Enjoying the Night Life for once

I've always talked about how boring my life is and how I have no night life because I would rather be at home in bed by 11:00pm rather than be in a party with strangers, while dancing to loud music. I have nothing against night life and parties, I've just never seen it as something responsible to do. And although I do say that I would try it some day, just to have the experience and see if it was something I would like, I've never really tried it because I've never really had anyone to go with, until......

Some couple of nights ago, some group of friends of mine had come up with the suggestion of us going to a bar to take one bottle of beer each. The purpose of that outing wasn't for the alcohol but mainly because it's been a while any of us went out and that night just happened to be one of those nights where everyone was at home and in the mood for something fun.

Luckily for us, one of us had a car so all we needed was a location and it didn't take long for us to find one. On getting there at about some minutes past 11pm, that was when I discovered that most people begin their day at night. Now this was my first time experiencing the night life here and I've been in this state for more than five years now, so this whole thing was an experience for me.

Although I made sure not to mention it to any of my friends that this was my first night out because I didn't want to be seen as a novice, and I'm proud to say that I did so well that none of them did notice. Now like I said, the plan was to take just a bottle of beer and then go back home but the amount of activities going on at that place made us realize that we were only fooling ourselves if we thought we were leaving this place anytime soon.

I'm really not a fan of alcohol because I don't get the idea why anyone would enjoy drinking something so bitter and that was why I opted to take a drink with a much more better taste and lesser alcoholic percentage.

By the time we were done drinking, the time was almost 2am, so we decided it was time to leave but just as we were about leaving the table, another friend of ours had walked down from a building and invited us to come upstairs with him, apparently there was a party going on there, one that would be on till daybreak.

Usually, this was where I would be the voice of reasoning telling everyone that it's late and we need to get back home, but this was my first time ever staying out this late at a place far away from home, so I said to myself that since I was already here, I might as well have as much fun as possible.By the time we were done partying, the time was already 4am and it was obvious that we all were exhausted. We all immediately walked to my friends car and thank God we all made it back home safe.

Honestly, without a doubt that was one of my best nights ever, but it's definitely not something I see myself doing regularly or anytime soon again and that is because that life is definitely not for me.
