"Nothing good ever happens after 2 am..."

via

I'm proud to report that several days after reading this great/inspiring/amusing list I had a chance to put to action what I had learned.

Important life lesson #1: nothing good ever happens after 2 am. So true. Go home and go to bed. Think about it: if you're up that late and the opportunity for adventure arises 1) you've probably been drinking and 2) no one who really likes or respects you is going to be longing to see you at that hour (and I'm talking come over, I miss you type thing. Not the "we've been hanging out all evening and whoa look at the time it's 2 am!").

My story: last night we go to a local place. We thought it'd be a cool/chiller bar, not the bass pumping pitch black dancing sort of thing. Imagine my dismay when we walk in and the place is packed with undergrads. I'm just way too above that and sophisticated now. But eventually my friends and I get to talking with this group of guys (A+ on my mingling skills). Come to find out that they are all 35 and are having a mini college reunion (to be fair they did not look that old!). Starved for male attention and any y chromosome we can get our hands on we talk to them until, lo and behold, it's last call. They want us to all continue this hangout elsewhere, and we consider it, but ultimately decide that we should call it a night.

We made the right choice not to hang out late night with these fellas for several reasons:
1. apparently 3 out of the 5 had girlfriends (umm if that was my boyfriend flirting and asking for girls' numbers and buying them drinks... well he wouldn't be my boyfriend).

2. what are 35 year olds doing at a bar frequented by undergrads?

3. 35 is a bit old, even for me (I actually did over the course of the night look over at a guy who was eyeing me and flat out said I was too old for him).

and 4. because nothing good happens after 2 am.
