Ninty-Nine Bottles Of Beer On The Wall....

Tonight I consumed more alcohol than I ever have in my entire life. I really don't know if it was the taste that I liked (generally, it's made me rather sick) or just me trying to prove that I could take it as well as anyone else. Truthfully, all I really feel right now is dizzy. REALLY dizzy. I had a Pina Colata (REALLY good, I might add) a little rum and coke, about 12oz of wine, and a strawberry daqueri.
Yes, for me, drinking is technically illegal. But I don't agree with that. And while one should really abide the law regardless of what one thinks of it... In a sense, yes, I have done something wrong, and would not be surprised if I confessed it the next time I go. But I believe the reason America had the trouble with alcohol that it has is at least partially due to this inane age restriction. You'll notice Europe doesn't have the alcoholism America has. Anyways, though, this was really my first encounter with hard liquor, and I fear I'll regret it in the morning, which is why I borrowed 2 tylonol from Becky.

In other news, I got up at 12 after going to bed at 2, giving me 10hrs of sleep. I then got up, checked my mail, and had lunch, which was more or less breakfast. I had intended on playing Diablo and/or watching more Trigun today, but ended up going to Blockbuster with Becky this afternoon. We picked up Chasing Amy, which we had meant to watch tonight, but stayed over at Michele's watching Gladiator and drinking. My friend, Jack, who plans on becomming a priest, is the one who got us involved, which is in itself humorous. If he makes it through seminary, though, Jack will be a good priest. I dare say he's more Catholic than I am.

Before going out with Becky I talked with my mom online, which was cool. She's not all that concerned with the fact that I bombed a Calc test, which really takes a load off my shoulders. They're too cool, my parents - they don't know how good they are to me. My mom told me that Jen had really been taken with Claire, and really thought I was serious about this one, where as my gramma liked Claire emensly, but was sure that i wasn't going to get too involved too quickly. My mom assured me that she knew the reality of it lay somewhere inbetween.

I should really like to get together with Jack and Becky, and Brooklyn (Michelle) and all them more often, not because of the alcohol, but because I really should have good friends on campus. Tonight was a good night. Regardless of when I get up, I'm sure tomarrow will be an early morning, and I hope to get to gramma's for Super Bowl. Good night, my friends, and I shall see you on the morrow.

Half-Time Highlights

Yesterday morning, on a whim, I decided to clean up the mess around my desk. You know, go through those papers and throw the trash away, pick up my boks and clothes and stuff - I even did LAUNDRY yesterday (even if I DID forget about it until this morning....). Be amazed. It's actually ironic because John's parents came by yesterday, and the last time they had visited, I deigned it appropriot to straighten some - for John's sake, I suppose. This was not the case, however - I just felt up for cleaning. Weird.
Anyways, I was chatting idly with his mom and she asked me how I've been, and when I said busy she made a comment on how I didn't even have time to get my clothes picked up - refering to the pair of jeans and sweatshirt still sitting by my chair. Now, she's a nice lady and means well, but dam nit, it's my room, I'll leave it as I please. And frankly, I can find my clothes easier when they're laying on and around my chair. ^_^;;

When me and Becky went out to Blockbuster yesterday, she was in the mood for a chickflick, I was more in for a comedy, and rather wanted a Kevin Smith movie. That's how we came to choosing Chasing Amy. I think we'll watch it tonight, after I get back from gramma's.

Later that night, after, uhm, a few drinks, I was reaching over Becky to give Katie a cookie, and the next thing I knew, everyone (including me) was laughing and I was in Becky's lap. I suppose I was a little dizzy about then, and I'll admit I wasn't my calmest, but I laugh like that sober, too - ask Leslie.

I got up this morning at about 9:00, or 9:30, and while I did have the slightest of headaches, it was gone before about 10:45. I went to 11:00 mass, and plan on getting over to Gramma's after I grab some $$$ for gas. Of course, I'm not sure if the Super Bowl Party (assuming there is one) is at Gramma's or Uncle Tony's. To MapQuest! ^____^

**On a random side note, this song is by Meredith Brooks. My cousin Meredith often goes by "Mere" (pronouced 'Mare'). So, this artist could be called "Mere Brooks." Hee hee, to get this joke, though, you would have to understand my sense of humor. Hee hee.**
