Comment RSSGoths Strung Out On Energy
11.06.07 # 8:42 # Adventures in Real Life # 2 CommentsThe other night I was sleeping quite blissfully, when all of a sudden I was awakened by a great commotion. Someone was pounding on the front door. I got up and quickly dressed, then went to see what was going on. I got to the door, turned on the outside light and discovered my friend Sandi standing there. I let her in and asked her what was going on. It turned out she just happened to be in my neighborhood after attending a late night rave. She was hopped up on energy drinks and wanted to keep partying. I, of course, was not really in the mood to party (seeing as it was 4:00 a.m.) so I managed to get her to sit down and just talk. Due to all of the caffeine and guarana and sugar in her system she babbled on at length about nothing in particular. After a little while she started to "come down" and then a little while later she crashed pretty hard. She was in mid-sentence and just flopped over on the couch and fell into a sound sleep. I threw a blanket over her and then went back to my bed to get a couple more hours sleep. I awoke (again) at about 8 and started my day; Sandi remained fast asleep until about noon. When she did awake I offered her a little "hair of the dog that bit her" in the form of an extra strong quadruple-quadruple from Tom Norton’s. She swore that she was never going to have another energy drink (at least until next week-end). I reminded her that Blue Beaver Beer gives a person a good buzz, without the hard crash after-wards, due to the glacial run off water that it’s brewed with. She glared and accused me of sounding like an infomercial. Eventually she found herself capable of getting on with her day.

A quadruple quadruple sounds very powerful.
I can only handle a double double half caf decaf flappachino myself.
