Wow. Someone just called and asked me if I want to get drunk with him.
Dude. Dude! Dude. Where do I even begin.
We spent about 15 hours together, you're 20 something years older than me, we're into very different life patterns, and even if we got along somewhat nicely then, that's really... I mean... what? I mentioned once, twice or fifteen times that I don't drink alcohol (with the exception of two drinks every 15 months or so, when I'm among dear dear friends and I forget how bad my body detests that shit). So... how many numbers you've dialed before mine?
So no, I won't get out and get drunk with you. The Willow in me is also very amused and almost flattered by the invitation. I do hope you'll get your shit together on someone else's shoulder (or someone's other body part that might actually be into this kind of activity with you).
But Dude. Dude. Dude. That's not the way to go with me.
Edit: for the record: I have no doubt the man meant well. I have every doubt that that kind of invitation would ever work on me to get out and get drunk.
how many numbers you've dialed before mine?
oh wow that is so astute. I wish I'd had you in my head when I was in my twenties.

I didn't say it to him. Just understood it in my head during the talk. I was very kind, and emailed another guy both of us know to call him and check up on him.
A small part of me wishes I could be naive and pretend and take these kind of invitations at face value. I am in my 20s, and as far as I remember, I declined these kind of offers. I guess I'm a cold bitch, what can I say. I know where this kind of spontaneity leads, and it ain't pretty.
I was always all, "ooh, someone is paying attention to me!"
The small part of me which melted to think someone's actually calling to ask me that and thinks we'll be able to make our way out of it undamaged got very excited, I won't lie.
Luckily, it's a small, small, small part. I really do wish I could live in this kind of world. But we don't.
I'm glad you know your limits, Shir.
I fear I know reality's limits better than I know my own.
Well, expect for the almost completely lack of my body to consume alcohol. That is something very realistic, to me.
I get to go to my sister's school tomorrow and help out with science experiments. I'm also expected to dress up like a "science fairy" and I'm sad because I left my wings behind when I moved. But still, science!
As of this moment, I have upgraded from lurker to poster! Oy, I've been so far behind. I miss my peeps!
First, {{{{{ Jilli }}}}} I echo what's been said above.

Seska, it is great you can bring good news to the board. Congrats on the fabulous news!
um. wow. far too much to even try and Meara. Christmas break was nice and calm, but this quarter has all but knocked the wind out of me. Oy. So, while I am caught up, I wave hi! Now I gotta catch up in the other threads.
