Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur.

Last night was High School Throwback Night!, as in canned beer, bowling, and parking lots. It has been more than four years ago since I've drunk beer out of a can or in a parking lot. It's also been a while since I went bowling. We used to go all of the time in high school. Our reason being that it was more than an hour away to get there so we'd be using almost all of our Friday nights in transit and wouldn't have to spend much at home.

With The Girls in Atlantic City for the weekend I had to turn to The Boys for fun. We decided to go midnight bowling because of my late night work schedule and while I was at work The Hoch and I decided we wanted to go drinking so we compromised on getting a case of beer and drinking it in a parking lot until it was time to go inside. While we were sitting in my car eating yogurt and sipping Yuengling or as it's know in my family: Chinese Beer (sometimes we're not the most politically correct people out there), league bowlers kept exiting their yellow castle and we kept having to duck down behind the dash so people wouldn't question any of our questionable activities. I admit that looking back on last night we were probably a little too overcautious and brought more attention to ourselves by constantly ducking instead of just sitting still in the dark car.

Bowling was a success (at least for me!) The Hoch and I took our drinking inside to the bar, but once the black lights came on and illuminated the quinine in my drink all I could was stare at the pretty glowing drink. I love science! The gin helped be bowl my best games though. I won all three games against The Boys and I won by quite a bit too. I'm not a big fan of bowling because it always makes my fingertips hurt afterwards but last night was really fun. It's nice to take a turn away from the usual norms and do something different for a change.
