I'm looking forward to Christmas with my family... I'm gonna get to see some old friends and stuff too, including my best friend who is a professional musician and I can't wait to talk to him about music a whole bunch. But at the same time, I can't wait til after it either, so I can come back and finally get to see my girlfriend. And New Year's in going to be fun, my friends and I are going to take methylone and have a great night. Maybe my girl will join, that would be cool. Even if she doesn't she's always cool to chill with while I'm tripping/rolling.![]()
I think I might have pneumonia or something, I've been putting off making a Dr.'s appointment though. Also, toilet overflow shit-water bathroom disaster. Bleh, what a day, I tell you.
Anyhow, as it is December, I'm now a poinsettia. In the language of the flowers, the poinsettia means celebration, success, or good cheer.

tnw said:just spent four days in a psych ward
So my first day in the loony bin, there was this girl named Kayla (she and like 1/3 plus of the inmates were disproportionately African-American), she was also bipolar, I dunno, life circumstance wise, we had nothing in common, but as soon as I saw her, I felt like she was like me, which was the first time I have ever felt that, and I was really proactive about getting to know her and supporting her that one day that we knew each other, there were a bunch of hugs initiated by me when she was transferred to a lower security unit at the end of the day. The rest of the weekend I got in with some girl named Ivrielle who I met at the end of that first day, she was a barrel full of sunshine (also in for attempted suicide, she ate a bottle of acetominophen) and very supportive towards everyone, we were practically inseparable, and played a lot of dominoes together (she was slightly better than I was, and the best person there at the time, she'd grin ear to ear and dance in her seat whenever she was winning.. Anyway, after she left things were quieter, and I did one of the few things in my life that I am proud of, there was this old black dude in his sixties or seventies who would only appear at meals and spend the rest of his time in his room, but for 5 or 10 minutes each night he'd sit out in the common room. Well, one night he did that happened to be a time that I finally got in control of the radio (which was normally set to hip-hop or EDM), and I had it on the jazz station, it was Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and Billie Holiday back to back that night, so I was totally rocking out to it not paying attention to anything, and he noticed, so when that was done he and I got to talking about jazz. We had a good talk, and after that I convinced him to join our dominoes group, and he was crazy good, knew everything in my hand through sheer probability and devoted himself to preventing me from winning (I was the best player there at the time, and he was wildly successful at this). And I remember, when his wife and kids came to visit one night, they were just glowing to see him interacting with other people, and that made me feel like I was a good person for bringing that about.TNW said:well, at least i realized i'm pretty sane compared to a lot of people. met a few people that i think i will maintain friendship with now that we're out. including an awesome 82 year old dude named Bill who has such a knack for telling stories he could make the phone book sound interesting. super wise too. i think i'm going to go to church with him and his wife Emma this sunday
yeah THR that psych ward does sound a lot more nuts than the one i was in. the one i went to only had 20 beds, and they weren't all full. mostly just attempted suicides in there, but also a handful of drug addicts and an organic dementia or two.
if anything, what i learned from my stay there was that i don't have it that bad. i was legitimately the most well off person there as far as my mental state and my life. i heard so many sad stories. =/
