Sassy Black Friend

Fancy cocktails

In lieu of some expensive party that would have sucked, I spent the night of the inauguration at a friend’s house. It was fun to watch all the people still freezing from standing outside all day stumble around in their formal wear. Suckers.

The boyfriend has been partying for about 5 days straight, so he fell asleep on a couch around 9 pm. Adorable until I had to get him up four hours later to leave. In the meantime I decided to experiment with some of the fancy cocktails our hostess was making. As always, that was a mistake. So along with being cold and tired I was drunk and feeling sick yesterday. Go me.

At the time it seemed like a good idea. New president, new cocktails. Blue things, clear things, red things, I don’t even know things. A drink can completely change your mood. A dry martini makes you feel like you should be wearing a smart suit and carrying a Zero Halliburton briefcase. a Long Island Iced Tea drops you right back to a dirty smelly college student on Spring Break. Sadly the hang over brings you back to reality.
