The year-ender post!
So I have just arrived from what could be the best party I ever attended, marred only by the requisite drunken party hijinks.
It has, however, awakened some truths lying latent within me.
1. That I should continue to view life as an ongoing experience, not as something I should try to save for or to anticipate a future that is uncertain;
2. That I should not hold onto material things or be materialistic;
3. And, that I still don't drink as much as people my age usually do, because I absolutely hate the taste of alcoholic beverages... except maybe Bailey's Irish Cream and Erg (that vodka combo thing).
No, seriously. I hate drinking not because it's bad for you, but because alcoholic beverages usually taste like crap.
Anyway:
Nitramy's Party Survival Guide
a. Be courteous.
b. Make sure your sense of humor doesn't target someone in the party. But if she or he's an asshole and and absent from the party (for an example, refer to some of my previous posts), feel free to unload bullshit at her/his expense.
c. Employ the Drink Hax: drink half as fast as you usually do, and when someone asks you if you're done, say it's your next drink already. That way you get drunk in double the time.
d. Always assume BS when someone starts talking. There is a ratio between how much one has drunk and her/his honesty.
e. If and when you do get lucky, use protection, goddammit!
f. If you're hotheaded, stay silent and stay neutral.
g. Don't drink too much too quickly. If you find concentration difficult, hold off on the vino - it's not going to sprout feet and walk away from you. If it did, then you really are drunk.
Anyway, Happy New Year, stay safe, and don't be a statistic.
(P.S. I've made up my mind. Summer is Bridget season.)
(Also: I've finished one new year's resolution, and that's to have Alchemie-chan hit Level 35 at FS Philippines. My new resolutions? Gain weight, pass the Licensure Exam for Teachers, and start work on my M.A. so I can be the Guidance Counselor of Chaos.)
I can do it. In the name of Human Wisdom, sworn through the Oath of Courage, I'll get it done.
