The Mad Hatter's Cousin

Time for a tiny tale of this late night.        I got home this night around eight or nine after having a few drinks with my father and grandfather. I was definitively a bit out of it, but wasn’t incapable of complex rational thought. After reviewing the contents of the fridge, I snagged some leftover mashed potatoes and filled a glass with peach juice and a bit of citrus rum. Having this task accomplished, I retreated to my room for an interesting bout of Portal 2.
        Several hours later, entirely sober, I was overtaken by the urge to draw my character in Skyrim. I figured this was something I would be much more comfortable doing whilst nestled in my bed. I moved for my glass, which had remained quite close to full, with the intent of finishing it. This is where I made my mistake. While Inebriated, I had no problem slowly nursing the drink; my body, however, decided being sober was the better choice and I ended up spilling spiked peach juice over the lesser half of my keyboard, desk, and very nearly, my mouse.
        Trying to clean up the mess as soon as possible forced another mistake. I unscrewed a piece of my desk and set it on the floor, flat screw twisting up out of the wood. When I moved the desk, I became unbalanced and scraped the underside of my thigh in the process of falling on my rear end. Throughout sopping up the mess, I pondered, for my amusement, the fact that I had brought an open container of liquid to my room while under the influence of alcohol, set it on my desk, and when and only when I was sober and edging tired did I manage to knock it over.
