attn: Megs, Drana, ???
TheLustyGhost - 5/14/09, 10:55 am
Complain about it in here.
TEX - 5/14/09, 11:01 am
Tell it to "Lusty the Listener" ...
TheLustyGhost - 5/14/09, 11:02 am
No, just complain about it to the internet at large.

It's been showing up in enough threads that it needs a base camp.
Drana - 5/14/09, 11:02 am
OH HALLO, IS THERE PUNCH AND PIE?
TheLustyGhost - 5/14/09, 11:06 am
I jsut meant this thread, but if I had a place in the city to host it, I'd have a punch+pie+DEATH BED: THE BED THAT EATS single-and-not-looking clubhouse. Alas, I have no convenient place to host right now, and by the time I move all potential members will probably be looking again.
TEX - 5/14/09, 11:23 am
Saturday night - the Single with Baggage club could meet ...
TheLustyGhost - 5/14/09, 11:41 am
haha

My death bead DVD is sadly packed away, but I do have the werewolf-fighting-vampire movie.
TheLustyGhost - 5/14/09, 11:42 am
Anyway, it sounds like it's going to meet one way or the other, even if it's jsut Mind Yeti coming over after practice, although CMUSnyder isn't single and I can't vouch for lopan's baggage, and mine's actually pretty minimal, considering.
jeffpoot - 5/14/09, 11:43 am
im going to charlies tonight anyone want to get embarassing with me?
TheLustyGhost - 5/14/09, 11:44 am
I'll be in Providence.
TEX - 5/14/09, 11:44 am
I'd like to think I'm relatively baggage free.

Even if I just meet Mind Yeti over at Deep Ellum or something ...

drinks should be drank.
drunk.
flips - 5/14/09, 11:45 am
Can i be in on this? I am not RECENTLY single but I am single and I have the baggage too. The whole monogrammed set from LLBean. Lasts a lifetime so they say.

single or not single, baggage packed, or on the sleeve ...
villon - 5/14/09, 1:35 pm
i'm single and easy as a fucking summer breeze
omar - 5/14/09, 1:35 pm
yeah...could definitely hang in this thread.
Dalton - 5/14/09, 1:36 pm
The only baggage flips has are back packs and fanny packs of awesome.
dsensationale - 5/14/09, 1:40 pm
jeffpoot, i may be at charlie's at some point. probably near the end of the B's game.
flips - 5/14/09, 2:13 pm
Dalton... HOW DID YOU KNOW??
TheLustyGhost - 5/14/09, 8:44 pm
If people want to take this the the IRL Saturday after Mind Yeti practice, I would. I'm bored as shit stuck out in the North Shore for the next three months. I will buy fla-vor-ice for all.
dan g - 5/14/09, 8:47 pm
Hey guys, I was just driving back from FOREVER SINGLE W/ FEAR OF ETERNAL SUFFERING and my car broke down, can I just hang here until this torrential rain (never) stops??

thx

TEX - 5/15/09, 5:25 am
Lust whether it's just you and I ripping bonghits and spinning records at my place or a whole group gathering style get together ... I'm down for some single people activities Saturday evening.
luba - 5/15/09, 5:27 am
feh! i'm not single but this sounds like a fine gathering of individuals. i want to crash your party.
dsensationale - 5/15/09, 5:29 am
luba is good at crashing parties.

one more thing, if you're in a band and have a show, but invited the other chick you're dating to it please don't bring it up when you're on a date with me. thanks
Dalton - 5/15/09, 5:50 am
You do things like that I think you've written your tombstone to read "here lies king weiner"

patrix - 5/15/09, 6:12 am

TEX - 5/15/09, 6:14 am
EVERYone knows the two best ways to break up with someone:

Smother them with attention, and drop the LOVE word early and as often as possible.

OR

Ignore them until they get sick of it and leave you.

Not the same thing at all, but about 6 years ago a guitrist in the band I was in had just broken up with someone and wasn't nearly over her, and she came to one of his shows. It literally gave him the shits, and he was in and out of the bathroom all evening.

I have so much baggage, I can't log into Facebook or MySpace to change my status. :[
TheLustyGhost - 5/15/09, 7:48 am
I have so much baggage I didn't check my email for three days this week.
Drana - 5/15/09, 7:51 am
I am also avoiding Emails.
Drana - 5/15/09, 7:51 am
This might turn into battle for who has the most baggage.
TheLustyGhost - 5/15/09, 7:53 am
I actually don't have nearly as much as I expected to have. Which is weird, because this relationship was about 6x as long as the one before it, yet It left 1/6th the baggage AT MOST. Still sucks, though.
TEX - 5/15/09, 7:53 am
I think I am in the most baggage free space I've ever been in my life.

