vague and bleary-eyed randomness

Some things are just random and bizarre. What a strange and wonderful weekend.

He picked up the gin and tonic, took a small sip, and discreetly as possible, turned his head away and spit it over the arm of the couch onto the floor.

I tried to contain my mirth, failed and was asked blandly,

It's just past 6 am, I'm barely awake and trying my best to make a discreet exit. The whole building is dead quiet. I know the stairs are somewhere down the hallway, but my contacts have long since fused to my eyes and I can't see the EXIT sign anywhere. I choose a direction and just as I set off, this random girl nearly walks right into me as she exits a bathroom. I'm totally surprised and nearly have a heart attack; she gasps and nearly screams... we both looked at one another, muttered sorry and fled in opposite directions. It was just luck that I picked the correct direction and found the stairs. My heart didn't stop racing until I started the car.
