I had been putting off sitting around doing nothing. Now I have done it. It failed to bring about the sense of achievement I had hoped for.
I am confused.

I have also been putting off ending my horrid excuse for a life. Im not sure that your growth lessons are as generally applicable as they first appear.
I also have not engaged in “self-abuse” for some time now.

Ah, I happen to know paranoiaman that you have engaged in self abuse most recently in the form or adding me as a friend, cant get much worse, there you are problem solved.

Procrastination, does that mean I have to do all the horrible stuff on my desk I’ve been putting off for a few weeks… hard work…

Seriously, I am deciding daily whether I can continue to justify my continued apparance of existence. I talk sh*t because people don’t want to see despair, hopelessness, depression right there in their faces when they ask how you are. They want to hear “fine” and go back to talking about whatever sh*t they watched on TV.
Please do not subject me to a barrage of “your life is worth in excess of $45.99 and you make a valuable contribution to the daily suffering that is human existence” posts. I know what I am. I have decided, every day this far, to continue the struggle we all face. It’ sjust really hard sometimes, y’know.
Im just rambling now. Stay tuned, I’ll say something “weird” and I can be safely slotted back into whichever box you like to keep your mental image of me in.
Forget you ever read this. Or else.

Or else what, if you did not wish for people to hear how you feel then you would have not written such things. Like you say, seems easier to say fine, and everything appear fine to all although everything could not be any further from the truth. Why do you feel like this? Won’t bother with you’re worth more than this speak, as I have said before, you’re rates are extortionate! lol! BUT what I will say is that I am thankful to have bantered with you, you’ve made me smile which is certainly not particularly easy at this present time, and I sure you do many other people on a daily basis. How about we start at the beginning, why do you feel like this, cant really comment further without knowing a bit more. AND, I shall not forget I read this, so what ya gonna do, eat me?

Ah Tinkerbelldreaming, You have done me no wrong and I have had the misfortune in life to suffer “friends” who were nothing of the sort.
Don’t get all big headed or nuthin. I’m not saying that you give me a reason to get up in the morning, or put those pills back in the drawer, but y’know. I kinda like you.

I have almost destroyed the very things I love most; my family and so far, totally failed to take steps to stamp out the very thing which is the object of my loathing ; myself.
I am liar, a no good dogboy, a failure on so many levels. I am disconnected from the world and those I love in it.
And most definately Karate.
Marry me. The children would be hideous, though. Unless they took after their mother. This was the case previously, thank Grud.

Yeah you lucked out there! lol.

But they would have the greatest magical powers, scary hairy with a twist of tinkerbell dust.

Anywho, we’ve all screwed up, and led ourselves and those we love the most down the path of destruction. What are you doing about things now, past is past, you obviously do not feel very good about yourself at the moment, but like I say past is past, you are master of your own destiny, and you dont like the paths you’ve bin on, so change them? Do not loathe yourself, Its not productive! I am one person on the planet that does not, and like I said before, there will be many others.

Jedi Mind tricks don’t exist in my world, sorry, although I am normally very forgetful without the need for any mind tricks so you never know, I might forget. Keep them hairy fingers crossed

No threat intended. Just another fine exapmle of my innate ability to communicate very, very badly and sow seeds of misunderstanding and conflict in my wake. The anti-midas touch. Everything turns to sh*t.
I have no Mastery. of head or otherwise. Hopefully, any aforementioned lady respondents will be very skilled in that department.
Oh dear. I think I will have to take a cold shower and have a nice lie down. Whilst trying not to think of cat suits. Or boots. Or Ladies. Or fairies.
Play nice, in my absence.

Stop it Fairy! Please. Bad things happen to people I like. And you are right about star wars. Now the army of Lucasites will come for us both. Or are you really me, too. Am I typing conversations to myself? That would explain a lot. Except I wouldn’t like you if you were me. Why can’t life be like telly? With less sport. And more Hot Karate female detectives.

And you really do lie paranoiaman, you were giving empty threats, you do not make my detective work very difficult, I like it. Less aggression required. If you are indeed talking to yourself and vice versa, does that mean next time I look in the mirror I will be hairy? I most certainly wouldnt be getting anywhere near the level of intelectual conversation if I were having a conversation with myself, which I do most frequently I must add… yep, way past the first sign…
