Well, needless to say I have drank every night this week..EVERY night, and its been going since last weekend, so technically I am on night 12 of a binge! (My binges have lasted for months upon months but swore when I turned 26 that I would retire my rockstar ways, grow up, save money and be a more productive human being to society)
WELL....
NOT WHEN YOU HAVE FRIENDS LIKE THIS GIRL! Lisa is half Russian, half Italian - but in my opinion, she is 100% Russian. L is my very best friend, lifeline, therapist, she's Janet and I am Chrissy (there is a Jack but he's away at the moment). She holds all of these titles as well as being my colleague. Most people would not be able to tolerate one another as much as she and I do, but it works. We are honest and upfront and admire one another for the ability to morally offend people while consuming Vodka by the gallon.
L during spinning class - "I am still so hungover, lets go for a drink after work” (sidenote, L has three weeks left to write 8,000 words for her dissertation. She, who is typically the sensible one, is clearly not at this moment)
M – “I need to go to East London to show my old flat and pray someone takes it so I don't have to keep paying double the rent! I really shouldn't. I am trying to be sensible this time!"
L - "Meggie, you are the one who always says 'Thursday is the new Friday'. Come on. Not a big night out, just a few drinks"
M - "In case your memory has failed you, I don't know the meaning of a 'few'. Lets talk closer to 5 though because everything is subject to change."
M @ 1:50pm (approx 10 minutes after we return from the gym) - " So Big Chill tonight?"
L - "Oh, now you wanna talk bars?"
M - "Don't judge me!"
I am the poster child for self control! Well, at least I am doing my bit for the economy!
And so we did. And then we met a few bartenders and I was ready to party it up. Lisa was the responsible one in the end and called it a night!
I could not be happier that you have found your other half in London. She truly was a pleasure to meet and I know that when I finally come visit, we will have several fantastic evenings together.
ReplyDeleteJust as a side note, I will share with you how sick I have been as a result, I'm sure, of going out all the time. I can't say that I've been binge drinking, BUT, I rarely say no to hanging out and well...it lead me to the emergency room the other night because my fever was 103.6 for more than 6 hours and my loving mother was very worried. I have to just relax..I'm fine. Don't worry. But I will just share that with you as you move onto 13 days of binge drinking. I love you too much to see you as sick as I have been.
Can't wait to see you Meggy!
Well I on the other hand am appalled I tell you, just appalled! These two lovely ladies, who once dressed like movie stars for a very important birthday party, counting binge days! What ever will you think of next. Seriously though, save some fun for those 30 and 40s. They should be fun too.
