I Don't Want to Scare Off the Old People

I'm friggin' exhausted and tried to nap for over 2 hours but sleep evaded me. Why am I so tired you ask? Well...you saw my schedule from yesterday but what I didn't know at the time was I was going to let myself get talked into going out on the town with a bunch of the girls after the event. Let's get something straight right now. I used to be a party animal and when I say party animal I am talking the kind that goes out until 2:00am or later 5-6 nights a week. Sometimes I would even be up until 5:00 in the morning. Looking back at it now I haven no idea how I did it because I got home at 2:30 this morning and I didn't drink last night but when I woke up this morning at 5:45 (because I had to leave for church by 6:15 because I was working graphics) I literally felt like I had a HORRIFIC hangover. My eyes ached. My head hurt. I couldn't think straight. I had a good time for the most part but all in all it wasn't really worth it come waking up time. Maybe if my body would slow down enough to nap it might be better but so far no such luck.

Anywho, back to last night. We all had a great time at Express MiE between the cocktail hour and the demos. The demographic for the studio is quite vast so it varies from early 20's until well...older than that. We headed out to a bar in downtown Tempe for the evening. We got there all ready to dance and the DJ wasn't playing anything good. We endured it for a while until I couldn't handle it anymore. I went over to talk to him. Asked him to play something dirty. Like the kind of stuff you can really dance to. Do you know what he said? He said, "There are still a bunch of old people here and I don't want to scare them off." To which I quickly responded, "Oh...don't worry. They're with us." As I walked away and the music changed it struck me. We are in downtown Tempe. A total college town. I'm almost 30. I'm a part of that "old" crowd. I think I'm okay with it though cause us "old" gals tore it up way better than the young kids did.
