St. Patty's Day
I had a lot of fun yesterday! I went to the Fillmore Pub because its the closest thing to an actual pub that I have. I like to think that it's pretty close to what a real English pub would be. I think they try pretty hard to make it seem that way -they have a ton of decor of English football stuff and English beer names.
There was a band playing country music, but they were dressed in green and wearing clovers. Kinda weird for St. Patty's day. They had the clothing right, but I thought that they should've at least played some Irish folk or something. They served green beer which was basically Bud Light with food coloring. I don't like beer, so I opted for a Nutty Irishman shot. I went with three of my girl friends, but I still felt a little out of place. I don't know why; I never feel like I completely fit anywhere. I often get left out of the conversation when I'm with people I know and if I try to talk to other people I get ignored. I used to let the feeling bother me, but now I just go with it. When you're an outsider, you get to observe other people more which is always kinda fun. I often notice what others don't. And in a bar, it's especially interesting to see how other people behave drunk.
One of my friends got really trashed and started making out with some random guy. It didn't bother me at first. I just felt really embarrassed for her. She was making quite a spectacle of herself and people around us just started staring and making faces at her and the mystery man. Even the bartenders started laughing & pointing. So then, I became a little uncomfortable. I tried to get one of our other girl friends to try to get her attention and maybe make her stop, but no dice. Although I would never make out with some strange guy at a bar, I was a bit shocked by people's reaction. I always see at least one couple get trashed and make out at a bar or some public event, and I would always think it was gross but I wouldn't really stare or react in a certain way. So I wasn't sure why she was getting so much attention. Because she was young and the guy was old? Or rather older, 38 isn't that old to me. Maybe people reacted the same towards the other couples I've seen in the past, but I just didn't notice and only noticed these people because I was so close to the source.
I do feel sorry for her, thought. She felt bad the next day, and I think maybe she's just lonely. People do crazy things out of loneliness. I hate that old song "People who need people are the luckiest people in the world". Even when I was a little kid and I heard that song, I always thought it was a bit odd. The world is full of people who need people. Shouldn't people who DON'T need people be considered the luckiest people in the world?
