Well, last night my coworker Channa wanted me to tag along with her and do laundry after work. This actually worked out well for me, as although I have several beers at home, I can not get wasted off of them. I love beer, but I can really only drink so many, never enough to fuck me up, before I either get too full to drink more or have to pee every

"Don't cry for me, I'm already dead."
If that was true you wouldn't bother reaching for the bottle.
It's just painkiller, is all.

Not last week but week before? Sat Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday in the bar from 3PM til closing ... cleared out the cash it'd taken me 18 months to save.
Had a great time.
Sorta.
Kinda.
Only a coupla blank areas ...
... not bad, considering.

Met some nice staff.
Met coupla members of the band.
Played some pool.
Got to know some *cough* regulars.

Alternative?
I brew my own beer ... $9.50 gets me 20 litres / 60 bottles / 5 cases.
I rarely go through more than 2 litres a day ... 6 bottles.
Meh.

But wow, did I burn through some cash.
*sigh*

Yep, it does indeed get pricey, doesn't it? I actually think alcohol is quite good for people, just not in the quantities I've been consuming it... Don't get me wrong, it made me happy in forgetting at the time, but I have been a moody jerk lately and I'm sure that's partially affecting the situation!

3 to close? You can drink a lot more than I can, friend. Although I rather impressed myself the night I had the equivalent to 5 beers and 2 shots of Jack Daniels... I am pretty much a lightweight. I have found, that for nondrunken but just feeling good purposes, a couple of Newcastles and a shot does me quite well.

I'm glad it's not cheap. If it was I might talk myself into thinking I had a great time ... when actually it was exhausting and mostly very mediocre.
Which kinda pains me cuz there were some good interactions. And I'm dead lonely.

It's not the alcohol that gets to me, it's the ignorant drunks. I don't falsify my emotions and they pick up on that, as though insisting that I congratulate them on their nastiness. Which makes for conflict ... sorta like standing up to the school-yard bully: there's no winning in that situation.

Yeah, I think we're in the same place... Where I'm just so lonely, I feel the need to go out and (maybe) meet someone although really, I can't afford to do that on a regular basis. I HAVE met some cool people, it seems like almost every time I go out now I meet someone else new and cool and when I first moved here, I couldn't meet anyone interesting, even at the bar, so I gave up for a long time.

I can not be fake, even drunk. I may smile very big and seem silly, but if you ask me a question that requires deep thought I will open one of those big file drawers in my mind and open it up. I feel some people who drink are literally overacting, it's hard to believe anyone could be like that, ever.
