    I think all of my non-fiction stories involve drinking or throwing up or traveling or a combination of all of those.

    Sooooo who wants to hear one of those eh

    @knitdan As a South Dakota resident I can tell you that your two days of experience here were exactly on par with day-to-day life.

    The only difference of note is that after you're 21 you spend less time being bored at home and more time being bored at the one local bar.

    It ain't as good unless you're sitting on a porch of a beach house, watching the storm hit the ocean. Which I plan on doing lots of this summer

    Also LS, I want a story that involves all of those at the same time.

    I had an experience that involved pregaming a roadtrip to New Jersey with franzia sunset blush to get White Castle at 2 in the morning (this was before Harold and kumar) then booting in the car and the vomit coming out red. So there's that

    the day after i turned 21 i went with my roommates to a party

    it was my first time really going to a party

    it was also my first time drinking any amount more than like a beer, slowly

    so i didn't realize how big of a lightweight i was

    i remember finishing the second tallboy. i remember opening the third. somewhere between starting to drink the third and like halfway through it shit gets blurry. i remember partaking in a push-up contest and calling the other guy a bitch because he wasn't going down far enough. i remember a portly young lass plying me with sex on the beach out of a gatorade bottle all night. i remember one of the DDs leaning in and asking if i was going to "go for it."

    and i remember drunkenly blurting, in between two of my many many blackouts that night, barely able to hold my head up, "i'm not that drunk" and the look of horror on the DD's face because he did not anticipate that response

    not my proudest moment

    my proudest moment was managing to piss without pissing on myself.

    Umm hmm.

    So one time I was studying for a midterm in my intensive Korean course where we had to write, memorize and present a dialogue with a fellow student. More precisely three dialogues of thirty-two lines each, one of which would be randomly selected for presentation. The test was on Thursday and on Monday I woke up with incredibly awful food poisoning/flu. If it had been a hangover I would have powered through, but I was just a wreck of vomit and pain. So I miss class on Monday. Tuesday is no better. Puke central.

    And I felt pretty funky all day Wednesday, but there was a test to prep for so hey, gotta study. I went in to school and over to my partner's house after class, where she ordered pizza fit lunch. Korean pizza is typically laden with things like tempura shrimp and mayonnaise. I gingerly ate a slice. We continued to study until seven p.m. at which time my partner's husband arrived home and I was like like "THANK GOD I get to go home now."

    Which is when her husband insisted that I come out to dinner with them. Despite my efforts to weasel out, they would hear nothing of it and finally I capitulated.
      
    I ate some food at the very nice steak restaurant we went to and did the world's most reluctant toast with soju before excusing myself. Sure that I'd survive, I made it on to the first of two buses that I'd have to take to go home, and in fact managed to maintain my shit all the way to the second bus when I got that feeling where your salivary gland starts acting up and a cold sweat breaks out...
      
    At which point I puked into my own backpack and carried it the rest of the way home.

    ah yes, the hyperactive salivary gland vomit alert

    I've discovered that I can often avoid vomiting altogether if I spit a whole bunch when this happens

    When I was a lad, my best friend was my slightly older cousin who was a horrible influence (and later, we found out he was a horrible person who should never have been near anyone ever) so one day, during the short period I lived with my father, my cousin brought over a case of Budweiser.

    My cousin, one of our friends, and myself were sitting in the living room drinking, this being my first time with beer found the taste horrid but there was no way I was going to admit I didn't fucking love this horrible fermented brew in front of my peers, so I keep drinking. Around the time I start on my third I don't mind the taste to much, or really much of anything cause I was getting pretty god damned drunk at this point. About halfway through this third beer, while watching some shit television show, I decide I want to see what my limit is. So now I really start in on these lukewarm cans of cat piss. One after another I go. My cousin and our friend have drifted off into a drunk sleep having downed 4 or 5 beers. I'm starting in on my 7th when I start to remember all those 90s DARE programs about people drinking to much, passing out, and drowning in their vomit.

    So now I'm scared I've gone and killed myself. Can't go to sleep or the beer will kill me. I've still got tons of undigested brew in my stomach when I realize that my body is about to violently reject my idiocy. I crawl to a nearby wall, dragging myself to a standing position while clinging to the blanket I've got wrapped around my shoulders for warmth. I feel like the world is at a 45 degree angle as I slowly make my way to the bathroom, unable to remove my hand from the wall for fear that I will instantly collapse.

    I make it halfway across the bathroom before I let loose. I vomit so hard I'm pretty sure some of it still got into the toilet and not just on the floor.


    And that is the story of how my dad found his 14 year old son, crying while trying to mop up the bathroom while wearing a vomit drenched blanket like a cape.

