Embarrassing Behavior

Beth left a comment that triggered a thought in my head. Kudos to Beth for accomplishing the nearly impossible!

Oh, wait - that's not the point. She mentioned pigtails and I responded back to her that I was safe in not committting that particular fashion faux pas because I never put my hair in pigtails. And then the thought hit...

Sometimes I do braid my hair but I don't secure it with anything. Why? Because when I braid my hair, I am invariably drunk. Sad as this sounds, it's one of a couple of things that I do as a matter of course if I am drunk. Several other things that I do:

1. Cry over songs (although I can do this when I'm not drunk, too, it happens much more frequently when I imbibe)
2. Sing louder than the loud music that's playing (I can also do this when I'm not drunk but when I imbibe, I think I sound magnificent!)
3. Bite my nails - why?? And to go along with this one, when I have had acrylic or tips on my nails, I will rip them off my fingers one at a time until my fingers are bloody and sore. Why???

For those of you who occasionally partake of the evil drink, do you have any strange behavior patterns that emerge when under the influence?

I bite my nails when I'm nervous and sober. It isn't pretty, I know.

Merry Christmas, Empress! I hope your cold has gone away!

Uh. Yeah. Guilty.

I have a habit of calling up The Boy in the middle of the night and telling him we can't be friends anymore because it's "too weird" and "other people don't get it and I'm sick of explaining it" and "doesn't hanging out with me completely interupt fates chances of putting the REAL Mrs. Right into your life".

After all these years he's never once given those words any consideration at all.

Thank DOG!

I'm a very happy drunk. I'm the person who walks around hugging people saying "I LOOOOOOOVE YOU!" I'm also really bad about drinking and dialing. I've been known to order things off of infomercials, then have no recollection of doing so until the item appears in the mail and on my credit card bill. take it from me, don't drink and dial this holiday season.

I think I've had too much to drink tonight and indirectly this *has* to be your fault.

By the way I LOVE YOU EMPRESS!

Smoke...even though I never had the habit. If I happen to be a drunk bridesmaid, I smoke cigars.
