yeah im prob not doing anything. tired of my friends, the few i have, or at least am still in contact with, am feeling self piteous cos i miss my ex, and cant be bothered (except i can, just am crap at arranging nights out and dont feel like it) so think i will be staying in. its crap but im trying to enjoy it, but doing that makes me feel a bit crap, like im accepting my lot, not trying to change anything and im being a tad sad. anyway, end of rant, this is silly isnt it.

How about phoning someone you haven't seen in ages and making plans to meet up? It's gotta be better than wallowing at home in misery.

There is nothing sad about being in on a Saturday night. Would it be less sad to be hanging around with people you clearly don't want to be hanging around with? I have lots of pleasant Saturday nights in with a bath, a book, a game, a film, a long and leisurely meal. Why feel crap about not doing anything exciting? Lots of other people aren't either.

RUBBISH!

― dog latin (dog latin), Saturday, 16 July 2005 11:55 (twenty years ago)

Well that's what I tell myself, anyway.

Not going out is for lightweights! I go out drinking in the pubs every night, and I stick to Stella, none of your namby pamby Fosters malarkey. If they're selling Spesh in bottles, then I'll get that. Fuck staying in!

― dog latin (dog latin), Saturday, 16 July 2005 11:56 (twenty years ago)

Ah, sorry, that was Bizarro Dog Latin talking. I'm just pent up cos I'm at work on a beautiful Saturday afternoon.

― dog latin (dog latin), Saturday, 16 July 2005 11:57 (twenty years ago)

Ahh, I'm always indoors on Saturday night. Doesn't help that I don't even have enough money right now to ride the city bus (and it's only 50 cents!)

As a parent, I get to spend most Saturday nights in. Get out while you still can! SAVE YOURSELF!!!

Seriously though, I went through a strange detached bout of depression after moving to my new house because I stopped doing things in the evenings. Prior to that, I'd been used to going out or going to a friend's house at least every other day. It was only until I realised that it was okay to leave the house and do stuff, even on week nights, that the depression lifted.

― dog latin (dog latin), Saturday, 16 July 2005 12:33 (twenty years ago)

I'm setting myself up for this. I've had two triple ryes and another one is going in. I'm excited that I may say things I'll regret tonight.

― Bryan (Bryan), Saturday, 16 July 2005 20:57 (twenty years ago)

yeah stuck in tonight, talking to girlfriend on msn, who is sadly no longer living here : (

feeling kind of sick today too with 2 days of work ahead of me so it's doubly crap. on the plus side soon sleep will come.

― Ronan (Ronan), Saturday, 16 July 2005 21:03 (twenty years ago)

big week ahead. need to save energy + money.

I forgot that this was even a Saturday. I've been working a Tuesday through Saturday schedule, ostensibly so I can go out on Sunday nights and recuperate on Monday--except I haven't been getting out every Sunday night.

― RS LaRue (RSLaRue), Saturday, 16 July 2005 21:21 (twenty years ago)

okay, well i went out in the end with a friend and 3 friends of theirs. reeally glad i went out, as ive been going a bit mad in my own head lately, really thinking about stuff too much and letting it get to me in a bad, insular way. feel much better about going out. i needed that.

― boredgirlie, Saturday, 16 July 2005 21:42 (twenty years ago)

Great. So you made us feel bad about our having to stay in, and then you got to go out. Cheers.

( :p )

― Scream! Scrovula, Scream! (noodle vague), Saturday, 16 July 2005 21:57 (twenty years ago)

hey, it was nothing of a sort! im back now, if that makes you feel any better!

― boredgirlie, Saturday, 16 July 2005 22:11 (twenty years ago)

I went out last night so I'm happy to be staying in this night, actually. It's nice to have quiet time.

― Orbit (Orbit), Sunday, 17 July 2005 00:59 (twenty years ago)

v. long past 24 hours (lots o' winin' and dancin' last night and an unexpected trip out to coney island today for sirenfest) so i'm just having a quiet night in eating cookies, watching showgirls, and posting to ILX.

