he takes a whiskey drink, he takes a vodka drink

am i the only one that feels like chumbawumba will be tragically overlooked on the list of "greatest bands of all time"?

ugh. ugh. ugh. that's all i can say about this weekend. no, actually, i think the whole weekend can be summarized in two words: 'vodka' & 'penises'. dear lord.
courtney sighes heavily, and takes a moment to pause and reflect on the general direction of her life...

friday night i went out in arlington with tina and newly-liberated kasey. a fantastic girls night out. i told every boy i met that my name was Zoey, which left tina and kasey to frantically create personalities for themselves (stacy & kelly). [i really want to get more creative with my bar persona. like, create a really exciting alter-ego for myself. usually i just lie about my name and then get honest about where i live and what i do. from now on i think i'll be zoey who just moved here from seattle for her government job and really can't stand all these uptight east-coasters and believes the worst thing of all time was that mainstream fans killed the grunge scene by overexposure. haha.]
met up with geoff for a bit which lead to the inevitable dave matthews band conversation and listening to random shows. it made me realize that the tour starts in 10 days and i haven't even switched into my summertime "listen primarily to DMB b/c it's tour season" mode... i'm still in my wintertime "avoid DMB b/c there's no tour and i'll just get depressed." first thing tomorrow i'm flipping the switch! that's right. i said it.

saturday was early morning conversations and bargaining for rides. "usually we're last-call types of girls... emphasis on the call-girl..." :) haha. the afternoon FLEW by and before i knew it, t'was time to meet rebeca and get ready for bachelorette excitement. so fun. we rode up to baltimore in a limo, pulled some crazy movie star antics out the window. dinner at the hard rock where we met some older, generous german men. they were all to willing to help us get ashley toasted on her 'last night out'. haha. one strip club, one dance club, and many many many cape cods later ashley i and tried (and failed miserably) to play pachebel's canon in D on the grand piano in the hotel lobby. so fun.

i am feeling like CRAP right now. no more drinking.
