No, I was making an obscure non-joke on going the whole hog.

You're not fat at all <3

[Bluesummers]

may as well go fully porcine.

That word reminds me of a DELICIOUS tonkatsu dish at Mitsuwa Market in Edgewater, New Jersey. They called it "Porcine Delight"...a noodle bowl, layered with fried pork cutlet, topped with a softboiled egg.

And (to get back on topic) their saké is AMAZING...I had a bottle saved for about two years, before I finally said "fuck it" and opened it up. Nuaagghh.......


This thread has gone hog wild.

yeah, and I was making a joke on the various definitions of 'porcine'. <3

[The Seldom Killer]

Went to the pub after polo, conversation was grand theft auto, the real kind not the computer game of the same name, immigration policy and cats. Went to the chippy on the way home, conversation was anaerobic exercise, gipsies and how awesome engineers are.

Fucking aces.

And I get to play a game where drinking is positively encouraged.

[henri bemis]

I should know better than to mix vodka and R.E.M.  I want to hug Michael Stipe, then steal his hat, because when I drink, it is always the 90's, and I can't live in the 90's without a proper hat.  I think I need to add "inspirational traffic jam" to my to-do list.

And thus defines my and my wife's drinking preferences. She orders a gin martini, up & smooth with 3 olives, while I get a washington apple on the rocks with a splash of jager.

Oddly enough, I think the washington apple is the only thing I'll drink that contains whiskey. I'm an absinthe kind of guy.

It was a good night.

[Papersatan]

I wish I were drinking.  Tonight I have one of those moods which feels like it would be enhanced with a buzz.  I am having a conversation with a friend which would also be enhanced by a buzz.  There is a big bottle of rum in the kitchen....

But I have Mono, like a loser.  <sigh>

[Bluesummers]

Mono is a "great" weightloss regimen...I had mono in high school and could eat nothing but popsicles and water for three weeks. I lost 20 lbs.

It SUCKS. Good luck.

[Papersatan]

It hurts to swallow, but I am still eating solid foods, just not spicy, acidic, or crunchy ones.

Had a glass of a lovely 11-year old cask strength Caol Ila yesterday. There's something about islay scotches that make me incredibly happy. They smell of wood and peat and warmth, and windy, rainy days with a good book and my girlfriend and a fireplace.

[Welu]

Do painkillers that do nothing at all but I've taken enough they should count as not being sober? Fuck it. THE PILLS DO NOTHING.

[Zingoleb]

were they pills your mother gave you?

 

[Welu]

I knew I should have taken the ones Alice had when she was ten feet tall.

[Thrillho]

I spent about six months as a teenager absolutely bombed on painkillers when I hurt my back. Good times...

[Carl-E]

Well, if they've already seen you at your worst, there's nowhere to go but up, right? 

[RedWolf4]

Except unless they were high during the interview. . .

I GOT A JOB WHILE DRUNK

Wow...how the hell did you pull that off? Was your interviewer high as hell like RedWolf is saying, or were you applying for a position with TSA? (Because those fuckers can't do anything right)

[RedWolf4]

I vote for the job as Town Drunk in a wild west theme village. . . . or whatever they're called.

[Papersatan]

I think, from the other thread, it was a bartending job at a bar he was drinking in.

[CrowFairy]

I've been drinking Smirnoff lemonade mixed with Simply Lemonade since like ... 11, y'all. And I'm staying with a friend, and she just went to bed. And now I'm feeling a profound existential loneliness. Probably because I'm an idiot and took my antidepressant (the dosage of which was recently doubled) yesterday after drinking said mixture of lemonade then as well. Words are hard. I don't know what I'm trying to say, but I think you guys will get it, maybe? I don't know, but none of my friends are awake, and I'm sad and lonely. This is stupid. My best friend has taken to not wanting to talk to me and ignoring me for no real reason, and it sucks, sucks, sucks. It's 4 AM, and I'm only vaguely tired but mostly sad. And I've been sitting and looking at my favorite conspiracy theory website. Wheeeee. Life is stupid. I don't want to go to class on Monday. Or ever. I want to curl up in a cardboard box and get picked up and adopted by someone who will love me. I want to be loved. Why am I so sad?

ALSO, VALENTINE'S DAY IS STUPID. JUST A FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD PSA.

Also, why will there never be any news? It's so sad--WHY IS IT SO SAD??? (P.S. I stopped drinking like 40 minutes ago, and I have no idea why I'm just now feeling the effects of this stupid stuff.

Also, how pathetic is it that I'm having an existential crisis on a thread for non-sober people like I suppose I am right now? Scale of 1-10, y'all, with 10 being SUPER-FREAKING-PATHETIC.

[CrowFairy]

I am having trouble editing my stupid post on my stupid phone, which, by the way, has sorta sticky keys because of a bit of a spill yesterday.

Anyway, what I wanted to say:
I am going to have a lonely, pointless existence forever and ever. I don't remember how to be happy.

[idontunderstand]

I am going to have a lonely, pointless existence forever and ever.

No you're not, hush. *BEAR HUG*

You're a lovable, kind and nice person and good things will happen to you many times over. Just let it happen. Hang in there.

I believe that too. But even if you aren't there yet today, let us know how you're doing.

[CrowFairy]

Awwww, thanks, guys. <333 *hugs back*

But the cake is a lie. T_T We do have cookies....

