I like the occasional drink, to put it mildly. My habit has rewarded me with a liver that has the strength of ten men, and the look and feel of a slug when you’ve poured salt over it (I imagine). I justify this naughty habit because I don’t smoke or experiment with any drugs, and I try to exercise regularly/ when I can be bothered.
However, this weekend, at Infernos in Clapham, I overdid it. Not just a little bit, quite a lot. Me and two friends had been separated in the crowd from a larger birthday party and were sitting on some sofas resting our poor feet for a bit. That’s what I remember.
What I do not remember, is leaving my two friends seated whilst I got up and proceeded to dance as wildly as I could, all on my own, whilst absolutely crucifying Total Eclipse Of The Heart. I’m partial to a little boogey after a bevvy, but usually it’s that awkward two-step dancing in a circle of friends. Not full-on throwing shapes on my own and screaming.
Apparently a group of people who were also having a sit-down were absolutely aghast at this random woman attempting to exhaust herself to death with ‘dancing’ and ‘singing’, and my two friends were, ahem, somewhat embarrassed.
When I woke up the next day (with a hangover the size of Russia) I didn’t believe this tale of events, until I saw the evidence. Apparently, exhaustion was starting to set in so this is right at the end of some seriously graceless and unflattering moves, and as soon as I realised I was being filmed sensibility kicked in.
Thankfully, the quality is very poor. But I don’t believe in ‘untagging’ photos and videos, because then you don’t LEARN anything. So here you have it. My apologies.
Outstanding!
Thank you. That person laughing like an old witch at the start is Emily :)
Ahhh… We really must arrange a night out you know? Though perhaps not at Infernos as I’m sure I’m too old for that place now!
I’d like to confirm that this is 100% accurate. If I wasn’t concentrating so hard on not being sick with laughter (and, er, two bottles of wine) I would have died of embarrassment.
