Seriously. Fortunately, I know a few bartenders so drinking was not a problem. :) When I lost my wallet I had to have my little sister buy me cigarettes. Seriously.

I'd probably end up doing something stupid like riding my bike home on the Rock Creek Parkway. And not, I don't mean the trail part. <strong>When do you move? Because we can totally hang out before you leave. And I PROMISE you won't regret it. :-) Maybe. </strong> If we ever meet in real life, remind me not to go out drinking with you.

Losing your ID is an emergency. Well, it always has been for me. Fortunately for me the first time this happened (Yes, it has happened more than once.) was in college when the owner of the pub on campus was more than happy to vouch for me because "she's been drinking in here for years." No matter that I had just turned twenty-one a few months before this. And no, I did not have a fake ID. It's just that when you hang out with grad students in a college bar, folks are less likely to card you. I hope you have managed to get some alcohol into your system. Because emergencies like this call for a drink -- or two. <strong>I think that was part of the problem...I got worked up about the loss of the ID that all I wanted was a drink. It truly sucked there for like 30 minutes or so. </strong> Ummm. Losing your ID is an emergency. Well, it always has been for me.
