That totally did it!

Sparky's very smart. Hooray for lovely money!

How long do I have to wait before it's not too early for a drink? And do I start with wine or some sort of cherry vodka based cocktail? Or that beer that I opened on Saturday?

After noon, so you're all good.

This. This sounds very yummy.

Someone please give me a sanity check and/or tell me I'm turning into an elitist gothy snob. I'm browsing for clothing (for the big gothy event in May), and when I find things I kinda like, I find myself thinking "But I know that all the other Victorian goth girls will have that, too!"

(Yes, I know. I'm rolling my eyes at me, too.)

Earliest I ever started drinking was 11:30am. A friend of mine (heavy drinker and proud of it) once cracked a beer about 10:30am. And the guys who lived across the street in college frequently would start drinking at 9:30am or earlier.

Actually, that's probably a pretty decent sliding scale.
