Legen – wait for it! – daaaary March 27, 2007

Apparently after a certain point on Saturday night, I began texting and calling everyone I know to relay very important information, typically involving people I’d seen or, more than likely, to sing that song they just played at the bar that we used to listen to back in the day and OH-MY-GOD I miss you so much, wasn’t being 22 just so much fun, why do we have to have cubicle jobs and student loan bills, and DAMN remember how much fun our group would have the first weekend each semester when student loans came in and we’d party like we would never have money again all semester, which we wouldn’t because we wasted it all on bottom-shelf Vodka and cranberry juice, and why can’t we be kids again and Answer! The! Phone! I don’t care if you do live on the East coast and it is 4 a.m. there, tell your husband to roll over and go back to sleep and talk to me about that time we made Jello shots for three hours and stained the kitchen counters red.
Is what I imagine the many voicemails I left must’ve sounded like.
Oh I have done that many times. The worst part is when you start getting return phones calls and they tell you all they heard was yelling. Then you have to reveal that you don’t even remember calling them! Ahh good times.
oh dear. I have left plenty of those. In fact, my best friend lives in LA and I ALWAYS call her when I am out because it’s still early there!
Ha.. I was sort of jealous when I read yesterday’s posting, b/c my similar experience on Sunday evening was filled with lots of holes come Monday morning. Now I see you suffered similarly
Turns out I seem not to have done anything too embarassing, hope it works out the same for you!
I alwyas check my text message Outbox with eyes squeezed shut the day after a wild night out. At least that way you don’t have to wait for the phone call from friends to know who you owe a hungover apology to!
I just turned 28 so I’m happy to hear that I’m not the only one who still does that. Although I think that’s much less embarrassing than my usual texting of dudes I like (or who I know like me) to see if they’ll meet out at like 2 a.m. And when I don’t hear back an hour later, I try again, you know, in case they forgot but of course definitely want to meet out. It’s gotten to the point where I know I can’t control myself, so I delete their numbers out of my phone before I go out, and then breathe several sighs of relief the next morning with the realization that I didn’t do that the night before for once. New level of sad? I think so. Suffice it to say, my ex-boyfriend of many years suffers deeper levels as I have his number memorized and get it right even with many “additives” to my bloodstream/brain… but instead of “let’s meet out,” I offer what I believe at the time are epiphanies and pearls of wisdom about life, love, sex, whatever. I’m sure he’s rethinking the breakup with EVERY text…
It’s always interesting to see who you tanked and texted on a wild night out - even more interesting is who texts you back…
I love a drunk text/dial.
I Heart How I Met Your Mother!!
I once heard about a service that’s supposed to block drunk dials. I wonder if it’s true…
Friends should snatch our cell phones at a certain point so that we don’t have to go through the outgoing calls and text messages the next morning what the hell we said.
Okay - that last comment didn’t make a lot of sense, but you get the idea. Friends shouldn’t let friends drunk dial.
Drunk/dial/text is fantastic! Not enough of it in the world if you ask me.
Never done that myself. Perhaps I don’t drink enough… or maybe just don’t know enough people… Could go either way.
My general thing when I’m drunk is talking on Ventrilo with my guild on WoW. Leads to some interesting times.
Behind the Curve — Yay! Someone got the reference in the post title. I love How I Met Your Mother. Rock.
I did that on Friday!! I mean, I remember everything, but I did drunk dial a couple people.The best call was to my ex-boyfriend TheEntrepreneur, who had a b-day. He said: “You’re drunk! Tell me something you’d never tell me sober!”. My reply: “OK. Divorce the witch you married because she got pregnant, and marry me.”
Am I embarrassed? A little. But he asked. And the only difference is that I’ve already told him that (in less direct ways) every time he feels like telling me it’s me he loves, not her. And I know he won’t leave her, so no harm done.
Oh NSLW, I love what he asked you, I will need to remember that when a dude drunk dials me!
I too unfortunately wake up horrified, grab the phone and see if I made the call to the guy I shouldn’t have…and thankfully lately I usually end up very relieved.
Drunk Dialing will get you everytime. LOL
haha… classic. Everything you had to rely was really that important, I promise.
I don’t know what’s better, being on the giving or receiving end of a drunk text/dial.
Oh my God, I am the worst about drunk dials. I will call the same person over and over and leave messages. The other weekend, I left four messages on my friend’s phone. Oh, and I haven’t talked to him in almost a year.
“How I Met Your Mother” is an awesome show. I love how they find the humor in our everyday lives.
Sooo funny! Those were the best of times… the carefree days before we had to become adults.
Ah, memories. Good times. Awesome blog.

interesting post , after a long time.
i LOVE getting those messages from my friends. they crack me up. it never fails — they always say, “i’m not even the drunkest one here!” — which is doubtful, as they are the ones drunk dialing me….
i miss college. *sigh* if i could go back in time and re-do any part of my life so far, i would pick the years i was at indiana. i wouldn’t change a THING, other than: take more road trips and make out with more boys….tee hee.
I do it all the time, to one person!! bless him…..but they do say that when you are drunk you tell the truth! So can’t be that bad???
