Great song, unlike her own, so yeah that would be fine. As would 'Hit me with your best shot" by Pat Benatar but only towards the end......................
I know this is random, but - I think I'm gonna give the alcohol the elbow for a while. I'm gonna start drinking it less frequently, and probably not for a couple of weeks, maybe more. I only started drinking really at 19, and when I first started to enjoy it, It was really exciting, It felt great, so I drank it often to get the buzz. But recently, I've started enjoying it less. I don't often get a buzz from It anymore. Most people's reaction to this, would be to drink stronger stuff, but I personally don't feel the need to drink alcohol anymore. I suppose that's a good thing. I've never drank alcohol because I needed to, or had the urge to. I always drank it simply for the buzz, and now the buzz is gone, I don't even wanna drink it anymore. I've just done it a few times recently, to hope that I might get the buzz, but It never comes. I can understand why a lot of people become alcoholics, if they haven't got much to do, but I have plenty of hobbies in my life to keep my occupied. Alcoholism can start out of boredom.
Maybe. Did you only start drinking during the 'close season' Tash? Maybe now we're playing again, you don't feel the urge.
Well, If I was addicted to the stuff, I'd agree, but I have a lot of cash saved up, and a litre bottle of vodka only cost me 16 quid per week. But no worries. I'm giving it the elbow. I've just got a few xbox games that I'm really into, so they will keep me occupied. No point in drinking alcohol if I can't enjoy it. And drinking more than I am right now, will make me sick and the last hangover I had scares me from drinking too much. I stop at 2 vodka and cokes, and the amount of vodka I put in, is around 8 shots, I think. And that's my limit for the night.
I don't get the terminology. But I started really getting into alcohol around September last year. Even though It wouldn't work for most people, I miss the days where I could get tipsy as **** off 6-7 alcopops. Yeah I was a pussy, but since I don't go out on the town, and need the endurance or anything, I liked it. I actually enjoyed it back then. I've enjoyed it up until recently, where I just have to swallow foul tasting stuff, for no real reward. It relaxes me, but the amount I'm drinking, and the effect it's probably having on my health, isn't paying off in the pleasure. I'm drinking around 28-32 units a week. Doctors say a man shouldn't drink more than 21 units. So even though I'm probably drinking the same or less than most people, I personally think the right time to nip it in the bud, is now, while I'm young and it's not had much effect. Best just to start using it occasionally. It's probably been because from March 2011 - March 2012 I was unemployed, and since then, I've only had a part time job. I discovered a lot of things in that time. Alcohol was one of them.
Ah fair enough. I thought maybe you'd only started because you were bored in between seasons. No point drinking for no reason, so you're right to give it the elbow. Better for your health and yor bank balance.
By the way Tash, how did you get on with that job opportunity you mentioned a few weeks back? I had 2 weeks way on holiday, so maybe missed an update.
Agreed. To get a buzz now, I'd have to drink more than I'm comfortable doing so. I'm on average drinking 3-4 times a week, and It doesn't do much for me. I think I should just stop for a couple of weeks, then try just drinking once a week after a toon game, or max 2 nights spread out evenly over the week. I remember once a few months ago, I didn't drink any alcohol for 8 days, and when I drank it again, It gave me a powerful buzz. Probably a good idea.
Still waiting for a response. It's been 5 weeks. They usually take a while to respond. They don't normally take this long, but they either respond with "sorry you've not been successful", or "we'd appreciate you coming in for an interview", they never leave you in the dark. So I'm hopeful. I've found a few other jobs available in the hospital I'm at. If I get one of them, I'll be so damn excited. It would be a full time, permanent job, and I could have my own place, probably by christmas next year. I have about 7k saved up right now. I wanna be near double that before I move out. I'd prefer to be financially secure before I move out. Having my own place and being financially secure, and having a full time, permanent contract job, at 21 years old, would be a dream.
Well just imagine what kind of buzz you'd get if you stopped ****ing between now and the Sunderland game and then Shola scores the winner!! There would be widespread flooding.
Gone very quiet in here, have a good day tomorrow everyone, and let's hope for 3 points at Chelsea tomorrow.
Cheers cbra. The bar has been VERY quiet. We may never get to 19,000, let alone 20,000. My head says we'll lose 3-1, but something inside is telling me we're going to sneak it. But which is right, head or heart? There's ony one way to find out ...FIGHT! or wait until after tomorrow's game to see what the final result is.
After years of heavy drinking I finally had to admit to myself and others that I had a problem. I took it on myself to seek medical help and finally got to the root of the issues which were ruining my life. I only had one mouth...
