out_thereHey, when the heck did I lose my tolerance for alcohol?! I know I've never been a heavy drinker, but one glass of vodka mix never used to send me. Now, I've had one glass and I'm feeling very happy and tiddley.
(Random question - does anyone outside my family use the word tiddley, for that not quite drunk but on your way there phase?)
I checked Sarah Kendall. She has a show tonight, and another one tomorrow night at 7.15pm. So, since we have SV on tonight, and I've obviously decided to drink (and tonight's show starts at 8.15 which would require me taping SV, and missing The Bill... which I may do anyway, but I want the choice) I'll skip tonights show.
You know, I'm going to end up not going. I bet you. It'll come down to the fact that I like being online, and dislike having to out if I don't have to, and I know that I'm just going out on my own. I mean, if I'm going to be alone anyway, I'll have just as much fun in front of my computer or TV, with a drink in my hand.
Would you believe I was actually considering going out tonight? Break the habit of the last few weeks (months) and actually start going out again. My big trouble is that all my friends are uni friends who are either too broke to out on a Friday/Saturday, work the weekends, or still believe that Mon-Thurs are perfectly acceptable nights to go out and get totally plastered.
I know I should be socialising, but it's a hassle and a half to organise, and uni friends timetables and mine don't match up. The other fun is that I don't make friends easily (read: too lazy to make the effort) so all of my friends are uni friends, and the longest I've known any of them is 15 months. Hence, the temptation to just drop out of their social circle all together is very strong. I'm trying to be good, and not drop out but...
Okay, I'm tiddley, and rambling. Sorry.

Date: 2003-04-19 03:23 am (UTC)As for the keeping friends thing, I am the last person to give you advice there - I'm shocking. But it doesn't seem as though you have much in common with them. And yet nobody likes to have no friends...
But you do have your LJ friends *g*

Yeah, you've hit the nail on the head, I guess. But what do people really have in common with friends anyway? Generally, it's just shared experiences, enforced time together. Hence, athigh school, it's easy to have friends. Once you hit uni, it's not too hard, but most of my friends I met through the RMIT Queer room, anyway. And at work? It's generally people you know, and don't mind talking to, but it's never a good idea to mix work and social life. (If you go out and get wasted, you definatly don't want it going around the office the next day...)

Yeah, I just need more of you to be in Melbourne, so I'll have people to go out with! *g*

Fandom and intoxication. Good mix.
