The Day Before

“You are only young once, but you can stay immature indefinitely.” ~Author Unknown
I woke up with a searing headache this morning and painful jaw ache. Maybe I should wear the night guard that cost $500 to produce.
I’ve had three miniature candy bars in the past two hours. Although one of which didn’t count, because it tasted like ass. I ate it, but it was gross and so I’ve determined that that particular miniature candy bar doesn’t count toward the calorie limit.
I should confess that yesterday I ate the vegetables out of roommate’s Chinese food and that after I finished off my tortilla chips, I started in on his, because I had to finish the amazing whole foods guacamole that I consumed in less than 24 hours.
I was late to work today, due to the mother fucking headache this morning. But seriously, I haven’t been on CP (colored people) time in a few weeks, so I wasn’t too concerned.
It’s raining. Again. Hurricane season blows.
Tomorrow night is the birthday party. I do not. Repeat, do not, want anything remotely close to my 21st birthday to occur to me tomorrow night. Which means no throwing up on cars, no continuous shots, no giving me a drink because my other beer is empty, no guess the shot where the shot ends up being (surprise) gin, no dinosaur throwing up noises, no puking, no spins, and no throwing up everything all day the day after including water.
And this; which I’ve stolen from Lorie (and she got it from here):
(take careful notice of the date of conception. It was a cold winter in upstate New York that year. Thankfully my parents went for a spring-May 1983-wedding. Yeah, do the math)
You were born on a Wednesdayunder the astrological sign Scorpio.
Your Life path number is 3.
A truly gifted 3 possesses the most exceptional creative skills, normally in the verbal realm, writing, speaking, acting, or similar endeavors.

Oy, I was pretty much drunk for three days straight on the weekend of my 21st birthday. And on one of those days I was dressed as a Catholic schoolgirl. Um, yeah. This is probably a story for my own website.
ANYWAY. The point is/was, this behavior was WAY out of the ordinary for me. It’s a wonder I didn’t die of alcohol poisoning.
I hope your 22nd is tame, yet fun!

I’m a 3 too!

i think raiding each others food is exceptable if you’ve laid, dreamt about laying or lied about laying (or lied about plans to lay) your roommate and/or friend. even a remote sexual tension living in siberia would be okay.
otherwise you and your roomie are headed for a little Kashmir-style conflict over the kung pao.

I think that once the roomie learns that I’ve eaten his veggies, he might kill me, as I’ve already forgotten to empty the dishwasher…again. So if I don’t post tomorrow, that’s why.
For the record, I don’t remember my 21st birthday or the day after. Just throwing up toast and having the people in my office buy me krispy kreme donuts, because greasy food makes a hangover better.

Mmmmm, Whole Foods guacamole (insert Homer Simpson rgghhhchrgrl sounds). It’s worth any theft necessary to consume it.
Hope your birthday is fun– I’m sure it will be a bit tamer!

I have one too and yet it stays in its cute little tan container. $500 well spent. I think I’d rather have the teeth molds used to make it. At least that would make for an interesting “art” piece.
