I very often wouldn't get the "Oh shit" moment until I asked a friend what had happened.
I still get very drunk and silly, I still get a touch of amnesia, but for the last couple of years I've managed not to get to that 'still vocal and mobile but no longer mentally present' stage.
Long may it continue.

even at your most lucid you're never mentally present

I am always mentally present
Just not necessarily on the Earthly plane.

Mentally present?
I'm quite good at that one - I once managed to fall asleep in the middle of an inebriated conversation and have a dream in which I was still conversing with the people involved in the conversation. Five minutes later I woke up and chipped in at the point I'd dreamt the conversation had reached, which confused the rest of them no end.

Haha I do that
I spout random shit just as I'm drifting off because I think we've been discussing it. I said something about someone called Ged to djtp once. Fortunately Ged is very gay.

i do that all the time
i don't even have to be drunk, just have passed out eg watching tv on the sofa. i will talk absolute bollocks (more so than normal) in my sleep - sometimes stuff from 10 mins ago and sometimes just random shite. my ex and my so-called friend always called me the coma-kid.

My mum and dad used to go into my room when I was little just to have trippy sleep-conversations and laugh at me.
Sometimes my eyes are open too.

that's just mean!
it's like me - i can't sleep if any bit of me is hanging off the edge of the bed because i think something will come along and grab it.

only when i was about 25 did my mum admit she always used to grab my foot if it was sticking out from the duvet when i was tiny... child. abuse.

I couldn't sleep out of the covers because my uncle Terry explained the Nuclear Deterrent System to me when I was 7.
TERROR.
Now I can't sleep out of the cover because Tigger will come along and grab me.

But his tiny tiny face when you shun him...
And his gung-ho-hat-joy when you're nice to him.

this is known as the "treat 'em mean" theory
working on gullible males of all species since cavemen

Yes but sometimes you're actually trying to get rid of them and they just think you're being a treat 'em mean seductress and they're like chewing gum in yer 'air

They'll never understand you either. That's people for you.
People aren't even like Dolly Mixtures.
They're like a big sack containing sweets and mystery meats and sandwish casserole and socks. Oh, and inner tubes.
EDIT, Ooh, good luck. May a very long time pass before he does anything remotely cunty.
