DNT TXT N WLK

People always warn to not text and drive, but perhaps the warning should be to not text and walk. It was a Friday night and my friends and I decided to be overachievers in the drinking department. It started early with a few drinks at the bar then we headed to a friend's bonfire. Along with the numbing affects of alcohol came a giant cloud of rain, that swallowed the fire and persuaded us to run to our next destination. We made our way down the block through a maze of apartments to our friend Brian's house. All the while I was on my phone talking, texting and messing with every application possible. I suppose i was getting ready to hit the send button when my forehead collided with the steel staircase to the apartment building. I fell back in agony. The next 45 minutes or so have been completely wiped from my memory. The next day my attire consisted of an icepak headband and a bandaid on the bridge of my nose. I still feel like an ass.

    Good job at describing the events that took place, kinda sucks that you hit your head like that. Hope you feel better.

    The guy, 'Brian', doesn't happen to live with a guy named Abel Tomlinson, does he?

    I like the tone. I can totally envision most of my friends doing this.

    I like how your style of writing had a sense of humor about it, even though the situation sucked.
    "overachievers in the drinking department" haha

    I thought the transitions were great. I like the detail of about to finish with messing around on the phone, but it was a bit too late. Well done.

    Alcohol + bonfires usually equal the absolute best kind of agony.

    I'm not sure that the texting and walking was the problem...it's best to get wasted in one spot, imho.
