(at the bus stop)
Me: I don’t want you to go. It is sad times when you go.
Him: You’ll be busy! Doing stuff. Won’t even notice I’m gone.
Me: NO. I WILL DO NOTHING BUT WATCH FUTURAMA AND DRINK WHISKEY.
Him: …instead of watching Futurama and drinking vodka?
Me: Totally different. Whiskey is sad drink. Vodka is happy drink.
Him: ……
Me: Ok, I lied. They’re both sad drinks. I AM A SAD PERSON.
Him: *hugs me, and then gets on the bus to leave me for a long sad time*

In 1773, a popular pamphlet called The Alarm attacked the monopolistic intentions of the East India Trading Company. The Alarm's dogged reporting of the Company's exploits in Asia and its control over laws governing America convinced many colonists to stage the Boston Tea Party, as well as similar anti-corporate protests in Annapolis and Charleston. Today, Wall Street and K Street interests pose an existential threat to American liberty and self-government.

Whiskey, to me, is the drink that I am not allowed to have because I make people cry. Liquid courage, I suppose, but it’s a good story to tell… XD

…every drink is technically the drink that makes me make people cry. I get mean when I’m drunk.
Mean and slutty.
So, you know, me sans filter. 😉

I am a big vodka drinker and learning to like rum (THANK YOU PAPA LEGBA). But, whiskey has always been that drink that just makes me go ten steps passed crazy. I almost miss the ability to open my mouth and say, ‘You want to hear something?’

I can’t drink rum anymore. Used to love it, until I had way too much with the wrong kind of chaser. Four hours of vomiting in a bathtub later….

That’s how I feel about blackberry brandy. I used to *love* it. But, after having the hang over from hell, the love has since fled.

Oh my gods, blackberry brandy sounds delish.

It tastes like cough syrup if I remember correctly, but it’s DELICIOUS cough syrup. Also, it goes great in coffee.

Funny conversation you two. My fave is Canadian whiskey, and it just makes me really, really affectionate and then I fall asleep. I would never make it as an alcoholic, I can’t stay awake long enough to get plastered. My daughter tells me I just apologize a lot, “You say, ‘sorry I didn’t make you lunch before school that one day,’ and ‘sorry I told you I wouldn’t braid your hair.’ It’s pathetic.” Hm

This made me laugh. Especially the bit about making lunch before school that one day. Totally the sort of odd specificity that should be part of drunken apologies. 😉
