And so goes the headlines of my life.
Crap, I so badly need a new site right now. So so so badly.
Anyway, Friday night I got dressed up to check out the Monte Carlo fundraiser at the Sheraton Hotel. Getting ready for the event was frustrating enough, because I only have like FIFTEEN DRESSES and we all know you can’t recycle the same dress within the span of a year. At one point I stomped my feet like an unruly toddler and screamed, “I’M NOT PRETTY ENOUGH FOR DOCTORS.”
(The Monte Carlo is some fundraiser thing hosted by the med school students, including my buddy Jagerbomb. And I just realized I missed this week’s episode of Grey’s, omg.)
So we had some drinks at the house and then Chef’s friend proceeds to get stupid-drunk and puke in our sink. This happened all very quickly as we were leaving the house, and I kinda remember seeing it out of the corner of my eye and thinking “did that guy just puke in my sink?” But pushed it off because it seemed like SHEER INSANITY that I’m 23 years old and still have people puking in my sink.
Let me tell you something, having to clean that up after returning home at 3 a.m. isn’t a pleasant stroll through the park. As payback, we drank his $30 bottle of wine.
Anyway, Monte Carlo was alright, but my friends didn’t want to stay long as drinks were $7 each. I did see my super mega hot gym crush there though, so now I’m wondering if he’s a doctor. I run into him everywhere, we’re total soulmates. I can feel it. Except oh yeah, I’m asexual and haven’t been physically touched in months. Did I just say that out loud? TENSIONS ARE HIGH.
We spent the remainder of the night at Lottie’s, taking over the dancefloor and having impromptu photoshoots. People definitely hate us. My quiet, stay-at-home weekend to catch up on shiz turned into me running all over the city and making crafts with the Rangers. I went to the St. Thomas Church and checked out some puddin’ makin’ event, and poked around a museum where Kevin Major was doing a reading. Why is it that everytime I’m in the company of “good” people, I want to roll around on the floor clasping their ankles and begging for forgiveness?
Oh yeah, here’s why.

LOL I’m 27 and still have people puking in my sink… so you should probably just get used to it!
Candice, you’re all sorts of awesome. And I agree with Christopher, your arm definitely doesn’t look like an 80 yr old…

haha, that random birthday hat made me laugh a lot.
“puddin making event”??? that sounds amazing.
on a completely unrelated note, I’m now slightly obsessed with Matador (because I’m always clicking your twitter links), and really want to sign up for MatadorU.

You’re still young – you will have plenty of time to pick up a doctor. I, on the other hand, am too old and have to resort to the old creepy guy in the bar. You know which one I’m talking about. Every bar has one. And I’m getting to the point where he hits on me, not because I’m hot, but because he thinks he has a chance. Your arm looks fine, relax
And the birthday hat looks awesome.

Good good stuff, but you need to hang around more 80 year old ladies.

@meg: DO IT! was pretty much my launch pad for travel writing. although, if you wait until i get an affiliate link up on my site, that’d be cool.
@V: damn if a hot blonde lawyer like yourself can’t pick up a doctor i stand NO CHANCE.
@J: I’m SO on it
@Nashe: well, it’s time you get started before you begin gravitating towards mid-20s
@SFL: that might’ve been the best comment ever received on this blog, gracias

Next time you see gym crush/doctor guy you need to let him know you’re soul mates and have him take care of that asexual issue, or ask him to stop stalking you.

It’s probably because I’m chubby and mean. At least that’s what my mother tells me my problem is. I think she may be right. Damn it.

1st, you are doing exactly what you should be doing at 23. Shit girl, I am still doing that at 39 and THAT my dear is when you shouldn’t be.
2nd, I missed Greys to and I am pissed. I however missed it because I was too tired to stay up past 8pm. It is that 39 year old thing again.
3rd, you are too hot for doctors, get it straight.

you have a friend named JagerBomb and you’re surprised people are still puking in your sink? Like Carissa and Nick said, you’re not (never?) too old for that.

Candice, you are too pretty enough for a doctor! And be glad your arm is just a product of angle and photographic perspective and not reality!

Lol! Okay 1) your arm is not fat in the least, 2) I was def offered coke this weekend at a crazy ass party. That hasn’t happened since I was like 21, so don’t feel bad about the puke in your sink or any of the other craziness. I’m with ya girl!
You look like you had a great time! Who cares if some think you had “too much fun”

I love reading what you have to write because it reminds me of my three wild nights that I had before I got married and had a baby (when that happens you’ll at least be related to anyone who you are cleaning up their puke or poop…although a $30 bottle of wine sounds like good compensation because I perform my labor for free!). Really what I like to do while I’m reading is pretend that I had a crazy and fun life!! Please continue so I can continue to pretend with you!

Thanks for always brightening my day. hahaha. Good on ya for drinking the $30 wine; you deserved it. Oh and any doctor would be lucky to have you. And by have you I mean…

@Linlah: I want to grab his curls and squeeze his biceps, how about that?
@V: Do we have the same mother?
@Danielle: Bahaha, 39 is never too old! I have a feeling I’ll be doing the same at that point. I come from a long, long line of boozers.
@Kyle: True, I also have a friend I like to refer to as Beer, and another I refer to with a pub name…
@Sabina: Hahhahaha, thanks Sabina!
@Cammy: Lol, judging by the photos on your blog with the naked horse-head thing, I’m not the least bit surprised
@Kate: Hahahaha, I love how you said “three wild nights.” Well you’ve convinced me, there’s no way I’m slowing down now!
@Nancy: I agree, totally justified. And thanks!

I wanna see your friend with the name Jagerbomb
As for your arm – it doesn’t look a day over 65, don’t worry!

Let’s see…I’m 37 and a neighbor of mine puked in our bushes during the neighborhood Christmas party last year (because he was drinking beer out of the crystal vase he got in the gift exchange.) So, yeah, 23? Go for it!

It’s possible – my mother and sister do have red hair.

So last night I was at a bar and the lead singer of the band playing said “Do we have any Canadians in the crowd tonight?” And I thought of you. Fondly.

@Rob: Her identity will never be revealed! But she’s hot and has brown hair, just sayin’
@Juniper: point taken, I’m so gonna puke all over everyone’s lawn at the next party
@V: This makes my heart smile <3

I’m pretty sure I know that guy in the photo with the glasses. Hahaha. He’s not a doctor, but he did just pass the bar (and not the kind that serve alcohol).
