[flophousefloozie]

Ha, they're all the same...

[o'connor]

[flophousefloozie]

Nah, I just heard that song once...

"Can you break up with a friend"?


I'd sure like to. I'm at a point in life where the only people I really enjoy being friends with are even more reclusive shut-ins than I have been lately.

oh god, me too. i can't stand the people who are willing to see me often, some of the people who only talk to me when they need a ridiculous favor are aight though

[atsonicpark]

I just feel so disconnected from everyone else. Nearly everyone I know is a big drug addict. That's how they deal with all their problems. I mean, sure, whatever works for them, but that's just not really my scene (not that I don't occasionally do some types of drugs... not often though). I dunno.

i'm going to find myself in a place i'd rather not be caught dead in....mcdonalds canada is giving away free coffee during breakfast, no purchase needed. i feel as though my fast acting european digestive system can maybe put them out of business

[Dead-Air]

My wife last night decided that her return to the world of being a stripper had been a monumental bad decision (mostly because of the drinking and lack of respect that go with the territory and also that the big money is a thing of the past with the economy what it is).

So I'm happy she came to her senses and that our relationship survived this insane period (and there were some up parts I can look back on when I need fantasy material). And I'm completely freaked out to be the only income in a three person family at the moment.

I feel kind of like I've been in that nightclub with House of Pain covers pretending to have a good time for a few months now. And I've got the psychological equivalent of the hangover to show for it.

I've said it before, but Kim and Thurston make this married alternative couple stuff look way too fucking easy.

i totally feel this...it sucks when people would rather spend the night figuring out where/how to get their next drug instead of making music or something...blech

I think life is always a learning lesson, and like you said, you two survived it, so that's a huge deal. Do you have a kid? Is your wife looking for something else now? Serving, maybe? Big tips there...

Yup, I can relate to that, and I've kinda given up on trying to choose my path at the moment....I guess I'm scared that I'm well on my way to fading myself out of my own life, but am uninterested/unsure of any other option really.

How long can you stand in that room before you go batshit crazy? Or just comatose.

[flophousefloozie]

Play it day by day, that's how I feel.

Yeah, she's looking. Got right to it, to her credit. Serving might be possible. We do have a 13 month old son, and she's a grad student, so she's up against a difficult schedule as well as one of the most unemployed cities in the country right now. But I guess this is better than the psychological damage that was going on. Still lots more to survive though.

Everything seems bleak for everyone right now.. Good luck, though. You've got your family..

Yeah, and I had to make some serious changes and concessions to keep that. Totally worth it. Thanks.

i hate that! with my last ex, it got to the point where it seemed like all he would talk about was the next time he could get some acid, and the stuff he drew when he was on shrooms... it just sort of became his life, because he didn't really have much else goin' for him, i guess.

I thought I was being a kind person by going there. I was told that a girl, whom I've been friends with since we were tiny little girls, needed me back in her life, because she's going down "the wrong path", and I needed to "be her friend" that night. (Sorry about the obsessive use of quotations, but sometimes a point must be drawn across)

Anyway, I was stuck in a situation, where I could have mistaken my life for that of a thirteen year old (given the intoxicated state of mind I forced upon myself, anything was possible). Don't get me wrong, even if I were sober, I'd still have felt like a child again...

I ended up waiting around until around 4:00 in the morning (I'm an old lady, it's hard on me), since I thought it best to stay somewhere in the ol' suburbs, since at that point, I was drawn astray, and quite far from my downtown home. Finally, I said I wouldn't do it any longer, and spent a bloody $40 on a cab!!

Well, anyway, I don't rant much on here, so I hope you will forgive me.

Feel free to add stories/complaints of anything or whatnot..

and i thought you were going to talk about our crazy encounter the other night.

thank you for your discretion.
