I am here posting late x vodka and thought about something as it clicked in my mind.

a) a have been a semi-social-hermit for years

b) I seem to have forgotten my suave which got me far in life

thusly, I am feeling like crap a little as I feel I am neither interesting nor funny. shits gotta end!

I have had a few vodka and sodas hoping I would be struck by a ray-of-enlightenment but none is coming.

however, I seem to arrived at this conclusion. Lemme know if you think this is a decent observation or if it is pure bullshit.

a) one must force oneself to push outside of one's comfort zone to absorb new and different stimuli in order to advance creatively

b) it is important to bullshit with people other than your loved one (on internets or in public) otherwise, you get socially retarded.

whatever the case may be, I was thinking about myself as I was in 2006 or so - and although I was really depressed half the time I felt I was growing and changing, etc. basically, more interesting and less of a boring, quiet guy. * when you don't have anything to lose, you take risks, and those risks create change, good or bad *

but then again, sometimes I wonder if I have achieved a state of awesomeness not unlike the lazy yet wise creatures from the Dark Crystal (http://lh5.ggpht.com/_PUo7JBUjU2c/Sd6kwnjo46I/AAAAAAAANYw/2vTdKG3yN_c/s400/Dark%20Crystal%20Mystic.jpg) and I should stop second guessing myself.

Honestly, I don't know what to acomplish from this thread.

I like staying in more lately.Most people are fucking weirdo cunts out there and the less I have to interact with them the better.

I just agree with these two.

In serious relationships b can be kind of tricky as most of the time you want to be with your loved one but I find a good balance with one on one, us two with mutual friends having a good time, then a day or night here and there where we do our own thing is best. Mixing it up and all. The fact that he has to go out of town every so often for work helps too.

the more time you spend alone, the harder it is to socialize, and the harder it is to socialize, the more time you want to spend alone. i've been caught in this spiral for over 3 years now, it gets pretty low

wrong forum!




oh, hermitude. it helps me to have a day during the week where I socialize. that way, if I feel like staying in all weekend, I can be like, "oh well, I did that thing on thursday, so I can stay in". I'm also a performer though, so I have a lot of stupid events to go to all the time. It used to be exciting, and I'd stay out real late and get super drunk and have a blast after each one. but now I'm like, "eh, we're done? okay, I go home now". :p

I guess what I mean is, it's not so bad being a lazy and wise old creature. (y)

Yeah, I'm doomed, between running my site, playing games, not drinking enough milk, and living in a cave...
