Whether sending or receiving, 99% of the time, drunk IMs are fun. They are even better than drunk dialing, because if you are smart enough to leave the IMs open, you can laugh at yourself/your friend the next day. Drunk dialing you may leave some crazy voicemail and find out days later that you emulated the entire Mario Brother's background music...no, I'm not kidding.
The reason this is coming up is because I got a drunk IM last night. It was from a guy I've known and been friends with pretty much since the 6th grade (not counting that one 6mo. period). Now I'm not sure if he's like this with any of his other female friends, but every time he gets drunk, he's in love with me. Last night he told me that he "may marry me someday". Even drunken professions of love make a person feel good. Heaven knows he and I would never make it as a couple, but the fact still remains that he knows I'm special. And anytime he wants to get drunk and tell me that, he's more than welcome.
I had to give him a little bit of a hard time, so I pointed out to him that he only ever tells me that he loves me when he's been drinking. He told me that alcohol brings out the truth in people. I can see that.
But anyone who knows about the six months when we weren't friends would be surprised to hear that was the truth...

But you don't tell the truth
And you're walkin' on a wire
Wearin' someone else's shoes"

"Bright lights of a city shining up ahead
My heart's analyzing every word you said
Did you take me for a fool
Or did you really care?"
