It's a Monday night; all my friends are going out on the town. "Jobless mother fuckers" I say aloud to my roommate who is also going out on the town. Monday night is the best night to go out in Derby; all the studenty bars choose that night to make the beer cheaper and therefore the clientele cheaper too.
All the girls who 'just wanna have fun' are out, the music is always better, and the air always tastes sweeter. Tonight the air tastes like old tramp vomit because I'm working tomorrow. In the words of 'Wayne's world': "Denied".
My roommate comes up with the ingenious plan that we will venture forth anyway; I can hang out in the pubs get a little bit of that sweet smelling air and then go home to bed when my buddies enter the hallowed land of 'The Blue Note' Derby's finest (still completely shitty) rock club.
We arrive at the pre-club pub "The Blessington Carriage" It's rammed; we're talking shoulder-to-shoulder here, breast-to-breast. Mmmmmmm, sweaty bouncy boobs.
The air is wet, everyone is sticky, and the music is pounding through the walls, people give you that warm tickling sensation in your eardrum as they speak close enough to your inner cerebellum for you to hear them.
I can't get to the bar for people but that's ok because I can drink the sweat off the back of the fat guy in front of me. The atmosphere is brilliant, but that pang of pity for my future self is still with me. I'm working tomorrow, I can't get too drunk and I definitely can't go to the club.
"Dude, screw work, when did THEY last get you laid?" enquires my roommate
"Hey man not seen you out downtown in ages, this is my sister..." Yells an old school friend.
They're campaigning for me to lose my job.
"Please come to the Blue Note, I don't wanna go back to my parents house maybe we could go back to your place afterwards" submits some piece of jailbait.
I'm sure there's some possibility she's 16 and besides we'd probably just talk until I'd gotten to know her and then maybe I could... No! God damn it I can't have any more time off work, I smash my dick in the face with my fist and head to the bar for pint number 4.
Well its time, my friends are moving onto the club and I need to go to bed if I have any chance of making it to work tomorrow, we all walk together towards the town centre, them for the club and I for a taxi...
That familiar bass sound coming from the door, the smoke filled entrance with the flashing lights just behind the fog, and the friendly boobies are all calling to my legs which appear to now have a mind of there own. I begged them, pleaded with them, "legs go home"... This made me look quite silly.
I tried to pass the club; I swear to god I tried to pass it.
My legs move to the rhythm and I'm inside, intoxicated by the smell, excited by the possibilities. So many girls, so little time. I can't stay long; I'll go home after this drink.
There's this beautiful girl sat in the corner, slightly taller than me, but that's not unusual, Shoulder length blonde hair, incredible figure and a sultry bottom lip like Daddy just spanked her. I wanna be Daddy, and the only place to sit is next to her.
I'm a damn sight lazier than my friends so they stand, and I sit and make like I'm with their conversation, the whole time she's looking kind of bored.
"I know how to start a conversation with her" the slightly stupider side of my brain says to the more sober part.
The more sober part of my brain is asleep.
The words are repeated by the stupider part of my brain and consequently ignored by its sober counterpart.
'Sober brain' doesn't even bat an eyelid as I throw my drink at this beautiful specimen of women before me.
The bouncers haven't noticed. I'm stood there if I remember rightly with my eyes looking in different directions, my tongue flopped graciously out of one side of my face grinning and laughing.
She must have found this in some way attractive because she returned the favour. Unfortunately the bouncers also claimed some of the reward, as the Vodka and orange sprayed spectacularly over my shoulders and onto the biggest blackest bouncer I have ever seen.
I felt cold, and the sensation, woke me up a bit because I managed to talk the bouncers out of throwing her out.
She walked away, and the disappointment washed over me. Maybe throwing the beer was a bad idea.
As her beautiful vision moved away from me I turned my attention the dance floor. I had to impress this girl and I remembered that on a weekly basis something I did on the dance floor would garner a lot of attention from the surrounding crowd. What was it? What is it that I do that makes everyone watch me? I couldn't remember; lets have another drink whilst I think about it. Another beer and I remember, I'm John Travolta on Acid... Wait am I? Too late I'm grooving and sure enough everyone is watching me, are they laughing? I can't tell, does this happen every week?... the thought occurs that I can't actually dance.
Any feelings of dance inadequacy are quickly replaced with surprise and shock as I feel the back of my head become drenched. The sweet taste of lager is washed off the side of my left cheek with my tongue, and I realise someone has thrown a drink at me.
I turn to face my angel. She's smiling and her drink is empty.
"Think you owe me a beer" she says the words spilling from that sultry bottom lip.
I lean forward and wipe my sweaty beer sodden face on her T-Shirt and slur into her ear "Fuck off! Buy yer own".
I walked her back to her taxi and we swapped numbers. Two months later I'm living with her, go figure. If you want my advice fuck work, drink like an idiot and throw beer at girls.
I tried to pass the club? Did I fuck...
