endless shot night

My 22nd birthday has come and gone and I didn't even learn my lesson from the previous year. I partied like it was my 21st birthday by reliving it. I was living in parallel with the previous year. After dinner, we headed to the bar to meet my friends and the first thing people asked me was, "Can I buy you a shot?" I would like to call this night, the endless shot night. Shot after shot, I was pretty drunk in about 20 minutes and was only asking for water after that.
After the last friend arrived at the bar, we headed to the club where I lost track of what happened. A friend of mine has pictures of me on the stripper pole and told me I danced on it twice. In between asking for water, I was rushing to the bathroom to throw up. Last year, I never made it to the bathroom. I had to throw up in the casino trash cans.
When I'm drunk, I become very friendly. I was told that I kept hugging people and telling everyone how much I loved each and every one of them. I also have a tendency to keep introducing myself to people I don't know when I'm drunk and my friend J said that I introduced myself about 10 times to her boyfriend. And what made it more funny was that he introduced himself using his real name and his nickname. So I kept telling J that I'm more confused since he's using two names.
I was so wasted Friday night that when I woke up on Saturday I was still drunk. But the one thing that shocked me was when I was browsing through my camera, there was a picture of my friend Laura and me in the bathroom. She and I have the same birthday so she was probably at the club celebrating her birthday too. I haven't seen her since high school and of all the places, I see her at the club and I don't even remember it.
After the club, I needed something in my stomach to stop throwing up so we went to Fatburger and like my 21st birthday I ordered fries. Which of course, I couldn't eat anything. The lack of appetite was from throwing up so many times. After a few fries I pretty much passed out on the table. Seems like every birthday from now on I’ll pass out at restaurants. The one thing that was a big difference was that I didn’t throw up at the restaurant. I was able to make it to the bathroom this time. I’m improving each year! But overall, I had a great time and everyone said they had a great time as well. I’m glad everyone was able to make it even though a lot of my friends had to leave early due to early rising obligations. Maybe next year I won’t take a 2 week break from drinking and won't turn into a lightweight. I might have left a few things out from that night only because I don't remember. I saw a few pictures already and I don't remember them being taken. Without those pictures, I wouldn't be able to piece together the whole night. Thanks everyone! You are the best! And of course, I love you!
