I was drunk...

When I run into people who've been out at the bar for a few hours, I always assume that 90-95% of the words coming out of their mouth are bullshit. This number increases to 100% if said person needs assistance being carried to or from the restroom or out the door. I have the tolerance of a 98 lb runway model and as such you can pretty much guarantee when the words "cock" "masturbation" or "I can't believe I'm saying this, but..." start flowing from my mouth that I AM DRUNK. I understand that, so why can't others? A bar is no place to defend why you like someone or why you don't and it's certainly no place to say, "I don't hate you, I just meant..." Ultimately we should all be held accountable for our words and actions, but there are times when the words coming out of my mouth are total bullshit and Fridays at Sam's anytime past 8 it's a good bet that the words I spew forth (the bad ones anyway) are total bullshit. If you expect others to not hold your drunk words against you, you should give them the same courtesy -- that's all. I'd like to think that someday I might not offer, "Oh, yeah, sorry, I was kind of drunk," as an excuse, but that day is not yet here. It's not a good thing, it's just the way it is. And please, please don't try to pull Oprah with me (you know who you are) and make me defend my issues. Bar therapy is just too cliched, even for me.

I'm happy to see I'm not the only one who gets emotional hangovers...

Does this tie into the overnight pillow fight excusion story?

I'm not emotional, just annoyed. If you're going to use that excuse, don't be a hyprocrite and not accept it from me. I use it rarely and I'm not all that obnoxious when I'm drunk (really), but give me a fucking break.

And I have no regrets where the pillow fighting is concerned, Jason.