― joseph (joseph), Sunday, 17 July 2005 02:46 (twenty years ago)

Listening to Hole's Celebrity Skin, God I love this album

― Orbit (Orbit), Sunday, 17 July 2005 03:28 (twenty years ago)

I stopped drinking a few hours ago and watched Rounders instead. I just took 150 mg of diphenhydramine hcl and now I get to lay here and wonder if my friends went out without me, probably because I'm an embarrassment, while I drift off into 10 hours of dreamless sleep. I sure know how to live.

― Bryan (Bryan), Sunday, 17 July 2005 03:45 (twenty years ago)

i am eating dinner and watching baseball tonight and writing my column for tuesday's paper

― t0dd swiss (immobilisme), Sunday, 17 July 2005 04:05 (twenty years ago)

Bryan sometimes you worry me. You do know you look absolutely adorable in that photo with the giant spoon, don't you? I still chuckle thinking of that photo. I'm sure you don't embarrass anyone.

― Orbit (Orbit), Sunday, 17 July 2005 04:12 (twenty years ago)

Neither my girlfriend or I left the house today. We made waffles, read for hours, took a nap, ate leftover fried chicken, read some more, made baked mac & cheese, and watched Shaun of the Dead. It was awesome.

― Jordan (Jordan), Sunday, 17 July 2005 04:19 (twenty years ago)

I sat around in my jammies and stripey sox all day! I got drunk! I subsequently couldnt very well handle the oncall jobs I had to do in the evening because I was drunk, whoops! I got stressed and cranky at the client sending us a support email - in arabic! WTF! I then rather rudely told another client I wouldnt help "fix" his slow link because it isnt my fault our sales guys are twats and have way oversubscribed our service, so now it is running like shit! I then got even more stressed and started ranting and crying at my mate Dom who came over to help me cope with shitty on-callness! Then he went home and I burst into tears and totally lost it and had some cammomile tea and went to bed and woke up with a headache. The End.

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 17 July 2005 04:25 (twenty years ago)

Wow--what time is it there, Trayce?

― Orbit (Orbit), Sunday, 17 July 2005 04:32 (twenty years ago)

im in tonight!! WOO!! i accidentally got drunk at like 5:30pm which pretty much ruined my whole night

― Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Sunday, 17 July 2005 04:37 (twenty years ago)

I stayed in all day 'cos I just worked 12 days in a row, and so I've been reading and napping and a few other things, and I think I'm going to smoke up in a few minutes and watch a movie which I'm sure will scare the pants off me.

― luna (luna.c), Sunday, 17 July 2005 04:41 (twenty years ago)

I did that last night! have fun, luna!

― Orbit (Orbit), Sunday, 17 July 2005 04:46 (twenty years ago)

Orbit - oh that was all last night :) Its now sunday afternoon and I'm in bed resting and feeling like I really went off the rails this week and need to rein in my stress levels and stuff MAJORLY after that outburst. Also, quit my job possibly. Heh :/

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 17 July 2005 04:46 (twenty years ago)

I'm having a vodka tonic and about to watch an obscure cop show from years ago on DVD and I've been writing and drawing and surfing the net.

Can't call that nothing!

― Austin Still (Austin, Still), Sunday, 17 July 2005 04:57 (twenty years ago)

OH No Tracye, did you quit? I hope not!

― Orbit (Orbit), Sunday, 17 July 2005 05:00 (twenty years ago)

Oh no no, I mean I should quit =) I applied for, and signed acceptance on, a 9-5 5 days a week "customer support rep" role. I'm now a rotating shift, on call once a month (ie being woken up or kept up til 4am) "network engineer" with no choice. Grr.

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 17 July 2005 05:33 (twenty years ago)

This is clearly me, tonight. Waking up at 4pm from partying too much Friday night has destroyed my whole equilibrium.

