Ah, it’s good to see everyone else is having a good time, while I’m here all by myself on a beautiful, warm Friday night after getting ditched by the Big Man so he could go out for a night of football and beers with his buddies. Not that I’m bitter or anything. Oh no, not at all! (Sorry, didn’t mean to be a wet blanket on the party. Or maybe I did. Maybe I’m a vindictive bag after all! Woo hoo! I’m so bad! And I don’t have much clothes on, either!)

It’s approx 1:25 Local here, and I just got home. . .

Tonight was a “light” one for me. I was driving, so I only had six or so in a couple hours. . .

I seem to be still in one piece (no broken bones or anything), and nobody seems to be pounding at my door. Must have been a relatively normal or even a completely boring night. . .

We’ll find out 4 hours from now just how boring it was. . .

It’s actually _my_ drink, but I’m willing to share. 😉

Demo and I **will** get fucked up together someday. 'Cept I don’t think I can make it to LA. Still hoping though.

3:24 am. Still sober. Not a pretty sight.

Around 20 hours and 35 minutes until my 40th birthday. I need a drink _now_, damnit!

Approx. 2:40am and I haven’t been sober for three days. Imagine that.

Happy Birthday, Tenar.

Oh. My head. Mommy.

Thank god I only posted a few times last night. Once I woke up this morning I had to check to make sure I didn’t poster some Homeresque dissertation on flying turtles and the nice smell of wax paper on humid monday afternoons in Antarctica.  
Happy birthday **Tenar**.

Well, the only good activity after a day of drinking…is to go to a brewery! Woooo!

I’m heading up to Fort Collins, to visit the New Belgium Brewing Co. My brain thanks you for speaking quietly.

I’ll do whatever I can to help make **zyzzyva** cool, but I’ve got to admit–I only ride to the bar so that I don’t drive drunk! (Plus, okay, around here it _is_ cool to ride your bike to the bar an I’ll I wants to do is be cool in fit in!)

Shoulda seen me last night. I couldn’t have handled a computer if it jumped at me from the bar. 😉

Demo: we’ll down a few SoCo’s in Cali. Deal. 😃

Yeehaw!

I am just envisioning my suitcase getting heavier and heavier…

Oh screw it, who needs clothes anyway? I’m just bringing liquor! 😃
