Driving Fucked Up Is a Bad Idea.

I don't drive when I'm fucked up. This seems to me like a remarkably wise plan. But damn, is it making my life inconvenient.Dante et al live only a block away. Alice etc. live two blocks in the opposite direction. I can handle that. I can even handle walking from one of their houses to the other. But the House is a good five blocks away. Mia is six or so. Even the bars are just far enough away to be inconvenient. Jeez. Seeing it written like that, I don't understand what my problem is. Six blocks, Ana? Waah, fucking waah! Yeah, but at 4 in the morning, it's a fucking cold six blocks. That's pretty much the problem. As I'm making this long-assed cold walk, I start thinking that maybe driving fucked up wouldn't be so bad after all. Maybe I could start practicing. Wait till I'm just a little fucked up, and try backing in and out of my driveway. No. Driving fucked up is a bad idea. Well, ok. But it's just a few blocks. That's not as bad as, say, driving all the way to Zenith, or something. No. Driving fucked up is a bad idea. It's way late. Cowtown is dead by 10:30. It's not like I'd be putting anyone else at risk. I'd even stay off the main roads. No, goddammit. Driving fucked up is a bad idea. Sure, you might think you're fine. But your perception is all screwy. Every single person I know who drives has no problem driving fucked up. I bet I could handle it. I always said I would never ever do it. Yeah, but let's just think for a minute about all the other things I said I'd never ever do. I used to think I'd never smoke cigarettes. I said I'd never drop acid, several times before I finally did it. Both of these turned out to be enjoyable experiences. Maybe driving fucked up is fun. Would you just listen to yourself? Driving fucked up is a BAD idea. End of story. *** That's where I'm at right now. Intellectually, I know that I've made the right decision. But it's starting to get cold out. And I'm really lazy. Feh.
