Sweet Catastrophe

I’m pretty sure that’s an oxymoron….but hangover is definitely the word of the day! Last night was a good friend’s 21st Birthday so I went out with him and some other friends after work to Cj’s for a few drinks then back to their apartment for Super Smash Bros and Guitar Hero…and more alcohol.

It’s been a while since I’ve been able to let loose comfortably. I hadn’t planned on really drinking, but Levi wouldn’t have a Birthday shot alone, so I bought us both one, and a drink for myself ’cause…well why not? lol

We left the bar a lot earlier than I thought we were going to, so I felt a little cheated considering what I had just spent on drinks for a mild buzz! Anyway, we settled in and since I hadn’t eaten since lunch, I decided I either needed a cheeseburger, or more alcohol. The decision was made for me, so Catie rode with me back to my apartment to pick up some Golden Grain and dump my car. (Ryan dropped us back off and picked me up later, when I was done getting my drink on.) The rest is pretty much history.

Lessons learned:

• Let someone more sober add the ingredients for your mixed drink or you’ll end up with about twice as much alcohol as intended.
• Your sober boyfriend knows what he’s talking about.
• Drunken conversations about Mitch Hedberg are tons of fun!

(Disclaimer: I drank in moderation. Today’s hangover is not an indication of drinking too much last night, but of eating too little yesterday. I don’t get hangovers. This is probably only my 3rd ever.)

Now I leave you with Pearl, as she’s been on my mind today. You remember Pearl, right?
