Was last night a full moon?

Thanks to my friend Pesto I ended up in a pub last night. This wasn't altogether a terrible thing as it was the 21st of another friend, Bar Fridge. I ended up throwing back a few drinks and engaging in social activities like talking and joking and laughing. It was definitely an experience. I was talking to one of Bar Fridge's random hookups - Red Shirt. He seemed pretty cool and we talked for a while. I was actually surprised. In a setting filled with people I don't know I normally cling to the few people I do know and refuse to open my mouth. Even alcohol is limited in it's power to make me friendly. But I was on fire.

Another of Bar Fridge's random hookups came to say hi. He was a fat balding ginger with a beard and he looked about thirty six years old. He starts asking me if I know about the sweet ginger love. I'm like, "of course I do" because clearly we're a team on this one. He wants to know how he can explain to the people about the sweet ginger love, because apparently they just don't understand. I say to him, "The only way to explain to someone about the sweet ginger love is to give it to them." Now that I'm sober and typing, it doesn't seem quite so hilarious but at the time it sealed the deal and I became a cool dude for one night.
