Just got back from my sister's wedding. It was definitely fun. I haven't drank that much (and sobered up so quickly) in a single day in ages. And at least 5 different types of drinks too (from beer to fine chardonnay and champagne, a Merlot and some Cabernet; 2 drinks min. each; full glasses (in their respective cup type); all that was missing was some whiskey and vodka, and I'd be sold. Grand total, if I recall has to be roughly 12 drinks (excluding water and coffee)). Whoof. I'm gonna sleep like a baby tonight; and maybe sweat alcohol for a duration of tomorrow.

EDIT:
I'll give my body a badass build award if I wake up sans hangover, and good for church tomorrow morning.

Oh, and it took me at least 4 coffees and plenty of water just to neutralize half of my drunkedness tonight too (fortunately, I'm not your common asshole drunk, or wild partier drunk; plus it was mostly because apparently I was the DD for the night for my group, and I was already too drunk when I got the news. Communication is not my family's strong suit.). Fortunately, my circadian rhythm has also been reset. I should be able to sleep properly in an hour at least.

EDIT EDIT:
If I recall correctly, I seem to have been one hell of a social person. I mean, I provided some interesting food for thought to a good handful of people (family friends to in-laws), made some inspiring thoughts based on my past experiences that in a way opened some minds, and heck, I managed to get on the good side of someone that apparently was difficult to talk to in moments (and was told after the fact). Apparently, I'm one hell of a communicator with enough drinks in me. When sober, I'm normally close to opposite.

I wonder how I would be as a salesman after enough drinks?

I suppose a good summary could be that I came off as a chessmaster/mad scientist/mastermind kind of person after maybe my 6th drink. More accurately, I think I was just more observant than usual.

Just had an awesome ending to my HC dance.

Spoiler: spoilered for longevity (click to show/hide)

To give a little backstory: I've recently been injured during football practice, something I've been moping about on the sad thread. 1/3 of my kneecap (about 2 inches wide) broke off  and banged around in my knee area. What is essentially a piece of severely damaged cartilage was trimmed and reattached to the rest of the kneecap. Even though the surgery was a success, I still will have arthritis down the road. After the surgery I'm on crutches for 6 weeks(1/6 done!) and wearing a leg brace for 4-6 months.

Anyways, on to the dance. I decided to go because I figured I had two choices. A: I would be sitting at home, browsing the forums and TvTropes, or B:Sit at the dance and have the chance for maybe a little fun.

I get to the dance, and everybody's happy to see me. And there's the girl. A pretty girl who I like. And of course, at the first HS dance at my new school, I would be on crutches.

Fast forward 2 1/2 hours, and the dance is almost over. I'm sitting. She's about to leave. I'm cursing at myself. And suddenly, in a burst of sudden clarity, I realized there was only one thing I could do. I jump up, grab my crutches, and set off towards her. I tap her on the shoulder, and ask if she wants to dance. Just one dance. Even though she said she had to leave, she still said yes.

For those 30 seconds to a minute(Who keeps track?) that I danced with her, it felt like every dance where I hadn't gotten the girl had suddenly been worth it. Her head on my shoulder, my hands on her hips, I was finally happy. 10 dollars for a homecoming ticket was worth it.

tl;dr got to dance with the girl.

EDIT: And I forgot to congratulate my wingman. As I was struggling to dance with two crutches under my arms, in another impulse move, I threw the crutches to the side, away from everybody else. When I finished dancing, they were gone. Because my friend had grabbed them for me and came to give them to me when I was done dancing. He forever has a place in my book as "Badass Friend".

Virtual high five, for both you and your friend.

[Criptfeind]

Homecoming dance tickets here were twenty bucks and forty at the door if you didn't buy them beforehand

60-70.

Beforehand.

No one goes to dances at my school.

Everything I could come up with turns into a North vs. South metaphor with the North fighting for the good name of the game and the South fighting for Apathy.

Something that made me happy today was...

Playing DF and realizing DF is'nt challenging enough the way im playing it... So now I get to approach it from a different way.
Sounds dumb If you aren't me, but I need to play in a terrifying area with no traps, and get to the first cavern by autumn of the first year. YAY! best game ever! 500+ hrs and I'm not bored yet!

I have just read "Batman: The dark knight returns". Needless to say it was good.

Wasn't that the one with "I'M THE GODDAMN BATMAN"? I'm pretty sure Linkara hated that one. I don't read comics.

Also, I'm taking the Sabbath off and there's not a damn thing anyone can do to stop me.

Is the return permanent? Either way, enjoy it while you can, and fly safe!

Is the third picture part of some series?

I'm about to go run 5000 meters in sand, mud, and gravel, on one of the hottest days since July. And I am happy about this.

I'm happier because I finished this in 18:59, a 22 second personal record for my 5k, a 2 minute personal record for that course.

I don't know why this made me happy.
