I Should Wear a Helmet...

...when I drink. GAH! Does anyone else wake up in the morning after a big night of drinking and take stock of the injuries they sustained the night before? Here are mine:

1. My legs and back are sore. Did I dance? I don't think so. I don't remember dancing. Was I wrestling? Did I climb some trees? Did I get into a fight? I remember nothing of the sort, so why the hell am I sore!??!

2. I have a gigantor scratch above my knee going up my leg. Hmmm...I guess I need to cut my nails. Or it was from the branches of the tree I apparently climbed.

3. I count three new bruises on my legs. Let's not even go there.

4. I have a bruise on my jaw. On my jaw, people!! I don't remember getting hit...I don't remember passing out and hitting my face on anything. I have NO IDEA what would give me a bruise on my jaw. Just talking about it makes it hurt. WAAA!

Also, if you are going to drink excessively with people you haven't seen in ten years, be sure to actually eat the salad, chicken and potatoes that they serve you. Have the cheesecake, too! Because when you wake up in the morning and it feels like stakes are being driven into your forehead and you are two seconds away from the dry heaves, you will want to kick your own ass for not eating anything except for cheese and crackers three hours before the party.

How come after ten years, the girls mostly look the same, if not better, and the guys all look 'puffy'? And I noticed that most of the girls left their Significant Others at home, but most of the guys brought theirs. Hmmm...very interesting, it's like their trophy. Anyway, I will try to post pictures. I don't even know what I took pictures of and am kinda afraid to look.

On an unrelated note, Casino was an okay movie, but the soundtrack KICKS ASS!

I'm not a drinker but I do get my share of unknown injuries. It's just a talent, I guess. :)

You were probably climbing trees. I mean, just LOOK at the cool trees you guys have in California!! Cindy-Lou even posted pictures of the cool trees you all have. I think she just did it to make me jealous.

We have maple trees. Pine trees. And um.. ok, that's pretty much it. You wouldn't climb them since they aren't as exciting as Californian trees.

Maybe you were trying to get the coconut to put the lime in?

HAHA! Beyond, you are too funny! Perhaps that was exactly what I was trying to do. I am gonna have that song in my head now! And really, palm trees are boring! They only result in palmetto bugs, which, if you read my bug story, are really just put on this earth to torture me!

Cindy, yeah, I hung out with my same friends I always see, too. I talked to a few people, but pretty much stuck to my friends. We are so anti-social!

My ten year was last year. I didn't go. I was so happy to leave high school that I figured WHY go back and see a bunch of people I really didn't like?

Apparently everyone must have thought the same thing because I was told only 3 or 4 people actually showed up.

Andm ew, I read Envoy-ette's story about palmetto bugs and I don't think I would want to invite them up here. You can keep your pretty, cool trees in the States. Thank you very much. :)

I once woke up in a tree. Honest. One minute I'm standing in a bar, ordering a whiskey and discssing the potential effects of inflation on the economy with a friend - next thing I know, it's morning and I'm in a tree. I guess I must have decided the economy was doomed...

Ian, you are freaking me out that you woke up in a tree! How did you balance? OMG! You are an elf! Hee hee...ummm..interesting drinking conversation. I would hate to tell you what I talk about when I am drinking (it mostly consists of horrible off-key singing and hurling insults at whoever happens to be closest to me).

And I am delighted to hear that I am not the only one who sustains drunken injuries! We should start a support group!

Grace, if they have it at a nice hotel, just get a room and go. I had pre-party drinks in my lovely ocean-view room and then woke up and ate room service in my lovely ocean-view room. After dinner, I pretty much left the reunion and had other drinks in the bar. It was fun!
