I'm fairly sure I'm not Australian.

I'm gonna watch BSG now, and wonder.

Probably back later.

We have a new thread for it, but I'm thinking not yet.

Didn't Number Six do Canada's Next Top Model, and from what I saw, display less performing ability there than as the sexy robot lady?

Ah, the pioneer of P-ology! Howya.

03:37 / 30.09.07
Oh, I forgot about P-ology. That was just a Phase.

03:38 / 30.09.07
I’m feeling kind of numb and empty and indifferent to pretty much everything and everyone. Ah, shite. I think I actually preferred the unrequited love thing.
 
 
imaginary mice
03:42 / 30.09.07
I think Stoatie’s on the right track. I shall spend tomorrow with my cats. And see horsey.

Did I miss something? IM, what brought this about?

Cats rule. I miss having a cat.

My sister just acquired a kitten, but as they're over 150 miles away therapeutic petting is going to be a stretch.

i will admit that some cats do indeed rule. Some are just elitist a**holes!!

Um. It's kind of been going for a while. There's a song about it. And a couple of blogs.

Found it!

04:13 / 30.09.07
The ongoing saga...

But nevermind. I'm going to bed.

So, I no go out tonight. At all.

Except I did go out and then got a call to, um, go back in. I need to know people who sleep with better, less possessive and jealous people. Because the reality is messing up my having fun. And it's all about me, of course.

cant you take your person with you?
 
 
imaginary mice
04:28 / 30.09.07
That doesn't sound good.

I wish I could give you some advice but I'm not much of an expert when it comes to relationships.
 
 
Stoatie. Stoatie? STOATIE.
04:30 / 30.09.07
See, I spend so much time being pissed off about being single that I rarely stop to think about how that's a lot better in many ways...
 
 
imaginary mice
04:34 / 30.09.07
I think I would struggle in a relationship. I’m far too used to not having to make compromises.
 
 
Deculture Aquatripper

04:41 / 30.09.07
I could take them all with me, arguably, but it'd begin to look like a harem.

Two different options of something to do and both thwarted by jealous boyfriends, and both the man and woman I would've been seeing wish to preserve the peace of their situations, which means placating the bfs who like me apparently as much as I like them.

If I were better at that whole thing, I might advise them, but as I'm not... I'll just sit here with a whisky and coffee and be grateful I'm not in their shoes.

Sometimes, whiskey and coffee is just enough to make things bearable.

Right now Im sticking with plonk(crap wine) and thoughts of better times.

A friend pointed out recently that I start to sound like a bad translation of Wuthering Heights when I get onto relationships and entanglements. She may've been frighteningly right, but really, one ought to be able and willing to tolerate a lot of things (and people) for the sake of their SOs pleasure, barring any real intrusions or violations of interpersonal-contract. Or, y'know, demonstrate a small bit of - even faked for politeness - faith in their SO.

Indignant. Yes.

But, really. I can tolerate, I can keep my mouth shut and let things ride, but I don't think I'm very good at being placatory at all. Even when sex is involved. (And I wonder why I'm single.)

so..anything Good happening in my fellow shifters lives?
 
 
Stoatie. Stoatie? STOATIE.
05:16 / 30.09.07
Erm... I went to a friend's birthday and am now very drunk and have a pizza about to come out of the oven and will sleep soon?

...those are all good, right?

05:18 / 30.09.07
Ah, I'm a moody bastard. But I just got a callback re: tonight's exciting adventure, and we're on for tomorrow, instead. So it's all good. For me, anyway.

That is a triumvirate of good, Stoatie! Party: drunk: pizza: tripartite triumph, with sleep as it's topper.

05:20 / 30.09.07
Just goes to prove: wait long enough and good things will abound.

Except for me.
(exception to prove the rule and all that crap)

hehehe
 
 
Stoatie. Stoatie? STOATIE.
05:29 / 30.09.07
Ah, tomorrow, when I realise once more that I'm a lonely alcoholic, will no doubt suck. But sleep is gonna be ACE, and I've just necked a couple of Nurofen so I at least won't wake up in pain. I'll be thirsty, but my head shouldn't be hurting.


And all else aside, I have STUPID AMOUNTS OF OPERA to look forward to. Rheingold Tuesday, Walkure Thursday, Siegfried Sunday and Gotterdammerung the following Tuesday. I reckon that in twelve days time I'll be all Wagnered out, but it should be cool getting there.

You too, eh?

we should start a cobination AA/singles group.

I am going to a single's dance tomorrow night with a gf for fun. Currently, I couldn't give a rat's patootie whether or not I actually "met" someone. Not sure why she is going, but I am more interested in observing. It's more of a study in human behaviour.

Yeah. That's it.
 
 
Stoatie. Stoatie? STOATIE.
05:43 / 30.09.07

FUCK YEAH!!!

Anyway, I'm off to bed- it's quarter to five in the morning, and while I don't actually have anything planned for tomorrow, it'd be a shame to miss it entirely!

G'night, and I promise I'll be less grumpy next time I hit the late shift!



(edited to add this bit- Hi, MO... sorry, I'm about to sleep and I now feel awfully rude. But have a good Shift anyway!)
 
 
Papess
05:49 / 30.09.07
Stoats, good night sweetie. Maybe I lull you to sleep with my ...GGGGHHHH!

Sadly, I too am going to sleepland

g'night all.

Still going. Someone called to complain about their SO, so I feel mildly validated in ways I'll feel guilty about when less inebriated. Otherwise, the Dodgers are doing so-so, and all that's left to me is the shift.

I think i am getting drunk and eating wasabi nuts again. i really, reeeeally shouldn't. What the hell...I am single!
