I don't drink alcohol and can't stand being with people that are drunk. It's like sitting with an effin' idiot. I don't mind people that drink if they can control themselves, but man drunks get on my nerves...
After a day to chill and think over things, I can definitely say that it was absolutely pathetic what I did. I'm a little pissed that my roommate ditched me since he knows how big of a gator fan I am and the fact that I've watched after his drunk-ass more times than I can count. However, I know this wasn't as bad as it could have been and I'm greatful for that. There will be more great games this season since we are still winning. It was just a huge bummer since I had been looking forward to this game all summer and now all I have to show for it is 7 dollars, even though tickets were being scalped for 100+ dollars...I hope whoever I sold the ticket to enjoyed the game . I also think I am going to take about a month break from drinking and concentrate much harder on my studies for now. I need to make my final push to try to get into the UF law school. There are just more important things I need to concentrate on right now then going out and drinking; if anything, this weekend has taught me that.
that's what i was gonna say. your story just sounds like normal college drunken-debauchery.... and hilarity! tailgating is the **** and it sounds like you did it the right way (or at least the way we always did it).
That was one gross drinking story. (especially since the girl was too drunk to even mind - funny ) About the other stuff: sorry, doesn't sound like a fun situation. I would say to forget about her, but the pot would be calling the kettle black. I'm terrible about getting hung up on people and not being able to move on. I wonder if all those things like love, relationships, and the human heart exist just to make us miserable. All I can say is to keep an open mind for other good girls in your life, and to stay away from the cheap one-night stands because (at least it seems like) they would only make you feel worse in the end. Not sure what my low point is. Sometimes it feels like now. If so, I hope I can get past it. There have been a few this year (stress overload, getting in trouble at work, a couple of rejections of sorts even though they were for a good reason, realizing what I really wanted but couldn't have and watching it slip away...). Fall of 2003 was the other low point (my dad died, that was the really bad part, but also realizing the person I married wasn't pulling his weight and never would). Oh well. We all keep going and keep trying... I hope things get better for you.
I don't know about getting wasted, but drinking is fun. I like it so much that I made my own bar in my backyard and my family brews their own beer. Own Friday night I get to forget about my worries from 8-2 or so. We drink and we talk and we laugh and laugh. We do all kinds of crazy stuff. It's great. It helps to have very funny, creative friends who do not get insulted easily.
Franchise3 has just made a very good case for why not to get "wasted". I was never a drinker either. (Though maybe I should start...) You know what they say: go ahead and drink if you can't figure out how to have a good time any other way... (or go ahead and drink because you can't figure out how to do stupid things any other way...)
I couldn't help but notice your mention of "stress overload." You can try what I use: Stress Relief Pugs
Isabel, thanks for the insight. Sometime, I too have the same thoughs as you do on if true love and relationships reallly exist. Now more then ever in fact. My parents, happily married for 25 years, are splitting up....a move that shocked me. They've had arguemnts/fights before but always worked it out for family's sake. I dont mind them seperating....if that's what makes them happy, I'm all fort it. But what bothers me is that my little brother is a special needs child who needs the love and affection of both parents. It doesnt seem like he'll get that now. Point is, if there was one example that proved the existence of true love in this world, it was my parents marriage. They had there usual ups and downs, but he, what couple doesnt? If things are too perfect, one partner will begin to complain that the relationship is getting boring and stale. But now, this family is shattered. This makes me belove that true love doesnt really exist. As for you advice, I'm the most open-minded person you might ever might. I'm always open to meeting new people, trying new ideas, etc....The poeple I've met just never realy worked. Classic "circle in square peg" situation. But me, I wont stop. Mingling is my thing....it will lead me somewhere I want to go sooner or later. As for what your going through, your low point....I feel for you. I can only hope things will go up form here for you. There comes a time where we all hit "rock bottom." Me and you.....we've been at a low point for so long, it screams hitting "rock bottom." But the good thing about this is there is only one direction to go from here....UP. Brush aside the negative...as tough as that is to do (I should know), clean your slate. Think positive always....good things happen to all of us anytime. Its bound to happen for both me and you too. Good luck, you will be in my prayers.
I've lost two really nice articles of clothing this past year as a result of drinking! One was a nice button up shirt and the other was my fleece jacket.
my roomate fell asleep with his head in the toilet. My other roomate wakes up and needs to take a pee pee. So He goes into the bathroom, lifts his head up, goes pee pee, and then put his head back in the toilet. I thought that was pretty funny. I had one friend who was smart enough not to drink and drive, so he rode a wobbly bike three miles at 1am to get to the next bar safely, and drink more. One friend said he was ok to drive, he reaches for the car door, snow falling, I look back, he's in the snow head first. Yeah, he was ok.
You and everyone still have their health, so it's not that bad. You friend should be commended for taking the keys. Everybody that drinks, eventually has a blackout. Learn from it and don't get depressed.
I've lost a shirt as well at Oktoberfest last year. I had a tank top, a long sleeve shirt and my North Face jacket and the shirt didn't make it back with me. It was my first time to wear it too!
Oh, this is surely not my first time blacking out. And the reason he tooks the keys was so that he could get back into the apartment, not for my safety. We had been walking around the entire day since our apartment is so close to campus and the stadium.
