nearly over
dear diary.
I'm finished university forever on may 7th.
That's one week on Friday.
Because I'm rather fragile as a result of being holed up in the library and avoiding smells, colour and thoughts about anythign other than Alcohol abuse, ayntactic ambiguity, child sex-abuse and various brain aphasias and memory conditions (all of which I'm crossing my fingers will come up) - I'm not really able to thin kabout grown up or real world things.
so there's a wonderful state of denial where my whole entire life is planned down to the very second between now and next friday. After that - there's nothing.
well, there's the pub. I aim to get very drunk, and then the next day, sit outside in the park on a blanket drinking water and smoking doobies and reading books that I won't be examined on.
Thought for today:
I really need to find out more about drinking patterns of asian people. a certain percentage of Asian people (50% I think) can't drink because they're liver doesn't cope with the alcohol too well. As a result - even after one pint they'll go through a flushing response - turn red and feel sick. So they have a genetic protection against alcoholism. They face the same symptpoms as alcoholics given antibuse in treatment that stop them drinking (although that's a bit fuzzy because I learn it today). But, alcoholics can get over that. Evne though they're given this drug which makes them very sick if they touch alcohol - they can persevere through it (or drink a pint of vinegar which sorts it all out and lets them drink). Thing is - number of alcoholics in China and Japan is increasing as things get westernised and a drinking culture develops. Weird, right? That a lot of people would drink heavily even though it makes them very sick?
Well, native Americans and Eskimos have the same problem - and a similar flushing response to alcohol - but they have extremely high rates of alcoholism.
It's a conundrum. Why are people so enamoured with alcohol that they drink through an embrassing and uncomfortable reaction to it?
I'm talking shite.
