Drunk Dialing

Have you ever Drunk Dialed anyone? I haven't. But I did have someone Drunk Dial me the other night. It was a girl I have been dating for the past few weeks. She was out late with her friends, getting a good buzz going.

I had gone to bed extra early that night, and was resting soundly when the phone rang at one in the morning. I saw that it was my friend, "Bonnie," calling. (Name changed to protect the innocent.)

She was very drunk. And very loud. And giddy. I was tired. I just wanted to close my eyes and go back to sleep. I like Bonnie, but I don't like talking to anyone after being awakened from a deep sleep. Her conversation was all over the place. She was giddy like a schoolgirl, mad at me for some stuff I said last week. Horny for me. Pissed at me. Up, down, it was like a roller coaster ride. She started bringing up issues that we have had in our relationship ever since we met.

I really didn't feel like having a serious discussion about "where we were going" at that moment. I didn't feel like doing anything except going to sleep. The conversation went on fora few more minutes, with her doing most of the talking. I just tried to agree with everything she said and hoped I would be able to get back to sleep.

Finally she decided it was time to get back to partying with her friends and she ended the call. I'm not sure what either one of us got out of it. It is flattering that she chose to call me, but it would have been much more flattering if she waited till morning and been more coherent.

I turned off my phone and went back to sleep. Sure enough, when I woke up the next morning, I found a couple more messages from Bonnie. Nothing important, just more Drunk Dialing. I also found a text she wrote when she woke up that said "Sorry about the drunk dialing."

At least she realized what she had done and that it was wrong. I really don't drink enough to ever drunk dial anyone. But that's okay. Sometimes you can dial someone while stone sober and still annoy them just as much. Trust me, I'm an expert at it!
