Jenna's House of Idiosyncrasies Version 10.0 [Focus.]

She appears composed / So she is / I suppose

I am not as young as I used to be.

This is a scary thing to be saying at the arguably young age of 21, but lately I sometimes feel like I am physically falling apart. Today while I was sitting on the bathroom floor, exercising my gag reflex, trying to get myself well enough to go to work, I thought over and over again two points that I've got to learn to take to heart:

  1. My tolerance is no where near what it was at 18 years old
  2. I don't have to prove anything to anyone, least of all to myself

These are easy things to think the day after. The night before I felt fine. Seriously. I thought I would sleep it off, easy as pie. I was wrong, and had to leave work early to keep from passing out—or worse, throwing up—on my keyboard. I came home, crashed on the couch and slept into the evening.

I feel like I lost a day. I might as well have blacked out.

Time for some real change.

Speaking of blacking out, I have to say that I do not remember writing this at all. What the hell was I doing awake at that time?

Jenna, I woke up still drunk after our outing on Wed. So I know how you feel. It was the weirdest thing in the world driving home durning Athens "rush hour" feeling the way I did. And by the way, I don't think it's that your tolerance isn't what it used to be, I think your just drinking more often than you used to. That can make a difference.

I freakin' love the song from which your title is derived! I didn't know I knew anyone else that knew it. But I should have known... But yes, painful realizations, epiphanies and the like. Welcome to our age. Isn't it wonderful?
