#DryJuly has begun.  3 days into it.  Physically, I'm ok.  Mentally, I'm gonna struggle with the need for a martini after a tough day at work.

Updates as the month goes on.

I expect something similar to 30 Days of Eris, here.  I mean, not the same thing, but I want to see your perception of the world around you.

But will it be LEGAL?

No, but it should be.  Part weight loss, part detox, part self-diagnotsic.


Truth be told, I should probably do it more than once a year.

I am truly sorry to inform you that July appears to have 31 days this year.  It appears someone added one to fuck with you.

ive been thinking of doing the experiment which-shall-not-be-named, but not now do, oh no sirre, i think it should become a kind of discordian tradition.

Well, fuck.


Anyway, I really tested myself.  On Tuesday, went to a show.  Class Actress and Sleigh Bells.  Good bands, great show, and the first show I've been to without drinking probably since I was 18.  It was then I realized how awful people are at a show (or, perhaps, in general).  Pushy, over-privileged assholes and bitches more concerned over how they look than the band on stage.  No honey, shaving half your head and wearing ill-fitting clothes does not give you permission to push your way in front of me, spill your drink on my shoes, and then spend the show chatting with your friend.  Oh, another thing: I'm not entirely convinced that the show looks a lot better on the viewscreen of your smartphone, so put that fucking thing away before I show you how sensitive it is to liquids.

Then, yesterday, it was the 4th.  I took a chance and hung out with Team Vodka at a house party.  I was pleasantly surprised to learn that they're just as interesting as when I'm drunk.  We managed to avoid all jingoistic hype attached to the day and spent it just hanging out, grilling, dishing dirt, spilling T, and sticking our feet in the kiddie pool.  All in all, it was a marvelous kiki.


In conclusion:  My friends are awesome, and everyone else needs to die.  Apparently, this holds true whether I am drunk, or not.

So it helped you get a clearer view of who's actually awesome and what just seems awesome. Awesome! :awesome:

I gave up everything except cigarettes and on very small occasion, caffeine.
I think my drunken post was the first time I've drank in a year, and it was followed by a depression. I was dissatisfied with the results.
Year and a half ago I gave up green, though I wonder if it's truly a wise choice for someone manic depressive, since I had no bouts of it while I did indulge. Made life slightly better without the depressive side effects of alcohol for me, or the zombifying effects of medication that just makes life seem....existence. I was heavy into alcohol a couple years ago, so if it's part of your daily life and you're in day 4 and see amazement in people, damn dude good job :D
I thought this is all there is,
but now I know you are so much more.
I want to upgrade from my simple eight bits,
but will you still love me when I'm sixty-four?
