A Bird Shat On My Head This Morning

It did. This morning was incredibly typical of the chaotic uselessness that is my life. You see, last night my gay friend and some of my other friends and i all chipped in for four six packs of various fruity mikes drinks, because they are tasty and delicious. Having said that, it is not a good idea for me to drink an entire six pack by myself in about forty minutes, because then i pass out on my bed for ten hours and wake up in the following state:

Hungover, with no idea where my phone has gone.

Usually, i have a vague idea of the room my phone has wandered off to after a night of drinking. Usually, its in my friend grace's room, underneath a pile of her laundry. One time it was lodged behind a bed that was not mine. And one time it was in my friend hannah's shoe.

But not today. Today, i meandered about campus, checking with security, the coffee shop, in addition to all the usual places. I decided sadly that i must have mistook it for a bottle last night and thrown it out. As I shuffled back along to my dorm, passing underneath a massive oak or maple tree, i can't really tell right now, i felt a large ping! on my head, and i realized that a bird had shat berry remnants onto my head.

Perfect, think i to myself as i run upstairs, shielding my head with my coat. As I wash the bird shit out of my hair, I begin to tear up. Partly because i am mid-menses and lack emotional stability, partly because i lost my phone and a bird has just shat on my head, partly because i have homework to do and i am not doing so well, and partly because i am growing tired of waking up hungover. It is not pleasant. I stayed in fetal position for about an hour this morning, positive that if i made any attempt to get up i would instantly collapse in a gelatinous state and die a gruesome death.

Yet i continue to drink myself into a stupor at least twice a week. Why do i do this? Boredom. a need to feel i am participating in the social environment. To build a little tolerance so that I DON'T GET TRASHED AFTER ONLY SIX LEMONADES. (That is just so lame, its not even funny.) Usually i stay out of shenanigans. Usually i just run around laughing and hugging people for a few hours before going to bed. Only a couple times has drinking ever really blown up in my face. We shan't go into those details.

I should probably stop before i kill myself or do something spectacularly stupid. Mayhap i'll get around to reevaluating my life, but i have greek homework to do first.

Peace out.

btw, i found my phone. it was underneath a sock underneath my dresser. How it got there i have no idea.

  1. To provide the old person's perspective, six malt beverages is actually quite a lot. If I drank that many I'd hurl.
