^^ Unfortunatly no new job.... That would be fantastic! Still off on medical for another month and a half odd... Basicly sums up to Ive had a breakdown of sorts, I need this time to get my head and body right (or so im told).
Seems to be working, the absence of alcohol is awesome too and im off anti-deps!! proof in the pudding IMO that they are just no good for some people having just gone thru every different kind with nothing but bad results until now. Said in another thread "I'm now self medicating on endorphins";)
Still need to have a couple of zanax a day, Thats either gonna be permant or a case of WEEN discography:\
 
I saw that post that's fantastic endorphines are the way to go. Alcohol is my demon too. It's so hard to stay away from it x.x.

No plans for tonight?
 
SMFG I am so glad to hear you're doing so well mate!! Keep it up! <3 Endorphins are nature's anti-depressant, and the best kind of addiction to have in my opinion ;)


Any plans for the weekend everyone? I've gotta knuckle down and get some uni work done. There's a big party on tonight but I think I have to be sensible and give it a miss. Booooo :|
 
Woah N3o school work! Kudos lady on getting down on the grind.

Me, I am sipping some of the finest $6 can buy me. I wish I had somewhere to go tonight or something to do other than sitting home. New town means no friends. Borrring.
 
Thanks honey!

What about some of the people at work. Are any of them your age? Do they do anything fun on the weekends?
 
I've asked them at work what they do here. Nobody really has any suggestions. I got the typical "we go to bars" (ugh) If I am going to drink I'm definitely not going to pay an arm and a leg for my drinks or sit in uncomfortable chairs trying to look cool.

I really miss the beach and the ocean. My boyfriend and I used to comb the beach at night and take our dogs for a run on the sand. I am still trying to wean myself from the ocean. It is a drug in itself. God I miss it more than anything.


Red I enjoyed that minute it took me to open those two NSFW buttons. We should do this more often. <3 I laughed.

It took about 4 and a half months until I did anything social other than work, and buy food/video games.

this week i went to an art show. lasted about 10 minutes, said hello to someone and went home, but eventually i got out and talked.

and tomorrow im going out for drinks.

good things happen, you gotta have patience to wait for a good time, and gumption to try.
 
That's cool you got to an art show. Finding friends is so hard. I was at work yesterday and this girl I had never met before was chatting me up. She was so out going and funny. I knew we would have potential to be friends. She seemed to be the only person with a bit of humorous personality in the place. And then she tells me today (yesterday) was her last day. My face went from laughing at her humorisms to flat. Of course it was her last day.

What kind of art was at the show btw?

Make a note:

"It's too bad you're leaving, because we have so much in common and we would probably have helped each others' days go by faster. Best of luck with the next chapter. Hit me up on Facebook at your name"

Leave it somewhere she can find it, just nothing too creepy or it will look like you're hitting on her. If you still feel awkward, you only left the note because you didn't get a chance to say goodbye to her in person. Facebook is really good at making things like this feel less awkward.
 
In my perfect outgoing world where I was the person I thought I was in my mind I would have suggested we hang out or become friends on Facebook. But instead I said the typical "nice knowing you" bullshit as she walked away. She is long gone at this point. I feel quite unreceptive to new friends.

Now that I am thinking about how I could have approached it I probably should have tried to engage in something to become friends. Ugh. I will try to keep that in mind and put myself out there better next time I guess.

At least I have bluelight friends <3 or just bluelight as a big loving entity.

What does missing 7 AA meetings in a row make?

It makes one weak!


What do AA and the mob have in common?

You stop being loyal, you will die!


So bad that they actually are kinda funny.

LOLOL these are like recovery-related popsicle stick jokes! Aweeeesome!
 
Tonites activities will include staying home, movies, video games and something sweet. Ive done tha active stuff for today, Couple of 2hundred meter sprints (down to the shops in the pissing rain lol) least it motivated me to run fast :D
But now im done, hangin here for the rest of the day bein a sloth and lurkin the internets:\
 
Did somebody say sloth? Because I'd swear that somebody said sloth. ;)

Went to an impromptu houseparty last night. Was supposed to be a small do-- a pint or two and maybe 7 or 8 people. Well, each of those 7 or 8 called friends, and it turned into a bit of a rager. Which was fine, except that between my poor hearing and mediocre ability to 'work a room' left me off in a corner rather than meeting some cool new people. But I didn't generally feel too uncomfortable, which was a victory; but realized that I still have a long way to go in my social training, which was (necessarily) humbling.

Today, I'm meeting the friend who invited me to said party for brunch, then probably doing some spring cleaning. :|
 
Oh very nice Dave on the party going and not completely failing at social interaction! I hope you enjoy your brunch.

If my boyfriend ever wakes up I am hoping he will have an awesome plan for us for our day off today. Buuuut if he can't think of anything cool I have a really long list of things we need to clean and or projects we can start around the house.

Also our new neighbors just knocked on the door. They brought us bread again. They bring us bread every week. It's an oddly nice gesture but I don't really understand it at all.

DAVE! I love sloths! That video is incredible!:)<3

Stardust, I hope you have a great day today. I emptied my PM box if you want to talk! I agree that the ocean is an addiction. Every time I contemplate moving away from it, I can't imagine. Maybe you can make a daytrip this weekend?
 
^^ I am absolutely sure that in my former lives I was a tortoise, a giraffe and a sloth.

Had a fancy sit-in with an old friend of mine. We didn't do much together in the last years, but now we are reviving that old friendship. We were both a lil bit overtired and therefore in an absurd kind of mood. Talked a lot, played some Call Of Duty by projector, chuffed cigars and after that we somehow ended up playing singstar 80s edition. That was hilarious and big time fun, afterwards I was so dizzy that I could have sworn I had indulged sth.
