Yep, after the chaos of my 21st last year, yet another year has passed, and to make it more memorable, it's probably my last birthday as a student. Time to pay homage to studentdom methinks and do what all students know better than all else.......DRINK!

Those of you, who are reeling in horror at the realization you're in the presence of someone who drinks that horrid evil alcohol stuff, might have missed the point that it's his birthday. Have a good one, Hamayoon! 8)

Orion,

I shall have a drink for you tonight to celebrate your birthday. Actually, I'll probably have several drinks tonight.

Crazy.

Besides, Ham isn't 100% correct. There are other things students can do at least as well as drinking. Procrastinating, for example. Or sleeping. Or watching mindless quiz shows, and Cartoon Network.

Which is good. But you forgot all the mindless, casual sex.

Well, it's my fiancee's birthday today, so I can take care of the sex part.

Mindless casual sex, though?

Posted by Quatre Winner (Member # 464) on :

Sure! Why not? It's part of every college student's agenda. Or was that something I read in a pamphlet?

You'd probably need a break, otherwise you'd just knocker yourself out. Unless your stamina is as legendary as a certain person who shall remain named, and the name shall be "Simon".

I once had a pastor named Pastor Bob.... he told my Confirmation class that when it comes to arousal, "women are like crockpots and need time to simmer and let it all build up. Men are like microwaves and are ready to zap it anytime, any place, and very quickly."

He also told me that because I was in Band, I was going to go to Hell. And he told my band teacher that too.

He's not my pastor anymore.... I didn't much like him.

Thanks for all that everyone. I was in an Irish pub last night, (about as Irish as you can get in Bristol anyway), so there were plenty of lewd Irish chanties and plenty of dancing about in there, and I could just about make out the reciting of some statistical thermodynamics theories after several jars.

Friday and Saturday have been designated my birthday drinking days too:

Friday, a crawl down a two mile stretch of road notorious for its cocktail bars and loose women

Saturday, a couple of bars and onto a club notorious for its loose women.

So knock back the drinks everyone, get some mindless casual sex, IT'S PARTY TIME!

Excellent idea, Orion. And Happy Anniversary of Your Birth - may you survive to witness many more of your planet's solar cycles.

I wish I had the will to go on a bender like that. I've been off the beer (along with everything else) for 15 days now, and I'm pissed off.
Went to a nightclub on Monday night. Sober. NEVER AGAIN!! I'm absolutely dying for a cold pint of cider and a few vodkas and orange/Red Bull, but I've saved a fortune overthese last two weeks, so it's not all bad.
Yes it is. I SO want to go on an all-day bender i.e. lectures, dinner, into town, drink.............................club............... .......drink.............gurlz...........supper...home. ........bottles/cans.........bed..............lectures.

*surveys plan* Can't see a flaw, can you? Now I need smoeone to come with me...

There's no flaw in the plan at all. Besides, there's 43 days (44 if you count today) of practice left before St Patricks Day.

You can't go to Hell if you're in band.
People in band are ALREADY in Hell.

Yeah, I was in band for nigh on 8 years.

I go out far too much these days. I can't afford it. Which is actually kinda worrying considering how much I make now. Last time I was out was Saturday, actually. Didn't intend to be after Friday (which is another story), but I was on Tottenham Court Road buying expensive Egyptian cotton sheets from Habitat, when I get this call from a friend of mine who's in a pub on Euston Road, drowning her sorrows. Been there all day, in fact. Not good. She's split up from her BF but they're still living together until he finds a place, and it's driving her to drink (well, to drink even more than she does normally). So I pop round there (it was an O'Neils, and had a Guinness-sponsored countdown chart to St. Patrick's Day, which is what reminded me of this story), find her much the worse for wear, so we have a few drinks, then go to a really nice restaurant in Soho. It was a good evening.

St. Paddy's? Oops, I'd actually forgotten about that. And besides, I've got Rag Week, the IPSA Conference and my project to contend with in the meantime.

Aah yes, O'Neills. I've had many a good night out there. They do however seem to have this policy of only employing people with Irish accents, at least at the Bristol one anyway. I've been served by countless different bar men and women in that place and everyone of them seems to have an Irish accent. Is it the same everywhere else? (apart from in Ireland where you'd probably expect them to have Irish accents)

GA: I do sympathise. I'm facing this too, having just handed my dissertation this Monday gone. The timing was good anyway with my birthday falling two days after hand in date. I'm taking this week off which is why I'm going out on these benders. Today and Saturday we'll all be going out. Sunday, 11am, we'll be playing football whilst recovering from the hangover caused by the previous two days. Then Monday, it'll be back to the grindstone and no more serious drinking until at least the exams have finished in June.

You know, Orion, that's very wierd what you said about da football - I got hammered drunk last night (A pound a pint!), and some of us took on the postgrads in our department in indoor soccer. Oh my head. And I haven't eaten properly yet. Oooh.
ANd I normally never play sports.

There are a ton of very different Irish accents, the worst ones being the "Munster Whine" prevalent in Clare, Cork and Kerry and the "Knacker"/"Mink", which is very common in Dublin.
