cnoocyHappy NaDruWriNi, everybody.
I have had one bottle of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
leppanen's homemade beer; one vodka-enhanced Atlanta, Georgia; and a milk drink with Kahlua, Creme de Cacao, and B-Schnapps. I'm now working on a small tumbler of Slippery Nipple. That should hold me or the rest of the evening.
I am more like myself when I'm drunk. By which I mean that I act like I do when I'm comfortable and at home, but more so. I may be more like I am inside my head. Others can corroborate or not. So what do I write ablout when I'm drunk? Apparently I don't type as well, I'm using the backspace key more than usual, which may be a violation of the NaDruWriNi rules. I'm not going to worry about it too much.
I used to think that I would be a writer, I once even expressed the desire to be "the voice of my generation." I am certainly not that, lately I can't even write a poem with much ease. I've written two cryptic crosswords in the last two months. Which is a significant thing, it's very neat to find out that I am at least somewhat able to construct a type of puzzle that used to mystify me. But I haven't written any Latin verse in about a year. I'd liek to do more, but I feel like I'm shortchanging my existing projects as it is. It would be nice to think that most people don't live lives of constant creativity because they all have fulfilling jobs that use their creative energy up. I suspect, however, that they actually have jobs they dislike, which dislike they drown in escapes like drugs and television. Not that I can really say much as I type this while drunk and playing a computer game.
But I think what I'm saying is that I'd like to be more on top of my various projects. It really is amazing how much more difficult that becomes when you have a challenging and busy job. It makes quite the change after unemployment, then a part-time job in the Harvard libraries, then a brief additional piece of unemployment between jobs. I should really make some use of my vacation days. But I'm really really happy with my job. To be paid well for going to work and playing with the kind of things I would play with anyway is much more than most people get. Even when it's stressful, my job is significantly better than any of my previous jobs.
So, here's my NaDruWriNi wish, Mr. Jones: May it come to be, without any increase in my own misfortune, that I am the least fortunate of my friends. And may all your parliaments be preserved from nefarious plots, Popish or otherwise.
