Drinking Game Friday is getting desperate...

Ugh, happy Drinking Game Friday. OR WHATEVER. Sorry. Multiple plans I had for this weekend fell through and now I'm all bummed out and angsty like a middle-schooler with no date to the eighth grade dance.

I origionally had plans to go to New Orleans this weekend for Rachel's bachelorette party, which would have not only been my first bachelorette party but also my first time in New Orleans. (I'm hungover just thinking about it.) However, since my job pays me in high-fives and complementary bottles of Deer Park water, that's not so much possible. Then I was supposed to go to Atlantic City with original-co-blogger Eddie and the infamous Tulane Chris (not Recrap Tuesdays Chris) for a weekend of 100% pure debaucherous fun
Jersey style! I even had a god-awful fringed dress to shimmy and shake in with the other tacky, slot-machine playing yentahs! Alas, I checked my bank account last week and the balance was a picture of my mom with her arms crossed with a stern look on her face instead of a dollar amount. Sigh...

I'm especially pissed off that everything fell through this weekend because I had made a very conscious decision to get sloppy, black-out, ~~*~~mAkE 0uT w/ rAndOm B0yZ~~*~~, bad decision making, bra losing, corner puking, regrettable text message sending, partial birth abortion, act-like-you're-a-freshman-at-a-state-school drunk.

It's been so long since I've been to that place and god do I miss it. Please don't get me wrong, it's not like I have a new found sense of maturity and I'm past the getting "wasted" phase, unlike the rest of you plebes. Because I'm not. It's just that my drinking career is stuck in a major rut. So is my sex life for that matter. I think the two might be related.

You see, whereas most people start drinking and go through their sloppy-drunk phase in college and hit the brakes a little after graduation, I did the reverse (see Figure 1.) I started drinking freshman year of high school and drank responsibly all the way through college (for the most part.) Then I graduated and was immediately slapped in the face by the cold-bitch-lover that is being a post-college 20-something. I decided the best way to deal with that pain was to drink. Heavily. Like an Amish kid exiled from his community. But that all changed when I moved home and got mono last summer. Even after I recovered I couldn't drink because my liver was still hobbling around on crutches at half-speed feeling sorry for itself. Not to mention the fact that I lived at home with my parents (talk about your cock blocks.) Now I'm living in the city in a studio apartment to myself, a mere stumble away from all the bars and bros I could want, but I'm too lazy to take advantage of it.

But I stand firm that this weekend I will have no more! No more shall I remember what happened last night, how I got home and where my credit card is! No more will I get my period and feel inconvenienced instead of relieved! No more will I walk by a bar and think "Oh I should go back there for brunch, I bet they do a good bagel and lox," instead of going in that night. Because New Orleans, Atlantic City, mono and society's standards on decency and age be damned! I'm getting wasted this weekend! I'm playing the Drinking to Get Drunk Drinking Game!

you should go to McFaddens on Saturday. They're having a Ho Down. $20 open bar from 8-11 and a mechanical bull! It's like my life long dream to go, but no one will go with me.. so go and write about it on Monday so I can live vicariously through you.

well, we have a slutparty slated for this evening at rumours. if you see rowdy government employees groping each other, that's probably our crowd. and the strip club (inevitable good friday drinking postparty locale) is across the street! and mcdonalds! join the fest, it won't disappoint.

First and foremost I am NOT ashamed to say that I can ride a mechanical bull like a champ.

Second and foremost, the last time I went to McFadden's there were homely girls dancing on the bar. But I do have a line-jump card...

Third and foremost, I wouldn't hate getting sloppy with a bunch of stripper-loving government workers. That sounds like a win/win situation.

Anna: Me. You. Jill. Dan's Cafe. Saturday night. 4realz. Hope I don't remember it.

For a low budget get schwasted like you just dont care weekend, hit up Hoboken, NJ tomorrow for their St. Paddy's Day parade. There will be plenty of fist pumping and poor life choices.

Your graph reflects my life too! After the mono and pneumonia I had to detox.

what is all this shit about getting a cab? either get blackout and end up in someone's lap, railing on a park bench, or drive home.

also, perhaps your bank account would have more skrilla in it if you stay sober this weekend and sell your body. that kinda solves 1.5 of your problems

bahahaha oh meg. im the same as you, i was so well behaved when i was younger. i mean i still got drunk (im australian its mandatory) but i never had black outs or kissed multiple boys in one nite.

now im almost 28 and i am a bigger trashbag than ive ever been. last nite was a shocker...i kissed my friend (a girl..oops), came home at 8am covered in dirt, totally fucked up my knee, COVERED in bruises, fairly sure i got chucked out of a bar for falling asleep in the toilets and lost my 2 favourite rings. WHERE DID THEY GOOOOO.

sadly none of this is unusual for me.

Mini Loans Quick are short term loans. These loans are unsecured in nature. The terms and conditions of the loans too are quite flexible.
