A couple days ago, after work ceased being too crazy, I had a crazy thought. I am going to do Blog-a-Vlogmas, where I write a blog post and make a vlog every day until Christmas. This will no doubt get harder on the days where I actually do get busy (still have finals and papers and problem sets) or when I don't feel with it enough to make a video or have nothing to talk about (which I often don't; my life is pretty mundane to most people). But I'm going to try because I feel like this year is slipping by so quickly that I don't know what to do with myself.
I should probably give myself an incentive to finish this project, but at the moment, this is still an idea from the whimsy of my mind, so we'll worry about that later.
Today's topic: Poor-ish Life Decisions
In my life, I admit, I have made a few poor life decisions: staying up and watching movies until 4 AM when I have a 9 AM class, not eating when I'm hungry because I'm too lazy to get out of bed, getting dehydrated when I know I could be/should be drinking water, etc. These seem pretty tame, mostly because I am not the type to get raging blackout drunk and have scandalous affairs that I can't remember due to my insides being completely jumbled up.
I have also made some questionable choices in life, mostly through my interactions with other people, though, because they have helped shape me as I am today, I don't regret most of them. There are times I could have spent my time more wisely, people who I should have spent my time more wisely with, etc, but overall, I am ok with how I turned out and where I am in my life.
Then comes last night. We were supposed to just watch a movie and have a pretty laid-back night, but the movie was sold out so we went back to BM's house to play some board games. Fine. Board games are wonderful. However, B has a pretty extensive liquor (and liqueur) collection, so there was some experimentation. Let me say that Rum Chata, Kahlua, Spiced Rum, and milk tastes like a coffee milkshake and is freaking delicious. This was not a poor life decision. In fact, there were no poor life decisions made last night - only poor-ish life decisions. Such as my decision not to sober up a little before going to sleep, which ended up with me waking up at 8 AM really, really cold due to not enough blankets and/or pajamas. Such as my decision not to go to the bathroom before going to bed, contributing to the rude awakening at 8 AM. Such as my decision to try to go back to sleep even though I really needed to pee just because it was too cold outside my covers to get up. Full disclosure: it's snowing right now. It's pretty darn cold outside.
All things considered, I had a really good night. We lost horribly at Cranium (not totally my fault), got creamed at Boggle (siiighhh BM/HH), and almost, but didn't really, come back at Catchphrase (which makes it seem like I had a really bad night at board games, but I didn't really mind). I drank more than was anticipating because I wasn't anticipating drinking anything, but have suffered no adverse effects besides dry mouth and cold feet. It's snowing outside, which is awesome. I've been waiting for it to snow. And Winter Formal is tonight. Even though there's someone I want to be going with, I have accepted that this cannot happen now, and have chosen to make the best of the situation. After all, Christmas is not that far away.
