SO YOU JUST MOVED TO NEWPORT BEACH PARADISE.
AND YOUR PARENTS ARE LIKE “WHAT DO YOU DO ON THE WEEKENDS”
When someone asks if you’re planning on moving your car
You never get tired of the bars, because every weekend you’re like
WHEN SOMEONE PROPOSES A NIGHT IN HUNTINGTON
When you wake up in Costa Mesa after a night at Rudys
When you find out your crazy cop calling neighbors are out of town for the weekend
When you learn how to cut off the tourists by taking the alleys
But when you DO find parking right away you’re like
YOU THINK YOU FOUND PARKING, BUT THERE’S SOME DUDE SAVING THE SPOT
And you hear someone say there’s snow on 35th
You get home when your roommate had the day off
Trying to leave the peninsula is a nightmare
When the tourists move in and the bars become Vegas clubs.
THE NIGHT BEFORE JULY 4
When your roommate asks if they should throw a party this weekend
When Facebook pics start getting posted
When you walk into your livingroom after a house party
When the lights go on at the Alley.
When Derek lets you cut the line at Malarkys
When you get invited to like, four parties all at once.
WHEN YOU REALIZE IT’S ALMOST FOURTH OF JULY
WHEN YOU’RE PARKED IN THE ALLY UNLOADING YOUR CAR AND YOU SEE A CAR PULL IN BEHIND YOU
WHEN THE NEIGHBORS TELL YOU THEY’RE GOING TO CALL THE COPS
When the cops come by for the second time and ask why you’re still there
When you forget you parked in a meter and walk to your car in the morning
When a friend is in town and asked how you found parking so fast
When the bouncer won’t let you inside because the bar is “at capacity”
When you’re asked if you ever plan on living off the peninsula
How you feel Monday morning
How You Felt THe Sunday before.
When you get let in through the back entrance at Blue Beat
When you’re forced to wait in line at the bars
WHEN YOU SPOT A CUTE AUSSIE AT THE BARS
When your roommate tells you they were special cupcakes
Walking home after a good night at the bars
When you read your texts from the night before
When you take a bong rip before going to the bars
When someone says they are going to a party off the peninsula
j-walking in Newport
When you leave the peninsula for the first time in weeks
When it’s a 45 minute wait at Laventinas
When you say hi to someone in the Locale group
WHEN YOU DECIDE TO TAKE A TAXI INSTEAD OF WALKING
If you get to El Ranchito a second too late on Taco Tuesday
When you realize you accidently made out with your crush’s roommate
When I walk into Cassidy’s
When you have to make the walk of shame after an intense night
Trying to find my friends at Woody’s
Tourists walking around with their families
When you see the sticker lady at Rudys
Friday night prayers
HOW YOU FEEL AT THE THOUGHT OF MEMORIAL WEEKEND FESTIVITIES
When you see your friends already have a table at Mutts on Sunday morning
When you score a house with a washer and dryer
When you realize your bike lock got cut in the middle of the night
HOW YOU FEEL WHEN IT’S 2 AM AT THE DONUT SHOP
]How you feel every time you’re telling the Pavillions people what you want on your sandwich
When you pose for a picture at the Wedge
How you feel when you’re walking on the boardwalk during summertime
When a friend invites you to a bar crawl….in CDM
LET’S BE REAL…WHEN WE SEE TOURISTS WE REALLY WISH WE COULD SAY…
When the server at Alta apologizes for the long wait you are really like..
When you need hot sauce at Alta and ask the barista to bring it to you
How you feel when the people at Alta tell you to put your cell phone away
WHEN YOU’RE SOBER AND GETTING HIT ON AT THE BARS
Filed under asitisinnewport gifs funny gifs the alley oc orange countynewport beach nb alcohol strong drink chaser please
WHEN YOU SEE SOMEONE NOT CLEANING UP AFTER THEIR DOG ON THE BOARDWALK
WHEN THE PARTY ISN’T AT YOUR HOUSE ON THE FOURTH
WHEN YOUR PARENTS ASK YOU YOUR PLANS FOR FOURTH OF JULY
WHEN SOMEONE CUTS YOU IN LINE AT PAVILIONS
If you’re alone and feeling classy you’re like…
But if you”re with friends you’re like…
Either way, what you really want to do is…
WHEN YOU GET “THE NOTICE” FOR FOURTH OF JULY PARTY REGULATIONS
When you decide to “not have a party” at your place…and then come home that night
SINCERELY, LIZ B
