on maintaining practice of participatin in nyc nightlife

after close to a month of not going out out, i allowed a friend to convince me to venture into manhattan for dessert and dancing. and, yes, it was another extremely late night - got home close to 5 am.

the post mortem on the night: sadly, i was sans contact lenses and avec my glasses. and despite hearing about how nerdy girls are attractive from some folks, i myself don't feel all that comfortable in a club/lounge scene with my glasses. on top of that i was also sporting a newly contrived clothing combo that i didn't feel 'hot' in, so that added another element of general discomfort.

as the night progressed, following a series of random conversations and lots of people watching, i got to thinking that maybe i'm just out of practice in these social situations. i mean i wasn't stuttering excessively or spitting on people or anything, but in terms of when to stop certain conversations, when to shut up and dance, and when to check out before it's 4 am (!!!)

all in all, it was a decent night on the town. although i could also convince myself that it was a borderline-should've-stayed-in-bed case : )
