I did a couple of things I'm rather proud of.
Not massive things, but small personal triumphs.
Details in replies.

The current 'love interest' or whatever you call him called me yesterday wanting to meet up. I said I was going to mate's gig but he was welcome to come along. He didn't seem keen, which is fine becuse that meant I could relax and have a night on the razz with my mates. Maybe he thought I wanted him to 'meet my friends'. But it wasn't as heavy as that, I really did just mean that he was welcome to come along. He text me at some point during the evening saying he was too busy to come. No problemo.
Fast forward a few hours, 12.30am to be precise, and he rings me. I was drunk. It was nice to hear from him. I say "Oh are you done, you coming along for a drink?" He says "No. Why don't you call me when you get home. When you're alone." I just get swept along and go "Oh ok, yeah if it's not too late. Byeeee."
As sooooooon as I put the phone down I realise I've been booty called! Now what this guy doesn't realise yet is that most of my mates are blokes. Some of them very naughty little jack-the-lad-types. So i go right over to one of my best mates and tell him the conversation word for word. And he says right away "No way. Definite booty call. Switch your phone off." All the lads agree. We have a debate, resulting in the conclusion that whilst sex is a basic human right, and that if I'd wanted some great drunken meaningless fun, then I should have gone home and called him, the other option was far more sensible. That is, if I actually want to test his mettle or maybe have a relationship with him, give him the drunken benefit of the doubt and start afresh tomorrow, then I should send him a goodnight text and switch off the phone.
So that's what I did. I had some self esteem, I rejected the booty call and I got up on stage and sang my little heart out for the first time in ages.

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. He was drunk, his wrong head was thinking for him. But I hope he knows not to try it again...

but I was drunk and I've previously been besotted! Honestly, it's a big step for me. Lolzipops...

I'd say it's a little unfair to assume that it was definitely a booty call. I know I've said almost exactly the same thing to people before without that intent.
But obviously you know the guy and I'm basing my judgement on a couple of sentences.

But I don't think he's a bad'un yet.
I'm just letting him know I won't be having one of those things with him.

But why don't you call me later when you're on your own? Yea?

But first I'll get you a glass of wine. NO WAIT. That's my glass. Your wine is very special, too special for me to be drinking.

But I'd picked up soluble paracetamol instead of my roofies :(

The "spilling some of my drink then making me go get bog-roll to clean it" was a nice trick though, got me out of the room for plenty long enough.

Grabbing the wrong pills was a very uncharacteristic error.

As long as you don't want them all in order.

I'm gonna assume there's a "what small personal triumphs have you had recently?" question tagged onto this.
I just went to the vending machine to get some crisps.
McCoys Thai Sweet Chicken, for the record.
The packed dropped down, and clipped a Double-Decker on the way, leaving it hanging out.
It looked like it was a prime 2-for-1 opportunity.
I took the chance and hit the Double-Decker code.
*bang*

Three. Nice!
Then I opened the trough-pit-thing to get my loot. And there was a pack of Mini-Cheddars in there too.
I love my life.

Apart from the fact that I don't really like Double-Deckers, so I gave them to my mate.

Whilst I dont agree with you I will defend your right to dislike the most awesome chocolate bar in the world.
Can I haz double decha?

That Double Deckers are awesome. But can they match the glory that is Toffee Crisp?
(, Thu 2 Jul 2009, 11:22, Reply)
Exactly this.
There's a time and a place for Kit-Kat Chunkys though. Normally dipped into Hot Chocolate.

because they are the exact opposite of double deckers (ignoring the chocolate covering)

It's the fact that you diddled the machine. Or The Man.
