tipsy giggles

last night i had the great pleasure of contributing to the surprise party of a fabulous forever friend of mine.  she was surprised.  we were thrilled.  everyone drank.  i chose ipa.

you'd think at this point in my life i'd have gained more of a tolerance for alcohol than i seem to have...but no.  one and a half pints of ipa later, any inhibition i had to begin with (if any) is out the window.

 i am a zero tolerance, alcohol appreciating, tipsy talking, hopefully not driving young lady.

i'm pretty sure that, on my way out, i attempted to steal the microphone from some strange man making announcements.  don't quite remember.  doesn't matter.

let's pretend i made it home in a sober hovercraft.  kids, don't follow my example.

i make it home, relieve my pup, and hop into bed ready to fall asleep to cnn banter.

my theory: if you listen to current events while you sleep, they somehow diffuse and lodge themselves into your brain so that you awake a better informed individual.  you can disagree with me.  you're wrong.

so, laying in bed, turn out the light, ready to go to sleep when i notice the raised voices coming from my television.  wtf?  someone just walked off the set of the piers morgan show.  fiesty.  interesting.

piers exits, enter my tv crush: anderson cooper.

yes, i know he is gay.  yes, i realize he may be albino.  yes, i would have his babies and walk his dog.  the end.

so, my ever-so-serious anderson pulls up the ridiculist and the unforeseen happens - he effing cracks up.  which makes me crack up.  just tipsy enough, and spiritually connected to the coop, i cannot help but giggle like a little girl, all by myself, in the dark, in bed.  we're not talking an adult chuckle, we're talking a "tee hee" embarassing giggle fest.  not necessarily because of what anderson was saying, but because he was having such a hard time saying it without also giggling like a little girl.

i like a good potty joke, but i never anticipated it would destroy the usual perfect composure of my beloved albino.

apparently the script he was reading from the teleprompter was full of pee (and one poo) related puns as he described the public airline potty incident of Gerard Depardieu.  the dude literally peed in the passageway of an airplane.

...you can admit it.  it made you giggle, too.
