The wedding is over, and I'm rather drunk. I need to sober up because I have to pack up the sound system, and then drive somewhere. I'm leaving on an airplane later today, going home, and I'm concerned about having my stuff packed and organized.

I go outside on the steps, apparently of a school, to see if smoking a cigarette will help me feel more sober. There are other people out there smoking, and there is an area fenced off for smoking. Somebody else out there comments on how it's such a small smoking area (although it is a large area, paved like a parking lot). He says when school is in, there is a much larger area for smoking. I tell him that at my high school, there was no smoking area at all - the kids had to leave the school just to smoke!

I've been digging around for something in my pockets, and I realize that in doing so, in my drunken state, I've been spilling things out on the ground. My keys, money, everything is around on the ground, so I take a deep breath, focus, and pick it all up. Then I realize I lost the cigarette I had. I think it should be behind my ear - where else would you put a cigarette to keep it safe, I ask aloud - but it isn't there. Then I find the bits in my pocket, all destroyed.

I go back to the steps, where I stashed a couple of drinks I'm trying to drink to sober up. One I realize is red wine in a fancy Italian-looking bottle; I can't drink that, because it will make me more drunk. I take a big swig from another one, but then I realize it's red wine too, though it's in a smaller bottle. Dang it, I keep getting more drunk.

I wonder who videotaped the wedding? I didn't, I just took pictures. I think somebody else was doing it.
