Angelica is having a Girls Night next month. I said no to the last one because it originally involved sitting around the house in your bridal/bridesmaid dress, an activity that ranks somewhere between using the spelling “womyn” and getting a Pap smear from a male doctor who cares way too much about female health to just get it over with on the scale of desirable female-centric things to do. The ridiculous dress code was vetoed as a theme at the last minute, so I went over there and drank a bottle of wine.

There is no dress code this time (THAT I KNOW OF), so I have no qualms about attending, nor will I sit around with my other curmudgeonly friends and say “You could not get me to go to that thing even if you paid for my alcohol.” I don’t really know what’s involved, though, save for other people who own vaginas and, the invite says, sangria. It’s not as if I won’t know anyone there; the majority of people who have been invited are either good friends or friendly acquaintances of mine, which is why it’s dumb that I feel awkward about the concept of a girls night.

I’m not very girlish. Sangria is too sweet for me, I always curse more than anyone else there, and I’m more willing to make a joke about my period than talk about buying makeup in a department store. Aside from the 1:00 mark, I am not like this at all:

Obviously this entire subject was an excuse to post these videos.
