had been resisting going to a bar or club since i got here. not that i'm anti-alcohol, far from, but i hadn't felt the urge to get out there. partly because i didn't want to umchik umchik with kids, and partly because i was quite happy at home. went to a pub with some grad friends last week, and for a social at the union on sunday night but finally resistance was futile and off to the medsoc pub crawl i went. props to J for getting me out of my flat, btw. would've been content to stay in and veg out but J is persistent and persuasive.
decided too late that i was going to be exciting for a change and was left scrambling for a costume. thus, it was only natural to go as a ninja because i had black pieces i could put together, um, plus asian features count for something? so there i was, blatantly reinforcing racial stereotype while trying very hard to have a decent conversation. wish i shared T's dogged determination to avoid potentially drunken environments at all costs, but nope. then again, when the group ends up at not one but two trebles bars, en route to a club, moderation is no longer the key.
