    I'm going to share a short story here:

    I went to a show last night (Tuesday) alone. Summoning the strength to leave the house required significant effort, but I already had a ticket and really wanted to go.

    I drove myself to the venue and drank a La Croix on the way there.

    I arrived 20 minutes before the headliner started and thought, "Yes! Perfect timing."

    I didn't order any drinks at the bar. I'm getting over a cold and wasn't in the mood.

    The show ended just before midnight and I was thankful for an "early" ending at a venue where shows regularly end closer to 1am, or later.

    I thought about stopping at 7-11 to get a Coke on the way home for a minute, then remembered that Coke has been gross to me after the first 2 sips for around 10 years.

    Passed an In-n-Out near my house and thought about going through the drive-thru to get a milkshake, but then remembered that having a milkshake this late at night would destroy me.

    Came home, had another La Croix, and went to bed.

    • I had OMD tickets and almost didn't go because it takes too long to recover after being out so late. I left before they were done to beat the crowd getting out.lemmy_k

    • Haha mono, same.garbage
    • The missus always has La Croix in the fridge, and sometimes I'll have a sip. Tastes like Shang Tsung has performed a fatality on a 7up.garbage

    • Yeah I saw the Get Up Kids at the Casbah, which in itself is probably a sign, right?nocomply
