litany in which certain things are crossed out

“Dan would have wagered it wasn’t a good sign if his head was pounding before he even got to the party, but in order to do that he’d have to actually think. And thinking is on the List of Things Dan Howell Should Avoid Doing Tonight. So he doesn’t think of his incessant headache, nor of the warning his Language professor gave him right after today’s lecture, and he certainly doesn’t think of how sluggish his body feels even while sober.

It’s easy once he’s there, leaning against the wall in somebody’s living room with somebody else’s sweaty and intoxicated body rubbing against his own. The music is loud and finally provides a reasonable excuse for his head to pound. He’s holding a shot glass in one hand and batting away the freshman who insists on giving him an upright lap dance with his other and this, Dan reckons, is about as good as it gets.”
