House Insanity.

So whenever I have a day off I always end up in the house on my own, but since I now have 2 weeks off I've been on my own for 2 days in a row until 6 or so. And I find by about 2 or 3 I start going slightly insane and talking to myself and singing and stuff.

For example yesterday I put on the radio when I was in the shower and Daft Punk came on and I started writing the lyrics to digital love on the steamed up shower door. Er....this is all a bit Charles Manson maybe. Do any of you get this whole solitary madness thing?

Actually if my mum saw "LAST NIGHT I HAD A DREAM ABOUT YOU, IN THIS DREAM IM DANCING RIGHT BESIDE YOU" on the shower door I'd be sent to some sort of home.

Oh come on, YOU ALL DO IT.

i also tend to make faces in mirrors. its all quite childish i suppose. maybe im really attention starved.

― Ronan, Wednesday, 23 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I have lived alone for 14 months now and the lyrics to "One More Time" are smeared in crushed fly pulp all over my living room wall.

(Actually no Ronan they aren't. You are a mentalist.)

I knew once 10 minutes had passed with no response I was kind of left on the island with this one.

I mean IM A MENTALIST, IM COMING TO LONDON, AND I KNOW WHAT YOU ALL LOOK LIKE.

i know what you mean if it helps. this sunday was pissy day, so stayed in, but it was doing my head in and i had to go for a walk IN THE RAIN. now that's MENTALIST

I converse with the tv and radio when home alone. The best people to shout at, I find, are the d list celebrities who inhabit Dictionary Corner on Countdown.

Stephen Fry did dic corn once. take that back

― Alan Trewartha, Wednesday, 23 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Surely shouting at the tv is totally normal and everyone does it? Don't they?

― Emma, Wednesday, 23 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I screamed and howled at the TV last night whilst watching 'Designer Vaginas'. Ew. I am never going to look 'down there' agane.

― Sarah, Wednesday, 23 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It was indeed one of the ickiest things I have seen in a long time. Those women = mentalists.

Also shouted during: Fat Club ('noone likes you COS YOU'RE FAT, fatso) and Footballer's Wives ('ew! That nurse is a pervertalist!').

― Emma, Wednesday, 23 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I shouted lots during the match obviously. "anelka you mule" springs to mind.

― Ronan, Wednesday, 23 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

during Foopballers Wives me and RickyT drank gin and discussed what our "wine names" would be. i am going to be Lambrini.

― katie, Wednesday, 23 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oooh what a good game. I will be Chablis. Or maybe Cristal? Or Moet? Hmmm.....

― Emma, Wednesday, 23 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Not having seen Footballer's Wives until halfway through last night I was mightily confused when the first scene was two wives (?) about to go to the bar. One turned to the other and said "Chardonnay?" so I thought she was going to get her a glass of wine but she ended up with a glass of water!

I've living alone for the first time in two years and I can't sleep solitary at night, Ronan, so yer not entirely cracked. I enjoy the general madness though, as I'm the type to start randomly singing and hopping around to the music anyways ... now, I just don't get stared at by anything but the cat passing outside.

― Dare, Wednesday, 23 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

If I didn't have the tv to yell at, I would go nuts. hehe.

― Hank, Wednesday, 23 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I went through cabin fever the last 6 yrs of being married and literally living in the woods, in a confined area.

― Gale Deslongchamps, Wednesday, 23 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I wish my family would LEAVE THE HOUSE TO ME for a day. I just want to play music without being told to "be quiet we share this house too blah blah blah can't hear ourselves think" well TOO BAD

― Maria, Wednesday, 23 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

actually yes I should stress I do like it also.

― Ronan, Wednesday, 23 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yes, I too have a tendancy to write words in the steaminess of the bathroom doors. I dunno, I talk to myself outloud. Like the other day I was home by myself for more or less the whole waking day, and I started to say outrageous comments outloud, especially to a TV that obviously respond. Or I was rapping with Korean hip hop...awful. Trust me, the way to go is sleep or occupy yourself with some type of activity (painting..cooking...oh hell, I don't know). Yeah...either that or just get out and do something. It's hard not to go mad.

There is a little girl who lives down the road from us who is actually called Chardonnay. I think her mum must've thought it sounds classy, but then we do live on the edge of St Anns, so it probably does.

― Steve.n., Thursday, 24 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yeah, I do that - not the shower writing thing, but the singing & talking to myself. I do it around other folks whilst stressing over stupid computer games or stupid conundrums or anything else stupid. Whatever. I'm no more a certifiable loony than anyone else, and being eccentric is a GOOD thing (usually). Plus I have a wonderful singing voice (sometimes).

There is NOTHING better than having the place to yourself and singing at the top of your lungs. It feels so damn good. I highly recommend it.

― David Raposa, Thursday, 24 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

And air guitar playing too yes?

― Ronan, Thursday, 24 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

redrum redrum

>>>>Or I was rapping with Korean hip hop...awful

It's more awful than you think. Anyhow, occasionally I used to lock myself in a dark room and sing and play air guitar and air piano and air saxaphone and dance to Alec Empire and slam into walls and freestyle over hip hop breaks with shots of alcohol interspersed and so on and so on. I am not bragging I am humiliating myself (it was fun though).

My thread about TV Eye on ILM yesterday was a result of this type of thing.