The past year has been the happiest I've ever been, since I was like, 7 years old ...
megs - 5/15/09, 7:54 am
I just avoid leaving my house, because one of those above mentioned guys lives near me, and I see him all the time with his now gf.
Drana - 5/15/09, 7:55 am
I can relate. I feel so guilty about it, but I can relate.
AmmoniaBooking - 5/15/09, 7:55 am
JUST BROKE UP WITH MINE TEN MINUTES AGO!

WELCOME TO THE CLUB

She seemed nice Robin!
TheLustyGhost - 5/15/09, 7:55 am
This year is shaping up to be a year like that for me... IF IT WEREN'T FOR THIS DAMN BAGGAGE


If you pronounce "baggange" en Français in your head whenever you read it, this thread is better.
AmmoniaBooking - 5/15/09, 7:57 am
THANKS GUYS ANYONE WANNA BE MY DATE TO VICTIMS? I BUY YOU BEERS!

No DATING OR YOU'RE OUT OF THE CLUB, ROBIN
Drana - 5/15/09, 8:00 am
Wait, who instated a no-dating clause and under whose authority?
patrix - 5/15/09, 8:01 am
post anigifs of your baggies
TheLustyGhost - 5/15/09, 8:02 am
Yeah,I guess the autthority should really go to the person with the most baggage, which so far sounds like Megs.
megs - 5/15/09, 8:02 am
you can buy me beer. I won't think of it as a date, just free booze.
AmmoniaBooking - 5/15/09, 8:02 am
ANYTHING GOING ON TONIGHT?
TheLustyGhost - 5/15/09, 8:02 am
patrix, I am going to decline on grounds of keeping the thread SFW.
megs - 5/15/09, 8:03 am
I haven't even gone into where the real baggage came from. This is just stupid little petty shit.
Drana - 5/15/09, 8:03 am
I'm thinking about going to the Roadhouse to bother exxsarahx while she's working. Then I might play new Wii games. Friends are welcome.
TheLustyGhost - 5/15/09, 8:04 am
Oh shit, I found a "GIF OFYOUR BAGGIES" loophole:

Please Hammer, don't hurt me.

I've got baggage.
TheLustyGhost - 5/15/09, 8:06 am
I'm out of the city tonight, but anything Saturday post-practice is possible. Tex and I are hanging out, most likely lopan also, possibly CMUSnyder (haven't heard one way or the other, but he will be at practice) and others. I am not nearly as obnoxious IRL, I can assure you. Just bored.
TheLustyGhost - 5/15/09, 8:08 am
With advance notice could arrange for a Nintendo 64 to be present.
mykecameron - 5/15/09, 8:11 am
i feel like i should join this club, but i dunno if i really have that much baggage. a few weeks ago, i would have signed up for a lifetime membership, but now that some time has passed i'm like "wait, is this really that big a deal?" a little closure does wonders, even if you get it through confirming shitty shitty events via 3rd parties. i have to do round 2 of the old "hey, here's stuff you left at my house, do you have my stuff?" tonight...hopefully will be drama free.
TheLustyGhost - 5/15/09, 8:15 am
Yeah, I'm where you are more or less and I starrted this thread, so I think you're OK. I'm jsut in a weird limbo of having moved out but having to wait until September to move in to the my new place, which is it's pown whole separate form of baggage I guess.
megs - 5/15/09, 8:23 am
so our club is going to have a meeting tomorrow then? I'll prepare a power point presentation if necessary, or I can just provide booze.
Drana - 5/15/09, 8:25 am
Noo, I might go to Providence tomorrow!
jeffpoot - 5/15/09, 8:26 am
is there seriously going to be a meeting place for a bunch of emotionally unstable booze hounds? i can has in?
TheLustyGhost - 5/15/09, 8:27 am
I went to Providence last night, it's pretty much the same as always.


