WOW.

I CANNOT hang like I used to.

While some of you who know me well could hardly call me a homebody, I’ve settled down a lot over the past few years. But I’m still young, strong, and energetic.

So that’s why I thought I could go to a great Halloween bash on Sunday night and tough it out at work on Monday. A small sacrifice to pay for celebrating my favorite holiday in style. No problem, right?

UGH.

As what always happens when I begin the night with the statement “I’m not going to drink too much tonight“…

Well, I guess you can pretty much figure out what happened. The same went for everyone in our group. While the alcohol consumption did not come close to some nights I’ve had in Chicago, we all had more than enough to drink.

(And no matter what you say, Quixotic, you were not THAT bad! On behalf of the crew, we would do it again for you anytime. Just remember, it happens to the best of us.)

The pain at work today was worth the memories:

• Pimp Daddy G., Richie Tenanbaum, Cat in the Hat, Vampire Couple, Earl, Diaper Man, Birdman, Go-Go Gal, Mz. Bunny & The Pharoah, The Pimp & His Pussycat, and Yours Truly, the Pirate Wench
• Dancing the buzz off to Bumpin’ House DJ Ben Watt
• The upstairs outdoor patio
• Quixotic coming out to play for the first time in awhile
• Confusion at the courtyard of my apartment post-Vanguard
• One of my favorite people waking up in the morning still drunk
• Knowing that I have a great group of friends in Hell-A to enjoy Halloween with

But I’m slowly figuring out that my body cannot handle a few shots of Makers Mark and several glasses of Cosmopolitans like it used to. Could someone please remind me this the next time there’s a party that I have to attend on a school night?
