"True colour reflects colour"

My re-emerging into real society was pretty successful last night...if you call copious amounts of Havana rum and dancing to some good old funky town music successful!!

My friend Jenna and I headed for the bright lights of a town where everyone thinks they're Uber cool, and seemingly, all wear wooly hats or scarves...even whilst dancing!! The bars were all dark and lit with red lighting to make sure everyone looked beautiful but the talk was good and so was the people watching.

Don't think bad of us but when me and Jenna are out we use pseudonyms if we meet a particularly awful man or group of men. "Hi I'm Erin and this is my friend Cassandra". Now, last night a particularly smelly 60 something year old decided it would be fun to brush his hands through Jenna's hair; no not brush violently molest her hair. Now this would have been weird enough had he not smelt so awful and then insisted on trying to taste our drinks! This seemed to be our turning point in the night as we got attention from the strangest of the male species that this bar could throw at us. But the strangest came from two girls, who were happily coupled up with each other, when they asked us if we were a couple. Now, Jenna and I have often used this as an excuse to ward off pesky predators, as I'm sure many thousands of other girls have. But not for one second did we ever actually believe that when we're not pretending do we look like a couple!! So baffled were our new friends when we told them no, that they asked us, "What you're not even gay?". I am not offended in the slightest by this because some of my best friends are gay, but they must have really askew gay-dars, either that or me and Jenna need to spend less time together!!

But my favourite part of the night was at the end when we had just finished our obligatory cheesy chips when we bumped into two South African guys who had been pulling some seriously out-there break dancing moves 20 minutes previous. Now, having been a "little" affected by my Havana Club Rum and cokes I told them that their dancing was pretty amazing and that they thoroughly entertained us. They loved this!! But rather than trying to chat us up, they told us that we were throwing some pretty good moves too which led to one of them saying that "True colour reflects colour"...

...take from this what you will but I'm taking it as that me and Jenna should audition for the next Britain's Got Talent and give Diversity a run for their money!!

Watch this space :)
