It's the New Year

And I've already had a new experience! :)

I got properly wasted last night - I actually puked up, which is a first for me.

Too much alcohol, too quickly, empty stomach.

But no, really, I am not an alcoholic, despite having gotten alcohol-happy three times in the past three weeks. Honest.

I've always been a very good kid. Don't believe in too much alcohol (the liver!!). And never drank much. Alcohol seemed too expensive and unhealthy a habit for me. But since the whole drunken-haze and debauchery seems practically a rite of passage for every youth, I've decided to dip my toes into it a bit - try everything once yeah?

I'm still not a stupid, out of control drunk, if I can be considered to have been drunk at all. What is the definition of drunk anyway? Sleepiness? Talking a little bit too loudly (hey... I just happen not to be able to hear myself okay?)? Hurling? Taking a (very short) nap because I was feeling sleepy and I didn't want to start being stupid? Running around saying "I win! I win! I win!!" because I've finally actually puked up as I've always wanted to for at least once in my life? (Remember the girl's motto: "Try _(almost) everything once". Cocaine, heroin, and as-yet-undefined selected experiences excluded.)

By the way, I was inordinately proud of myself for being such a neat, practical "drunk" - I made my way to the toilet very rationally and aimed my sick very neatly into the toilet bowl - all of four times. Flushed thereafter. I even washed up the bowl and utensils for the instant noodles that I asked my friends to cook for me. Chatted briefly to the cab driver on the way home.

I am truly a star. Bring out the pom-poms!! :)

I rather don't see why people kill themselves on the alcohol. The whole getting pissed thing is really rather over-rated. But even the getting sick bit wasn't as horrible as people made it sound. It wasn't too uncomfortable an experience.

I'm quite pleased with myself, because for a person who doesn't usually drink alcohol, and who's fairly light, And chinese, i think i drank a fair amount of alcohol, more than some of the guys certainly, and I was still in a pretty good shape.

Plus of course the wonderful, finally, much-awaited for puking. I had wanted to get that experience over and done with fairly soon, before I get too old to indulge in silly shenanigans.

GO me!!! :)
