The Hangover

Dear Hangover~ 

 

I was barhopping on State Street after a long day of class, work, and finally drinking myself stupid. Sometime around 2 a.m., long after I had lost my friends, I sat down on the curb to wait for a cab. Oddly enough, a State Street curb can be seen strikingly similar to a warm, cozy bed at bar close after a long day. Next thing I knew, the cops were hauling me off to detox. After several hours of being threatened with antipsychotic drugs, the crazy detox lady finally agreed to allow me one phone call. Instead of making the obvious rational decision of calling a worried friend or family member, I decided to use my call in a more productive manner. I called 911 and told them I was being held against my will. The very concerned 911 dispatcher asked me where I was I answered that I was at detox, and she promptly informed me that I probably belonged there and may have, in fact, been taken there by her coworkers. Sure shit, I got those antipsychotic drugs. 

 

 

 

Sincerely, 

 

Drunk and Delirious

Dear Hangover ~ 

 

I was invited to a party at the house of a friend of mine who lives at home and, as it turns out, had a bit of a crush on me. After more than a few drinks we ended up in her room, naked, but before we could get much further, her mother burst in on us and demanded that her daughter go upstairs to deal with some violently ill person, leaving me completely alone and naked in her room.I needed to pee, but didn't want to dress and leave the room in case she came back. My solution: Pee in an empty beer bottle left by another partier. It worked ... until a shout from another room in the house made me jerk my body around in surprise ... I had pissed into a dresser drawer she had left open, soaking the clothes inside. I covered the clothes in the drawer with perfume then opened a window and tossed the bottle of urine out into the yard. Then I got dressed and rejoined the party. 

 

Sincerely, 

 

Soiled by Surprise