― richardk (Richard K), Sunday, 17 July 2005 05:40 (twenty years ago)

That is to say, staying in and watching before sunrise alone isn't such a bad thing...

― richardk (Richard K), Sunday, 17 July 2005 05:41 (twenty years ago)

saturday night's alright for ~~fighting~~ ordering pizza alone and posting to ilx.

― richardk (Richard K), Sunday, 17 July 2005 05:47 (twenty years ago)

Hey boredgirlie, I was only playing upthread :)

I watched Far From Heaven, it was worth being in for.

― Scream! Scrovula, Scream! (noodle vague), Sunday, 17 July 2005 09:15 (twenty years ago)

far from heaven is absolutely brilliant. julian moore (i think thats her) is excellent.

im bored again today. in my house. with my parents (yes i live at home). being in on a sat night is better if youve got a partner (bf/gf/husband/wife/enunch/dog) etc. i think im just lonely these days and getting a little paranoid about it. glad i went out though. could go out again today, but i have stuff i need to do!

― boredgirlie, Sunday, 17 July 2005 09:31 (twenty years ago)

My problem is I'm perfectly happy to be on my own, and like being with people on my own terms, and my pebbly self-containment doesn't always sit well with ree-sponsibility.

― Scream! Scrovula, Scream! (noodle vague), Sunday, 17 July 2005 09:36 (twenty years ago)

im perfectly happy to be on my own too but i just dont like it alllllll the time. i think im developing a self consciousness about being on my own though, i used to be a lot more comfortable with it then i am now. going out yesterday reminded me that my social self confidence has been a *little* down for a while, im not sure how to get it back. god im turning ILX into my own self help session.

nothing wrong with being self contained i think, as long as it doesnt blend too easily with self absorption too much! i have one friend whos so self absorbed i dont think he even realises when other people suffer from the same affliction

― boredgirlie, Sunday, 17 July 2005 09:47 (twenty years ago)

god im turning ILX into my own self help session.

This is not uncommon, don't feel bad about it.

But anyway: I was in bed and asleep before 10! PM! On a Saturday! WTF!? In fairness, it was because of lack of sleep at all Friday->Saturday but it still took a lot of effort for me to be honest with myself and go to bed. Shame cos the Royal Tennenbaums was on the TV.

― tissp! (the impossible shortest specia), Sunday, 17 July 2005 14:13 (twenty years ago)

the mean reds blow

― it's a cold and it's a broken, Sunday, 17 July 2005 18:29 (twenty years ago)

I went to bed as soon as The Royal Tenenbaums had finished, myself.

Staying in on Sunday night isn't quite so bad, is it?

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Sunday, 17 July 2005 18:30 (twenty years ago)

no, it def isnt. its nice actually, assumed what everyone does.

― boredgirlie, Sunday, 17 July 2005 18:35 (twenty years ago)

I don't have any problem with staying in on a Sunday. Day of rest and all that.

― tissp! (the impossible shortest specia), Sunday, 17 July 2005 18:36 (twenty years ago)

Sunday *used* to be one of my regular going-out nights, because there was a good pub quiz on.

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Sunday, 17 July 2005 18:37 (twenty years ago)

mmm pub quiz.
sundays always depressed me
and now that my work week starts on sunday, even BETTER!
grrrrr
i'm bored. help

― dahlin (dahlin), Sunday, 17 July 2005 18:38 (twenty years ago)

I hate sundays, they're too boring for no real reason. They feel to much like... er... sundays.

― tissp! (the impossible shortest specia), Sunday, 17 July 2005 18:41 (twenty years ago)

You do realise that it's now LAW that Last Of The Summer Wine has to be on TV at least once on a Sunday afternoon or evening UNTIL THE END OF ETERNITY

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Sunday, 17 July 2005 18:48 (twenty years ago)

dreadful. truly dreadful

― dahlin (dahlin), Sunday, 17 July 2005 18:49 (twenty years ago)

FUCK A LAST OF THE SUMMER WINE

I think that is the root of why I hate Sundays so.
