I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

OK, I'm now officially expecting a shiner in the morning. Just walked my eyebrow into an open cabinet door at full on speed. Ow.

DW punched herself in the mouth tonight when a bag she was hoisting lost its handle. She had to ice it and everything. Fat lip city! Here's hoping no one thinks I did it!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

The shot was like a three for one, but I am good at shots. Ask Juliana.

However, it is cutting my night a bit short.

I prefer only scotch nights.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

It's never held much appeal for me, I think largely because I'm too much of a control freak.

billytea is me.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

largely because I'm too much of a control freak.

And for me, this is the reason I like alcohol. It lets me let go of that control impulse, even if just a bit. But it is also the reason I avoided most recreational drugs.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

It's odd to see so many people automatically associate drinking with getting drunk. I drink because I like the taste of various drinks. Getting drunk is more of a bad side effect than the desired result.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I had a margarita tonight for 3 reasons:

1. Yummy. 2. $2.99 special. C'mon! 3. Hoping it would relax me a bit and help me sleep tonight.

Numbers 1 and 2 were a grand success. I shall report back on 3 tomorrow.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

My sister and I always laugh after our check-ups. 1-2 a day? How many a week? Can I write in "Hardly ever but I'll get completely blotto once or twice a year"? That probably averages out to a drink or two a month.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I like the taste. I would still drink lots of the stuff I drink , even if there was no buzz. But if I didn't like the effects of alcohol , I wouldn't drink it.

of course, drunk has many fine shades. And due to all kinds of reasons , the same amount of alcohol hits me differently at different times.

I like when the world gets softer. I love when I lose the stiffness in my neck . I hate when I trip over my words.

And sadly, I can rarely blame bad typing on strong drink.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Yeah, I'll have a drink or two with dinner maybe once a month. Go out for a few beers once every few months. Get totally drunk maybe once or twice a year. The medical forms always ask how many per week.
