i have this bad habit of getting nervous around crushes i have. to the point where i’ll get myself painfully drunk just so that i don’t feel how nervous i actually am. i can’t count how many times i’ve done this.

which would all be fine if i was able to keep myself composed when i do this, however i don’t. one of my more hilarious examples of this was actually with my current boyfriend. he and i had been friends for awhile, and i had just realized that i was interested in him as more than a friend, and i suspected he was beginning to think of me that way too. somehow, we planned to watch jurassic park at my apartment one weekend after we both went to different parties.

i was anticipating our hangout, and drank myself quite ridiculous that night, drinking upwards of 2 bottles of wine by myself. i knew i wanted to make a move on him, but wasn’t sure if i’d have the nerve without the wine.

well, back at my apartment, watching jurassic park, our hands touched and next thing i knew we were finally kissing, and it ruled. uh oh- my stomach suddenly was very unhappy with me. i flew off the couch and into the bathroom to puke my brains out for a minute or so. after brushing my teeth i sheepishly returned to the living room.

because i’d brushed my teeth, he didn’t care and was very sweet about it. i threw up a couple more times, but we continued to kiss because my teeth and breath remained minty as hell. he spent the night and we snuggled and he rubbed my upset stomach.
