Can The Adults Please Smoke? Part 26: Apparently They Can Drink, too!- Page 108

Thank you, Tink. That's wonderful advice, though I'm not sure how ready I am to take it. I just feel like I need a break, and it isn't working, because I see him all the time.

You can always come to NY more often for breaks...

Just saying.

Totally understandable - but just a note - you'd be feeling just as worse if you DIDN'T see him all the time. It's a cruel double edged sword - damned if you do, damned it you don't. Life is just mean like that.

I know it is weird for me to say it because I was with one person from age 17 to 24, but from what i understand, this is all part of the growth process. There will be many more joyous moments and many more crappy depressing moments in your future...just enjoy the good ones while ya got them and then drown yourself in ice cream during the bad ones. I think if you ever wanted to see an incredible projection of people who have been through some really bad crap but was able to once again find happiness....it's the main posters on this thread. They are the ones that give me hope daily.

They are the ones that give me hope daily.

And you to us, Tink.

For me, I think I just give drinks.

Posted: 11/16/08 at 3:33pm

Thank you, both of you. I know what you mean, Tink. Without some of the people here, I'm not sure how I would fare.

Better? Okay, bad joke.

[Q]

Tink - that was wonderful for you to share. You've experienced more than many, and have learned much.

Wow. "Something's Gotta Give" is on TV right now, and it came to this scene, only to have me burst into tears.


MARIN

So now you get my theory about
love? You gotta self protect. It's
too dangerous.

ERICA

Marin, that theory... how can I put
this so your feelings won't get
hurt. It's just so crazy, it makes
me want to SCREAMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!

MARIN

And how would you put it if you
wanted to hurt my feelings?

ERICA

Listen to me... you cannot hide
from love for the rest of your life
because maybe it won't work out and
maybe you'll become unglued. That's
not a way to live.

DGG - Can you get your tuchus here for a cryfest about boys?

Posted: 11/16/08 at 6:39pm

As if I haven't already been crying for three days straight? God. I sooooo would if I could. December, honey. December.

I seriously have burst into tears at least four times today, and I'm not exagerating at all. Also, I get hungry, but as soon as I get food, I'll think about it all for a split second, and my appetite is gone.

Alright, let's perk up. Don't wanna bring the boys down. They prefer being up.

[Q]

Posted: 11/16/08 at 6:44pm

Back in the day, before enough of these experiences had piled up to toughen me up a bit, I used to get high, put on Bette Midler singing "Am I Blue" andd wail like my insides were being pulled out through my butt.

And then I had the munchies, so I'd forget my troubles while I tried to locate the nearest 7-Eleven.

Posted: 11/16/08 at 6:49pm

Yeah, I'm belting Regina Spektor in the common room, much to the dismay of the rest of the floor, and folding my laundry.

It probably doesn't help at all that I pulled an all-nighter last night, and am way overtired. But still. As Q said, my insides definitely feel like they're being pulled out.

[shira467]

Posted: 11/16/08 at 6:55pm

Q - Um, that sounds like a REALLY good idea right now!

DGG - Regina Spektor? I approve. Which reminds me, I need to do laundry. I'm sort of out of clothes.

Posted: 11/16/08 at 6:58pm

I've moved on to "Build Me Up, Buttercup." Regina was depressing me more.

I LOVE that song. Been ages.

For the girls -
from someone who understands.

The cows decorate the thread for christmas

[shira467]

Posted: 11/16/08 at 8:38pm

That's not fair, Harris. This is the only place I can come to where I can decorate for Hannukah!

[shameless]

Posted: 11/16/08 at 8:43pm

And what about Thanksgiving?

[shira467]

Posted: 11/16/08 at 8:44pm

And why are the cows automatically Christian, HUH? Depending on how I slaughter them, they could become Kosher and JEWISH!

[shameless]

Posted: 11/16/08 at 8:46pm

Oh, you are SO getting coal in your stocking!

Posted: 11/16/08 at 8:49pm

*snicker*

I painted my nails blood red...or crimson, according to Deet.

[D2]

Posted: 11/16/08 at 9:01pm

Shira, I love you!

Tink: Love, hugs and prayers to you. Along with copious amounts of liquor.

Shamey: HI!

Q: Hi 2!

DGG: I didn't tell you that I was in almost the exact same position as you - I was head over heels for this guy who was in my class and I saw him EVERY F*CKING DAY for 4 F*CKING years. It was torture. But I pulled through it. My song, of course, was Dorothy Collins singing LOSING MY MIND.

[shira467]

Posted: 11/16/08 at 9:05pm

DGG, I believe Deet said "scarlet".

Actually, I just figured it was the only way to differentiate to between Christian and Jewish cows. Unless Jewish cows get circumcised.
