Last night was kati's brithday, and what a fun night it was. Other than one of the girls who was there. Who frankly I dont really like, and no one really does, so I really dont know why she was invited. And the worst part is all of the girls there are the ones I am going to the beach with on vacation, except her. So we couldnt say anything about the beach, which I might add is really hard when intoxicated. But she decided to drink way to much and pass out...so it was actually more fun afterwards. Which sounds mean...and I in no way condoning allowing people to drink so much they pass out. Anyways.....so I decided.....Im drunk why not send text messages, so if you got one last night feel special...you're a lucky bunch of folks.
So this got me to thinking, people who drink all eventually want to contact someone and tell them something, no matter who you are. So today we have cell phones, text messaging, and my personal favorite, aim. But what did the college kids do back in like the 80's or even like the early 90's? Did they miss out on this amazing concept of drunk dialing/texting/IMing and the next morning action of apoligizing for whatever you said the night before? How did so many couples get together if they never drunk called and said, you know what I really like you, and when I'm sober I'm to scared to say it? I find it very strange, very strange indeed. Maybe we should give all of these people a couple shots and a cell phone and see what happens. Maybe they'll call...maybe they won't. It would be an interesting experiment. And on a completly different but kind of similar note, since they didnt have cell phones or aim how did they ever make plans or keep themselves enteratined? Seriously everyone remembers when the internet went out at lasalle and we were so bored. And everyone knows the feeling of driving through an area and you no longer have a signal for your cell phone, you feel completly and ultimatly cut off. How did you meet someone for dinner? Or ask someone to walk with you over to the quad? We have become so dependent on these pseudo forms of communication that we no longer actually talk to people. I suggest when we get back to school, for one day we all should use no cell phone, turn off our aim, and see how we would get along without it. Actually having to go to people's rooms and ask them to walk somewhere with us. It could be another intersting experiment.
I must be missing school and all those science classes if in one blog entry I have used the word and decided to complete two experiments. I guess you can take the girl out of the lab but not the lab out of the girl. But I have rambled and contemplated to long so that's all for now, adios....

I hope she does not read your blog!
Q
Drunks in the 70s and 80s still had telephones, Liz!
Read "Slaughterhouse-Five." He drunk dials someone twice, and the book was written in the late 50s, early 60s.
Also: I gave you a clever book title for my link to you on my blog page. "Jane Eyre." Peace!

in other news: i'd love to have the reunion in jersey - i'll chat with the rents a little more about it and we shall begin to plan - muahahaha
You're very smart.
I dig it.
Woo, second comment. If you love Jane Eyre, I suggest you read Jasper Fforde's "The Eyre Affair." Very fun, clever novel.
In regards to the phone issue... Perhaps people wrote drunken letters and mailed them. While drunk.
::nod:: Yes, that's precisely what happened. :-D
