NaDriWriNi: Urghle Splutz

So here is what I learned last weekend:
Do not let GrayCub mix the drinks. Do not mix phych meds with alcohol. When you’ve decided you’ve had enough, say so in a firm, loud voice and go immediately to sleep. Do not drink because a pretty girl wiggles at you and says please, or because some anonymous figure on the other end of an IM says so, or ever include alcohol in kinky anything.
I’m not posting the rest of what I wrote, because it alternates between the slightly gory birthing scene that you may or may not make out from my last post, and a bleary commentary on the drunken goings on of myself, GrayCub, and Mr. Silver. Hmmm, and a bit of weird speculation the faceless-bad-influence, Etcet.
The end result? The worst hangover of my entire life, the realization that my bad blood could easily make me an genuine alchie, several hours of blackness in my memory, bruises and floor burn, a big block of stuff I deleted from my NanoWriMo word count. Also, the painfully sober Mr. Silver says that Gray and I can be mean drunks. He was mad. He may still be mad. *shiver* Oh, and there were clothing casualties. I’m still not sure where my bra went.
Maybe, if you DONATE $100 or more, I’ll give you the transcript of the night.
Screwed Up!
I overbooked myself last week, and then ran into a few emergencies situations. Does this sound lame to anyone else? It does to me, and it was my life!
In the end I blew a deadline. F*@$! I emailed the editor when I realized that I wasn’t going to make it, offering to do the work for a reduced fee or to have the project reassigned. That was 4 days ago and the deadline passed 3 days ago. I’ve heard nothing back.
How do I beg forgiveness for such a grievous failure? Is there any hope of keeping this position or should I count myself as dismissed?
