"Apologies, but I had to attend to Pirate Dog. The shock of being licked by Ninjakitty has left him somewhat catatonic." Also, Ninjakitty is a girl?
We aren't really sure, but he, she, it, whatever tends to be more feminine? It's more fun if I just let everyone guess... and poor baby pirate. Can't handle a little affection. I knew ninjas were better. Keep telling yourself that's why you flirt with him. I'm sure it's true.
I quit drinking as much when I turned twenty-one. Being allowed to do something takes all the fun out of it. I still drink, but only things that I really like. "I don't see why you even bother. It's not like you can get drunk."
"That's cute." I once drank a half-gallon of gin over a five hour period. (It was a hot day, and it was the only thing cold.) It didn't affect me in any way, other than a slight headache a few hours later.
I like the occasional drink. But I don't have stories about how much I've drunk, cause I do it responsibly. And yet, still have fun.
