compassionate drinking

[adrienmundi]

I like drinking, and I'm not shy about admitting it. I also like talking to people, a lot. It's even better when the two are combined. I spend too much time staring at a computer screen, and not nearly enough time with real people, in a real environment. So, here's what I propose:

You and me, drinking in a bar (I also like bars, a lot). I imagine we'd talk about ourselves, ask questions about each other, and just try to relax into the groove of a couple of folks out drinking and talking. Think of it as an excuse to blame alcohol, if need be, for what gets said, but not as an excuse to be an asshole (that's where the compassion comes in).

This offer is open to anyone reading this (barring the misfortune of distance, in which case rainchecks will certainly be offered); all you have to do is say you're in, and you're in.

So, who's up for it?

Unrelatedly, I'm considering replacing all other honorifics (Ms, Mr, etc) with comrade. It satisfies and amuses me on several levels, but I'm not quite sure yet.

I'm in. When are we doing this?

[adrienmundi]

Monday, Brickstore Pub in Decatur?

[adrienmundi]

Assuming I've shaken my cold by then, that is.

[thegoodwill.livejournal.com]

I liked that place. They had trappist ale.

i am sooooooooooooooooooooo drunnk right now. hahahaha

[adrienmundi]

Hey wait, I just realized: soooooooooooooooooooooo drunk last night, sick today: I don't think a doctor can fix a hangover ;)

[aesthetic.livejournal.com]

oh quiet. drunk doesn't cause razorblade throat or stuffed up nose...

so drinking wasn't the brightest idea. *genius*

i got a doc appt. this morning - im not waiting 2 months this time...

[adifferentriver.livejournal.com]

I'm tentatively interested. :)

[adrienmundi]

Why tentative?

[adifferentriver.livejournal.com]

I'm less of a bars and crowds person... goes against my hermit-y nature. ;)

But, I could stand to vary my scenery a little, and would very much like to see you and possibly a few other people. Feelings are mixed. Keep me informed... comrade.

(i don't need an honorific... you can just use Suzanne... unless you would like to use, say, The Awesome)

i'm in (raincheck please) even though i don't generally like bars. though in california it's better (for me) because of the no smoking.

[adrienmundi]

Thankfully, the city of Decatur (where I live) has a no smoking policy, as well.

OMG. The 3 of us together in a bar--- like that place with the upstairs section we went last time i was in town. I'm so there.

(Except, of course, I'm not. Damn finances.)

[adrienmundi]

That would rock pretty darned hard. Pesky distance.

you know you have an eternal drinking engagement with me whenever we are in a 50-mile vicinity of one another. i, too, readily enjoy partaking and communing, just as you've described. i, too, have been feeling the introspection noose a little tight lately.

Unrelatedly, I'm considering replacing all other honorifics (Ms, Mr, etc) with comrade. It satisfies and amuses me on several levels, but I'm not quite sure yet.

i had a prof who constantly referred to his wife as, "my beloved colleague." it took us forever to realize he meant his wife. i love that honorific, and have deployed it on many an occasion.

[adrienmundi]

I do know that, and it makes me very happy :)

[servingdonuts.livejournal.com]

So, who's up for it?

Anytime.

No, wait, not really anytime. This weekend is out, and so is Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday. And also next weekend, for different reasons. And a few days here and there throughout the rest of February are taken already.

Crap. Can I check with my beloved colleague and get back to you? She knows when I'm free, even if I don't.

I vote wholeheartedly for the comrade thing. :)

[adrienmundi]

Check and get back to me, comrade donutserver.

As long as I can always use it in a Boris Badenov voice.
I like how "Dude" is starting to be decoupled from gender role.

I think we have an unstated agreement where this just tends to happen perodically. It's been a while, though!

It's been a while, though!

[adrienmundi]

This should change.

[ultran-ego.livejournal.com]

I'm in!

You mentioned Karoke too right?

[adrienmundi]

Um, no... me singing karaoke just might be anti-compassionate.

[celticmoni.livejournal.com]

I will see about Sprout arrangements, but otherwise, Ja.

[deviantbreed.livejournal.com]

If I could, I would... the intent is there.

[adrienmundi]

So, distance based rain check issued in your name.

Nice subject

[thegoodwill.livejournal.com]

I think it is about time to pick up those discussions...

Re: Nice subject

[adrienmundi]

Would you like me to initiate email, or do you want to do that yourself?
