as I down several glasses of self-pity, each with a tiny shot of self-loathing mixed in, blended to perfection, icy and with a potent sting as it creeps down the throat?

There's enough to go around.

Besides, I figure I can always delete this when I come to my senses.

Why are you feeling sorry for yourself?

I'm not so much feeling sorry for myself as I am wishing I had my own apartment...or at least didn't live with roommates who are slobs and who have filthy cats who sh*t all over the goddamn house.

Uh...because my air conditioner isn't working. Okay, that's not really it.

But I'm sorry you have to live with annoying people. :( I've lived with some people I wanted to strangle at times, too. It's a very unpleasant feeling, thinking you don't want to go home and so you just stay somewhere else as long as possible.

Well, the people themselves aren't annoying. It's the f*cking cats I hate. I want to soak their cat food in Prestone. :mad:

I mean, it's really bad...the house smells really bad...because of the cats. I don't know what the deal is....and the cats are not friendly at all. They're practically feral. I don't know why my roommates have them. :shrug:

I guess you could do what someone I know used to do when he had to live with cats because he lived with their owners. He would just kick them if they got on his nerves and that somehow made him feel better. (Okay I'm not really recommending that by any means).

I don't think that would make me feel better. It certainly wouldn't stop them from sh*tting everywhere. :distress:

Please come live with me in my dorm. I have Lindsey...well, sort of. You know what I mean.

Sorry, I don't mean to make light of things.

I'm glad someone else finally appreciates the cocktail named after me, which I consume nightly. I didn't know it had made it all the way to LA, though.
:xoxo:


Wait, lux - have you been looking for other places? Online and stuff?:confused:

Aw. :xoxo: Down here in LA there's much need for Amber consumption. There are people with many, many more reasons to feel self-pity than I have right now and somehow that's not stopping me.

Never does. Unless you really, really, really, really think about it. And even then it might not work. :(
If you go hiking and biking uphill for an hour and a half, you feel better. :shrug:
So tonight I'm substituting my Amberita for a beer.:)
What's wrong?

Amberita. I like that.

Uh, what's wrong is that I hate message boards. And I'm posting on one. So, what's really wrong is that I'm a sadomasochist.

Are you mad at message boards? That happens to me, too. But then I can't stop, either. Well, I could, but...

You haven't found anything in six months?!?!?! That's strange. There's always roomates and sublets and stuff here, even though apts. are really expensive. I'm really suprised you haven't found anything. Why can't you renew your lease? Are they selling the house or something? I'm confused! And I haven't even had any beer...

Weren't you living at home not too long ago? Could you go back for a short time? Just til you find somewhere? Likely not the best scenario, but it would buy you some time. Would your landlord let you stay on maybe for another month?

Do you hate this message board? You're really a masochist if you hate it and you're on here right now, while you are hating it. Why don't you have another Hillatini? Maybe you'll feel better.

Sorry you're feeling like crap, too. Can I join you in one of those drinks? I just found out this week that the best friend I've ever had got a job in another city (another country, actually) and is moving away. :(

Pity party - yippee!

Well, I woke up at 3 AM this morning to the sound of my fridge making electrocution noises and smoke coming out the back of it. Of course, I just went shopping Fri. nite, so it's full of food. Made a call to a 24-hour appliance repair place. By the time the guy showed up, fixed it, and left, it was 6:30 AM. $200 and a new compressor relay box thingie later, it's working again.

Roommates suck. I'd rather spend what I have to spend to live alone than put up with anyone's crap.

I'm really hungry.
Oh, lame. So you can only stay a certain amount of time.
I thought you had income.
Sorry.
Do you have camping gear?

Sorry - ignore my post above. Didn't realize. Hope you find something. A friend to put you up maybe?

My Hillatini is this cheap raspberry flavored water. Anyway...I hate a forum of this message board, yeah. Thankfully I'm posting in another one so it's less painful.

I'm really, really sorry Cat. :( That is where everything began for me--one of my best friends and my platonic love just up and moved to Arkansas. I know how much that hurts.

GateandGarden 11-13-2005 11:54 PM
Lux, I'm really sorry...I know saying that fifteen times doesn't help anything...

Well, I've been looking around at apartments. Unfortunately, I can't afford to go too much higher than $500 a month. Any suggestions? :D

Thanks. I'm sorry for you, too. I guess you really do know what it feels like. I'm trying to be all positive for my friend - cause it's an amazing job and I really AM so proud of her. But the little selfish part of me is just miserable. I moved to this city just over 3 years ago - and I truly know that the major reason I love it so much is because she's been such a great friend and we have such great times. We just clicked. And she is the glue that holds many of us all together - the reason we all know each other and get together. I'm so afraid that when she goes we'll all just never hang out anymore. And I'll just stay home all the time alone and depressed. :(

I'm on my third glass of misery now. You?

I'm sorry. :( Hopefully when she leaves you and your other friends will still hang out though I know it won't be the same.

I know it must be really hard to be positive for her. I tried that with mine and I was just very transparent in my fakeness. I generally suck at pretending to be anything, though.

I'm still working on my 16.9 ounce bottle of misery.

ragandbone 11-14-2005 12:09 AM
Cocktail?
I'll have 3.


It sounds like everyone is in a funk tonight.

Oh well. I'll wear it like an albatross. It's okay if it's a Fleetwood Mac reference. :laugh:

Sorry I can't help you with the male pregnancy issue. That's beyond me.

You can delete threads.:shrug: At least I can.

Sorry Cat and Hill. Sucks about your friends. :( But I have no real good friends in town. I have one, and she's kind of a good friend, but we don't really have much in common and we don't hang out much. A few other acquaintances. What's my point? Well, one - that I suck, and two - that you won't die, probably. Your life just won't be as fun. Ok? Better?

Oh yeah. Did I say that? I meant to. Did I? I hope everyone feels better. And I don't recommend mixing the Amberita and the Hillatini. And if you have to work the next day it's better to just stick to Lux Lites.
