St. Patrick's Day 2011

The night before, we headed to the mall to get some green attire for St. Patrick’s Day! I got a shirt that said “I wanna know where the gold’s at” and we both got some green nail polish. After a long day at work, we headed to an Irish pub to get some green beer!

I set the GPS to O’Dougherty’s. For some reason, it told us to get onto the interstate and then go almost to Idaho. We were confused, but we decided to let the GPS guide our way. Upon arriving, we encountered a couple leaving and they told us that they weren’t letting any more people in. So we turned back around and got back into the car. We found the O’Dougherty’s that was actually closest to us. This one was not as packed and we were able to get in and get a beer…or a pitcher!

The place was actually pretty fun. There were people our age and the music was great! These two random girls started talking to us. They were really drunk, but really friendly! They asked us why we were here from Florida. This was a question we were getting asked a lot. It is really complicated to answer the correct way, so we started saying that we had just moved here.

They were playing 80’s and early 90’s music which was awesome! Everyone started to dance, and so did we! Then some creepster came up to us and asked if he could dance alongside of us. He also mentioned that he didn’t want to cramp our style and that if we wanted to find other guys, to just let him know. Since we weren’t really looking for guys, we said we didn’t care if he was there….until he started to dance. He looked like he was being tasered! Then he was talking to Margaret and called us whores. That was that. We finished our pitcher and decided to head home since we had to get up early.

We were discussing how great our night out had been when we got back to the car. As we were about to get in, Margaret said, “Hey Lauren, there’s a condom on the door handle.” In disbelief, I went over to the driver’s side door….and there it was…

To make the night even weirder than it was, we got pulled over just a block away from the apartment. We weren’t sure why, since we weren’t speeding. The cop said that our headlight was out. I knew that it wasn’t as bright, but I was sure that it wasn’t out. But since he was a cop, I believed him.  The next day I went to get a new bulb. When the sales guy came out to install it for me, he said that my headlight definitely wasn’t out. I replaced it anyways since it was dull, but still that cop had no right to pull us over. He was just trying to get people since it was St. Patrick’s day…what a douche.
