I swear it was only apple juice!

So, in addition to my usual hijinx this semester, I also decided that I wanted to try not to drink. I'm 21, so of course I've had my share of drinks, but, the allure of it is quickly wearing. I agreed to go with Amy to a series of parties last night (including one at our place). "I don't want to drink," I said, when she asked me to go and mingle. "Take something with you then!" she told me. So I picked up an Apple&Eve juice box and headed down. Some people started teasing me, but I maintained that "it's what all the cool kids drink" and how the apple juice was "200 proof" because it was 100% juice (get it)? Surprisingly enough, I convinced other people to start drinking apple juice, including Amy, who didn't want to drink that much either. Together, we started a trend of apple-juice drinking. The second party we went to was ok, but I didn't really care that much for it because neither of us knew anyone. The third party... well. That was full of math majors, so I felt right at home. I met up with two Computer Science and Math dualies, and we had a grand old time talking. We traded horrid pickup math and cs pickup lines ("nice equation, wanna fuck?" and "you should come home with me so I can show you the size of my L2 cache" were some of the winners. I also threw one in there about "normalizing vectors", so you get the drift). We eventually got onto the topic of theoretical computer science classes that we've taken, and this (inevitably) led us to discussing graph theory (Dr. Isler would be so proud). I recalled having trouble with the proof-based tests, but the two guys told me it was cake for them, since they had to go through the terror that was math analysis.

Math analysis is appropriately called "math anal" at RPI, or just "anal". So, thinking myself to be horribly clever I said:

"I don't do ANAL unless I have to.", my mind still on proofs. What a horrible thing to say, especially in front of two guys. One of the guys I know winked and elbowed me, "unless you have to, eh?" and I buried my face in my hand, laughing.

Sometimes I put my foot down my throat so far that I kick myself in the ass.

Another thing about apple juice: like beer, too much of it may cause you to say very stupid things. Also like beer, you also pee a lot. And lastly, like beer, you wake up the next morning and think, "did I actually say that??". And yes, this was after three boxes of apple juice and nothing else.

I'm the hugest dork that ever lived.

That's all for now.
