What not to do when you are 24 part 2 (25 if you are one of the freaks that do odd numbers) and your parents are going to be here in 7 hours and you are trying really hard to impress them with how perfect and great and successful your life is:
* Don't freak out and invite too many people over to drink with you, and keep you company
* Don't get into a drinking game where you are the only girl
* In said drinking game, try not to get a rule made that you have to drink 2 drinks every time you laugh (especially when you laugh too much even when you are sober)
* Don't think that it is ok to leave 24 beer bottles laying around your apartment, in hopes you will wake up in time to throw them all away before your parents will be here by 9am.
* Don't place a call to THE BOY earlier in the day, only to have him call you back (we all know what this COULD lead to)
* Don't take 3 shots of tequila after everyone leaves in hopes it will make you sleep better, simply because you think it will relive anxiety.
What TO do:
*get on the phone with your
Best good friend who has known you and your parents since you were sliding on the playground together and have them talk to you for 2 hours in the middle of the night to help you take your mind off things (when she originally called about her problems but was ok with you freaking out about yours)
* Do tell racial jokes to your black friend who roles his eyes at you but laughs deep down.
* Do decide that it is ok to role with the punches, and by punches I mean the worst verbal slurs, tomorrow and remember that no matter how bad it is.... there is always, free beer tomorrow night to cheer me up, Melanie home on the 17th, Brad for Lord of the Rings, and Diana for New Years in Tampa (Yep I said it, in TAMPA, Marci is going back in time and already planning the best trip to childhood ever), and maybe a scandalous affair here and there between various events. Yea, it turns out i have more to look forward to than i do to dread.
* Do find a midget to own. (ok so maybe I did not do this tonight, but hell if i mention it enough someone is bound to buy me one for christmas. (hint hint)
