At our weekly Pub Night at my eating club, K was sitting next to me and having a beer with his dinner. Since the summer, he's been trying beers more regularly, while I've been...sitting on the sidelines in awe at this transformation. Occasionally when he or E is beer-trying in my presence, I help myself to a sip. Usually, I regret this decision immediately. But something strange happened this Thursday night...I...didn't find the experience of tasting K's beer to be unpleasant. In fact, I had a second sip to confirm, and found that I actually kind of...enjoyed it.
And then I made the radical decision that I was going to get a Yuengling of my own, and drank the whole thing enthusiastically! I later had two cups of a much shittier beer while playing Kings, and while I didn't enjoy it as much, I could handle it. Yesterday at dinner, I had a cup of Weinstephaner with my burger and again, found the experience to be somewhat pleasurable.
...I think I'm developing a tolerance for beer. I don't know how this happened, but my wallet is thanking me already.
Inside the mind of a kind of quirky, pretty stubborn, way too opinionated, twenty-something, heteroflexible Black female newly employed up-and-moved-to-DC Princeton GRADUATE who's just trying to sort out her life. An uninhibited celebration of all that is me, this blog is an exercise in self-discovery and live-with-your-heart-wide-open-ness. Though I make respect a habit, I will not always be politically correct, and I believe in the power of making audiences uncomfortable to inspire change.
