Finally! A girls' night out!!!! These two ladies to my right and left have become two of my best girlfriends...we all have different, insanely different personalities, but we somehow make it work...
what I found last night was that you need your girls. I have always been a girl who enjoyed hanging out with the guys. I didn't think girls were worth the time, they were catty, shared secrets even when they were sworn not too, and they always seemed to have a hidden agenda with the friendship they shared with you. Guys were so much easier. I could talk to them, flirt, get advice, and feel like if I told them something they weren't going to repeat it...I mean not only did they probably give me advice even though they didn't understand half of what I said, but they probably would also not remember it tomorrow or see it as more important than the score of the Mizzou game that was on the night before. Although there was obvious issues with confiding in guys to understand my problems, I had a few guy friends that I could trust, knew would listen, and was there for me more than any girl I had ever tried to be friends with...they didn't try to out shine me, they didn't steal my clothes (or my boyfriends for that matter), and my secrets were sacred.
However, these two girls are different as I think I've said before. My girl on the left, well, she's a pageant queen. She loves getting all dressed up in evening gowns, make-up, and high heels. She's bubbly, extremely bubbly, and the life of the party. Unfortunately, I feel like she's got a sad side as well, which makes me wish I could find a way to solve all her problems...they are so much like mine were when I still lived with my parents. My lady on the right is quiet and soft spoken even though she looks like she may be a party girl. She loves her ethnicity, her husband, and tattoos, she's actually getting the rest of her pin-up girl done today. She's also the best listener that I have ever met, which has made me confide more in her than I ever did with some people I considered the best of friends. The differences between all of us are evident, and would usually make us and unlikely trio, but I think the differences between us make us stronger, because we all have something to add to our friendship...
We'd never done a girls' night out. We're all in serious relationships, I think the shortest out of the three is 3 years. All of us plan to get married to the guy we're with, or are already married. So we took the chance to spend some time together before our educations take us 2 hours away from each other or just cause us to have our heads stuck in a book. We went to a close "club." I say this lightly because the place seemed more of a watering hole with $1 bottles and these $10 drinks they put in a boot that are a mixture of vodka and some kind of fruit punch. Stick 3 straws in the boot, and this became our choice of drink. We danced, we laughed, we had guys buy us drinks and then refused their advances. After 5 hours of pouring energy into our girlie outing, we were still hyped up, singing at the top of our lungs in my car, and talking about how much we're going to miss each other when we are separated for the school semester.
From hanging with these two ladies, I've learned a lot about myself and much more about a good friendship with some terrific girls! Yay to girls' night out and Yay to having some of the best friends a girl could ask for!
