I'll always keep the light on for you, you tried so hard to be alive, what else could I do?

Misleading lyric title aside, this isn't an angsty post. Just thought I might explain a bright idea I had this week, and how it turned out. Hint: not well.

Bright Idea: Don't bring money to the unibar, that way you're not tempted to drink.

Real Life Result: You say you can't drink, you have no money. Boys buy you drinks. You are tempted ( they're pretty!) but refuse (they're kinda pushy). They do not get the hint, but they're apparently really close with your friends, so you find an excuse to leave the group. You spot  someone you know, a girl from law tute who also insists on buying you drinks. You accept from her, because you don't  want to seem rude. She proceeds to try and get into your pants. In the bathroom, no less. Because apparently after nine beers she suddenly likes girls.

So you then have to carefully explain that yes, she is hot, and yes, you do like her, but she is so very drunk and you're pretty sure you're straight and it really is going to end in tears for someone.

Argh. My life. Seriously. but on the other hand, I think I'll get my media assignment finished by tomorrow, which is aces. Also, I've been having fun on political_macro , but am sad there is no Aussie equivalent. Or if there is, that I fail so much I can't find it. Our politicians are totally weird looking enough, and do stupid enough things on a regular basis!

I've done the 'don't bring money' out thing a few times. Generally around people who will not buy me drinks, or if they will, will definitely not try and get in my pants.

It was weird. I mean, I'm not the girl that guys all want to buy drinks for. That's sexy girls. Not me. It was all very odd. She was sweet, though. I made her drink some water and she was totally embarassed and apologising an hour later. And I was all "apologising for what? I take it as a compliment!" which surprised her, I think. I get the feeling she was expecting a freakout.

Lol.

Woah 0_0 That's got to be one odd night. Lol, I generally find a way to drink anyway, sadly.

Hey, toss some of those troubles my way, you obvious hottie. X3

I keep forgetting that other countries don't have to wait as long to legally drink as we do. XD

Damn, that's some crazy stuff. Sadly, I could've seen the no money: MO' problems thing right away, but that's only because I'm lucky enough (or maybe not, now that I think about this) to have had the only people that have bought me drinks be either friends or family (I used to go out clubbin' at the goth places with my brothers and sometimes my sister-in-law).

I know they do the world, not just America: you might want to try Pundit Kitchen (http://punditkitchen.com) (they have an LJ feed).

Ahhhh, I'm sorry about the 'I'm gay when I'm drunk' girl you had to deal with. That's never fun. =(

You should totally start an Australian politician comedy comm - I bet they'll be loads of fellow countrymen willing to play along! =)

[fourleftxaviers.livejournal.com]

Mmmmm, damned if you do, damned if you don't. It sounds like you handled it all well, anyway.

[greenpixiehair.livejournal.com]

It was rather odd. And not even night! Started around 2, I fled by 7. Every single person on my campus is a high-functioning alcoholic, I swear.

[greenpixiehair.livejournal.com]

But I'm nnoooott! That's why it's weird!

Yeah, we get in early. Boo yah :D

[greenpixiehair.livejournal.com]

It was ok, in the end. It's not like it was a hard decision. Even if I did like girls, she was way to hammered. Not cool.

Ah ha, that would be awesome, but I have no internet skills at all! I couldn't start a comm :P

[greenpixiehair.livejournal.com]

I was rather naive about the whole idea, wasn't I? Ah well. It turned out ok. Interesting, but ok.

Thanks for the link!

[greenpixiehair.livejournal.com]

Why thank you! I hope I did. Cos she's nice. (What's a little drunken gropage between friends, really?)

:P

[kitsunesan.livejournal.com]

That's obviously not true if you're getting hit on left and right. *poke*

[greenpixiehair.livejournal.com]

If I weren't paranoid about the internet I'd put up a pic and PROVE YOU WRONG.

:P

[kitsunesan.livejournal.com]

Email me. Because I don't believe you. *raises an eyebrow in challenge*

[slug-belcher.livejournal.com]

Ugh. Totally lame!

[greenpixiehair.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Turned out ok, though.

[fourleftxaviers.livejournal.com]

LOL. Absolutely. 8D
