(Today’s guest post is from the always fabulous Alexa from Cleveland is a Plum. If for some ridiculous reason you don’t read her blog yet, you need to fix that ASAP.)
there are laws against drinking and driving, drinking and boating, drinking under the age of 21, and in some states there are even laws about drinking and bike riding.
but there is one drinking and _____________ law that is missing from the world.
drinking and internetting.
internetting (it’s a word cause i just made it up), includes instant messaging, emailing, twittering, facebooking, blogging and the dreaded online shopping. this included smart phone internet as well kids.
cruising the internet while intoxicated is an extremely dangerous act that needs to be regulated, controlled and basically stopped altogether.
i can’t explain how many times i’ve woken up in the morning after a drunken night and looked at my twitter and seen this…
“omg drinks and shots boy don’t like me no more dance home”
or i got in a silly disagreement with a friends and i decide to post a blog about it from my blackberry at a bar only to wake up in the morning and quickly have to delete it.
hell, right now as i’m writing this? i’ve drank three glasses of wine – thank god jamie is so lovely and trusts me and my buzzed up thinking.
gchatting boys semi-dirty chats? been there.
bought the carpenters greatest hits album on itunes? done that.
all i know is that something needs to be done to make me stop – maybe i’ll start a non-profit and call it bloggers against drunk internetting. it could happen.
maybe there’s some kind of test that i can set up to take when i log onto my computer after a certain hour. like a really hard algebra problem that only when answered correctly would i be able to access the internet.
who am i kidding? i can’t even do algebra sober!
oh well, until something prevents me from drunk internetting i’ll keep doing what i do best… making a fool out of myself.

I bought “the Cha Cha slide” off of iTunes from my phone while drunk at my sister’s place so we could dance around her living room and practice that dance for her July wedding.
And Twitter and I have had a couple of drunken nights together…
And didn’t Google/GMail do something like a spell-check or sort of sobriety test that would keep you from sending drunk emails? Yeah.

actually gmail has a lab called “mail goggles” where at a certain point (you set the schedule) you have to solve seemingly simple math problems to send an email. but who knows…in a drunken haze, you might be determined enough to bust out a calculator.

I hope you didn’t use that gift certificate I gave you to buy that carpenters album.
If you did, me and you are going to have to have a little chat Alexa.
a drunk chat… wink.

I am so guilty of drinking and online shopping! One time I got drunk off wine, was IMing with a friend who lived in Chicago, got all nostalgic, and bought plane tickets to visit. I couldn’t make the trip because we ended up both having conflicts the weekend I was supposed to visit. Bye bye $300.

You would not BELIEVE how many drunk texts and emails I’ve sent from my phone. But my real weakness when I’m drunk are the gyro street carts outside the bars in Columbus. Oh man…I am a sucker for a 2am gyro.

Internetting is definitely a word. See also “interwebs” and “interwebbing”.

Drunk tweeting… Been there, done that. My drunk texts get me into more trouble, but my tweeting makes me look like a damn fool.

this is another reason why i’m glad i don’t have an itunes account. with all the 90’s nights me and the homies have been having, I would’ve bought so much random stuff. oh, and let’s not talk about the night we all got excited about “romancing the 70’s”

The one and only time I participated in retarded AIM sexy conversations I was drunk as hell.
Ugh.
I wish there was a DELETE button for decisions like that.

I once booked a trip halfway around the world while drunk-internetting and had no recollection of it the next morning until I received a confirmation email. True story.
