you totally learned #2 from college
btw, part of my not taking coffee w/milk/cream stemmed directly from the whole “crap that means i have to rinse this” business.

who forgets about beer in the fridge?!

Drinking alone is one thing. Having a beer while you’re wasting your life on the Wikipedia or reading papers doesn’t change anything other than the number of calories you’ve had. Having six could be indicative of a problem, but then, maybe it’s just good beer.
Working late at night is fine too. It’s not like I’m even capable of getting anything done in the morning, and I can make all the noise I want once my office-mates have gone home.
But there’s something about cracking open a domestic beer you stole from some random event (probably someone’s defense party), in a building that’s as silent as a tomb because anybody with anything better to do went home two hours ago, while you ponder making an escape (you’re not *that* behind) and realize that there’s no place to go but home to your irritating roommates, and you make a game of guessing how many hours in the last week you’ve spent in this chair — there’s something about all that that makes you feel very low indeed. And maybe next time you’ll just leave the beer in the fridge.
Ask me how I know.
As far as Mountain Dew goes: Guilty as charged. It’s been a long time since I’ve had any of that stuff.
