[livejournal.com profile] z_gryphon once pointed out that if you only read my livejournal you'd get the impression that I was a total lush. This is because I pretty much only post anything other than basic link-dumps when drunk off my ass, and a couple of years ago when he pointed this out, I was drunk a lot.

Well, I'm drunk now. So there. First time in a while to be really rip-roaringly schnockered. I've got a bunch of folk songs about being a long way away from the person you love queued up and I've got the pathetic remnants of a bottle of 15-year-old Laphroaig that I am shamefully abusing. And here's a post! I'm totally fucking lonely! It's Valentine's Day, a manufactured holiday that I traditionally feign contempt for but really think is kind of nice! My girlfriend, who I love more than anything (ANYTHING. Fuck you too if you think you can come up with something less than which I love her.) is a long ways away! And I am posting to livejournal! It's so goddamn emo I can hardly stand it. I'm going to fall asleep soon, probably while still drunk, and it will be totally not exciting at all! It'll just be pathetic and terrible.

So, here you go. Comment screening is off. Post anonymously or whatever, go to town. This is your chance. Proclaim your immortal love, swear your undying emnity. Do it. Say it. It doesn't have to be about me, but my superego, fetters cast off by the demon drink, would totally dig that. But really! Anything is good! Anonymous posting ahoy!

This is doubly entertaining when you go to the comment view and it gets the hearty-shmarty LiveJournal Valentine's Day banner across the top.

See, I've got these little glasses... They're German, and they're labelled with deciliters-- 0.1l, anyway. So I have this bad habit of filling them up to the mark, which appears to be 3.3 ounces. I am on my third, and feelin' pretty good. I'm going to drink some more water soon.

You know, you didn't even say WHY your woman is a long ways away.

And seriously, buck up! My boss's grilf drove to LA to hang out with some friend who had an in at the Oscars, and he was stoked. "No V-Day pressure!"

Anyway, it's fine to sound emo, so long as you don't LOOK emo. If you're wearing a tight black t-shirt with your hair plastered on your forehead, i'm flying over there right now to kick your ass.

Because she's in California! She's doing an internship at Nvidia! It's totally cool. She will get an A and graduate with honors, and not that it matters because UCSC thinks she's cool already. Which is why we're moving there, and why I want to have sushi and sake and/or beers with you when it becomes more a matter of driving for 20 minutes or half an hour than a matter of 9 or 10 hours of obnoxious airline travel.

Ha. I have an Informatik T-shirt on, and it's kind of tight but only because I am bad at laundry. But, like, I wore it to a show and the guys from the band were, like, "Dude, where did you get that? We only sold a couple of those, and I thought they were only to people we knew!" and I was like "Dude, I totally mail-ordered it!" and they were like "Dude, you're the one! We wondered who that was!" and it's totally INDUSTRIAL but early-90's Boston Industrial which is a Thing All Its Own and not like I bought a Skinny Puppy t-shirt somewhere and think I'm all rivethead as a result. It's real fucking INDUSTRIAL FAN-BOYISM in your face, bucko. YEAH. Take THAT. You totally owe me a beer in California. AN INDUSTRIAL BEER.

Yes! I'll do it! I proclaim my immortal love and undying emnity for you!

(...no, wait. That's not right.)

OK, I think I'm going to go have a drink. Schnockerage is unlikely, but alcohol seems like a good sort of thing when the world has been lovingly plastered with slush and then flash-frozen (for posterity, perhaps). Chain booze reaction!

[And: you're moving to CA? "Cool/argh" says my brain, with the cool majorly outweighing the argh since I so rarely see you offline anyhow. :]

You drunk = these three memories

1) Your demand that we lean against one another and sing and make them think we're drunk. Oh. wait.
2) Your assertion that not only was coke and pernoit (sp) tasty, but you'd like some more please, you'd like to be more than my friend please and a demonstration of your dancing ability, because I said please.
3) Your declaration of love for Kelly's knees and your vitriol, in that moment, for me.

These are among the strongest memories I have of you, live and in person. Yes. You are a lush. You are also a brilliant writer. I used to live for those letters.

I knew you before you were cognizant of Depeche Mode. I have audio of your 16-year-old self. To thee, I raise a heidehimmel, and then I smash the glass and dance on it like a toast that you will come to my natal land. May we drink something actually palatable together whence you come into California, you and I and your lovely gal in some fine sushitorium.

You know, while I thought it tasted awful, it is, in my memory, a -lot- more palatable than some of the other drinks we mixed that month, and a lot less frightening in appearance.

You know, of people I am still in touch with and not actually related to, you've known me longest of any. You were there for my jump from incredibly sheltered childhood to confused and screwy adolescence. Heck, you caught the brunt of it, and that you still actually talk to me at all is testament to your patience. I didn't even know much music before then, and much of what I started listening to was because of you, meaning that you are responsible for a pretty significant chunk of my musical taste. Then I headed off to WPI and [livejournal.com profile] kviri and [livejournal.com profile] trystero took over as the introducers of new things, and now [livejournal.com profile] stophittinyrslf.

I still have the mix tapes (and Gymnoblastics tapes) you sent me...

I hope I do get to see you again sometime soon. And yes, you're in wonderful wine country, so if we can't find something great to drink, it'll be our own fault.

So, we're even. You got the brunt of mine too. You will soon be returning the favor on introducing me to new things, music first. I'll ask my brother & dad for recommendations on som fun and tasty wineries, since they are usually athte helm when I go tasting, and have the better nose for it.

I love you even when you're drunk. Of course, that could be because we were getting drunk at the same time....

He didn't bring a condom. You would have been far brighter, I'm sure.
