The Follow-Up

Posted 02-18-2012 at 11:58 PM by STM
Well, this is sort of an interesting addition to my New Year bonanza if anyone remembers that. I just got back from the first party I've been to since 1st January. And I was rather miffed actually at how dull it suddenly all became to me. I only drank one Strongbow, expecting it to ease me up a bit without getting drunk, and that succeeded for a good ten or fifteen minutes before I sort of crashed a bit.

After an hour I was feeling really bored so I decided to break my smoking ban and try a little weed to cheer myself up. My mate passed his doobie to me and I took maybe five tokes before passing it on. It had no effect on me whatsoever beyond providing me with a sore throat. Apparently it was crap weed too.

After retreating back into the house I spent maybe an hour or so dancing. At some point in this time period one of my mates impaled my foot with her heel while I was dancing with her, and perhaps again later on when she fumbling around and I was trying to keep her standing up.

Beyond that I spent most of the night wondering why I wasn't talking to anyone much and how long it was till the music would quiet down a bit. So I suppose this means I do need more drinks than just one to have a good time at a party...I dunno.

On the plus side, I accidentally took a wrong turn on the way home and got rather lost, and even though it was biting cold it was a fantastically beautiful morning (I left at 7 AM) and I covered some ground across some fantastic farmland before doubling back to drudge through my proper course which took me through a narrow, shit smelling alley way.

All in all, it was a sort of average night, marginally better than sitting at home at points. But I didn't get drunk, which I guess is a pro.

Oh hey, and I got a few good comments on my clothes at the start of the night, at first it was a few girls basically saying 'wow' but that degenerated to 'you look like the straight one off JLS by midnight.' Heh.

everyone has shit days. there's been a few times when i've gone down the pub hoping to cheer myself up and ended up either going home early feeling like shit or taking it out on someone. you should make yourself a rule: if you feel bad or depressed, don't go out and get pissed. it never helps, not for me anyway. it's hard to stick to it, but i'd rather stay in than go out and do something i regret that makes me feel worse in the long run.

when i feel bad, i usually visit family that live nearby like my uncle or grandparents instead of getting pissed, or just chill out with some music, watch a film, play a game, whatever. just keep yourself occupied, it sometimes helps. might be worth a try.

I think that MA's right, keeping yourself occupied helps when you're feeling fed up. Video games or puzzles seem to work best (at least for me), because it requires you to actively engage in something. Going or staying out just seems to exacerbate the situation in my case.

But to be honest, some of the feelings you describe here reflect how I've felt about large social gatherings (my definition of large would be exceeding six or seven people) for most of my life, because they always felt impersonal. But then I'm a cantankerous bitter little bastard, so it's no surprise.

I have a huge blister on my ankle. Tuesday morning I woke up with a angry red patch that looked and felt like a burn, with a white, seemingly unharmed patch inside it. By morning's end this white patch had ballooned into an enormous blister. Felt and looked like a burn.

I have no idea what caused it. I recall no burning. I would remember something like that, I'm sure. Nothing but socks touch my ankles, and none of my socks are made of fire.

Whatever the cause, it seems that, someway, somehow, I was burned on Valentine's Day.

Nah that stuff makes sense, I used to love parties but I think that was more because I liked being included than anything else, and I used to really enjoy getting drunk, which is stupid. But I don't know if I'll bother going to parties any more, why go to a party if you're not going to enjoy the whole night? To be honest I wasn't looking forward to going any way, I was just sort of apathetic.

Ugh, I feel ill now as well, I'm wondering if I've caught something from passing that fucking spliff. ¬_¬

E: Maybe you should get that seen to BM?

Doctors are baffled. But they didn't think much of my theory of temporally displaced injuries.

Don't ingest drugs and then complain about the effects to me. You can only do that if I've made you take the drugs.

Well it's not so much the drug as it is me getting someone's germs. But the it might not have been passing the doobie that got me the disease...

I was looking for a synonym for germs and didn't want to recycle illness.

You should have used a colloquialism like yucks.

Yucks is endearing. That dang doobie giving you them yucks!

I only find Yuk endearing as part of a cartoon bandit's laugh.

"We've got that there gold, boys! Yukyukyuk."

Feeling better now really, hopefully I'll be back in Sixth Form tomorrow, I spent all day, literally all day installing StarCraft II demo...ffs I'm getting a new laptop next month. I should have waited. 10 AM started download, 3 PM laptop died, had to restart from within 500kb the first time. 9.50 PM, install completes, 2nd install begins, 10 PM, 2nd install completes, begin installation of 22 patchs, 22:10, patches installed, 22:19 4/11 more patches installed.

Estimated time before completion: 3 hours.

Angry face = true.