Anyway, band practice happens every Saturday, so I'm typically in Allston with my (literal and metaphorical) baggage with nothing to do after 8:00, and as long as TEX's crash-on-my-couch offer holds, I am free until all hours.
Drana - 5/15/09, 8:28 am
:(
megs - 5/15/09, 8:30 am
I think the only way to feel better about yourself, is to be around people who you think have it worse off than you. I can be that person for you guys, I don't mind.
Drana - 5/15/09, 8:32 am
Well megs, you'll have to fill that roll this week. I can fill that roll next week.
TheLustyGhost - 5/15/09, 8:34 am
Drana - 12:28 pm (98.216.12.128)
:(


I meant, I am free to do this on any Saturday not jsut this one, because I have fuckall else to do right now, except work and look for work and sit in the scenic North Shore wasting my time on the internet.
megs - 5/15/09, 8:34 am
Drana, what's in Providence that is more important than wallowing in your self pitty? I can't think of anything.
TheLustyGhost - 5/15/09, 8:35 am
I wasn't kidding about buying fla-vor-ice.
omar - 5/15/09, 8:35 am
you guys should just all come see the melvins tomorrow, then destroy stuff with me afterwards. wake up sunday morning with ZERO baggage and go see star trek.
patrix - 5/15/09, 8:37 am
me
Drana - 5/15/09, 8:38 am
I want the ice cream truck to come around so I can buy a bomb pop.
megs - 5/15/09, 8:39 am
that's not a bad idea omar
TEX - 5/15/09, 8:52 am
I'm up for small saturday night gatherings of drinking, smoking and record playing at my spacious apartment.

OR I'll go meet you all at a bar ...

Lusty's got dibs on my couch.
megs - 5/15/09, 8:55 am
whatever works for me, I'm easy.
megs - 5/15/09, 8:55 am
easy meaning, easy going. just to clarify.
supriya - 5/15/09, 8:55 am
MELVINS TOMORROW!
omar - 5/15/09, 8:56 am
haha.
TheLustyGhost - 5/15/09, 8:57 am
Surely the Melvins are sold out. I mean, if not, i'd do that minus the Star Trek part.
omar - 5/15/09, 8:57 am
well, i got my tix yesterday.
TheLustyGhost - 5/15/09, 8:59 am
Oh shit.

I verified with Tex that his place is available for a small gathering, so maybe melvins then convene there for pity party and fla-vor-ice?
megs - 5/15/09, 9:01 am
that could work, but I prefer otter pops
TEX - 5/15/09, 9:02 am
Yeah, as long as the entire Paradise doesn't come over, I'm down for an modest after party.
TheLustyGhost - 5/15/09, 9:03 am
Maybe a late night popsicle run would be best, since fla-vor-ice requres advance preparation.

If this were only happening in JP we could hit up MIGUEL FROSTY
Drana - 5/15/09, 9:04 am
Not being able to participate in the initiatory club meeting is just giving me more baggage.
megs - 5/15/09, 9:06 am
Drana, it will just make you a better group leader for the following meeting.
Wes - 5/15/09, 9:06 am
I have tons of baggage and I am recently single.

HER ROYAL HIGHNESS' MATCHED LUGGAGE
TheLustyGhost - 5/15/09, 9:14 am
Band practice usually ends no earlier than 6 and no later than 8, if people PM me their cell numbers I could send out a group text message when TEX and the Mind Yeti contigent are out.
mykecameron - 5/15/09, 9:23 am
ironically the "stuff" i have to pick up from my ex today is a pair of Melvins tickets...hahaha
TheLustyGhost - 5/15/09, 9:25 am
Wow! I'm waiting to see which way the majority in this thred falls before I give the "go" order for Anru to pick up a ticket for me after work.

I'm generally a "small stay-in/go out to a movie or bowling or something party > going out to bars party" person, but a good show is something altogether different.
mykecameron - 5/15/09, 9:26 am
my prediction is that i go to the melvins show and when all is said and done, still don't know who any of you are
TheLustyGhost - 5/15/09, 9:28 am
Possible.

I only know who Tex is.
Drana - 5/15/09, 9:28 am

ironically the "stuff" i have to pick up from my ex today is a pair of Melvins tickets...hahaha


HA!

I had to drop all of my ex's things off at his house the other day. Apparently the only things he had of mine were Tupperware while I had clothes, books, toiletries. I wonder if this says something about our relationship.
mykecameron - 5/15/09, 9:29 am
the only thing my ex has of mine is melvins tickets. however, i will be returning yet another set of found clothes, jewelry, books, dvds, and records. so, yeah, you're not alone on that.

i think what it really says is i have it together enough to not spray my belongings all over the world
AmmoniaBooking - 5/15/09, 9:31 am
Sounds about right.
TheLustyGhost - 5/15/09, 9:31 am
My ex threw out a hat I bought for $120 in California when I was 13, but never wore after I turned 14 and realized it made me look like a tool.
TheLustyGhost - 5/15/09, 9:32 am
It was probably for the best BUT IT STILL HURT MAAAN

BUT HURT MAAAN
TheLustyGhost - 5/15/09, 9:37 am
It's the only time in my life I've been stupid enough to spend more than $30 on an article of clothing other than shoes.
TheLustyGhost - 5/15/09, 9:38 am
Also, it was mroe like $100 plus tax, I think.

