The beauty of never having drunk seriously since high school is that I've managed to (I think) look better than my age and have not a gut.

The flip side of it is that I'm meeting up with inebriated Logan again for the first time since 1995.

And he's got stuff to say.

I'm already fairly friendly and outgoing when I'm sober. Drunk, I'm your best friend.

So, what's your story, morning glory; what makes you look so blue?

I had a late dinner and a bit to drink with Hazel and Locationgirl. I probably have a 50/50 ratio of male/female friends. For me, there's a clear line of demarcation between friends and lovers, potential or otherwise (of course that's exactly what No. 6 said to me and that turned out to be total crap).

Still, it's great being able to have feminine sounding boards. Consider the recent conversation between Casey and myself:


I've said it before, relationships are hard. You do what you can, when you can.

For me, life is...confusing. At least I'm not the only one who's confused.

I rarely, if ever, buy a girl a drink.

Something about that whole process I find gives the guy the short end of the stick. The times when I am asked by a girl to buy her a drink, I always say the same thing, "I buy my friends drinks, which you could be but are not yet, and the women I date drinks...same deal."

I met another girl, L, recently that I've been orbiting around for the past two months. My friend Jon was in town and L said we should meet up with her and her friends. The friends happened to be three other guys.

That's five guys for one L, for the mathematically challenged.

I just spent the time catching up with Jon.

Pretty soon L comes up to me and we talk a bit. She wants a drink. I tell her that she has a job to do now: she has to get drinks from any other guy in the bar except me but spend the rest of the night with me.

She says she's on it.

She manages to get several drinks in exchange for a few minutes of chit-chat while Jon and I are laughing to ourselves.

To top it off, she slides me a drink or two and we later slip into the back and spend a bit of time together.

Moral: Only buy your friends drinks.

Otherwise, you're just buying a guy like me a drink.

We then both laughed our heads off. My friends are awesome. She thinks I'm in love with her, I think she's in love with me. We're both wrong - a good thing.

We'll be friends for a long time.
