Irving Place, you're a great street. You've been around for hundreds of years and many a countryman as well as celebrity has walked your stately promenade. That said, I hope that my friends and I did not sully your esteemed reputation with our outing last night.
You see, we hadn't seen Julie in a while. She lives down in Orlando now. But since she was in town we felt a big dinner was in order, and who doesn't love sushi? Choshi is one of my favorite sushi place, so I suggested we go there. No matter that the listing on Citysearch.com said that it wasn't great for groups. Is six people considered a group?
I realize that surfacely we may have been a little off-putting, what with all the furs coats and some of the diamonds. But you don't undersand, Melissa's dad is a furrier, and he does good work. A few of the gals have bought coats from him. Another girl's dad has a jeweler in the family. Sure, we're a little bling-y at times, but need I remind you that diamonds are a girls best friend? And in some cases, heirlooms?
I realize this isn't helping the situation, especially after the volume of our conversation and some of our topics. Two girls tried to determine if they had ever hooked up with the same guy in college. Another girl admitted that at times she couldn't remember her phone number. The teenage girl at the table next to us probably got a wide glimpse at what adulthood held in store for her, much to the chagrin of her mother.
But look, we're actually very fun girls. Kooky, even. Allison and Kristen are really into football and baseball and can talk trash about teams with any guy. Melissa donated a hunk of her hair to Locks of Love. Cara and I used to routinely visit a Denny's in Syracuse and call it "The Club."
So next time you see us yapping and carrying on, be kind. We're nice girls who just really like each other's company. Sometimes we're a little loud and oblivious to the waitstaff, but in the end, you know we'll leave a good tip.