Basically a 13 year old moron.
Drana - 5/15/09, 9:48 am
What kind of hat was this?
TheLustyGhost - 5/15/09, 10:23 am
Darkman-looking Stetson fedora because I was a tool.
TheLustyGhost - 5/15/09, 10:24 am
I mean, Darkman is good, owning a fedora not so much. Achewood sums up the fedora better than I could, but I don't have time to dig up the specific strip.
TheLustyGhost - 5/15/09, 10:25 am
Anyhow, I have only recieved one phone number for the post-practice TXT alert system, and it was one I already had. Those telemarketers aren't going to pay me dick for just one number.
megs - 5/15/09, 10:30 am
I so knew it was a fedora
TheLustyGhost - 5/15/09, 10:47 am
Worst idea.

Ironically, she actually wanted me to wear it and I had to try to explain why that wasn't going to happen. I even went so far as to email the relevant Achewood thread.

Anyway, I guess it slipped behind something in the closet and I didn't pack it, so she threw it out. I'd held on to it because I spent so much fucking money on it, I couldn't bring myslef to throw away the damn thing.


One RSVP PM so far.
TEX - 5/15/09, 10:50 am

Alright, two RSVP's now*. Megs will be queen of the sausage party, the way thingsare shaping up so far.

Obviously, anyone can show up, but only those who M me will get a text message when people are actually getting together.
TheLustyGhost - 5/15/09, 11:22 am
Anyone can show up withing the constraints of TEX hosting and reserving the right to kick you out if you pee on his furniture or something unless he's into that in which case I would be willing to give up dibs on sleeping on his sofa.
TheLustyGhost - 5/15/09, 11:23 am
If I'd had the money when I was 12 or 13 I'd have so collected some swords.

I'm glad I dodged that bullet.

mykecameron - 5/15/09, 12:04 pm
i am really liking the idea of 5 - 10 lonely and disgruntled men, and 1 woman, getting together to pool their collective loathing. this sounds like it could turn into a pr0n ready situation

You said that your bathroom walls are blue, too, right? NO REASON

i kind of wish i could do this but unfortunately i have plans after the show...although they do involve hanging out with an ex (but, like, an old one that i am actually friends with now), but she's not single, although I CAN ASSURE YOU she has much baggage.

Well, as I had said, I've contemplated getting that blue toilet water stuff for years, but then when you confirmed you were coming ... well, that sealed the deal.
TheLustyGhost - 5/15/09, 12:14 pm
haha.

If this is actually fun, like I said before, I'm in Boston every saturday and any excuse to hang out instead of going back to the North Shore, sleeping, and then coming straight back to Boston to meet up with AmishUrbain and head to Providence to practice with the OTHER band, is most welcome.

I got that blue water rockin' just for YOU, Lust.

You said that your bathroom walls are blue, too, right? NO REASON

Well, as I had said, I've contemplated getting that blue toilet water stuff for years, but then when you confirmed you were coming ... well, that sealed the deal.


Well as long as the walls are blue, I mean, not that I'd do that, but well, never mind.

BAGGAGE? LET ME BE YOUR BELLHOP.
TheLustyGhost - 5/15/09, 2:55 pm
bellyhop
jonleonard - 5/15/09, 3:00 pm
Google image search for "Bellhop" is not bad at all, but did not yield the results I was hoping for.
TheLustyGhost - 5/15/09, 3:01 pm
Did you accidentally leave safe search on? That's usually the problem.
dan g - 5/15/09, 4:39 pm
That Achewood comic is also amazing because it confirms in the last frame, the raw beauty of scientific value of their friendship.

