Why, Lauren? Do you even know?

I don't like getting drunk a whole lot. I mean, being tipsy and laughy and playing drinking games, I understand the appeal.

But mostly, once I get past that part, I'm not a good drunk. I drank a lot more this summer than I ever did before. And I don't mean every weekend, but for someone who refused, pretty much, to drink in college, it was a lot.

Now, I've spent four out of the last days drunk. Last night wasn't so bad, but I got hit with the alkie malaise nevertheless. torturemysoul and my mother, all I have to say is, thank you for existing. Friday I got so fucked up I woke up at 7 AM and was still drunk, and school hasn't started yet, so it's not like I have to worry, but I don't like that this seems to be the best way I know how to have fun.

I totally miss the girl who had the ability to say no, because seriously, it's not like I never got drunk before I came to Yale, but I kinda feel like I've caved to the social mores of partying.

Today was the activities bazaar for Freshman and of course I was at the co-op table. Nobody paid attention to us until Ben and I got up on the ledge around Beinecke Plaza and started dancing with the ginormous pride flag. I was so afraid I was going to fall, it's probably a twenty foot drop. Now I'm horribly sunburned, but for once the co-op raked in a lot of girls. It was all because of my creative interpretive dance. We had two lesbian freshman last year (and then myself, who was Bi), and now we have...UNTOLD NUMBERS. WOOOHOOO.

The unfortunate biproduct is that my skin has taken on a reddish cast. Ooooh sunburning.

hmm. so what changed? i mean, what made you start drinking this summer and the past few days? i'm sure you still have the ability to say no, but maybe you just don't want to?

No, I got tired of being the girl who sat there stiffly while everybody else got drunk.

I've decided that I'm not going to drink anymore, lolz.

*hugs*

[dark-reaction.livejournal.com]

Yes, this, I think, would be a good idea.

I am sitting here right now, still suffering the effects of the weekend because I just can't bounce back like I used to, and feeling the horrors, i.e. I'm a terrible person and everyone knows. That kind of thing. I also decided that smoking cigarettes was a top drawer idea and now my insides feel like putrid death. So I just wanted to let you know that I feel your pain. Detoxing is your friend and herbal tea massages your soul.

I don't like that this seems to be the best way I know how to have fun.

It's not really, but it all seems like such a good idea at the time. My partying buddy has just left the country, so I think things will calm down now. I can only hope. *hopes*

Congrats on the untold numbers! :D

Thank you, we need more lesbians! I have enough queens to last me a life time. I swear to god, I'm like SUPERFAGHAG.

Ditto! Big ditto. A couple of weeks back I was telling my dad about a party I'd been to where everyone that came was gay. He just kind of squinted at me and said, 'You're one of those... fag slags, aren't you?'

The scary thing is, he's so right and he doesn't even know it.

More lesbians!! Yay!

No, I'M Super FagHag, with my sidekick, Captian Fruit Fly. Who was that again?

P.S. German gay guy is now signed up for Glee Club, which I talked him into. =p He seems very nice.

Waking up drunk, yeah that's me 90% of the time.

Only not right now, not drunk, just headachey and enjoying the virtues of turkey bacon. YUM.

Bleh, here's where I say "I've been drinking since I was seventeen and I know what's for." But I actually don't. It is easier to not drink when you're out of college. Or you could just pour a soda and tell everyone it has rum in it. Or get out a deck of cards and be the only one sober enought to direct a drinking game and help everyone else get sloshed.

I love any kind of bacon. So much--also, why must you make so much sense? now i'm sitting here wondering why I didn't come up with that on my own.

[memphis86.livejournal.com]

I should have mentioned, I've been drinking since I was seventeen. And I've been thinking of ways to have fun and NOT drink since I was twenty. ;D

Mmmm, bacon.
