Oreggano and It’s The Eyes have had the privilege of getting together for planned activities twice in the past month. The most recent event being very important in that they were celebrating their birthdays. Always up for a celebration and an opportunity to dress up, Sleepless, That’s Not Chinese and I pulled out our best dresses, applied our fake eyelashes, threw some saucy headbands in our hair and stepped out into the inclement weather for this much anticipated doubleheader.
As we were deep in the throws of festivities, Sleepless was looking deep into the bowels of the crowded venue. That’s Not Chinese noticed her intent yet distant look, thus, Sleepless provided an explanation, “Sometimes, I’m such a bitch. I don’t mean to be, but sometimes I’m a real bitch in my head.” “Me too, girl. Me too,” That’s Not Chinese consoled her. “Just remember,” she added, “We’re the head sisters.” Although we know this is a reference to our headbands, the waiter – who had walked up just in time to her this declaration – may have a different interpretation.
It’s The Eyes was sipping on a glass of grigio – courtesy of me, of course – when she made an announcement, “I like my wine with Sprite. What can I say? I’m trailer trash, I’m picky like that.” This comment conjured up great memories for That’s Not Chinese, “I remember when I was making fun of people living in trailers and Oreggano told me she lived in a trailer. I was so proud to tell her my mom was on welfare.”
Around this time a side comment was made, “It’s always a treat to have extremes of socioeconomic levels at the same table.” This comment came as a bit of a shock to all of us and, as many people do when they’re not sure what to do, we laughed. Oreggano, unbeknownst to her, took care of this awkward moment by returning to the table with an announcement, “We’re gonna have an exclusive party at the next venue.” “Id like to point out that our exclusive party looks like two parties,” said Patty Melt.
Our exclusive two parties then headed to the next venue where we joined up with a bachelorette party. “Every time we come here we are greeted by girls with penis straws,” Oreggano observed and asked, “What is up with that?” “We’re the head sisters,” quipped That’s Not Chinese. Home run….or is that third base?
