TBWCYL Day 171 - Houston, we have a problem

I feel like crap today. Why? Well, I got a tad bit drunk last night at a friend's party and subsequently vomited in the bathroom, over the railing on the front porch, and if memory serves correctly, also on myself. It started getting a bit hazy as I sat hunched over falling asleep on the front porch while an acquaintance named John continuously handed me cups of water and kept saying "Trinity, Brother. You need to drink some of this."

The main issue with getting so drunk last night was that it prevented me from doing my task. Yes, that's right. I didn't do my task yesterday. I was suppose to stay up all night and not go to bed to better utilize the hours that I normally would be sleeping. I planned to go to the party, stay late, go grab breakfast around 3 a.m., and stay up all night doing odd jobs around the house. Well, when I woke up shirtless on the couch, not at home, with John on the floor and another guy on the other couch, I realized that I failed on day 171.

I never expected not to accomplish a task before. I move days around all of the time to make sure that none of these things is impossible. But, there is a silver lining. Flip ahead a couple of days to Day 173 - "come up with your own Book page idea!" Eureka. I can retroactively do this because I can take what I did last night and use it as an idea for the book. Woohooo!!!

So, Day 173 is now Day 171 and for my task, I deem that Day 171 was...

Drunk Dial someone today.

Get rip roaring drunk and call someone. Tell people what you really think about them. Be expressive. The later the better.

The best part about this is I did this last night without remembering. I called Diana on the way home and was informed that I had called her last night. I do not remember this. Here are some of the things I said.

"I am soooo drunk"
"Allison and Ryan aren't even here" (they were suppose to be)
"I want to have sex with you sooo bad right now"

I also proceeded to tell her all about the party and many other things. She told me it was later in the night but before midnight so I did this yesterday.

Side note: I went into my call history to see what time I called Diana and found that I made another call that I don't remember. It was to my friend Allison, who as I said before wasn't at the party. I have no idea what I might have told her but I have left her a voicemail to apologize anyway.

So, the streak continues. I am disappointed in myself for having to cheat like this but either way I was going to have to come up with something for Day 173 and I think my retroactive idea was keeping more in line with the ways of The Book than anything I could have come up with.

That is all,

Newt

Haha ... I wonder what you said to poor Allison!?! :P

Trinity said...

Well, apparently I got her voice mail and left a message to the extent of "I am at the party and you're not. Everyone is drinking. Woo Hoo!" She saved it so I can listen to it later.
