Somewhere back in the first or second year of medical school, a few of us ladies, unhappy with the state of our dating lives, decided to start the Single Girls Club. It was origianlly comprised of myself, my friend Tessa and another classmate, Kate. Well, when I mentioned name of the club, they seemed all excited an ready to take it on, but I don't think they really thougth I was serious. Kate kind of dropped off, and Tessa was still on board, an we were able to recruit my friends Erin and Danielle shortly thereafter. There were no rules, no official membership, no real agenda.
We all met up at a local bar, talked about our love lives, or lack thereof. Wings, onion rings and beer were the fare for the night, and so began our tradition of wings, 'rings and beer for every meeting. Erin has the wimpy palate so she gets 'em naked (the wings). No sauce for her. Danielle and I are a bit more daring, so we generally get the hot. Just the way we like our guys...HOT and NAKED!!! Notice no mention of our dear friend Tessa in all of this. Yes, well, Tessa missed enough meetings (she really only came to the first) that the other three of us decided..."Thanks for playing, you can apply again later." Not sure what our rule is on attendance or reinstatement for that matter. We pretty much make it up as we go along.
The next rule came when our the lovely Danielle began dating a man that we dubbed "Pizza Boy." She should have been studying pathology, but instead she was taking an extended study break, a.k.a. procrastinating, at one of the local pizza joints. Started chatting with Pizza Boy and next thing we know, she going to the movies, out to dinner, getting a little somethin' somethin', yada, yada, yada...HMMMM. So, if you are dating, are you allowed to still be part of the SGC??? It IS the SINGLE Girls Club, afterall. Well, Erin and I debated about this and before we could make a decision, Danielle took initiative. Just like a good club member should, she wrote us a letter of why she should be allowed to remain a part of the SGC. Or maybe that letter came when she was dating Priest Boy...She sent the poor man to the priesthood. He's out now. Anyway, she wrote us a lovely "reasons why she should be allowed to remain in the SGC, even though she wasnt single" letter. Erin and I read it, thought about it and without too much resistance, decided to keep Danielle. Besides, its not much of a club with only two members.
So, as I see it, the real stick to it, follow through founding members of the SGC are Erin, Danielle and myself. Here we are:
Rule #3 One who is not single may become an honorary member if we like you enough to want to drink beer with you and share our wings and 'rings. We have had many occassions where our married, happily dating and unhappily married friends have joined us. It makes for a nice break from our usual boy stories and med school gossip. Actually, it usually adds to the med school gossip, but gives us some good perspective on how the in love people live.
Well, that the intro to the SGC. I hope to get Erin and Danielle to add to this. So if you are single and looking for a good woman, we have three right here for you.
Erin- Athletic, participates in triathlons and will be completing a marathon in the spring with Team in Training. She wants to be an OB/GYN shen she grows up.
Danielle- Athletic. Was a collegiate softball player. Comes from a great Italian family and can make a mean pot of gravy. (that means red sauce or spaghetti sauce). She wants to be a Pediatrician when she grows up.
Tamieka- Athletic. Has done amatuer boxing and played rugby at SUNY Buffalo. Enjoys the adventurous life like motorcycle riding, being a pilot, and scuba diving. She wants to be a Family Physician when she grows up.
So here's a short, but not all inclusive listing of some people that have been able to enjoy some SGC time.
Potential Members- (not sure how we make them official members) Cristin, Rena, Ivy
Honorary members (and reason why they are honorary)- Laura (married), Alex (has a penis), Lorna (married)
