A Public Apology

To Whom It May Concern:


To Friends (and any other patrons of Kendall's bar): I apologize for bawling my eyes out in public for absolutely no reason, giving my friends cause for concern, potentially causing much awkwardness, and just in general being very annoying in the form of a Tennessee whiskey and tears combo. Thank you for still maintaining our friendship after this display. Thank you for getting me home.


To The Patrons of The Big City Tap: While I do not remember anything about what you look like, as my memory of this locale consists of blurred images and hazy smoke, I must apologize for the sight of me- a puffy-faced, eyeliner smeared, blurry-eyed, spasmatic entity. Sorry for stumbling directly onto my ass upon entering the dance floor. Sorry I suddenly thought I was J-Lo and displayed such pathetic attempts at dance moves but much thanks for providing the setting for my "second wind."


To My Roommate: Sorry for the various leaves found on the floor all over our apartment, probably as a result of me deciding to take a little rest on our front porch in a puddle in the middle of a heavy downpour. (Special shout out to LC, for encouraging me to not spend the rest of the evening on my front porch in the pouring rain.) Sorry for the state the apartment was in, most likely because of my arrival home in a tornado-like whirlwind. Oh yes, and sorry for that crusty contact stuck on our counter. I must have missed the contact case.


To Myself: I apologize for not opting for the nice low-key movie, dinner, co-worker karaoke night combo and instead choosing to jack & diet myself into oblivion, thus resulting in yet another highly unproductive Sunday and a large bruise on my right shin- a result of the dance floor spill?


Actually, I lied on that one. How can it be that making such a public ass out of myself can be so much fun? I love those unexpected nights that were unplanned but end up being some of the best times.


Sincerely,


Quarter-Lifer
