Women at the clubs make me laugh

So a friend of a friend of mine, had her 23rd birthday party at Tabella's in Seattle this last weekend. She instructed before hand that it was to be a Barbie themed party... ok.

So all of us gals dressed in our cutest dresses, curled our hair, and made ourselves gorgous. Whenever I go out with one girlfriend in particular, I always have a blast. We dance until our feet hurt. Have drinks bought for us by cute men, and sometimes make some new friends in the womens bathroom.

However, you can always bet you'll see a clique or two of those "fake, superficial, orange skin, overly white teeth, and fake boobed" girls.

I used to just despise them. Now, I find humor in them. My favorite thing about them, is when I catch them checking themselves out in the large mirrors every 3 minutes. Pretty sure you look the same now than you did 3 minutes ago. I feel like they're more concerned with impressing people than they are with the main reason of going to a club- HAVING FUN!!! Are you really enjoying yourself, being as self concious as you're being? There's no way.

I do my hair and makeup before I go out, yes. But I go out to dance with my girlfriends and laugh at sleazy 30 something men who think the perfect pick up line is: "You must have jsut fallen from heaven, cause, baby, you look like an angel to me." Can I please just quickly tell you what I do to these guys? I tell them I'm from some foreign place. One time it was Africa, last weekend it was Australia. And I make up elaborite details about my life to try and scare them away. Last weekend, I was visitng from Australia, and had just gotten out of jail for murdering my cheating boyfriend and the girl I caught him sleeping with. I can't even explain to you the thrill I get when doing this. And of course, if a nice, presentable guy comes up and is polite enough to buy me a drink, I'll talk to him. I'll give him a chance. I'm just referring to those gross, sleazy, dirtbag guys who honestly think they're taking someone home with them.

But back to the point of my whole rant. Fake conceited girls who's goal in life is to be perfect looking, with the perfect car and annoying dog to match.

Now, I'm comfortable with my body. I've started working out lately, and toning my arms and legs and stomach. I like who I am as a person, I think I'm mature for my age, and I love that I'm known in the office as an "old soul". So why the heck is it that whenever i'm around these girls, I get so intimidated? In all reality, i'm sure they're not all that interesting to have a conversation with. Do they keep up to date with politics? Do they make it a point to voulunteer in their community? Do they even do their own laundry? Who knows! The only image they're giving out, while flashing everyone their little thong at the club, is that they're cheap and easy, and to be honest, probably very insecure. I almost feel bad for them. I imagine them waking up in the morning, looking in the mirror, and saying "Wow, I really am absolutly beautiful. But oh my god, my nose, it's ruining my whole look. That'll be next on my list of things to fix."

Maybe they don't even do that, lol, i don't know. I could just be making that up. But that's the image I get. And I think anyone who obsesses over themselves like that, cannot be truly happy.

My advice: Go take a long walk on some neighborhood trails by yourself, and take time to really think about what makes you happy, and what you want out of life. Do something that you enjoy, and don't worry if it's "nerdy" or "different", it's your life, don't obsess over what other people think. Go to a movie or lunch by yourself. You don't need anyone else to have a good time. If you're comfortable enough with yourself, you should be able to entertain yourself, and not feel self conscious. (Good lesson my mother once taught me.)

Do what makes you truly happy, not what you think others want of you. And for shoots sake, lay off on the bronzer a bit. Believe it or not, it's actually not flattering on you.
