�Revelation: Drinking [alcohol] makes me really appreciate the day I wake up into, for no real reason. The problem being that I loose all appreciation for the night prior, mostly because I�ve forgotten that I existed the day before.� �Nemo, post-Omni

�Overly clumsy this morning, but it�s funny to *bump*.� -Omni

�some thoughts only possible with a slower processor...more errors because of system requirements (like the overloaded train, trying to squish onto a too-small track). Conclusion: one can only live by experiencing multiple states of mind. one state, prolonged, produces a stick-up-the-ass persona (Luther) while a spontanaic persona leads to �unsuccessful� levels of chaos (Goblyn)- someone in the background says �life sucks.�.� �Omni

Old Essay-Notes From Knapp�s �Drinking: a love story�:
��high-functioning alcoholic� calm and orderly on the outside, but screaming and writhing for another drink on the inside�
�Knapp calls alcohol �the drink of deception�, in that it gives you confidence, or happiness, but at the same time robs you of the ability to develop these feelings on your own�
�the irony is that drinking itself can lead to some of the situations that cause you to drink�
�drinking itself creates an excuse that is socially acceptable in our culture: when you wake up next to a stranger, or piss on a cop car, or run through the streets nude, and someone asks you why you did it, you can answer with certainty �because I was drunk� and the questioning stops there. this may even be part of the reason why drinking is so fun, because as a culture (but not as a legal system) we�ve accepted that a drunk person is excused from being dumb �Omni

�It seems no matter how much you�ve had, there�s a sense of accomplishment in finishing a bottle, followed by an acute sense of �what now� and �do I have more?�.� -Omni

"worker bees can leave / even drones can fly away / the queen is their slave" -a table-letter at a drunken art-party in which little art was made

�your body hurts because you went back on your promise.� �Omni
�PS: you spent all your money on vodka (next time get SKYY it's cheap).� �Omni
�if you can't find anyone else to love you, gimmie a call.� �Omni, to Becky
had a dream once...antibehvourist school (got on a bus with friends)...couldn't leave the rest behind and held yourself back in doing so...the prison of community/pity� �Omni (Nemo will elaborate on the dream in more detail later)

�March30. walking out of the side door of my dorm, careful to avoid the bits of rotting apples on the way out, i noticed random trash just outside the door. , i thought, and paused for a bit to prove to myself i wasn�t just absently thinking. it struck me that i�m part of a hangover campus�a giant clique of people who, regardless of sexual orientation, race, and socioeconomic background, have allowed themselves to be bound together with a common ally�alcohol. swore right then and there to abstain from drinking, indefinitely, minus dave�s upcoming birthday, for which the exception would be optional as best, and interlaced with worry if i choose to ally myself similarly again.� �Omni, rewritten by Nemo

�i�m drunk. why? it was fun�granted. but i have a midterm to complete in 5 hours�squeeze in sleepies�BA303�midterm�2d0!� �note found on floor near/under bed next day, after waking up, mumbling profanities, and last-minute crunching to miss the deadline for the take-home midterm, failed

�i have this one note from drinking which is oddly peculiar�it�s a circle of arrows, each with a different person�s name on it, �Blair, Samantha, Paul is not Matt, Dante = Mr. Sweet, Melissa�� and i suppose i was using this circle of names to keep track of who called themselves what, in the event i forgot who they were. how i might have managed to keep the paper in the same orientation after putting it into and taking it out of my pocket is still a mystery.� �Nemo, reflecting on note from Omni

�when you get drunk, every feeling is mutual...to the point that you think that every one of your feelings is mutual, and not just that feelings, on the whole, are mutual...only looking at one side of the equation. or maybe only one equation?� �Omni

�and something about talking to one of the 70-year-old librarian clones (not sure which one is the 'original') about that feeling you get when you wake up drunk, because you were drinking heavily early into the morning the night before you went to sleep. even the bloody librarians drink like fish 'round here.� �Omni and Nemo collaborative

May2. �very drunk. never drink again.� �Becky writing for Omni because his gestalt was just too sloppy (this was the precursor to a dozen or so illegible notes)

it's a different game every time you play!
