This week has made me into a mess of emotions and being stuck in the middle of nowhere at the beginning of New York's S/S 2011 Fashion Week certainly didn't help. So, even though I swore that I was not going to drink this weekend, I found myself at 7:40 pm yesterday rushing to get ready for a night out with friends and acquaintances. The evening started out tame enough, with me nursing a single drink and nibbling on a few fries stolen from a friend while others had two or more drinks with dinner. We then ran into a former friend who has, for unknown reasons, decided to snub us this year (too bad he was there with only one friend who is not popular herself, which only made him seem like the ostracized party). With that awkwardness out of the way, it was time to go to a proper bar. During dinner, there were stories swapped about having trouble while being carded, so it was humorous when the i.d. checker asked me if I had a secondary i.d. on me, believing my driver's license was a fake. Being in the middle of nowhere, the alcohol was ridiculously cheap ($2 for any drink...literally any drink) and very strong...which meant that I got drunk. This led to me proceeding each noun with f*cking (i.e. f*cking rain, f*cking bacon) and sending off a really stupid email (though the response I got wasn't impressive either). I haven't gotten smashed like that in ages, and clearly for good reason. I suppose I should just be glad that I didn't end up in an ugly stranger's bed.
Anyways, tonight is FNO. Since there aren't any FNO activities going on in the entire state, I am consoling myself with chocolate and my favorite fashion movies, "The Devil Wears Prada" and "Funny Face." Going to New York for Thanksgiving Break, so I know that I'll be shopping in about 2.5 months. I'll actually be there for over a week, which is the longest that I've ever stayed in the city. Without any set itinerary, I'm looking forward to really experiencing the city.
