Seriously, body? Serious?
I've had ten shots of Goldschläger and two beers, yet I'm still no more than barely buzzed. If even that. No, really. Ten shots. (Shut up, 
pocketmouse. The reason for spending $2 to buy shot glasses is so that I can actually judge how much I've had rather than saying: "Well, I poured myself a small glass of [insert alcohol here]. And then I drank three of those glasses." It's kind of hard to judge how much you've had to drink when you don't actually know how large the glass you're drinking out of is.)
Seriously, this stuff is 87 proof. That's even more alcoholic than Jack Daniels, which is only 80 proof. (Well, the regular Jack at least. The Single Barrel that I got as a Christmas present is actually 94 proof, but I'm saving that for a special occasion.) I should be feeling something by this point, shouldn't I?
Sometimes I wonder why I even bother trying. :-/
(Also, I kind of wonder how those of you who tried to out-drink me at Club Vivid that one year didn't end up with alcohol poisoning. I expect it's one of those miracles that's best left unexplained.)
Changing subjects somewhat, it looks as if - for the time being, at least - I'm going to be posting mainly on the weekends. I'm still keeping up with LiveJournal and Dreamwidth on the weekdays, but I've been crashing pretty early most nights so by the time I make it home, eat dinner, and check DW/LJ and occasionally Tumblr, it's basically time for me to crash. (But, hey, at least I'm on a regular sleep schedule for the first time in about ten years?) So I haven't really been doing much in the way of posting.
Eventually, I expect that I'll get to the point where I'll feel comfortable posting to DW/LJ during my "lunch break" at work. (I'm technically logged in, so if the phone rings I can answer it, but I'm not really doing anything otherwise.) Right now, though, I'm still new enough that I don't feel comfortable surfing the net like, well, all of my coworkers do. I'm sure I'll get there. Just... not for awhile. So, for the time being, not much - if any - posting during the week, which leads to a bit of spamming on weekends.
As for fanfiction, I'm sorta keeping to my NY resolution. I am writing at least a couple of thousand words per week, usually during my morning and/or evening bus rides. (I tend to get motion sick on the metro if I try to read/write, so I tend to listen to music instead.) So far, though, it's mostly been adding to current WIPs or big bang stories. So, while I'm not actually posting new fic each week like my resolution was for, I'm at least writing.
Which, you know, works for me. My big thing was that I at least write, since I feel like I'm failing as a writer when I don't. I might not be actually finishing anything that I can post, but I'm at least writing words that, theoretically at least, will be posted eventually. That's something.
As for work, I'm probably going to make another post in a bit. It's going fairly well, I think, and I really am enjoying the new job.
