Ethanol (aka Alcohol)

I deleted one of my blog entries , called “Stupid and Typical”, and I owe an apology to all the people who left me comments on that blog. I hated that entry alot. It sounded like I was begging for attention … not that I never beg for attention; but naming a few authors and directors is really not my style; I’m more of an … whatever… let me tell you why and how I wrote that blog.

That night I came home from a party, and my friend Ethanol kept following me home. I had to invite her in. She wouldn’t go away. We went to my room and she saw a bunch of undone work on my desk. I ignored her and started playing with my Nintendo DS Lite when she grabbed the DS and said “very nice, you’ve conquered 7 Mario Bros. worlds in a matter of 2 days, but hasn’t finished your last book after 3 months”. So she jumped behind the computer and started writing the “Stupid and Typical” blog.

I wake up in the morning and find her gone. Her bed is empty. I look at the crumbled sheets. She’s left behind her bag full of headache and thirst. I yell “YOU SEXY BITCH! HOW MANY TIME SHOULD I PROMISE MYSELF NOT THE BE LURED BY YOU?”. It’s too late though.

I take shower, make coffee, sit at my desk, when I remember that I wrote something in my blog the night before. I can smell trouble. I turn on the computer. I’m so scared of reading my entry that I hide the blog window behind the news window and tell myself “people died in a car bomb last night; who cares about your blab in a blog”. It doesn’t help, since dying in blasts -thanks to our wonderful world- is not news anymore. So I read my blog -“bitch, bitch, bitch”- and I just hated it. I’d already got in a lot of trouble for an entry written by her; this one had to be deleted.

Moral of the story? Not only don’t drink and drive, but also don’t drink and blog - or if you’re like me don’t drink at all!
