So we went out dancing last Saturday to appropriately celebrate the ending of the school year, as well as Rebecca's birthday as well as Rebecca and Catherine going to Europe beginning of May. An auspicious day packed with auspicious celebration, to be sure. It was a lot of fun, we hit up Suite 69 on Whyte and I was pleasantly surprised by the music and ambiance. Normally, places like that piss me off with their top 40's tunes and aged-18 crowds -- both of which I have no love for, but the tunes were delightfully dated to 80's and 90's for the most part, and there was a very 21-and-up feel to the crowd. I danced up a storm and allowed myself TWO drinks, which is fairly substantial for me with my bad heart lol. I was kind of disappointed with the dance floor, admittedly. It was a fairly packed club, yet all the girls on the floor were dancing like zombies >_> that's to be expected of men, because they think that if they dance, everyone will make fun of them (Which is NOT true, by the way, girls LIKE guys who can dance, I promise) but I was a little surprised at the girls. I'd like to think we set an example lol. I love to dahnce T_T as did the rest of us there, and we cut a very lively rug.
About half-way through the night, Grace joined us with her new man. I was excited to see Grace so didn't really pay much mind to the boy she came with, and while I would LIKE to say I was tipsy and it impaired my inhibitor when it comes to being a dick, that's... just not the case. I wouldn't be fooling anyone. Unfortunately, I forget that not everyone can take criticism or jerk-laced jibes quite the same way as myself or most of my friends. We left the floor to return to our table to chat a bit, and Steven snorted and whispered to me that the guy Grace came with had a popped collar. Now... anyone who's been on the internet, or has ANY sense of style KNOWS that popped collar = DOUCHE, amirite?! I know I am! And I felt immediately compelled to let the boy know this. I thought I was doing him a favour -- as who wants to look like a Douche?!
So I walk over to the guy, tell him I'll help him out, and fold down his collar, saying much better! To which he instantly grabs the collar and pops it back up, saying he never wears it down. I thought I would help him further, and told him that the popped collar makes him look like a douche -- and in that moment right there, I knew that if I was a man, he would have started a fight lol >_> I did NOT make a good impression with that boy. I was only trying to not make him look like a tool. Sigh. Some men just can't be helped, and Grace can do much better. Any man who takes his popped collar that seriously is truly and irreparably... a douche.
...also I saw 17 Again and it was magical.
