Another chat night?
« on: September 21, 2006, 01:13:36 PM »
Since people seemed to have fun last week there will be another chat 'night' this week (even if we don't get the turn out we did last week).

Teejay has requested that we have it on a saturday night (UK time) since when its Sunday night in the UK its Monday morning in Oz and since Saturday is also Badger Tom's birthday it seems a good as night as any  :)

Shame drill as last week- chat will kick off at 10pm UK time/2pm Pacific time/5pm East Coast time- getting pissed is of course entirely optional  :D


Hope to see some of you there again  :)

I am confused, when i drink with friends, groping people and saying x rated things is discouraged.  Yet it is the opinion of many of the people there that it was tame.  I am so trained to behave that it took me over a half a bottle of tequilla to start doing (normally) unacceptable things.
And as always, these are simply my worthless opinions.
Reverence is fine, Sanctity is silly.
We're all fucked, it helps to remember that.

I think that typical chat room behaviour is often a little risque and with this being Intensity I wonder if people were expecting it to be well above the limits of normal chat room banter.

And I suppose it depends on the people you're drinking with too- I've had some very explicit drunken conversations with some friends, yet others never get past the innuendo stage.  'Groping' I suppose is a different matter- its probably considered more acceptable in chat because it isnt real and you're not really invading anyone's personal space.

Yeah, but i don't know if i will be getting another 5th of tequilla.  Maybe I'll get 151 so it lasts longer.

Do you feel that you need to get blitzed to cope with social events like this or do you just think its more fun if you do?

I have always used alcohol as a way of coping with social situations, which is probably why I drunk so much on sunday.

More fun.  I mean, i can tell, and it has been pointed out to me that I do better in social situations when i'm a bit tipsy, but that is merely a side effect of the pleasure I get from it.

I always have more fun when I'm pissed, but that's because I'm not spending all the time going over and over what I want to say in my head before its too late to say it and it stops the awkwardness I feel around other people.

i think it provides a convenient excuse for otherwise embarrassing behaviour.

not that i think anyojne should be embarrased.  but thats why they call it liquid courage.
Misunderstood.

I don't think that's why I do it- I think its more that it shuts off the parts of my brain that are usually screaming 'no-one really wants to talk to you' and other shit of a similar nature.

Although from time to time I guess I've used the blame the alcohol excuse too :laugh:
