Last Sunday I was feeling a little down. I was supposed to go see the Mall Cop movie with a bunch of strangers/movie buffs from this social website around 6:45ish. I almost didn’t go but with only a few minutes to spare, I hopped in the shower and made it in the theatre just as the movie was starting. My new buddies had saved me a seat, which was a great thing since the theatre was full!
After the movie we decided to go out for drinks. I almost bowed out of that but I said to myself what can it hurt. I am very glad I went because it turned out to be a very interesting night!
There were 4 of us ladies and 2 guys. One of the ladies had an interesting job working for the Catholic Church and somehow the conversation ended up being about female genital mutilation and the risks involved, how some people didn’t know that baby boy’s balls don’t always drop themselves and if they don’t have proper health care the balls will never drop. The two men said theirs had dropped so they were in danger. We talked about tattoos since one of the girls had a tattoo of a wolf on her arm and she said she had 8 total, one her boob. She told us about a guy who had a tattoo on his penis (!) and it said “Watch me grow!” Then this guy volunteered to say he had seen a vagina that was tattooed to look like a cat’s mouth with the hair and the teeth, then he proceeded to be embarrassed and turn beet red when he realized he’s just admitted to watching porn! Which provided a good segue for one of the ladies to ask if a guy looks at gay porn are they gay? And we concurred that they either are or are interested in being gay to which she said her dad has been buying a lot of gay porn(!).
How that got into zoo animals I can’t even remember. But this guy told us he worked for a shelter for abused and confisticated zoo animals. He told us it’s unbelievable the cruel treatment these animals are subjected to, from beatings to starvation to get them to perform in the circus to the many surgeries this one elephant was subjected to in order to conceive.
The evening ended with a high note with a few people(myself included) saying they want to check out the unborn and then one of the guys told us about a club that has some live bands that we will check out one of this Fridays.
I am so looking forward to meeting up with my movie buddies. This weekend is not happening but now I know I don’t ever have to see a movie alone! I know at least 5 people who would see it with me!
