I'm Jones, Bridget Jones

The past few days have seriously been the best since I arrived here in Bulgaria. The weather is turning around and especially today, I am so thankful to be in Europe.  Thursday night we went out, of course, partially because it's Thursday and partially because it was half-price drinks at three clubs/bars/restaurants. So, you yell half-price anything and everyone comes running, especially if it's alcohol (but it is Europe so...). I started the evening with Mary, Sabine, Keegan, Christian, and Alex and we went to All-Star Pub. It was really great-good company, good conversation. But the reason for this posts comes now. I couldn't resist sharing this because it's hilarious. 

We were walking to Club Bacardi, where we spent the rest of the night dancing to "retro" music, a.k.a. a mix of 90s and today, and as we were walking, I started talking in my British accent. If you know me, it's pretty often when I break into an accent, and of course then seemed like the opportune moment. So I'm talking like I'm a Brit and Mary brings up the topic of alter egos. And who do they dub me as? 

Bridget Jones.

It is ironic yet completely perfect at the same time. I look pretty similar to Renee Zellweger (I've been complimented before on this subject), I act like Bridget Jones with the awkward speeches and humor and I talk way too much sometimes. And I love the fact that she wears granny panties. The difference is this is all when I'm sober. It's funny because she's a heavy drinker, a smoker, and quite a vulgar lady, none of which are really me. So as we walked across the square, the Bridget attitude start to come out and it was kind of freeing (also because my friends said they would blame anything I did on Bridget). 

Here is a clip more of the hilarious awkwardness of Bridget Jones.
Awesome right?
So even though I didn't channel my Bridget Jones too much Thursday night, I feel that Bridget is going to come out eventually. I'll probably be sober, but the good thing (besides everyone else being pretty drunk) is that I just won't care at the point. I mean, What would Bridget Jones do?
