    I was 21 years old.

    CW: Descriptions of Being Sick

    Decided the best way to begin drinking was to do shots of Southern Comfort with my roommate. I got like blackout drunk, woke up hours later needing to vomit… I ran to the bathroom where I found my roommate passed out in the bathtub in the fetal position in his own sick. I turned to the toilet as the SoCo and bile made its way to the top of my throat, it was go time, now or never… to my horror both the seat and the lid were down. My mouth filled as I tried to get the lid open and then… disaster struck. The puke hit the diagonal plain of the half raised lid and sprayed all over the walls and toilet tank. I then slipped and face planted into the tank giving myself a black eye.

    I didn’t drink for two years after that night.

    Budget is basically: whatever I need to spend to have a device last at least six to seven years or beyond. I’m willing to spend more for quality, but the thought process is that if I can buy used and still get quality/longevity then that’s what I’ll do. Someone else suggested to try and get a used machine from my work, which almost embarrassingly hadn’t occurred to me. They’re about to do a laptop replacement cycle and, while I’m not issued a work laptop, there’s going to be like fifty to choose from (if they haven’t already been promised to a school or something). Gonna ask our IT manager about it Monday.

    Also, thanks for the info about the distros, having only fooled around with works-out-of-the-box PC’s for forever now, switching over to Linux can be a bit overwhelming.
