I'm reading an AU highschool fic at the minute.  I have to take a moment here to laugh furiously at the notion that British sixth formers wouldn't be getting absolutely staughtered at every opportunity.  They keep having house parties and drinking coke!   It's an AU alright!  I've never drunk more than when I was 17!  After that it just wasn't as much fun anymore. 

I have now bottled and tasted my first elderflower cordial.  It is lovely!!!!!!  I wasn't sure I'd like it but I was bored and mum does so I decided to make it and I am very much liking it.  It's really refreshing and light.  Yay!!!  I now have three wine bottles of the stuff so plenty to go at.  I'm so proud!!

I have the most intense craving for fish and chips right now but not just any fish and chips, oh no. 

I want fish and chips from The Warrior Celt Irish pub in Ueno, Toko, Japan. 

I can taste the bloody things!!!  This place did the best fish and chips in Tokyo, and, trust me, we did extensive tests during my gap year!!!  This was the place where I discovered that I liked my fish with ketchup and my chips with tartar sauce.  Where I drank my first Sex on the Beach cocktail.  Where I got rather drunk most Fridays after work with Barney and Terry.  It was perfect, just down the train line from my home, basically my local that year.  Also reminiscing about The Hub in Takadanobaba from the year abroad coz that was our local that year... ah, Irish pubs in Tokyo, how I miss you.

I have got to go back to Tokyo soon.  I'm starting to have taste hallucinations!!!

 I just slept for over 24 hours.  

I didn't even take any melatonin coz Lucy and I were drinking and I know it knocks me out and makes me all groggy if I drink then take it... and yet, here I am, over 24 hours later, only just getting up.  

I'm totally weirded out, not only coz it happened, but coz it was a true full 24 hours sound asleep.  I haven't got up once, so I haven't eaten or drunk or even gone to pee!!!  Which may explain why I'm feeling all wobbly and disconnected. 

Oops, well, if my body was able to do that then it probably needed it... unfortunately what I need to do is my bloody dissertation!!!!

Em: The lastime I was drunk from alcohol...
Me: You get drunk on other things??

The best thing is I'm the one who's just had half a bottle of wine while watching Stardust, Em is supposedly the sober one!!!!!

(Sorry Emily, it was too good to keep to myself!!!)

I have an exam at 10am tomorrow.  But I really really want to get drunk.  My bottle of Jack is looking at me and I just feel the overwhelming urge to get absolutely plastered and do something stupid.  I'm gonna have to pencil that in for next week once I get my essays done.  But right now I really really want that Jack. 

Kaluha milk on cocoa puffs FTW!!!!!!!  
Alcohol on breakfast cereals is the way forward!!!!

I was doing so well last week!! I was organised, on time (mostly) and I had a packed schedule. It is only Monday night and this week is falling apart!!!! I need to get prepped for my presentation on Thursday with Lucy and I organised to meet her at 11am tomorrow but I don't want to. I need to work.  I have to read up on Angela of Foligno for MS.  I MAY have a meeting about Mongolia. And I haven't had time to do the reading I need to discuss stuff with Lucy anyway!!!! I meant to do it tonight but...
I fell asleep again.  I'm really trying to keep a normal sleep schedule.  Which means waking up at 8am every day.  The thing is by 6pm I'm exhausted and fall asleep.  Given that I have a crapy chair or my bed, the bed is where I sit most often and it is far too easy to just fall asleep but my chair hurts my back!!! So now I am watching Grey's Anatomy, reading up on MS and drinking kaluha and milk.  I'm debating whether it could be construed as alcoholic tendancies if I put kaluah milk on my cocoa puffs... I think it could be a wonderful invention!!!!

ETA: Why am I watching Greys Anatomy????? I should be working or sleeping.  Television is not a coping mechanism, it is procrastination!!!!! What is wrong with me????