I think that one, the "6 times" one, and the Todd's Van story arc are still my all time favorites.
whatmakeshim - 5/15/09, 5:06 pm
Dude I might swing by as I'm single, not a ton of baggage but still like some carry on shit, I'll be in the neighborhood, I haven't seen you in a while and I don't think we've ever hung outside of shows! Plus I know Tex IRL and we only hung out outside of work like once about 5 years ago.

can i join this clubhouse? Ive been single like two years
TheLustyGhost - 5/15/09, 5:19 pm
The being single thing really is kind of incidental (and the baggage thing even more so) at this point, although think all parties involved so far qualify on those grounds. But yeah, totally, come by. I'm texting interested parties after band practice tomorrow, so PM me your number and I'll et you know when things are getting underway.

Lopan (I think, he was one of the people who was already planning on hanging out Saturday last I heard)
Megs
whatmakeshim
ma77boch
BeersRocksSound
psychicumbrella (unless you were just talking about being in the "complaining about singleness in this thread" club)

absentee support from Drana, flips

I think that's it?

Confirm/deny and I'll see what I can do about freeze pops for all

PM number to text you at if you ahven't already (mostly all set with that).

I'm off for the night.

Be excellent to each other
and
PARTY ON, DUDES

BeersRocksSound - 5/16/09, 4:19 am
why hello thread
ran into my ex last night. here i was complacently thinking i'd immersed myself in a subculture impenetrable to my former acquaintances. as it stands, that thought must now be amended to read "hitherto unpenetrated by my former girlfriends." for that has evidently changed. that was ultimately an unwelcomed eye-opening experience.
also i drank too much.
bitter_almond - 5/16/09, 4:35 am
LARPing?
BeersRocksSound - 5/16/09, 4:45 am
trying to answer that question seriously resulted in a number of "or don't"s
imagine running into an ex when, under the circumstances, one is supposed to hit her with a foam sword and throw beanbags at her.
now THATs closure.
djd - 5/16/09, 4:54 am

but yeah it's in the works for later this month. and more cash/less hours at my other job means i can hop on an airtran flight more frequently.
somehow i have not been home in 3 months which is the longest i've ever gone outside of boston my entire life. i'm gonna try and return to a schedule of returning once a month or so.

I did have the unpleasant experience about a month ago of being on the train, getting passed by someone without cathcing much more than a brief glimpse of her but having this disproportionately strong "DAAAAMN U FINE" sort of reaction, looking up and realizing it was my ex girlfriend.

That was pretty depressing.

If we wanted to do it all last minute like, something small could probably happen this Saturday. I figured a weekend of rest would keep the whole thing from burning out too fast, since it would be nice to keep these going on and fun for a while. I know I benefit from the distraction, I'm sure I'm not the only one.

15 minutes until the weekend starts, and I'm starting to dread the waste of life that will be my next two days.

Looks like I'll be making the most out of napping otherwise.

TheLustyGhost - 5/29/09, 1:43 pm
The wierd thing for me is that it was so slow in finally coming to the point of breaking up that in some ways I feel like it's been a LONG time, but in other ways it seems really fresh. Definitely confusing.
pplpeeler - 5/29/09, 1:57 pm
agreed.. 6 good months, two break ups in 7th, 1 1/5 months to process, tonight is the "un"emotional meet-up for drinks (apparently, coffee was overrulled).............. is drinking a good idea?
TEX - 5/29/09, 1:59 pm
I've lived with ex's three times in my life.
First time we lived together for two years after we broke up (separate rooms, obviously) I still drop her a line every 6 months or so just to catch up.

Second time, was 6 months until the lease ran out. We actually got along better once the "relationship" was over and we were just roommates, but I've only ever spoken to her once or twice in the last 12 years.

The last break up was about a month until she got all packed and moved out, and it was extremely difficult.
The last one was the "slow break up style" where we talked about breaking up for at least a year before we actually did it.
TheLustyGhost - 5/29/09, 2:01 pm
Yeah, it was probably 10 months of it being clearly inevitable.

mikerophone - 5/29/09, 4:32 pm
I want to be considered "Single with Empty Baggage." Is there room in here for me under those conditions? The reason being is that every "bad ending relationship" I've had to deal with never had the boyfriend-girlfriend tag on it to begin with. In my friends' words, I've had "really awful luck attracting intense friendships that were just like romantic relationships, except without all the good things that an actual romantic relationship would entail."
TheLustyGhost - 5/29/09, 4:56 pm
If I were you I'd give it some time considering recent board drama and it being basically a board-centric thing, but ultimately it's down to the majority vote of people who show up to the next one, with the host having power of veto, as far as I'm concerned.
mikerophone - 5/29/09, 5:02 pm
Wait, is there actually a club that meets or something that goes on about this? I was unaware haha. In that case, I didn't at all intend to ask for an invite to that, but rather just to be considered as a person on here who is "single with empty baggage."
TheLustyGhost - 5/29/09, 5:05 pm
We've had one small test run and one full blown small party. It wasn't planned that way, it just sort of happened.

