<human>: Can you provide a brief overview of the text?

It was at my friend's 21st birthday. I had a mandatory work meeting the next day at 8am. I don't think I had ever been more shit faced. 

At one point during the night, I fell off my chair onto the floor. Reenactments people have shown me resemble blank eyes staring out into space and, like a tree, falling completely sideways and straight onto the ground. I don't remember the falling. Just the being on the floor.

My friends decided I needed to lie down and ushered me to the couch despite my protests. I didn't want to lie down because I knew that I would probably fall asleep/pass out if I did, and I would most likely miss my work meeting the next day. 

Like a boss, I was determined to make it to my meeting. I thought to myself, well, if I don't close my eyes, I can't fall asleep right? So I refused to shut my eyes. I thought I was just keeping them open normally, but alas, I was, in reality, holding them open as wide as I could. 

People kept coming over to me wondering what was wrong and taking their picture with me. I didn't understand why until I saw pictures posted on Facebook a few days later.

And yes, I did make it to my work meeting.
<bot>: To not pass out, decided to keep eyes open as wide as possible. Can't fall asleep if my eyes aren't closed!
