OMGOMGOMG.

After a fortnight or arguing with various computer sites/the bank/computer sites for the bank, I have finally managed to order, book and print off the tickets providing me with transport to the residence in which Pads and Ansela currently reside.

I get to spend Hallowe'en weekend with 'em. :D Oh, my liver is going to be complaining... it'll be so worth it though. XD

HAPPY CASSIE! I pity your liver, though.

Hmm... three drunk PPC agents on Hallowe'en. I am going to love seeing the kind of creativity this results in. :P

Honestly, you all have such terrible ideas about me. I'm not actually an alcoholic. :P

So what time does your bus get in? Only I've got stuff to do up that end on Friday, might as well time it all so I can come and meet you.

...No really. I'm actually not. I'm also actually quite offended. Not by you personally, Sedri dear, but by the thinking behind.

I like a drink.

I can have a drink.

I can handle a drink.

I am NOT a fucking alcoholic.

Just because I can have a drink and I can hold my own and I like a drink, this DOES NOT MAKE ME AN ALCOHOLIC.

This makes me an alcoholic by your standards. Newsflash! This makes you a fucking teetotal wuss by not just my standards but also by the standards of everyone I've ever met. I live somewhere where PEOPLE DRINK. Fact of life. Not weird, not an odd personality trait. People, real life human people who actually have the vaguest inkling of a life, here, they DRINK.

I know you're not personally having a go, Sedri, but I really do feel, once again, that I am on trial for living somewhere where drinking is the norm, and for actually daring to conform to that norm. I know everyone we know online, they don't do this, they don't do this Having An Offline Life shit, they don't do this conforming to norms shit, they don't do what I do. But I do. I'm sorry, but I do. I DO go out, I DO go and have a drink, I DO go and talk to the random people who are about, I DO see them twice a week, I DO consider them friends, I DO know the one thing we have in common is drinking in the same place.

I DO know I AM NOT A FUCKING ALCOHOLIC.

I like a drink. I can handle a drink. I have a drink. If this is alcoholism, then it's not that I've a problem, it's that your mindset is seriously fucking screwed. Now will you please stop suggesting I have a drink problem just because you live in a different world to me?

And sorry, Sedri; not a personal rant. Just ranting at a mindset I see thrown at me way too much, and you've borne the brunt. No hard feelings or personal comments meant.
