I would like all my sad friends to have sweet dreams and good nights. I wish I could send emotional support through the mail.
I got stupid. The money was too good.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Meh. Everything is making me feel sad. I'm under huge self-pressure to complete a half a dozen tasks and be in bed and asleep by 11:00 so I can get up tomorrow for my flight to hell. I mean home.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The concussion headaches make me feel very sad. And they are self-escalating in their effect.

76. I'm not a quirkyalone, but, apparently, I'm a quirkytogether! WEIRD.
My parents are here. I need some alone time. I can't wait to go feed Polgara's and Allyson's cats so I can sit in a room without anyone else.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
I'm sorry to hear about the headaches and brown belt sadness, ita. I hope your health improves at a fast clip.

Do you like walking (alone) at night?
- Yes, I am fascinated by the interactions between strangers that play out before me.
How often do you pursue extracurricular activities outside of work?
- I write, draw, organize, throw pottery, sing, or cycle a few times a week.
- I take classes every so often.
- Not so much these days.
And on reread: "organize"? That's an extracurricular activity, but reading isn't?
What is your chosen family?
- Friends.
- Significant other.
- Pets.
When you go to a bar to meet somebody, whom are you looking for?The people I arranged to meet? I don't go to a bar to meet new people.
Picking the least totally wrong answers, I got 99. The part where they define the quirkyalone as having "an optimistic spirit" makes me think that their quiz needs fine-tuning. Like, something asking how important it is for you to have a tribe to validate your social life.
Meh. I'm gonna start a site called crankyalone.

I left two yummy roasted chicken legs and fresh lemonade for you, Kat.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I found dating Hell on Earth, full of rejection and awkwardness and embarassment, but I am happier in a happy relationship. For me, it was the rough terrain I had to make my way through to get to where I wanted to be. I knew what I wanted--I wanted real love and a wonderful companion--and to get that, I knew I had to go through all the pain and boredom of dating--years and YEARS of pain and boredom.
But I look over at the BF playing his guitar and I know it was all worth it. (Sorry for the schmoop, but I'm a total sap.)

Now tagless for your comfort.
That just makes me sad. I think schizophrenia hits men in their early 20s, unless it was drugs.
I just assumed it was the drugs. They found pot and oxycodone in his posession.
Over 50% of people suffering from schizophrenia also abuse drugs & alcohol to self-medicate. The Jesus complex sounds more mental illness than drug-induced.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Exactly what Cashmere said. Did you know that schizophrenics are usually chain smokers? The nicotine actually helps control their symptoms.
I'm actually showered and I've taken all my vitamins. This doesn't sound like much, but compared to days when it's practically time to leave and I haven't done that much, it's positively rocket science time.
