The morning after the morning after.

RECOVERY: The art of picking myself up off the ground and bandaging the sore bits all over again.

RETROSPECT: The realization that today’s credit card statement should have directly influenced the prior week’s spending... Hmph.

I must say- this year’s hangover was epic. Or perhaps I should say *is* epic, as it is *still* in full force. Everybody else seems to be walking REALLY fast and talking REALLY loud, I have a fabulous new collection of bumps and bruises in REALLY inappropriate places, and I basically have little-to-no recollection of Monday night.
Mission Accomplished.

(I usually try and avoid the whole belligerent drunk thing, but hey- it *was* New Years)

Anywho- I’d just like to say something. I got a lot of messages and calls and whatnot on Monday. (And only one of them called me a dirty cheating whore, so that’s nice;) Whether it was a seriously sincere little note, a shared experience short story, casual distracting banter, or an invitation out- I just wanted to say Thank You.

It was kinda like this: I go to a diner and order French Silk Pie. The waiter- he tells me ‘You can’t have that’. Bummer, right? Then the people sitting at the table next to me order a slice of Caramel Apple Pie and send it over. Eh, it’s not the same... Then I eat it and realize Caramel Apple Pie is pretty spiffy too :D

So yeah. Thats my way of saying- I really appreciated that. Thank yous.
