i'm drunk

Ty- They told me that I've gotta be sedated! Did you get sedated?
Or just the nasty hairspray stuff?


*waiting for bRaT's long story :D
 
Yeah, I was sedated....I was out for about 10-20 minutes. You will probably feel the tube initially enter your throat, but by the time it reaches it's destination you are out......It was kind of cool. Here is what they told me: You do not have an ulcer, but your stomach is basically nearly ulcerated (lamens terms here) in some spots. It will heal, but you need to quit drinking anything with caffeine, any dairy (yeah dairy), any citrus, and no booze! No spicy food or greasy food either!! Plus, you need to eat a bunch of pills like aciphex or prevacid. Those fucking pills are like 3 bucks a piece, you eat 3 of those a day for 9 months - that is a chuck of change!! Anyway, I adhered to this horrible regiment for about 9 months - and still had acid reflux, so I said "fuck it" I'll go back to coffee in the mornings and beer on the weekend, and see how bad it is. It is no worse. No better either, but no worse. If it gets worse, I'll go back to the doctor, but I just figure it is something I'll have to live with.
 
Okay my junior year is when I went into my goth phase, and met all sorts of new and "interesting" people. (80% of them were posers that I didn't pay much attention to.) My friend April had this irrational fear that if she didn't say goodbye and give a hug and kiss to every single one of her friends, they would die in a horrible accident (she was feeling guilty that her friend was mad at her when he died). So every time I left her, I got a hug and kiss. This labeled her . Then we went to my friend Brie's Sweet 16 party. I was sitting on the floor, minding my own business, when April tackled me, landed on top of me, and a camera flashed. At the same party, two freshmen, Holly and Jackie, start doing god knows what in the chair in the corner. On Monday, I hear about how April felt me up at the party (her hands never left my hair but you know how stories go) and also that our two "best friends" (barely knew them) were lesbians. A week later, April kissed me on our way to homeroom (no tongue or anything, calm down boys) and this kid ran up behind me and threw a bagel at me and hit my bookbag. So I had a nice cream cheese smear on my bag all day, which of course my friends had to try and convince me wasn't cream cheese. Since he was a rather popular jock, everything he said about me and April was believed to be true. Then word got out about Holly and Jackie, and it was decided that EVERY girl within 100 yards of those two were also lesbians. The principal found out what was going on, and Holly and Jackie got called in. He reamed them out about how "inappropirate" their behavior was, and called their parents. Jackie's parents sent her to therapy and had her put on Prozac. Holly decided it was too much work and went back to guys. April kept kissing me and everyone else. Most ironic about this was the fact that I was so in love with my friend Mike, I could barely even think straight anymore. FINALLY, after over a month, I overheard someone say "See that girl? She's a dyke!!" And I thought, oh how lovely. I thought it was funny. My best friend Michele was upset because I was a "lesbian" and she wasn't. She was waiting to hear that about herself. She felt left out, because April kissed her too, and no one was talking about her. It was the biggest joke in school (to us, anyway). So then I was sitting outside during lunch one day, and some of Mike's friends decided to fuck with Jackie (which made no sense to me because the metalheads usually stuck up for us, rather than start shit) and threw a rock that hit me in the shoulder. It swelled up to the size of a baseball and turned purple. I couldn't even carry my books. So later on, I saw Mike and he's like oh look there's Christine and I was like fuck Christine and her fuckface friends and I got into a huge fight with him and he saw my arm and he freaked out and went and kicked the kid's ass for me, and Christine wouldn't talk to him for a week and I was so happy because he knew her longer and he still stuck up for me. Then I told him about how everyone thought I was a lesbian and he was totally shocked, because even he in his complete oblivion, caught on that "you are straighter than anyone I know, you know when they build a house and they use a 'straight edge' to make sure the walls and windows are right? YOU are what they're using" (I always found that conversation interesting). So then FINALLY, one day, after I just got done taking my math final, I was walking to meet Michele and I heard the girl behind me say, she's a dyke, her and that girl Michele she's always with, and I ran to tell Michele and she was so happy that she bought the beer that night!! April has refused to have anything to do with me since I moved out here, so I don't have any idea where she is or what she's doing, although classmates.com says she's a teacher and she's married. I'm still in contact with Michele, (who, by the way, is a party girl that I no longer have anything in common with, but I still love her just the same). I always wondered if the gossip was that bad because it was such a small town, or if it's like that everywhere.

So there you have it. I know it wasn't what you were looking for. :rolleyes:
 
bRaT- Your principal was racist against lesbians. There's nothing wrong with being gay, as long as you're a hot girl.


Ty- Thanks for that ulcer info. Did your stomach ever hurt so bad that you had to call in sick to work? Mine did. And when I was in South Africa, I was sick, and my ulcer was killing me. I thought I was gonna have to shoot myself to get rid of the pain.
Did your stomach ever hurt like that?
As long as I take Protonix every day, I'm fine.
 
Doctors are your friend. Eventually I'll go on another non caffiene non alcohol sabbatical, especially with that new miracle ulcer cure all they have out now. My last insurance company screwed me over the whole scope deal (i had an apendectomy the year before) and they suck now. Insurance companies suck dick. I'll be getting bad-ass teacher insurance soon though (the best part of the job really, that and the summer off and the retirement package) and everything will be cool. But right now, my life is too crazy to give up caffiene and booze for that long - maybe I am crazy, but those two things gimme sanity.
 
bRaT- Reverse discrimination is bullshit. I would have hated being in that school.

Ty- I understand what you're saying about the drinks. I'm not much of a coffee kinda guy, but I'm definitely a beer guy.
*slurps Guinness
But like we discussed earlier, when I don't have a girlfriend, I drink more.
 
Yep. With my last girlfriend, she always wanted to go out and do stuff, that I thought about beer a lot less than I do know.
I understand exactly what you mean:
If I had a girlfriend to come home and do all that domesticat shit, I'd hardly ever drink
Except, I would still drink, but not as often.
 
Ditto that. Drinking wouldn't be on my mind or on my list of things to do. As a single guy, going out drinking with the guys sounds much more fun than say, staying home and reading a book on Friday. The funny thing is, it seems that people in relationships hate the lack of freedom, and us single guys hate being alone. I'm glad I get to work with kids everyday, 'cause they are cool to hang out with. If I had to sit in an office all day, or (gasp) work at a factory all day - I'd already have pulled a Kurt Cobain. Of course I'd leave an anthrax record playing to get the boys some press!
