emotional thread

[Dorothy Wood]

I am feeling nostalgic for days gone by. I miss my old friends. I miss my new friends. I want things to be the way they used to be. I want to be excited by something or someone.

is this how life is now really? a whole lot of words on a screen?

I need a hug.

He is right - the 80s was pretty terrible.

i miss my old friends too. i didn't have that many friends in college, but at least i kept them close, i could rely on them to have a thing or two to do with on the weekend.

but since i've moved to boston i really haven't made very many friends. there's a few people at school i talk to but i rarely, rarely see them outside of school. and i have a small circle of friends outside of school but i only hang out with them every other weekend or so, and the people i work with are mostly horrible toad women with nasty smokers' lung voices who love to talk about the diseases that their friends and families have while i'm trying to concentrate so clearly there's no bonding to be done there so i'd say i spend about 95% of my time alone

i should be bored or depressed and i guess for the first 2 years or so i was but now i dunno i'm just kind of cool with it. i mean i'm sure that when i'm 50 i won't be saying "yeah i'm so cool with the fact that when i was 24 i spent every saturday night drinking alone in my room posting on a message board about the beastie boys" but that's like a million years away. i mean i do feel kind of shitty spending the majority of my weekends alone in my room when there's a big lively city out there and my prime is rapidly fading but shit, i'm supposed to go out there alone? i'm supposed to be the creepy guy going out to bars and clubs and shows by himself that everyone looks at and says "oh my, look at that loser," no, i don't think that's me

anyway my point is i know how you feel i think? or no, i was just talking about myself actually

I didn't, but I did just watch a youtube video of my friends performing "with a little help from my friends" at a party I went to 5 years ago. we threw a television out of a window that night. everyone looks so young and happy. and we were all together all the time, every party, every weekend, every body.

I remember that day/night so well. my friend that I had a crush on accidentally punched his girlfriend in the face and she left. I told my ex's girlfriend at the time that I really liked her and thought she was a great person. I made fun of a lady I didn't know for wearing a modest mouse t-shirt. and then we became friends and are still friends. a friend who became a boyfriend told everybody that I thought another guy had a hot body. one of my friends asked me why I dressed like a boy all the time. cort spilled boxed red wine on her shirt and got it out with oxy clean.

I was nervous, yet comfortable. an outsider, yet part of something.


the old days.

change is inevitable. saying that...

I've been in a nostalgic mood since mothers day. Plus I have a major stress with my parents house costing me 4 times my income to keep it empty. Fucking buyers pulling out :mad: Anyway, I know what you mean, but when I think about things most people my age prefer who they are now and where they are going than when they was 21. Even if, say if you was like me, you had more friends, more money, a healthier liver etc. And even though you seem to have more major stresses and life altering events now, you still get happier as life goes on even though it may have seemed to of taken a few steps back things are still better - even in the CREDIT CRUNCH!

I know these replies have no points, what I am saying is that looking to the future when you take the past into consideration, you know you are only getting stronger emotionally and since happiness is an emotion I think its only gonna manifest itself into more happiness.

^^hmmms, but maybe if some1 getting more miserable that'll manifest instead. At least with Climate Change we'll have more sunny days! YAY!

i think its just that transition faze. for me atleast anyways. a general feeling of anxiety about knowing what you had, and not knowing what your going to have. where your going to be. what your going to be doing.

everything was "perfect" for you. you had your group of friends, you were always together. then as you grow older you can tend to grow apart just because you change as people, or because of jobs friends need to move and dont see each other as much.

im lucky most of my friends are still in the area we grew up. but they are changing. 2 are already married. 1 is thinking about proposing. it really changes the dynamic of a friendship, suddenly hanging out with your buddies isnt the number one priority. i dont blame them, its just you wish for the way it was at times.

but then again its all part of growing up.

lol

today I was driving thru Burbank, listening to NPR, "This American Life" was on, and there was this story written by some kid who had a failed suicide attempt - by dousing a bathrobe in gas and going into the bathroom and lighting it on fire... I ended up crying in the car. I can be such a sap sometimes, but gah, it was really sad.

I found that making friends with a bunch of people with DUIs made life a lot more interesting.

And when that's not an option, there's always something to do. Something to learn. Something new to try. More clothes to wash... crap.

i hate seeing people from the past

I think it's about making the best of what you got. And anything you are unhappy with, or you are looking for something exciting, work on changing those things or look for it.

It doesn't always happen on it's own. Sometimes you have to make it happen.

Poetry in motion coconut lotion
I had to diss the girl because she got too emotional
Are you experienced little girl
I want to know what goes on in your little girl world
Give time for your mind it's hard to forget me
I'll take your pride for a ride if you let me
So peace out now, and keep peacing out
Full throttle to the bottle and full full clout
And I'm out
