lol

I forgot what time I needed to go to bed (I have church again in the morning) and cracked open a 16oz Ninkasi IPA (beer), then realized the time and nearly chugged it

THEN

I took an edible before getting in the shower

THEN

In the shower was like.....why am I suddenly viscerally reminded of being on drunk party bicycle rides (for instance: the Midnight Mystery Ride, or anything late at night on the Pedalpalooza calender like Bowie vs Prince or Loud and Lit) in my late 20's/early 30's?????

Oh.

Because I was usually drinking a Ninkasi IPA too fast (because I couldn't really carry it once it was open) and then smoking weed at the next stop. Right.

Like. I literally can't remember the last time I combined alcohol and weed that didn't involve a bicycle ride of other people drinking/smoking and playing loud music and stopping in parking lots/parks to socialize and drink/smoke more.

#my life #'didn't y'all crash/fall over' less than you'd think tbh #but yes ahahaha *almost* every time I fell over/crashed on my bicycle as an adult #I was drunk #jfc there were a couple of times I got to bed and had no memory of the ride home #and once I remember riding next to and then into a fence next to a bike path #and getting off my bicycle and walking for half a mile #before I was barely sober enough to get on again #look.#let me admit. I regret very little of this.#it was nearly always late at night and very few cars were on the road #and the only person likely to get hurt was me #and minus the time I crashed on private property and got a 5 day hospital stay lol #mostly all I injured was my dignity #the hangovers were worse than anything else #ah yes the halcyon days of Portland pfft #nostalgia #oof
