Drunk/Sober Characteristics
So I've decided that to become a well rounded person you can try to combine your drunk and sober personalities. See if I could take all the things I like about how I act when I'm drunk and bring them into my sober life, things would be great. I think I'm a better listener when I'm drunk. I'm more spontaneous, I worry less, I'm more sociable. If I could bring those things to my sober personality, I think I'd be more well-rounded in a bizarre kind of way. Now we all know we do things and say things when we're drunk that we wish we wouldn't, but stuff like that is significantly harder to eliminate than the converse. I think one of the things that has changed about me over the years is that I am able to bring some of those drunk characteristics into my sober personality. I'm considerably more sociable, more outspoken than I used to be. I certainly don't worry as much as I used to and I'm much much much more spontaneous. Okay, I'm not that spontaneous now, but jeeze before it was downright boring. I think that so many people drink to bring out that side of them that they can't express sober. I think that was one of the problems back in Athens-I drank to bring that out. Now I feel like I'm just making that side of me that I like come out on a daily basis. Not to mention I've been pretty good about not saying or doing stupid shit during those oh so hazy nights. Knock on wood.
-I cooked an awesome dinner with my roomate Kristen tonight and it was just really fun. The dinner by the way was sausage, pepper and scallion stuffed acorn squash basted in molasses-it was ridiculous. I felt like I laughed pretty hard and had a genuinely fun night without going out and going nuts. I didn't really drink and still laughed, still had a great time. It's nice to be living a healthier lifestyle-well at least compared to before. It's great that I just randomly fell into a living situation with such genuinely good and fun people. Although I'm not gonna lie, once in a while I miss the drama. I'm sure they'll be plenty to come.
