For a loser

[vicarz]

I'm using my datebook for social events. This has actually gotten out of control. I once lamented that I didn't really have friends because I never had something to do. So, recently-ish I learned that you actually should make an effort here in there, use that electronic speakey thing with the ringing, write emails or at least respond to them, and...dare I say it...make plans.

About that making plans thing - no wonder I just go to clubs and parties. Holy fuck - I've done something with someone every night for how long now? I'm fucking tired! I miss shopping for groceries! Now, the 5 days a week in teh gym thing is clearly part of the problem, the gym dates Sun 5:30, Mon 4:30, Wed 6:30, Thur 4:30, Sat 11:30 do tend to add up over time - moreso with my new cardio bullshit.

So, I have friends. That's just great. Problem is, 8/16 I start class again. I think i'm going to stop fanatically making plans. I have some folk I've said I'm going to hang out with, and I am - but I need to stop the general habit before...well I make myself more tired than when I'm in school. All that fun, damn...how will I take it all? Oh woe is fucking me! So stop calling them, Shut up! or admit if you weren't hanging out you'd be complaining you were lonely. I said shut up!

I might throw a party before school - might not. I came up with a cool theme just in case:
I'm an alcoholic. You can tell, because if you drink alone, you're an alcoholic. Now, I'm going to drink on XXXDATEXXX in my house. I ahve lots of stuff to drink. If you'd like to prevent me from being an alcoholic, you can come over during that time. If you like, you can drink as well - I will be drinking. Your pressence will be an intervention - I won't be a drunk because I won't be alone!

In my own mind I'm clever. It's nice there, in my mind. Crowded even.

I'll be your friend! I might even be a friend that can save you from yourself and help you down your booze ;)Will there be ::gasp:: truffles?

We need TACOS first! Dagnabit! Or something like that...

You know me...I tend to play that stuff by ear and you're quite the socialite these days ;)

We are doing tacos. There is no escape from it, the taco. What for it is we must have it the taco, but si we must si we must have it the taco.

I am a slave to the siren call of the taco...

We can shop for groceries tonight. There is a Harris Teeter that I wouldn't mind hitting right across the street from some movie theatres!

You could continue emailing and calling people just to keep in touch if you don't have time to get together...

Drinking alone doesn't make a person an alchoholic. Drinking alone to get drunk too often does. But I'm up for an intervention if you want it :)

I'll lay odds (no comments...) that I will be out of town when you schedule this intervention opportunity. If I am I will have to take extreme measures: whether in France or Iceland, I promise to drink as much as possible to make sure they can't export it, so you do't have the opportunity to be tempted by it.

You start again on the 16th; I just finished 'summer session' last night and start again on 08/23.

Cheers!!

If I can assist you in your quest to avoid sinking into an alcoholic fugue, I will certainly try. :)
