Yesterday I had a great day which involved an abrupt about face revision of my stance on potentially argument-provoking posts, which I will tell you all about of course, but for now I will only say this brief comment before heading off to another social engagement:
I AM NEVER DRINKING AGAIN.
I know you don’t believe me. I know you are thinking, yeah sure, until next time! Chortle chortle! But I am serious. You see, I have past actions on my side: last night I had three drinks, the most I’ve had except for one other three drink night about a month ago I believe, in about a year. Did that make sense? What I mean is my alcohol consumption has been trending strongly down since about age 27 and I see no reason to fight it. What with all the vomiting (sorry to be indelicate). So I don’t doubt me and you shouldn’t either.
Yesterday I attended SkeptiCamp 2009 here in Vancouver. This is a participant-content-generated mini-conference where people do short presentations on a topic related to science, skepticism, critical thinking, or related issues. I didn’t present (too shy this time) but Husband and I both enjoyed our experience as attendees quite a bit. After the conference we all went out for dinner, then to Joe and Mel’s for socializing, which was the site of the scandalously out of control three drinks I had.
Cut to this morning and me lying on the bathroom floor whimpering, wondering if it would be better to stick the hangover out or just kill myself and be done with it. Of course I went with the former (less messy) and now here I am, firmly resolved to NEVER DRINK AGAIN.
Because gah, this is horrible.
