9:06pm. That's the time I got back to my hotel room last night. Which on its own doesn't sound like much of an achievement until you learn what I had to drink:

- 2 shots of fireball
- 3 vodka tonics
- 1 peach martini
- 2 whiskey things

All consumed within a roughly 4 1/2 hour period. I did eat in there too. Some beautiful smoked octopus, a scotch egg, and half a slice of one of the best pear pies. This is why I was skinnier when I drank. I just realized I didn't eat shit last night. Huh. Oh well.

All of this debauchery was with a friend who I haven't seen in almost a year. She said it's been four years since we met. It's actually been three as I went back and read the blog entry from the day we met. I remember the day I met her. I was in the city with a friend shopping for dresses for Pride and this crazy girl met up with us later for drinks and that was it. I woke up the next day on her couch. I knew this was someone I needed in my life. We have a good friendship. The kind where you don't see each other for a year but you can pick up like it was two days. I like that. Not needy, not demanding. I wish there were more people like her.

The earlier part of the day was spent training. Day three, moved on to advanced topics. I am mostly enjoying the topics at this point. More challenging stuff. That was pretty much my whole day until 4:30.

Got back, chatted with B briefly about some cat stuff, then went to bed.

Tonight I head back home after class. But since I won't deal with traffic, going to bum around the mall first. I will wait until about 7 or so to get on the road.
