I was at the corner Cocktail Lounge having a drink. It was St. Patrick's Day at about 7:00 pm. I had no place else to go and was feeling down and somewhat depressed. Clark had broken up with me last week and I was in a rotten mood. My heart was broken.
I was having my third Grasshopper and joking with the bartender. He was teasing me about my green outfit. All of a sudden I began acting silly and spilled my drink. The bartender cleaned it up and I apologized to him. He was sweet and tried to make me laugh. However I was just miserable and was done joking around. An older man sat down next to me at the bar and told me I looked like a stupid leprechaun. How dare he insult me! He went on needling me until I finally lost it and screamed at him to shut up.
When I looked around everyone was having a grand old time. I decided that before I made a fool of myself or got into a fight I would go home. As I flagged down a cab, I made a vow to myself that I would never spend another
St. Patrick's Day alone again.
