Sorry, I'm A Stanger Here Myself

[poliphilo]

When I was a kid I used to wonder what it was like to go into a pub and order a drink. And I used to worry that, when my time came, I'd do it wrong and be found out

I've always felt like I was bluffing my way through life. Like I'd missed out on some absolutely vital briefing session.

Keep your head down, imitate the natives, don't do anything to give yourself away.

vodka and orange juice

I've never got along with vodka.

I remember raiding my parent's drinks cabinet as a kid and taking a swig from the vodka bottle and being really disappointed because I was hoping for this ultimate transgressive experience and the stuff just didn't taste of anything.

I'm a whisky man myself.

a whisky man? wow. just the smell of it is enough to scare me away. i'm rather fond of rum, myself. i know that's not very classy. oh well.

I don't like the burnt-sugar taste of rum. I think this stems from being given disgusting rum-flavoured toffees when I was a kid. :)
