The Drunk Tele-Postcard

Drunk dialing is like an instant postcard, with all the same major components as a snail mail postcard:

1. at least one "Wish you were here!" sentiment, even if it comes out like "You ass hole, you should be out with your friends, not sleeping like a loser!"
2. exclamation points, usually at the end of "We're having a great time!"
3. others present always get a shout-out, like the friend you don't know as well but is traveling/partying with your closer friend, will write or say "long time no see!"
4. greater expression of affection than in most sober conversations, like "I love you so much," or "We really need to hang out more!"

For more resources on drunk dialing, or just someone to call when you're wasted, please see drunkdial.org, an article on Canadians' drunk-dialing competition, and your nearest law school friend.

One of the friends I was out last night with called me at 1:00 this morning. So I get up (if you know me and my living situation, you know how difficult it is to get to my phone once I'm in bed), listened to the message (drunk tele-postcard), and turned the A/C down a few degrees. Atlanta's summer heat remains, so the temperature was still close to 80 when I got the drunk dial.

Disclaimer, I'm not saying that all four of the Drunk Dial-Postcard similarities were part of this morning's message.
