, or even dealing with parents going through a putrid divorce are nothing compared to this. In all those scenarios, people empathize and help you get through it…however in this case, all you can do is shake you head in humiliation…solely for that one person.

So, chew on this… the next time you think you’re having a rough day, and you feel absolutely nothing in the world can bring you back, just be grateful that you’re not being sent home from work or school because of an itchy vag.

The Relationship I Never Knew I Was In

Posted by: becausewereawesome on: January 21, 2011

When you’re dating a guy, you know it. At least, I sure hope you know it. Unfortunately, two nights ago, I was alerted to a dating situation that I never knew I was in. A friend alerted me to an interesting conversation in which one of our guy friends told her he and I dated two years ago. This, of course, was not true at all and unfortunately my friend’s strong will to maintain the truth was completely dominated by his unwavering tone.

 

Did he and I used to hang out all the time? Yes, but never alone and always at the bar. Which makes me wonder – when did hanging out at the bar, playing pool with a group of people turn into dating? Did I miss something? A date usually consists of one (or a mixture) of the following: dinner, coffee, movie, going to the mall, hiking, going to the aquarium, etc. And these dates are usually done with you and the other person only. Speaking of, a person you are dating is usually someone you’ve touched, kissed, or at least fondled, if not had sex with. Apart from a hello/goodbye hug or a high five, I have never touched the guy. Not that I didn’t want to, but he was in a fucking relationship, which brings me to my next point – how could I be dating a guy if he’s in a relationship? It just doesn’t make sense.

Boyfriend Pillow Takes The Inflatable Doll To A Whole New (And Creepy) Level

Posted by: becausewereawesome on: January 19, 2011

Have you seen this thing???

I nearly lost my shit when I saw this pick of the “boyfriend pillow”. What has the world come to? Are people that desperate for some man lovin that they’re resorting to pillows of all things to satisfy their cravings? Whatever happened to eating mounds of chocolate or gallons of ice cream…or drinking until you blackout and pass out naked, alone, in your bed…or spending some quality time with yourself (wink!)…or calling that guy who’s a 5 out of 10 in looks, a 6 out of 10 in bed, but always down?

I was trying to think of the type of person that buys this kind of crap and immediately thought of the movie “Serendipity”. Lame, I know, but it’s the perfect reference. Remember when Kate Beckinsale and Molly Shannon are in SF at Molly’s Zen store and there’s this overweight/slightly unfortunate looking woman that seems like she hasn’t been touched by a man in about 20 years who’s asking about the Romeo candles or whatever the hell candle it was?? THAT’S the kind of person who would buy something as perverted as this pillow.

So for any of you ladies out there that are considering purchasing one of these pillows, do yourselves a favor (for all of us, baby) – take a shower, hike up that skirt, put on some makeup, call your friends and get your asses to the bar so you can hang out with some real, living and breathing men. I highly doubt it’s that hard for a girl to find her own manwich these days.

Helloooooo WordPress!

Posted by: becausewereawesome on: January 14, 2011

For all of those that loved us on Blogspot, you’re going to love us even more on WordPress.

We’re ready to share more of our crazy encounters with you, despite how embarrassing they might be.

First off,  Happy 2011! I don’t know how you felt about 2010, but I personally hated it and am looking forward to the New Year. Maybe this year will be better. Maybe 2011 is the year where I possibly find an attractive man (with a college education, real “big kids” job, that’s physically fit, tan, 6’2” and doesn’t live at home with his parents) – Mom would be so proud.

So not sure if you do this, but I made a little list of New Year’s Resolutions (really, to-dos) to help me get through what will most likely be another 12-month struggle to stay afloat in this challenging but oh-so-much-fun thing we call life.
