So there's these two ducks....

[jackofallgeeks]

Aaron had invited me over to his place tonight because he was having 'some of the guys' over and we were going t'have some drinks. Yes, another drinking story. Apparently, aaron wasnted to get 'fucked up' (or wasted, if you will... ^_^;;). anyways, I wasn't going to go - for whatever reason - until I had dinner with Becky and Brooklyn and they talked me into it (my one weakness...).

So at about nine o'clock we go over there, and aaron's friends hadn't shown up yet (he was surprised we were so early) and so we all decide to order a pizza or two - I end up paying $10 out of pocket, but I ate nearly a pizza myself, so it's all good.

Then Aaron's friends (and the pizza) showed up - Cameron, Marshall (?), Jorge, and Chandra (I want to say - she was a cute little blonde girl with a unique name. More later). So Camron remembers me as the guy they played D&D with, the other three were new to me. But, for some reason, everyone finds it amusing to pump alcohol into me, and I became the center of entertainment (to an extent) as they handed me a beer (blech) a mixed drink (almost as bad) and a shot of red-stuff. After I'd downed the red stuff, they informed me that it was 40-proof O.o I ended up having another 3 or 4 shots of that through the night, but it was Chandra's fault.

I quickly took up a post after the first shot on a stool by the pizza. I was hungry anyways, and I'd heard food's a good thing to have when drinking. I also laid claim to the Coke, as well, to wash down that horrid alcohol taste. ><* Chandra was pregnant, so she wasn't drinking, and helped me with the Coke. She and I were talking ALL night while the others sat on the other side of the bar in the livingroom. I don't know what we talked about (drinking - she was only 20 and had started at 17; religion - surprised?; computers; just random stuff).

Her brother-in-law was Jorge, and he was intent on giving me a shot every 20min. Chandra took me under her wing and told him she'd make sure I'd had my drink. And she did, though she exagerated exactly how much I'd had and helped me pour a shot or two down the sink and helped me stave off the Illness of drinking. I thanked her for that, but not near as much as I felt. Even with that though, she did make me drink. ><* At one point she gave me a double shot and was intent on having me drink it. She talked me into it (my weakness...) and that was the one time I felt I was going to be sick - mostly cause she and Jorge were talking about it, I think. I went in the bathroom, took my shirt off, and spit a little, and I was OK.

I got her e-mail addy (one of which is 'mommachan' I find that...humorous) and plan on keeping in touch with her. She was nice. And cute. And though there's that whole 'husband' / 'fiance' thing, she'd be a great girl to talk with in either case - she said she likes arguing when I told her I have a way of getting into religios discussions.... ^_^

Becky and Cameron hit it off quite well nearing the end of the night and are currently sharing a bed in Aaron's appartment. I'll imagine they're sharing it in a nice, innocent, 'fell asleep on the couch', Christian way, but with those two....I have a very active imagination. ^_^;;

Me and Aaron got to play a game on PS2 - Grand Dynasty or something, which was flipping awsome. The dude with the claws, all the way! I'm gonna have to get over to his place more often, and if we could get that group (Me,, him, Chandra, Marshall, Jorge, Cameron, Becky, Brooklyn, and Katie) together again, and often, it'd be super cool. ^_^

But, it's 3am, and I should really get up tomarrow at 10:00. Or 10:30 at the latest. i'm going to mass at 11:00, and schedualed for work at 11:30, but they won't see me till a little after 12:00. I'll be a little late. *shrug* So what.

But now I sleep, and am in quite a good mood. Only some of which could be alcohol-induced. ^_^;; G'night.

Drinking tip #1...

[serenabuny.livejournal.com]

Yepp yep, eat lots of bread or other solid food while drinking. It takes more time for the alcohol to get to your brain, ne? And here's a little rhyme to keep down the sickness. Liquor before beer you're in the clear, beer before liquor you'll feel sicker. Jen taught me that one after I downed 3 wine coolers and then had a kamikaze. I felt sooo sick... Hope your hangover was minimal this morning. Drink lots of water ^_^...
