Oh how I wish I was by the sea and could use the above talked about swim-cure.

I thought a little exercise might chase the bastard off but it appears I have just made the bastard angry. Urgh.

I'm sure I didn't eat anything with carpet in it yesterday, so why does my mouth taste of Axminster? Urgh.

Last night at a birthday party, a friend of mine (who was waaay more drunk than I was and who also was quite the wrestler in high school) puts me in a headlock, and throws me over his shoulder head first. For some reason, my neck, back and knee feel like a mallet were taken to them. Plus, I'm still hung over.

Last night I played really competitive drunken Twister, and today I ache in so many places it's unbelievable.

Oh, hell. It's one of those behind-the-eyes throbbing thingies. I hurt.

That'll teach me to mix Bloody Marys, wine and beer in massive quantities. Maybe.

Who knew that a glass or two of syrah would make me want to peel my skin off?

Considering yoga. Or sitting on my couch in a quasi-ennui state slurping coffee and watching Book TV.

I'll take votes:

a) yoga
b) ennui

my brain feels crinkly. like there's tin foil in there. not sore, just.... broken.

Woke up to the realization that not only did I have entirely too much whiskey and punk rock last night (as evidenced by Professor Angry doing the tarantella on my cranial lining and Sacharissa Soreness chewing on my calves) but that I drove home last night in spite of my completely incapable condition. Much worse was the realisation that I chose to do it because it occurred to me that it would be a very good thing to die by driving drunk.

This was fairly disturbing because it was the first time that I had a strong suicidal impulse in over two years and while none before had ever expressed itself with the sentiment "Bwahahaha! That would be a great way to die!" it was still a startling retrograde.

Not wishing to diminish your pain, dude, but if you do plan to kill yourself, any chance you could do it in a manner less likely to kill other people as well? They are actually more important than you in that specific situation, and you get bonus points for disposing of yourself in a considerate and environmentally friendly fashion.

Bastard Tweed

07:49 / 03.07.06

You're telling me! I was shocked to realise I could think something like that. Most people just do it because of criminal negligence or stupidity but I was actually aware of the probable outcome and somehow thought it was a good idea. Hangovers are infinitely worse when accompanied by the realization that your drunkenness facilitated a distinct nadir for your behaviour as a human being.

And just to clarify, I'm not being another poster saying "I'm feeling (x horrible feeling) please do make with comfort" as many do. I'm not in some personal dinky danky doom world right now which is why it was such a surprise that I was capable of coming up with such a bad idea.

Just that, it having been a truly horrible hangover for those duofold reasons, it sprang immediately to mind when I saw the thread.

And why the fuck is Withnail and I on TV as I was writing this?

Some random movie channel. Cease your slanderous implications television! I am not and refuse to ever be Withnail!

Ah, that does sound like a particularly bad hangover, Boboss. I'm sure it isn't true, brain chemistry and all that as in the thread title, sympathies in any case.

Thanks.

Oh.

I'm not entirely sure last night's fun was really worth vomiting pizza (WHOLE ONION BITS FOR EXTRA DISGUSTING DETAIL = ROCK) into the toilet, sleeping for four hours, waking up nauseous and HEADESTRUCTIONish and being for an hour at the dentist (with the mouth, of the puke, and the alcohol, and the badness, wide open, wide open, explored, further disgraced) and well, three and half at school to ask for a fucking photocopy, all the while feeling that maybe, just maybe, there's something I should be violently expelling from by body - with knives of deadly accuracy.
And my stomach is still trying to be all fatherly, patting me with loving condescension, making my innards nervously blush. Or rot.

Succintly: Oooh.

Weird weird weeeird champagne hangover. Champagne hangovers are not like other hangovers. They're so light that one wonders, constantly, "am I still drunk?" This one's making me feel quite giggly and fluffy at 8.45 in the morning, which is a bit of a first.

It was very good champagne, which helps. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this morning's hangover.

ahhh found it...

My 2 sisters have done it to me again... I can't remember getting home last night and I said I would have a quiet night.

Usually I can hold my booze with the best of them, but fuck, I don't want to blame the yummy dinner I ate.

This morning, I start puking as soon as I open my eyes. What the? I didn't drink that much from what I can remember??

I keep walking around in circles literally. My body wants to do something, but it won't tell my brain what it wants to do. It pukes when it wants, my head is killing me all over and I can't hold water down. I am supposed to be prepping a concrete wall with a hammer drill so we can stick sheets of plaster to it. I haven't felt like this since I got off my trolley in Istanbul on a bottle of Raki.

I am fucked.

Please tell me I can go home.

I'm torn between crawling under my desk or crawling into the employee restroom.

Something inside me has died. Or something crawled into me and died. I can't decide.

Quantum

10:12 / 10.10.06

That's funny, I was thinking of this thread this morning and posting to it that something had crawled inside my head and died. But I don't have to now, partly because I don't feel too bad and partly because AdL has already used the phrase. (I thought you didn't drink for this reason? Oh wait, I'm not helping much am I...)

Tryphena Absent

10:43 / 10.10.06

Well yes. I don't. Except I have.

I do drink. So you'd think I'd be used to this. But it sucks ass.

They're so light that one wonders, constantly, "am I still drunk?"

Just for future refernce, should you ever find yourself asking this question, the answer will always be "yes".

Kali, Queen of Kitteh

14:20 / 10.10.06

Man, the whole "well, no headache and no nausea" hangover is tricky. You may not have either of those things but then you try to go about your day and you realise, "Holy shit, I'm still drunk."

Why is it that the simple addition of a pub quiz to a night's drinking makes the hangover so much worse?

And oh, the humiliation. Not only did I get the fucking Footloose question wrong, but I had to explain our choice of team name (The Enumclaw Horse Incident) to the entire pub.

pointless & uncalled for

12:59 / 11.10.06

And now you will have to explain it to all of us.

No really, you will, I;m too lazy to google.
