On the way back to my apartment, I ran into Lauren Flax on Avenue B and ended up going to some bar with her right around the corner from my place and watched her shotgun beers.
So check this - I'm at Piano's on Monday night. It's like 3am. I walk past this super cute girl on the dancefloor while looking for one of my friends. Two minutes later, as I'm trying to squeeze back through the crowd , the girl on the left in the pic above (later I find out her name is Lauren) shoves her friend (the cute girl, whose name I later find out is Tara) into me. Tara, who's now leaning back on my chest, turns around and looks at me and says "hi." Lauren starts cracking up. So I say to Lauren:
"So is that your smooth way of introducing us?" Lauren: "No, it's my not-so-smooth way of getting you two to MAKEOUT!!" Me: "Holy shit, huh?" Lauren: "Here's the deal: I'm a big lesbian and this is my roommate. I kissed her and she's the worst kisser ever. She says it's because she was drunk, but I don't believe her and I refuse to kiss her again. So now you have to kiss her and tell me if she's a bad kisser." Me (in disbelief, pointing to Tara): "You want me to kiss, um, her?" Lauren: "Yes." Me: (looks at Tara). Tara: (Smiles, nods and points to her mouth).
So, I smooched her. Add it to the list of "Top Ten Best Random Things Ever to Happen To Me in NYC."
