1. GPS on mobile phones does NOT work. Also, men really do not like asking for directions until you are officially two hours late for a party.
2. When you ask a barman for ‘little bit of vodka with a lot of sprite’? He will inevitably pour them the other way round. This means that for the first hour of said party, I looked like I was having face spams.
3. Seeing high school friends can be loads of fun. Also, some people do not change AT ALL. In fact, it is entirely possible that for some people; level of arrogance is directly proportionate to age. At some point, I hope figure their heads have nothing left to do but explode from their perceived fabulousness.
4. We are all–everyone of us–riddled with self-doubt and insecurity. (Except for some: See Point 3).
5. When a girl is throwing up in the toilet and her friends have to pick her up from the floor and take her home? Sufficient evidence that you’re at a GREAT party.
6. The longer it takes me to decide what to wear, the less important that outfit will be. (Party venue was so dark that I could have been wearing my PJs and no-one would have noticed).
7. Talking excitedly about how comfortable flat shoes are with my girl friend is the only sure way to get my brother to call us “grandmothers”.
8. Cloakroom clerks have no sense of humour. Case in point below:
Me [after looking through all the jackets on the railing and not finding the jacket I was looking for-this was self-service]: Fellas, are these the only jackets here?
Fellas: Why? Can’t you find something you like? [OK, a little sense of humour]
Me: Hehe. Nah, I was wondering do you maybe have something in yellow in the back?
Fellas [Blank stares]
Aw, come on! That was funny. I’m funny. No? Fine.
9. Private Practice is not even good at 4 a.m and when slightly intoxicated. [I'm still waiting for that show to become good. And still I watch. And still I adore Kate Walsh]
10. English Breakfast on Sunday is the perfect accompaniment to a Late Saturday Night.

Ugh. Seriously. I’m still waiting too. I can’t not watch though. It’s pretty ridiculous.
i agree with most all of these. but i like private practice. and i have a girl crush on kate walsh.
Private Practice is like the OC for me. I wanted to like it. I really, really wanted to like it so I would have something to talk about with everyone, but I don’t. And I can’t force myself to watch it. So instead, I watch The Office reruns. :)
haha, is it bad that i ask for #2 in opposite form sometimes?
i really agree with #6, the coatroom thing was funny- the dudes need to lighten up!, i LOVE kate walsh, but not the show entirely, and … what’s an “english” breakfast?
sounds like a good weekend!
Brookem: It was a great weekend! And the ‘english’ breakfast is eggs, bacon, fried tomatoes and mushrooms. Sometimes, baked beans on toast. I thought it was referred to that ‘universally’. Maybe not. :)
Fun weekend!
well i thought your response was funny. :)
It is scary how some people don’t change since high school, hey?
It’s even scarier when you find that they are starting to draw you into your old patterns…
(PS. Love the 26 words today!)
Breakfast. So. Delicious.
This post was hilarious. Loved it. Glad to hear you had such a good time!
I want to like PP too, and totally only for Kate Walsh. Okay, and Taye Diggs too. But it’s all too painful for me.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who discusses flats- practical versus pretty- with my friends. But I think the only thing that makes me friends call me “grandmotherly” is the sleeping robe I’ve had ever since I can remember. It’s blue felt velvet-like, and when I wear it I look like I just stepped out of the retirement home but I don’t care, it’s completely comfortable.