I worked at In Your Ear for years, where dealing with REAL crazy people including Huck Key(e?)s was part of the daily routine. This stuff is like a lit fart compared to his atomic bomb, so while I hope the best for you, mikerophone, know that I'm not going to be your echo chamber any longer than I choose to be.

In summary
mikerophone - 5/29/09, 7:12 pm
Sorry Lusty, I wasn't necessarily trying to make you my earpiece for any of this at all. As I stated before, I have basically no one to talk to anymore and seeing my words typed in front of me both remedies and aggravates the problem. I'm sure this screams of selfish "first world problem" and of course, I know there are way worse things to be complaining about. But really, is it? It's unfair to say that my life is an easy fix-up when you don't necessarily know who I've known, all my friendship failures, all my heartbreaks and letdowns over the course of several years. All of them seem to happen inexplicably, as well, despite that I'm a pretty loyal friend and good person, but I'm like a lightning rod for attracting the worst or most incompetent people. It's all easier said than done when I hear advice from others, who probably have never been in my unique type of situation. Any person on here who has a single friend or a loved one they can count on each day to hang out already has 100 times more than I am working with right now.

The truth is, I've tried so many things at this point to improve my quality of life, and nothing has worked. I've gone out, I've tried being social, I've extended the invite. It gets tough, however, when you're in your mid-20s and everyone else your age already seems to have settled and gotten comfortable with the people in their social circles or are in these nearly-wed relationships, they aren't really looking to make any new good friends. I am out of options here. It basically scares the shit out of me that I'm heading into the direction where I am going to be so alone someday, because I have no reliable friends, my parents will eventually die and my only sibling lives on the other side of the continent. This is not how my life was supposed to happen and I'd never wish this loneliness and discouragement on anybody. If I'm choosing right now to fill the void in my life with writing this post, then let me do it, because I have nothing else to look to.

Figure out how to be content with your aloneness and it'll be a lot more likely to go away.
mikerophone - 5/29/09, 7:19 pm
I don't even know what deal with it means at this point. Deal with it to me means that I've been dealt a bad hand and that I need to accept it. If accepting this type of boring, dejected lifestyle is what it must amount to, I'd honestly wish God would strike me dead. I won't settle for living like a hermit loser for the rest of my life if I know there's no solution or hope out there. I'm fed up and at my breaking point. I've been patient and already went through my stage of content with this. I just want what every other human has with others that makes them smile. This sucks. Bedtime.
TheLustyGhost - 5/29/09, 7:22 pm
It means don't pity yourself, don't blame outside forces for your situation, just deal with it. Things will change one way or the other. Don't think about it too much. But think about it enough.

That's all I'm saying on the matter.
mikerophone - 5/29/09, 7:30 pm
Yeah, well I fucking hate being pitied, don't want to be anybody's pity case, need to work on differentiating things that occurred in the past away from the present/future, and fill my time with something else that aren't thoughts on this muddle, so I get what you're saying. Thanks for the advice, dude.

RE: Meeting up w/ the ex, a lot depends on what each of you intend on having happen. Be straightforward, or watch out.
It reminds me of the first time I met up with my PREVIOUS ex, we had just had a very very messy breakup, and we met for coffee, innocently enough. Except I could immediately tell she was really high, and when I asked what she was on, she offered me a small pill, which I immediately ate b/c I was uncomfortable and she seemed sedated.
Turns out it was some kind of STRONG-ASS opiate, and yeah, not too long after that we were having crazy post-breakup sex that was fantastic while it lasted, but the next day, right back where you started. Do not pass GO.

I like to think of relationships as "romantic experiments", with the odds statistically stacked against actual, technical 'success'.
(AND the very definition of 'success' being completely fluid in any given set of circumstances.)

I think even romances that don't work are fundamentally beneficial to the individual learning process going forward.

In THIS context, relationships are always character building experiences.

Prior to engaging in divorce, most white people train for it by engaging in a series of long term relationships that end very poorly. At some point, you will likely encounter a white person who is in the middle of a difficult breakup with a boyfriend or girlfriend.

The suffering of heartbreak is universal, but it is important to be aware that white people thrive during these trying times. If you play your cards right, you can parlay these moments into future favors and valuable trust.

