Actually, the old fashioned method was either a mill or press, or to stamp upon them with your feet. It is difficult to get the image out of your mind when you do something like that. Especially if they start bouncing.
You don't even live in a vineyard anymore so it's not exactly a problem for you currently. Not that it would be even if you did live in one, since the grapes have yet to be affected. Also.... fucking gross, people really did use their feet?
My mother still does, so I consider it a problem if she's suddenly seeing things I do not remember seeing. And yes, people really did use their feet. They still do in some parts of the world.
You needn't worry. Alcohol is a perfect disinfectant, after all, and they have to age for years.
She is my mother. I am entitled to worry, even if for no reason. She worries after me, after all. Such is just how it is.
And you needn't be too concerned. You are a touch young to be imbibing such things in this place, are you not? Not to mention more obedient than I am when it comes to that sort of thing.
[Says the hypocrite with the fake ID who drunk texted him the other night.]
Not all my time, and I gave up alcohol for Lent. I have been given far too many reasons to drink in excess lately, so it seemed safest. What do you take me for, some sort of lush?
You Americans have foolish laws for such things. It treats people as children who are not, but that is something for another day. Forty days, in all.
If you are worried, do not be surprised if I do not pick it up again. I am sensible enough to know that the situation we are in is a bad one to be intoxicated during.
I never said I was worried. And don't let me stop you from getting white girl wasted. Although you should probably not do that when you are by yourself wtf?? It's one thing if you're with friends but to me it sounded like you were on your own that one time.
I should be able to find someone. But, for now, it is Lent and that means it will not be happening. And I wasn't alone when the night started. Someone ditched me. I was actually calling somebody to come meet me when you and I spoke.
Well, let us just say that I will not be sharing the fruit of the vine with that someone anytime soon. I prefer my wing girls to be, how do you say, prompt?
You would not make an especially good wing girl anyway, for obvious reasons. Besides, I would not do that to someone who did not wished to join me on such an endeavor. It does not seem to be the sort of thing to suit your temperament.
That doesn't mean I'm going to let you run off on me, Karkat. Sorry, but you're stuck with me. Still, I can appreciate that you're going to need time to warm up to me.
[If they were actually speaking, there would have been a 'they always do' sort of tone to that statement. It didn't carry over into text well, though.]
I think you mean 'over confident.' And yes, perhaps, but I still find you at least a little interesting, and more than a little helpful. I don't regret having met you, Karkat. Now, I just have to work on making the feeling mutual, mister surly pants.
Fine, fine, monsieur fussy britches. You and these challenges will be either the death of us, or the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Only time will tell.
[Careful. She's got a thousand stupid names she can call you, Karkat.]

Do you think she might suddenly be experiencing these things too?
Somehow I am not convinced.

You're still not even old enough to do that here, regardless of what drinking laws are elsewhere.
How long is Lent again?