I've been awake for like 30 minutes now, and I just feel vaguely numb. My friend got up at the same time as me, and we're so out of it that we're just talking via IM. Even though we're literally sitting on the floor three feet from each other. XP It's all dark and cloudy outside. I'm not hungover--I think. I think I would know if I was?

Is it weird for your stomach to feel kinda full and for your kidney to hurt a bit while drinking? That was going on last night for some reason.

[Barmymoo]

I don't drink much, but my scientific knowledge extends far enough to say that probably, one of the reasons you feel out of it is dehydration. Alcohol dehydrates anyway, and almost no one drinks enough water on a day to day basis anyway. Drink lots of water today.

I've never had a headache hangover but on the few occasions I've been drunk I've been fairly useless the next day, it takes most of the day to recover and regain normal functioning.

That's definitely a hangover. No terrible headaches or stomach problems required for such a thing.

[Carl-E]

The dehydration is probably why your kidney hurt some.  If you noticed, whenever anyone's drunk in the comic, the first thing a "caretaker" character does is get them to drink some water.  That's because it really helps.  I try to drink a large glass before bed if I've been drinking - just bein' proactive. 

Also, some protein the next morning (eggs for breakfast?) can help you focus and get less "out of it" faster. 

[CrowFairy]

Huh. Very interesting. 0.o I actually drank quite a bit of actual lemonade with the Smirnoff--at least as much of it as the alcohol. I drank quite a bit of water before trying to settle in and sleep. I've been drinking some water and have been drinking some more of the regular lemonade. I felt pretty okay after I'd been up for an hour or so. I've had a couple of cookies and a big chunk of leftover pizza. About to start on some ice cream. My sleep schedule has been pretty effed up for about two months, so it's hard to tell what's just plain sleepiness or what.

[Barmymoo]

Personally, if I ate pizza, cookies and ice cream the morning after drinking I'd feel even worse, but my stomach is quite choosy about food. I don't think lemonade is really hydrating; too much sugar. But I'm glad you're feeling better!

[CrowFairy]

Thanks. I spaced it all out over the span of several hours. I just kinda munch whenever I feel a bit hungry. And you're right--I should have had more water. But the lemonade was Simply Lemonade and therefore delicious. XP

And now from not being able to sleep until 7 AM and sleeping in until 3, I am still awake at 6:30 AM. Wheee. I'm sleepy, but my OCD got the better of me and forced me to finish a enormous but not terribly important task I've been working on (obsessively) pretty much all day. I have one class today, and it's not until 12:40 PM, so I can sleep until 11:40 and then sleep when I get back.

[Barmymoo]

Bit off topic for this thread, but if you want to address your sleep cycle issues, I would advise setting a regular time both for waking up and going to sleep, and sticking to it absolutely for three weeks (except in emergencies - if you plan ahead you can identify times where you'll need to be stay up late/get up early and factor that into your choice of regular times). It will be very painful for a while, especially if it means going without much sleep during one day, but it is the only way to make it work.

I know you've mentioned in the past that you have the same issue as I do with forcing yourself to get offline and go to bed. What's working for me at the moment is having a checklist over my computer where I tick off "nine hours' sleep a night" for each day, and having deliberately committed myself to a daily activity which requires me to get up at the same time every day. Both together mean that I have to go to bed at the same time every night, otherwise I'll not hit one or other of my daily targets.

[CrowFairy]

I used to try doing that, and it's never worked. :/ And setting goals for myself has become fairly pointless, because the only things I can guarantee I'll get done are homework assignments at this point. I'm not really sure when exactly it was that I let myself go like that. :/ I really need to get my crap together and try harder. Your suggestions are excellent, and I'll see about trying to do better about it. At least while my depression is like it is right now, all bets are off...

[Barmymoo]

One step at a time. One of my friends scoffed when I told her that one of my goals is to eat three proper meals a day, but for me it would be success to get into that habit. If you try to do too much at once you'll invariably fail, so just cut it down and down until it's manageable. Like toddlers eating solid food!

[Bluesummers]

What's working for me at the moment is having a checklist over my computer where I tick off "nine hours' sleep a night" for each day,[...]

The checklist might sound weird at first, but that's how I keep myself committed to anything, whether it's getting enough sleep, filling out a form needed, etc. I basically send myself an email from my phone when I have the idea in my head, because I know if I don't write it down somewhere, I'll forget it...whether I'm sober or not.

[CrowFairy]

See, I have a hard time enforcing my rules. I go, "Okay, I'll stop watching this and can watch one episode of this once I've gotten a page done." And then I keep watching it anyway. I like to get things done all at once, so it's extremely difficult for me to do punishments and rewards when it comes to that. I have yet to figure out a way that actually works when it comes to sleeping. I tell myself I can't do something if I don't go to bed by a certain time. I do it the next day anyway. And if the thing that's keeping me from going to bed is OCD.... Well, good luck tearing me away from what I'm doing. The empty checkboxes stopped working my second year of college or so. As long as there's literally no one who can see me being lazy, I just end up doing whatever I want. If my conscience didn't make me feel so guilty, I don't think I'd ever get anything done. I can spend a lengthy amount of time procrastinating, but eventually, I'll stop enjoying it because I feel guilty about not doing what I should be. Guilt doesn't work for sleep most of the time, and I can't even begin to fathom why. I'm used to feeling tired all the time even when I'm sleeping well, so telling myself that I'll be tired the next day doesn't work. I wish I could think of something unconventional that I haven't tried for anything else in my life that would help me do it.
