drunk ... anybody else?

So ... I'm drunk.

Here's whats on my mind:
the girl didn't want to play after the party -- something about kissing me when I'm drunk not being fun. She was moslty sober. I figure she just ditched me for her logic homework. Or for another man, but that seems unlikely.

Nobody is returning my IMs.

I'm worried about my wizard PCs. Like Lucius. His spellbook is full and i think it may be quite difficult to get another one. Its a fairly low-magic world and while the DM believes any book will do, it still needs to be a fairly big and at least fairly blank book. Not many of those just lying around.

My game where i had a sorcerer character named Eolin has died, so i may have to get another name.

Also, I've got a barbarian named of Gamin. He's a dwarf. 20 con, and other ridiculous stats. 18 18 16 15 14 13 on 4d6. I figure he's the bestest dwarf... 13 in cha, one 18 in con. Makes him stupid good.


The GM in a game that is about to start (same game includes both Gamin and Lucius, btw) wanted us to make primary and secondary characters so he could kill at least one without ing over the player. A good and fairly sound way to go about it. Problem is, everyone, including me, made really cool secondary characters that in places overshadowed our primaries.

This is really close to DnD, but is also Greek....
My one character is analogous to Aragorn, while the other is the prophet of a God. Neither character can easily be killed before the individual story is over -- and Aragorns story isn't over until the whole world is his.

If anybody is interested, I'm drunk on gin and rum. We watched a freeky movie -- name of May. Anybody else seen it?

It makes my Paladin/necromancer (Lucius) look completely not freaky.

So um ... yeah ... there isn't any content to this post. How's everybody, and is anybody else nice n toasty tonight? (or any night, i suppose)


Also: Does anybody know why I always get logged out? (come on Enworld, help me fix this...)

And she's right... Kissing you when you're drunk isn't fun.

I'm sober (just got home from work) but not for long (pipe's ready as soon as I finish dinner).

Alas, sorry about the lady- I'm currently lonely and hard up as well. :rolleyes:

Eh. Being drunk is overrated. Just ask any glass of water. Girls are overrated also. Word of advice: Never drink with friends. You're going to regret it. It's a lot safer to drink with total strangers, or, best of all, alone.

And the best place to put your spellbook is to to tattoo it into yourself. Makes it hard for anyone to steal it that way, hmm? Put all your important spells where you can see them, and save the spells you only use in safe places for those areas of the body that will require several mirrors to look at.

drinking

I know all about drinking and girls, and parties, and takin them home, and waking up and being like wt---- did I do (kidding I'm not like that.)

But I did see May it was messsed up, reminds me of my ex, well current gf again. Love the glass and kids part it's so sick. Seen frailty today, nice small town movie that can be brought over into a dnd adventure.

About drunk, "Alcohol is the waste of little tiny organisms", and just because you think their waste (sh--) is good, doesn't mean it's good for ya.

I know, I drink, we all need to stop. But a beer or two while playing dnd or jaming out is nice. IM me sometime if you want to chat, it's "citiscape23" on AOL, I'm up from 2am til morning sometimes you can catch me online.

BTW I just finished my last bottle of jack, and I promised my girl I would stop. Now there are those bottles of wine laying around, and that beer that she didn't mention humm. Feeling like HOMER.

The board has detected that you are drunk, and is trying to save you from yourself.

HTH!

Look at you're adress bar. Is the URL enworld.cyberstreet.com OR www.enworld.org/forums?
The first one causes the problem you're describing the second one should work fine with no unwanted logging outs.

Oh and drink lots of water, it'll save you a hangover...

You and 0.7% of the earths population. So you don't exactly have to drink alone, just drink with one of the, what, 6billion x 0.7% .. or around 40 million.

The irony of drunkenness is that the other people you know best are the people you should least be drinking around. It is *FAR* safer to drink around total strangers than it is around your "friends". In any case, when I plan on drinking heavily, I lock myself in and bar the doors.

Huh? My #1 rule about drinking is that I never drink alone.

If being drunk is the sole purpose of drinking, it's just not right IMO. I drink and get drunk as a means to have fun with my friends. Whatever people say, drinking is fun!

Drinking alone defeats that purpose for me.

You know, this may come off as "prudish" or whatever, but are topics like this really appropriate for this forum?

I mean, I didn't say anything in this thread, but if these sorts of posts are going to become more commonplace, I thought I'd at least voice my opinion. For what it's worth...

What's next?

"I'm stoned right now!"
"I'm having sex right now!"
"I'm doing something thats really isn't illegal, or necessarilly wrong, but morally objectional enough to get me attention right now! Whoohoo!"

I thought this was what Nutkinland was for. :rolleyes:

You forgot the obligatory "I'm an attention whore right now!"

I agree, the whole I'm drunk this is really pointless.

Things don't get much more Meta than this. Off we go...

Make sure your browser is set to accept cookies. As for your girl not kissing you, there are lots of sites on the net that can help you with that. And I'm not saying another word, other than...

Thread closed. And good luck!
