The Day I Almost Went Clubbing

I came home from work and was getting ready to go clubbing for the first time. Before I left, I called my brother and asked him what it was like. He told me that he didn't really like clubbing very much, he just sat at the bar and drank.

"I don't want to do that," I told him. "I thought that clubbing was more like dancing."
"It is if you want to dance. I just sit at the bar and drink."
"Well, maybe I won't like it because I don't like drinking and I don't like loud music. I'm also tired."
"I don't like it, tired or not tired."
"Then why do you go?"
"My friends make me."

I decided to go anyway, just for the experience. I showered and got dressed, then met up with the friends who were going to take me there. They were getting dressed, and waiting for another friend who knew more of the clubbing scene in the area. When she arrived, however, she said that most clubs don't have anything happening before 11 pm so she suggested we go to a nearby tavern to have a drink first. I didn't mind, but I told my friends that if we weren't going to the club until eleven, then I was just going to have a drink at the tavern and then go home. I ended up paying three dollars for a lemonade while everyone else had alcohol. I tried making conversation there, but the music was just so loud that I couldn't hear anyone and people had a hard time hearing me. After half an hour, I gave up and went home. I'm not really a night owl or a party person so I decided that if clubs were places that only started the fun around eleven at night, then I didn't want to go. I know it sounds boring, but I'd rather get my sleep instead of forcing myself to be a place with loud music and alcohol just so I can get the "experience." I'll leave the clubbing to the other young thangs in this town. This girl is going to get some beauty sleep.
