Doing my part for America

Here's a link to the State of the Union Drinking Game.

Some examples:

Every time he says....

“The state of our union is strong…” (or some version of this) drink 1 (+1 if he breaks down in tears)

"the American people" drink 1

"troops" small 1

"Iraq" 1

"Baghdad" 1

"Iran" 1

"terror" (however it’s pronounced) small 1

"detainees" 1, with your hands behind your back

"freedom" 1

"Homeland" 1 if followed by "Security"; 2 if another context

“nukular” 1

People and other aggrivations

I just need to get this out.

Apparently my friend Jennifer has been upset with me since their holiday party December 16th, because I apparently didn't stop Charlie from jumping on their new chairs. I don't remember this, and I can't imagine why I wouldn't have stopped him, but it is possible I was just not paying attention.

The thing that really upsets me is that I didn't even know this until just now. I haven't seen them since that party, and, obviously, she hadn't returned any of my calls or anything. I thought she might have been upset with me, but couldn't imagine why, and put it down to my usual paranoia and lack of self-confidence.

So today she was at the bus stop in her car, and I went over to say hello, and when I mentioned we ought to try to get together, she told me that she was upset with me. She said she'd get over it eventually, but it's been a month, and she still doesn't want to hang out with me? That's pretty harsh.

The thing is, I think I've been a pretty good friend to her, and the fact that she can't forgive me for this is very hurtful. It's kind of like being taken off someone's friends list without being given an explanation.

Anyway. Hopefully it will all sort itself out, but I'm too old to deal with this sort of thing. It makes me too depressed.
