Tired and emotional

19 actual things that have made me emotional while hungover

*wipes tear from eye*

PRESENTED IN NO particular order.

1. The episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians where Kim realises marrying Kris Humphries was a grave mistake.

Me, hungover: “It could happen to any of us. We all make mistakes. We are all Kim.”

2. Men having little hobbies, especially anything to do with pigeons or greyhounds.

Me, hungover: “Are you literally trying to kill me here?”

3. A promo for the London Olympics with Adele’s “Hometown Glory” playing over it.

Me, hungover: “ADELE IS THE ONLY PERSON WHO UNDERSTANDS ME AND ALSO I MISS THE OLYMPICS.”

4. Thinking about Katie Taylor. Just in general.
