Clubbing

Clubbing is a bit of an odd thing really. We pay loads for it - seriously, think about it, we stand in the supermarket thinking about which pasta will save us 17p over a week, then go and down £20 before even getting to a club. We have to do so, as going sober would be a bit weird. I have tried it. Getting drunk involves finding a bar which is so busy and expensive that you have to stand up. That is the first rational thing you do I suppose, as it gets you used to the experience for when you get there. Once you are sufficiently pissed to pay even more money (which could have been spent on that more pretty twirly pasta to mix your tuna / ragu sauce with) its time to leave. And if there are girls there, you have to get a taxi, as their hair goes funny in the rain. Which brings me onto my next point, why exactly do women spend so much time doing themselves up? It must be for the sake of other girls, as men really don’t care. Be honest, if a girl is showing any cleavage what so ever, or eluding to the fact that she has breasts, or a bum, or any such organ, blokes are not really going to be looking at her nails. The entirety of the following day has to be spent talking about exactly who went to the toilet when, who went home with who, how awful we all feel etc.


Sorry that was such a crap blog, by the way, I have been busy today and had to write something quickly before I went to bed. But it is over 100 words so I am still on course for my challenge of wring a blog every day for four weeks. Yay.

Your gender stereotyping concerns me, as does the fact you have stolen my blog layout.

Some girls spend a lot of time doing themselves up because it makes them feel good about themselves, they feel pretty, and witty and bright (In the words of Maria from west side story). Some girls don't bother. Some boys spend a lot of time doing themselves up.

Clubbing is fun because you get to dance! Do you like dancing?

Ahh - people are reading my blog! Don't take that too seriously, it took about three minutes to write. I am more concerned by the rituals people go through to go clubbing as opposed to the act its self. Yeah, most of what I wrote there was generalised on what the girls (and boys) who live in my house do to be honest. Yeah, i was suggesting women just like getting ready for themselves.

Ahh dancing. It requires alcohol.

Well, as long as you're not a secret sexist, I'll be happy!

I think everyone should dance more, it's good for the soul. You don't need alcohol necessarily, though it does help...
