The Yawns
Everyone has felt that old feeling. Everyone is going out, they’re having pre-drinks (normally some cheap wine) and music is pumping out from under their doors. You feel lazy and lethargic. Going out is not high on your agenda and you would rather be curled up in bed with Milo watching Entourage. But there is always one friend that changes that. My particular special munchkin likes to bang my door open, rip my duvet off me and push a wine goblet into my hands while she yells: “do that thing! Do that thing!” This means that she wants me up and dressed to go to Rat with her. I can never say no to this person because it is a futile action so I do as I am told. By the time we are at Rat, I can feel a yawn coming on. I think about what episode I am going to watch later or if I will buy a Kit Kat or a TV Bar from the vending machine. This type of mood is a problem because the worst thing you can do is try to have fun when all you feel like is hitting Club Duvet with DJ Pillow. How I Met Your Mother has a great piece of advice: “Nothing good happens after 2AM.” Therefore do not swap slippers for heels when you have the yawns. Rather stay in and watch something fun instead.
