What an enjoyable coincidence, that this thread happens to be on top of GD.
I got... very drunk last night. I had been drinking white rum with ginger ale, a few glasses (at least one of them double shots) and then decided to go along to a gig with my housemates to see an old favourite band of mine, who rarely play shows nowadays and whom I haven't seen in ages. Now, they were the last band, and perhaps unsurprisingly, I have no recollection of their set, although my housemate tells me I did, in fact, watch them.
I drank quite a lot of beers. And some Southern Comfort. That's just what I remember. Also, one of the moments I do remember involved me buying a pint for an attractive female (I'm
pretty sure I'd asked my friends if they wanted drinks, too), so hopefully I didn't embarrass myself there. Although I probably embarrassed myself everywhere else anyway, haha.
Woke up with chips strewn all over my floor from a takeaway cup and some wicked bruises on my face, went back to bed and have only recently gotten up (it's 6:59 PM as I type this) and fixed myself some toast and hot chocolate. My housemate has been regaling me with some amusing tales of my drunken escapades. I'm glad they collected me before making their way home, heh.
Somehow I am not entirely broke after all that! I guess because of the pre-drinking. Even if you do overdo it as I did, it still saves you a lot of money, haha. Hell, I even have sufficient funds to do it all again at the Sabbat show next Saturday - although the plan was to take it (relatively) easy on that night and then party hard on their second show the night after, which also happens to be payday, so as not to let a hangover impact my enjoyment of the second show (which has the stronger lineup of bands, anyway).
Might spend that $$$$ on merch instead, I guess.
I currently feel as though I am clinging to a flimsy, makeshift raft, floating across the top of a sea of embarrassment. It's always annoying when you have this many memory gaps on an evening when you were out and about, leaving you with no idea who you may have made a fool of yourself in front of or how badly. Oh well. At least I'm not hungover. Yet.
Tl;dr: Got drunk, saw bands, forgot bands, practised land-surfing and was (allegedly) chased by a human dog, purchased hot chips that were then strewn across the floor and allowed to complete a beautiful metamorphosis into cold chips, sustained mysterious facial injuries, magically avoided hangover for the time being at least. I haven't been properly drunk in a
while. Overall that was pretty fun, I guess.
