Spontaneous adventures

People would think me mad for agreeing to go away for the night with three guys I barely know! I would generally think I was mad too; but I decided to be adventurous.

Last Friday night I went to watch a band playing; I knew the drummer so I wanted to go and support him at his first gig. At the gig, after dinner, this guy came in with a friend and sat next to me. We got along really well and spent the rest of the evening chatting! Now, when I am talking I tend to take ages to finish my drink. The friends that I went with were seated at the other end of the table and looked like they were having a good time. They had mentioned to me that they wanted to leave, but I had just ordered a glass of wine so said to them “sure, as soon as I’ve finished this”. It must have been quite a while after this that I got a message from one of them saying “that wines going to evaporate faster than you’re drinking it :P) *Oops!* So the wine was downed and off we went.

We all went to one of our local spots where you can drink and dance.  On arrival we were a little cautious; there were a few cops standing at the entrance with their guns; a few more than normal, but we decided to go in anyway. Due to recent problems here and with the world cup going on, there is extra security everywhere.

Beer, laughter, dancing and catching up pretty much describes my night. Plus being able to dance with someone that knows how to dance is always a bonus. Problem is, I am always leading people, so when I am with someone that is trying to lead me...well, I get a little confused! (I think I also stood on his feet a few times- sorry!)

Somewhere in the early hours of the morning I was invited to go away with these three guys for the night (the one I met at dinner plus his two friends). A drunken invite is all I thought of it. Until lunch time the next day when I got a call saying they wanted to leave in an hour. I must admit I was in a little shock! The sensible me probably would have said no, but I had a great time with them the night before and they didn’t seem too strange haha so I decided to go along. I have a friend that lives down the road from where we were staying, and I know the owners of the camp, that I figured I was pretty safe- which I was. I had a really great time and want to do more spontaneous things like that! Next time though, when debating whether we should buy a bottle of gin or not, we should just buy it. I am pretty sure that we drank way more than we would have otherwise!
