I tried to get into some tom-foolery last night, but was unsuccessful. The stage was set for a little drinking in public while we watched a friend skate in a show. At the LCBO we couldn't decide how much alcohol was required for such an event so we all bought a mickey. Tom-foolery 1 Behavior 0. After hiding the booze in purses and jackets we made it inside and started the night off with hot chocolate. smuggled into our Bailey's. Tom-foolery 2 Behavior 0. It was so tasty and warmed our bellies in the cold arena, but after the second round we hit a snag. No more Bailey's. Tom-foolery 2 Behavior 1. It proved too difficult to move on to a new liquor so we had one more drink and gave up. Tom-foolery 2 Behavior 2. In the end we behaved. It's not that we didn't poke fun at lots of the skaters, or were horrified by the male figure skaters form fitting trouser. We did lots of that, but we remained silent and never yelled out - show us your titties!

Beating yourself up over a mistake is a self-deprecating act of masturbation. Even though I know I should get over it, it takes me far too long these days to move along from life’s little demonic scenarios. So what if I missed a meeting the other morning? I just plum forgot about it. It took some shine of the apple I left for teacher, but honestly wouldn’t you rather a person be human than perfect. Perfect people are far too freaky deaky with their rituals. They have something to hid and are probably sneaky little turd burglars roaming around neighbourhoods and rest stops.

These days I seem to be making plenty of mistakes whether a missed meeting or a minor parking lot tango. I sure must be learning a lot or fate has intervened to get me off my high horse.