The majority of white person art is created after a difficult breakup; films, indie music, and poetry are all kicked into high production during the end of a relationship. This helps train white people to prepare for the pain that is coming.

Once breakup proceedings have been initiated, a white person is immediately thrust into the center of attention in their circle of friends. During this time, they are permitted to talk at great lengths about themselves, listen to The Smiths, and get free dinners from friends who think “they shouldn’t be alone right now.”

It is imperative that you do not attempt to kick them out of their misery by saying things like “get over it,” “there are other people out there,” or “I don’t want to read your poem.” Implying that there things in the world more important to you than their breakup is considered one of the rudest actions possible.

If you are lucky enough to speak a second language, the best thing you can do for a white person in this situation is to give them an expression in that language that relates to breaking up. This will make them feel better since they are comforted by the gesture and happy to be learning a new sentence that they can reuse to with their friends.

This quote from Altered States always spoke immense volumes to me during my last relationship:


Eddie Jessup: Emily's quite content to go on with this life. She insists she's in love with me - whatever that is. What she means is she prefers the senseless pain we inflict on each other to the pain we would otherwise inflict on ourselves. But I'm not afraid of that solitary pain. In fact, if I don't strip myself of all this clatter and clutter and ridiculous ritual, I shall go out of my fucking mind. Does that answer your question, Arthur?
Arthur Rosenberg: What question was that?
Eddie Jessup: You asked me why I was getting divorced.
Arthur Rosenberg: Oh, listen, it's your life. I'm sorry I even asked.

man/woman..not important, just a first for me either way -never been cheated before. i was DRUNK and felt the need to accentuate WOMAN for some reason. WOMAN.
TheLustyGhost - 5/30/09, 4:40 pm
OOOooh, I misunderstood and thought she left you for this person, not that she was cheating on you.

that's totally different, I retract what I said completely.
TheLustyGhost - 5/30/09, 4:41 pm
I mean, the actual sex is incidental to cheating, really. It's the betrayal of trust/failure to maintain an open dialogue that's the problem.

Sorry to hear it.

So is this thread for airing our laundry/baggage? 'Cuz on some level I REALLY want to do that, but on most other levels I do NOT want to do that. I guess I will just say that the person I was involved with recently and am still not over yet came into my work today with her parents and the whole encounter kind of fucked me up for the afternoon.

NO. I met up for "drinks" with my ex last time we got back together and we ended up fucking all night long, which was great, but then we were basically "back together" after that and everything that had changed out one another quickly fell back into the routine. : /

I feel like meeting up for "drinks" is kind of by nature going to be one or both of you meeting up to assess the feasibility of this happening. At least during the first year.


NOT IN MY WORLD

i dont understand how people sleep w/ ex's. never never understand this. once it's over for me my feelings are NIL and gone forever.

doesn't mean i don't get mad about pussies wasting my time by not admitting to themselves they need to leave a relationship and instead sit around and wait for the other person to do it, but hey! you know, at least i did it eventually for him. must be tough to go through life not knowing what you want.

mikerophone - 6/1/09, 10:40 am
Exes should be cut out of your lives altogether, unless they're like, old boyfriends and girlfriends from middle and highschool and the most you did with them was cop a feel, make out at shows and she would wear your sweatshirt. Ulterior motives define exes' intentions in adult relationships.

I've been feeling pretty good about things for the past couple of weeks, but I'm really bored and isolated up here on the North Shore, and am here becasue of the logistics of the breakup, so there is definitely still baggage of a sort.

ah, but after a certain point, when the relationship is long dead and buried, sometimes it's not about feelings - sometimes it's about having a chance to bone someone with whom you know nothing else is going to happen. this is rare but grand when it happens.

yeah,I'm enjoying time alone today. Wednesday through Saturday of last week I was prettymuch not wanting to be out here, but spending all day driving to Rhode Island, practicing, hanging out with the band, and then coming all the way back to Rockport definitely helped me feel less cooped up.

I definitely need to be more aware of the fact that I was practically straightedge for a year down in providence on account of being broke, so now when I go out and smoke weed, I need to pace myself differently or I end up not really in a state to talk to people coherently. Whihc doesn't matter at Mind Yeti practice, but is definitely something to keep in mind if I don't want to end up, say, spending all of Omar's barbecue staring at trees.

Anyway, I'll post something about it early next week, but in the meantime, anyone who's interested in going is still welcome to PM me their phone number so I can text directions when the time comes.

