Feeling a lot older than I am.
We're hanging out, describing our visit to the 80's Night at a local club to a friend who wasn't there.
"There were all these creepy guys on the dance floor. They'd come up and rub up against you until you gave them a look."
"Yeah, and even worse the guys who lined up around the dance floor staring at everyone."
"Right! And as the night went on the girls were wearing barely any clothes. It was, ugh. Weird."
Pause.
"So wait, what you're saying is that you were at a club, where people dance and try to hook up with people?"
"Right.....and then? All these women were dancing suggestively and it's like everyone was there just to meet someone to have sex with. Or something. My God. What kind of place is that!?"
"Yeah, that's what the kids call a 'Club'."
"....Well, yes.....I sound a thousand years old don't I?"
"Pretty much."
It used to be so much fun--it sounds like a nightmare now. Yes, I'm officially old.

Um, yup. Sounds like my inner dialogue the last time I went out. Which is why I prefer takeout and my tivo.

I'm in college, and I have only been to a club once. Once was enough. I felt like I was an extra in a National Geographic special on the mating rituals of young adult humans. I'll stay home and watch something on Discovery about some other species, thanks.

I didn't really like the club scene when I was a young thang, so you can imagine how I feel about it now.

At least I hope you stayed out past, say, 9:30!!
Sigh. I remember starting to get ready to go out at 9:30. Those days are gone (and, to tell the truth, can't say I want to do all of them over again!)

Ten years ago, I thought that kind of thing was a fun night out. Four years ago was the last time I went to a club, and I felt like I was at a meat market. Ugh. No. Give me my TV and a warm blanket any night of the week.

I'm dreading the day when I try to go to a club and the bouncer says, "I can't let you in cause you're old as f*ck," a la "Knocked Up." That could happen at any time.

Strange men rubbing against me gives me the heeby-jeebies. Men that do laundry turn me on. Am old.
But I already knew that.

I remember those club places! Kind of. I think I was too busy dressing suggestively and doing Lemon Drops to take in much of the atmosphere.
Thank God I'm married and boring now. I just don't have the energy, alcohol tolerance, or boobs anymore to survive that scene...

A few girlfriends and I went to A Club while on a weekend get-a-way. we learned our lesson. Next time? Martini's. In our room. where it's safe.

I have a theory that no one actually likes clubs. Even the regulars. It's just something they think they have to do.

Nightclubs..... Ah to be young and single again!! Sigh.............. Um No!! LOL
Posted by: Anne | 2008.05.13 at 08:55 AM
Is that really what happens at clubs? Makes me kinda glad I'm a hermit.
Posted by: Maggie | 2008.05.13 at 12:03 PM
To the other Maggie: Yes, that really happens at clubs. It's like Night at the Roxbury.
To Melissa: That happened to me two weeks ago, only with bowling. We sat there with another couple being horrified at the dates that were going on around us. AND THEN THE GUY BEHIND THE DESK HIT ON ME AT THE JUKEBOX. I'm too old for this shit.

So I've never in my life been to a club, and what you wrote basically sums up my fear of a da club. But what I really wanted to say is that the new (to me) photo over in the corner is gorgeous!!

Hilarious.

History Channel program on lost books of the Bible.
Mentioned there was a woman made in perfect equality with Adam, one who refused to take a subservient role and rejected his advances. The gods dispatched an angel for her and she ascended.
This is true::::This IS material written which was rejected when the Bible was compilated.
They subsequently illustrate how Lillith was demonized by these disfavored Meditereaneans. Because Eve was made from man SHE is the source of women's evil.
"Very fast growing tumor, 3 months ago may not have been detectable."-MD
Ted may be good and this is his punishment for the evil of endorsing Osama. Similarly, JFK started the Vietnam War.
People may be confused, since both are clone hosts. There are good clone hosts which the gods could use to send a clue, the Ted Kennedy-Osama malignant cancer being a good example.
If these people were evil they wouldn’t be getting this "feedback". Of course as highly visible figures this "feedback" is for us.
When it comes to "acceptable losses" it is ALWAYS best to let the gods do it through "acts of god". This is one of the things clone hosts learn when they "come around".
Planet Reverse Positioning::::Your infertility was favor, for the gods were granting you more time in hope you could get out "before" this obligation forced you to stay.
The Italians bred like rabbits:::That they got "pregnant immediately" illustrated their undesirability.
Your children are the ones with the opportunity now. You must sacrifice to give them the best chance possible.
It's children who go to heaven, not old people.
This is the REAL battle of good and evil:::Me vs. god. Of course I'm trying to help you understand that you are corrupted, fell for temptation and are going the wrong way::::WE are the ones who are evil. (While executing the battle of good and evil the gods do some evil things, like role play their clone host tools to disceive you, forcing thoughts into your head, etc.)
The gods tested us and we have failed, scapegoatting their tools to ensure people never become god-fearing. Learn what I teach and try to uncorrupt yourselves. NOBODY IS GOING TO SAVE YOU!! You have to save yourselves by repairing your relationship with the gods.

This is how the gods do business:::::They use temptation and deception to compel people to chase something that has already been decided. It's children who go to "beaven". OLd people have to come back. The gods will use their power to contradict this, corrupting people and compelling them to incurr evil::::They used the Italians to ruin life in the 20th century, cost you the Final Prophet and the result will be death as you wait for the Italian Second Coming of Christ to save you.
This is the god's positioning and it IS going to be enforced. Never forget::::The gods have always offered "protection" to those genuinely religious. It is something that was always respected, even in the wicked 20th century.
