Want to know what I miss about my 20’s? Random phone calls at 2:00 a.m. from drunken friends or exs or people of “interest.” Those conversations were ALWAYS fun.

Maybe it was the unexpectedness, or the way you wound up talking about something sort of deep, or really honest, or totally off-the-wall because you were half-asleep and your guard was down, and the drunk ass on the other end was being all sweet and complimentary.

I don’t get those anymore. However I did get a 7:00 a.m. call from my friend Darla a few weeks back. She called (and woke me up) to tell me she didn’t want me calling later and waking HER up because she hadn’t gone to bed yet. But, that was just annoying, so it doesn’t count.
