    Seeing the doc tomorrow

    AA is the only way
    You must repent first
    Assume personal and complete responsibility for all the suffering that you have come into contact with
    Finally you must carry this stigma with you to the grave and don't let anyone forget it

      Hee hee, welcome to the dark side. I had huge cravings yesterday afternoon so I had a beer. Actually I had half a beer, the first half was deeply unpleasant and did not help. Then I realised I actually craved a bucket of chocolate ice cream but I settled on a Snickers. Oh the shame! The Snickers not the beer.

            Haha Loop I think the worst part is I don't have to do the 9th step! Damn and I was looking forward to apoligizing to every asshole I've ever slightly wronged.

            Rudy good to hear you're (sorta) back. I haven't been able to figure out much of what I DO like, although I have found that most things and people bore me (besides athletics). I think that's progress, although now I just gotta work in the opposite direction.

              pete! i am really back. i have a new laptop that works just fine. as for your not liking people but loving athletics, you oughtta try stuff that involves both. then you'll be with people at their happiest but you won't have to talk much or notice their boringness. you can guess i'll suggest rowing... and i think you already have soccer, right? people can be cool.

              you're cool, and you needn't fill your heart with heavy remorse or apologies. but that you already know. give thanks!

                Ahhhh, but do people really bore you or is that an excuse your socially introverted part is making? i.e. you find it difficult to interact with people because of social anxiety but rather than admit that is the case you find a reason more acceptable to your ego.

                You didn't find people boring when you hit that philanthrope phase when you were titrating up, did you?

                  SInce I've stopped, or at least lessened my drinking, soccer has become more fun than ever, and I feel I'm infinitely better at it

                  I'm sure you're right, just not to what extent. People that I've always liked are more fun to talk to, however I've found I have less patience to deal with other people that I would have put up with more, if that makes any sense. I guess I mainly had my roomie in mind when I said that. Self-absorbed people bore the crap outta me. I just need to figure out a way to make conversations with them more entertaining for the both of us. Actually, I need to figure out how to do that with EVERYONE I talk to!

                    Hmmm. I've actually found that a lot of people ARE boring to talk to. It might very well be me, but whatever the case is, I try to end the conversation these days, rather than looking for a small ray of sunshine in someone's chatter. It's easier, and saves us both a bit of time.

                    I'm not talking about those nearest and dearest obviously. Luckily having a close connection to people tends to automatically render them interesting.

                      I find most people boring, because they ARE and most people are dim and uninteresting. I dislike smalltalk and just can't be bothered to chat, unless it's with someone I'd secretly like to have sex with, then I'm all ears....and knob.:H

                      Is the roomie shaggable, Pete? Worth chatting her up, listening to her self-absorbed drivel with a view to a bunk-up? Just an idea. Otherwise just tell her to shut up and stop boring you.

                      Have you sleep-walked starkers in front of her yet?

                        Oh yes I almost forgot: soccer, or girly kick-ball as I know it, is the gayest of gay sports. Just so's ya know.

                          Yeah. I am sure I am boring. I talk about networks, servers, memory and speed.

                          Geez. I am a boring chick.

                          No. I will not go to bed with you guys. :H

                          I will, however, make your pcs/laptops go faster.

                          You could hook up faster with the girls.

                          Big smile.

                            Careful Cindi. If you throw some video game knowledge in there you might just find yourself with groupies.

                            Or is it still Dungeons and Dragons that all you fellas that are bored with chitchat hide away playing with all the other boys?
                            Soccer is a lot sexier than rugby. Men don't end up with a foot in their face and another man's face in their crotch. Plus they've got stamina. just sayin
                            Definitely better than polo. Jodhpurs are stupid.

                              Murphy, no not enough to put up with the bitchiness. But enough to keep getting her to cook for me.

                              And Cindi, my comp is on the outs for real. Maybe you could come over and fix it?
