Lesson 5

This is what happens when you ignore lesson #4:
I violated my own code so that others may learn from my blunders--not because I lost sight of the goal...not because I was under the influence...not because my brain stopped functioning. I did it ONLY so that my lessons would become validated in the eyes of my readers. I did this for you. (That was one big fat rationalization)

I made some poor choices last night which include a.) making out with Tall Boy 1 who only has a single degree of separation from myself b.) making out with Tall Boy 1 who also happens to be on my team (observe degrees of separation whithering away) c.) Drinking a little eensy weensy too much d.) causing an interpersonal rift between Tall Boy 1 and his house-mate/my teammate. Crap.

Instead of being an angelic ray of light and joy to others, I was more like a tsunami that destroyed a peaceful native fishing village. I feel guilty because I made the pursuit of make-outness a priority over a friend's feelings.

Lesson 5: Be ready to accept the consequences of ignoring the lessons. I guess all I can do now is face what happened and keep in mind that I didn't do anything out of malice. I really wasn't trying to hurt anyone, but now I've got to do some damage control. Talk with some people, try to get things on a better path. As Anne Taintor said, "Someone was going to have to set a bad example". And that I did.