    I mean I was on a bus so spitting wasn't going to do me any good

    I couldn't get off because I was on the last dollar of transit money and had no cash in my bank account

    AND my phone battery was dead, even before I vomited profusely into the pocket where I kept it on my backpack. That killed the phone completely, though.

    when i was in basic i would have days where nothing would agree with my stomach

    most days i was smart enough to keep the next meal light, give my belly time to settle, and double down on the next one

    then came the day where i ignored my belly and continued to inhale food and as i was getting rid of my tray realized "son of a fuck i'm gonna blow" and immediately started sprinting for the bathroom

    i made it literally to the door of the bathroom before i lost it and projectile vomited all over the door from a foot away

    i had to clean it up too

    Back in 2004 I lived in this big house with three housemates. I had gone out to the local brewery/eatery to just hang out for a couple of mugs, when I ended up bumping into this Albanian guy and we started talking about how rad Europe is and what it was like during the Soviet collapse and we ended up downing the whole tray of pints that were supposed to go back to his table. Finally I realize that if I don't start walking home right then, I'm never gonna make it home, so I settle up and take off. On the way I grab a hotlink from a street cart and scarf it down.

    Once I get home, I can tell it's all going to come up, and my head is already pounding, so I go to bathroom and sit next to the toilet, waiting for the inevitable.

    Then I wake up in my bed, hungover but not as bad as I was expecting. Go to take a piss, and discovered the horror. Even though I was right at the toilet, I had vomited hotlink & beer all over my legs, the wall, and entire outside of the toilet. Took me all afternoon to clean up.

    Edit: I had slithered out of my vomit soaked jeans and left them on the floor.

    a story, in which I narrowly avoid certain doom



    Last night I went and had a few beers. I got pretty tipsy and was starting to get moody. That's typically when it's best for me to just go home and go to sleep, because if I don't, what happens next is that I make a poor decision.

    I tend to forget this when I've been drinking, and so last night was no exception.

    I started browsing some old posts of mine on Facebook via my phone, saw a comment from my ex-wife. We are no longer friends, on Facebook or otherwise, because a few months ago she got all salty about some comment I made (which is itself a funny story) and then decided to stage a friend breakup. My response, at the time, was, "That's fine, we're not very good friends anyway."

    So, I see this comment of hers, and I notice that she's got a new picture, which I tap for a closer look.

    This was a poor decision.

    I will not describe it, except to say that I looked at it and had no thoughts for a few moments; when a thought did arise, it was this sentence, fully formed:

    Mistakes were made.

    Which I thought was pretty funny.

    And I thought, "You know who would think that's pretty funny? The ex-wife!"

    Enter poor decision #2: I decide to relate this happening to her via text message.

    To which, after about twenty minutes, she replies, "wanna fuck??"

    Now, you all do not know this woman, so you do not know that this is a terrifying question. Without getting into our long and sordid history, it is enough to say that, were I a cat, my tail would have gone all bushy when I read this. Maximum awareness, is what I'm saying, because what's coming is either going to be really good or really bad and probably completely harrowing either way.

    (Yes, this is the woman I married; more than one person has commented that she's left me with some weird tics re: women, and apprehensive hyperawareness as soon as sex makes an appearance on the table is one of them.)

    I thought for a few minutes, then replied, "When you ask me that, I become very worried."

    "So, that's a no?"

    "More like, 'Yes, but I'm also waiting for the other shoe to drop.'"

    "And here I was thinking you were invincible to my hotness."

    "Only partially. And I routinely make poor decisions even when I haven't been drinking."

    "So I'm a poor decision?"

    This is called Picking a Fight. But I do not fall for it. I spot my way out of this locus of psychic enervation, and reply:

    "With a little effort, you certainly could be!"

    I have not heard back from her. Crisis averted.
    One final note: She has been known to read my posts on this board (though not, to my knowledge, since we divorced). Everyone wave to my ex-wife, just in case.

    Man now I'm trying to think of all the places I've puked.

    It's mostly bathrooms. And like some bushes. Once I projectiled onto a friend right as she was walking out of the bathroom that I so desperately needed. Oh and there was that time my freshman year of college at a place where I didn't no anybody where I was sitting indian style on the floor and just kind of puked in the gap between my legs while nobody was paying attention and just kind of sat tight and walked out a bit later.

    alright sonicgirl story, take 4 or whatever, i've told it a few times

    freshman year of high school, new girl showed up

    she seemed pleasant, looked like winnie the pooh if he were a human female, but she just had an off vibe about her

    i found out she liked sonic, that was okay, i liked sonic the hedgehog video games at the time too

    it turned out she really liked sonic

    she made a list of people who were her friends, and she wrote sonic characters next to them

    she wrote super sonic next to my name

    during pride week, one of the days was red + white day, the school's colors

    she made an Amy Rose dress out of duct tape

    she drew herself as a sonic character and drew sonic characters during class

    she wrote sonic fan fiction, she told a story to her friends that i had the misfortune of overhearing when i was in the computer lab before class started

    sonic turned into a baby and shadow had to change his diaper

    she eventually got blocked from the school computers for looking up sonic porn

    she moved away in junior year

    to this date, she is the only person who's asked me out
