You Can Take The Girl Out Of The Honky-Tonk...

Last night was The Night, the night we went to Cook County. It was SO much fun. Seriously, it's my kind of bar. It was cold having to stand outside for what seemed like ages before we got in, but it was definitely worth it. I rode the bull. That's right, I rode The Bull. And let me tell you, I was scared shitless once I saw how big it actually was. But you know, once you got on there, it wasn't so bad. I literally had to climb on top of the bull because it was so big, and then the guy strapped my hand in and was all "this is how you hold onto the rope, when the bull goes forward, you lean back. When the bull goes back, you lean forward. Keep your arm at shoulder hight and your heels in. Any questions?", and seriously did not blink the entire time. And then once the bull started, I was so scared I was going to fall off, I swear I almost wet myself. lol. Okay, not really. And then Adam and Dan were shouting "ride it like it's a British boy" and "pretend it's Mark" or something to that effect. Which made me laugh. And then I went sailing head over teacup. Really, it was quite fun.

And then I went and danced on the dance floor a few times with everyone, and of course for the Cadillac Ranch, but no two-stepping for Mare. Apparently I wasn't attractive enough to be asked to dance, which is just as well anyways as I don't know how to two-step lol. But I did go dance on top of the bar, which was ridiculously fun, and I ended up grinding with some girl on the bar that all of a sudden started dancing with me. It was all good. And then on my way back to get a drink, some guy tried to pick me up by giving me eyes and motioning me to come dance with him and his male dance partner. And you know, as attractive as that was, I just had to decline as I was really very thirsty. lol.

And then on the walk home, Dana and I were whistled at and cat called a few times, and some drunk guy tried to pick Dana up, so really, it was a fun evening.

After all, who doesn't like being hit on by random drunk guys in bars who are singing loudly and off key while doing pelvic thrusts in their general direction?
