My Name is Alyssa, and I'm an alcoholic

Things We Say: 

New vacuum pulled the equivalent of a FULL-SIZED cat out of our carpet.... SHIT! I had NO idea our vacuum was that bad... or that Maggie [the cat] was hiding a friend! **GONE!--Justin
  
I would like to thank you with no sarcasm at all for cockblocking me at the bar tonight. A guy was hitting on me by saying "I thought I would come rescue you from all these guys who are talking to you" and I was like "no, he's my dad's coworker, he's my dad's coworker, he's my dad's coworker, he's my dad's coworker..." and he said "ok that's just creepy" and walked off. Thanks daddy! ;)--Me to my father


I have to tell you, that I'm taken.  Normally that's not my style.  Normally I let the guys hit on me and buy me drinks, until it comes up that I have a boyfriend.  But you're cute, and I don't want to play you.  We can be friends! Which sucks to hear at a bar, but at least I was honest upfront. --Me to a cute boy at the bar.


"HEEEEEEEEEYYYYYY YOUR SEX IS ON FIRE!!!!!!"--Me to Josh, whom with which I have never had sex.  We even had hand motions. It was epic.


I can't believe you're DDing the man who doesn't drink.  I'm a recovering alcoholic.--Mullet
  
Today we celebrate Will Smith's victory over the aliens. #historyclassleftthatout--Baker
  
Celebrating Independence Day, aka The 4th of July, on the 1st of July...yeah that makes sense.--Baker

I also REALLY like this sign:

 Blurb My Brain:

So first of all, Happy Independence Day.  Take this time to reflect on the things you like to do, and silently (or publicly, whichever you are most comfortable with) thank a service member.  Some are able to spend it with their family and loved ones, and others are not.  Obviously, I fall into the latter category, but I'm not trying to pull a pity party.  Its just that the holidays make me miss him more.  


But anywhoooo..... so this is 4th of July weekend, and the base celebrated on the 1st.  Which is what most idiots do. ha. But the logic was there, they knew that the majority of the people would be taking the 4 day weekend to travel, so they wanted to have it on the 1st so people could still go and have the remaining 3 days to travel.  But for low lifes like me, (or other college students) we can't afford to travel, so we just use it to party.  So Friday I partied, Saturday I went to a barbeque and partied, and Sunday I partied.  Tonight is now Monday, and party plans have been made.  It's gonna be a rocking time.  You know, since I can't drink because I have to drive home and be sober enough to make it to work on Tuesday.  Yeah, I'm one of about 100 who ACTUALLY don't have Tuesday off as well.  Major Lameage.  I should just take sick leave that day, but what's the point in that if I'm not drinking.  


But yeah, the reason I say I'm an alcoholic, (which I'm totally not) is that I am able to party all nights of the weekend.  Last night I was sober so I could drive people, and tonight I'll be sober as well, but I still party. :) Being 21 in Germany really has no bearing on me, since I've been drinking for 3 years now.  crazy.