Yeah, but I'm only going to be here for a couple months, so I don't really have much reason to meet people or build up any connection to the place (apart from having grown up here; all of my friends moved away years ago), so I'mm mostly be going in to Boston, anyway. Too cold to swim much in rockport.


That's a terrible attitude! You get to spend the summer out in the seaside sticks. Make the most of it! Sure you don't have to swim, but read by the ocean, listen to the leaves rustle, let things be quiet... SOMETHING. Soon enough you'll be back in The City and won't get those particular pleasures.

Yeah,of course, that's the great thing about being out here. The not-so-great thing is the social isolation, which was going on in Providence, too, and is something I really don't need at this point in my life.

Well, it can work in the short run.

The breakup before this recent one (which was a lot worse in some ways and not nearly as bad in others) I happened to get enough hash around the same time that stayed stoned for like two months, which definitely made me feel better until I ran out of hash, but then I had to get over the breakup.

I had an ex who stopped dying her hair and started eating fish and dressing in tasteful sweaters as soon as we broke up, does that count?

I'm definitely guilty of taking on interests I didn't ahve time to indulge since my most recent breakup, but they aren't NEW interests.

You'd really stick out with someone on the basis of sharing a mutual interest in certain types of music with them? Weird.

I'm pretty passionate in the types of music I listen to, but it ranks pretty low on the things I look for in someone I wanna be kissy face with.

Some friends made a fake account for my roommate with the name "vomitcup" and he ended up having an 18 year old from LA trying to pick him up via it, but he got weirded out by the whole idea of dating someone from the internet even if it WERE logistically possible, and deleted the account in like two weeks. This was a long time ago, though, it's so mainstreamed now I can't really see a reason to assume people lookign for dates online must have something wrong with them. Even 6 or 7 years ago, that was a much more reasonable assumption.

maybe she'll come around and not have any. what im hoping for in my situation, because damn she's got a cute bum.


Who is the babe?

'Cuz skiing is EXTREME. And requires a lot of EXTREME BAGGAGE.

But yeah I am due for a trip to the beach, myself.

BOTH?

My ex and I went as Michael Jackson and Bubbles the Chimp for halloween 5 years ago.

Also, realized today that all the michael jackson records were hers, so all I have is the signed Billie Jean 12".

So I guess it would be appropriate for me, anyway.


I would be down for having another get-together a week from saturday, for sure.

Actually, me and AmishUrbain (absentee member) are probably going hiking in NH thsi saturday. His van can seat 12, if anyone's interested in joining.

I missed this the first time but Farrah Faucet is a top-notch misspelling, and sounds like the singer of a failed San Francisco punk band from 1980.

I made peace with all my baggage, put it in skiff and set it off on fire the foreverafter.

Ok, well, I kept a small messenger bag.

There has got to be a drag performer somewhere named Farrah Faucet.
TheLustyGhost - 6/26/09, 6:22 am
First page of Google results is mostly people on different forums spelling it this way. Might be available.
Dalton - 6/26/09, 6:45 am
I only keep a fanny pack of baggage. It's light, comfortable and makes me look like an awkward tourist wherever I go.
peanut - 6/26/09, 11:53 am
hiking huh
Drana - 6/26/09, 11:55 am
Sigh.
chrisd - 6/26/09, 11:59 am
Baggage every day.
peanut - 6/26/09, 12:04 pm

Drana - 6/26/09, 12:05 pm
Hiding from the world. : /
peanut - 6/26/09, 12:09 pm
boo. i need to come into the city to get some things from xtine's but i don't really want to come in just to get a bag and come home again.
TheLustyGhost - 6/26/09, 12:11 pm
Yesh, hiking. I'm not sure what that entails.

Presumably going up to someplace in NH in his boogie van* and walkign around in the woods.

Frankly, based on how I'm feeling today, I don't really want to do ANYTHING tomorow except maybe wander aroud alone for an hour or two somewhere, but it'd do me good to go out in the woods with people.
TheLustyGhost - 6/26/09, 12:19 pm
Fiesta's still going on tomorrow up here, for that matter.
luba - 6/26/09, 3:44 pm

Don't tip the bellhop, it only encourages them.
TheLustyGhost - 8/18/09, 2:54 pm
It's OK Omar, I almost did this a couple of days ago.

Moving on with my life is going to be a lot easier when I'm living someplace where know people and have things I feel like doing.

Just a few more weeks.
