Lifted from IM conversation:

Me:
     How did Hemmingway managed to write when he drank so much? *

Lavinia *seriously*:
     Hemmingway had lots of practice

D  *agrees*:
     Lots and lots and lots of practice.
     Also, I think you have to have issues

* * *

I love friends. :-)

*Note: I have discovered that after about one glass of wine I become incapable of writing anything but REALLY abstract, lyrical poetry and/or fic. And if The Sun Also Rises is to believed and translated into reality, Hemmingway was at least tipsy constantly...*shakes head in amazement*

Lol, when did we even have that conversation? I barely remember it.

Wine makes me sleepy, which is not highly conducive to writing.

the convo is actually a bit parsed from individual convos with you and D (couldn't decide on a better name for him, FAIL) and from AGES ago. Like, when I wasn't actually in Spain, long ago.

There's a joke that some bars in Spain put up signs: Hemmingway did NOT drink here.

Because that would make it more unusual.

Drinking makes me sleepy and MORE incoherent. I mean, you know, you've been there, but...yeah.

Also, do you like my tag? *grins* It's a very complex inside joke that's going to be confusing to explain to anyone else.

OH. I hadn't even known who you were talking about with "D." Honestly, I think "Dom" is safe.

Yes, I do indeed love your tag.
