My friends and I have done some crazy things partying in Knoxville so
when I saw this opportunity from Knoxville520.com to share them with
you, I got excited! I really hope you'll enjoy the stories that I'll
share over the next 4 weeks (assuming you don't vote me out). Some of
the stories will be pretty
crazy, others will be hilariously funny, and a few of them will (more
than likely) be just plain stupid. But all of them, I can assure you,
will be totally true!
The first story I want to share with you is the celebration of my
entrance into (legally) partying, my 21st birthday. The evening got
so crazy it was eventually dubbed by many of my friends as the second
Mardi Gras!
We hung out at the Downtown for a while longer, but the band was
terrible this night, so we decided to hit up Hannah's next.
Unfortunately, most of Hannah's was a blur to me, but I do recall that
my best friend "E", and I found "boyfriends" for the night.
We took our boyfriends upstairs and danced for a while to the R & B
that was playing and continued to drink. Some time later, E's sister
found me on a couch in Hannah's and asked me why I was sitting alone.
I told her that I was waiting on my boyfriend for the night to bring
me a Long Island Tea. In my inebriated state this all seemed good and
well, but looking back I've wondered two things. Why did I have a
birthday boyfriend and why was he was bringing me another Long Island
Tea.
By this point in time, I had already consumed four marguerites, three
Long Island Teas, and four Bahama Mama's. We partied hard and we
partied for a long time, but after that night, I pledged to never
again drink another Bahama Mama or Long Island Tea.
