The sunny side of life gives me sunburn!

SamIam · 09-13-2011, 10:11 AM

It seems that lately people keep telling me I should be grateful for what I do have. Unfortunately, Pollyanna I'm not. Deep in my brain I KNOW that the glass is not only half empty, its probably completely empty. I don't believe there's a reason for everything and things always turn out for the best. I think evil aliens are messing with our lives just for kicks and the only reason they do it is because it amuses them.

And I am a material girl at heart. I want a warm winter coat, a laptop with all the latest bells and whistles, cable TV with Showtime, on demand movies, HBO, and Animal Planet. I also want a Jaguar. Car that is.

There are days when I work on cultivating a good attitude, but I have a deep mental twist that demands that now and then I just let the old bad ass-I deserve more-and I'm right-and you're stupid attitude take over. I try to stay away from innocent people when I'm having one of those days.

Does anyone else have difficulty always being chirpy or am I even wierder than I thought?

Sam - I'm having a few of those days lately myself.

It helps if I remember that I'm not a beggar in Calcutta, but just (helps, I mean)

Yeah, Bill's my buddy. Did you know he experimented with LSD and was often unfaithful to Lois? Lois returned the favor by having an affair with one of Bill's sponsees.

True!

But I'm going to chair a meeting at noon anyway. I don't think the topic is going to be gratitude, either.

i.m., good luck in your new career as alien house pet. Just make sure you don't fall down any black holes!

my father hates me. he always has - from the moment of my birth I have intruded upon his happiness and personal fortune. He reminds me of this daily but I let him do it. With every breath I take, I recall how much he hates my very essence.

I've been trying to overcome the furnace of his loathing for years and years and I am losing the fight right now.

how's that for self pity?

infinite monkey · 09-13-2011, 10:40 AM

I think it's normal to feel that way, occasionally. Except for the Jaguar. That's just weird. Any self-respecting dreamer would want a Lamborghini.

As to the evil aliens I firmly believe they are coming back (all you Mayan followers are WRONG) Dec 24 of this year, and I believe that I am a specimen they will want to take back for further research. Frankly, I cannot WAIT! I will be the best alien house pet EVER.

p.s. Sorry to post over you, Bri.

now. I don't want to take away from Sammy here. Go for it, kiddo!

infinite monkey · 09-13-2011, 10:47 AM

THAT'S a whine-fest? Girl, you don't know from whine-fest.

An always chirpy person is weird...

Brianna: I'm sorry to hear how your father feels about you. Is there a way you can stay away from him? I hope you'll feel better soon. It sucks how someone's feelings affect ours.

Trilby · 09-13-2011, 03:20 PM

thanks, Lola Bunny.

I really can't stay away for too long as he's 82 and needs my help sometimes (although he would say I need HIS help!) I just have to learn to have dinosaur skin around him. he's a toxic person.

I guess we differ here. I think you can choose not to associate with toxic people - even relatives. I'd either let him get by on his own - or if you really can't go that route, tell him to stfu when he gets toxic.

Please to explain how any of those things will make you happy.

Well, most of that stuff might make me happy for a day or two, but the warm winter coat would make me happy until at least March or April.

I didn't think warm winter coat fit on that list, unless you already have a warm winter coat.

Maybe I should send you mine? Except you'd have to like pink and the postage would be ruinous.

I bought it to shut Mum up. She was distressed that I did not have a winter coat. For 360 days of the year I do not need one, and layering is sufficient for the rest. In fact I bought a range of coats/ jackets at her instigation.

She moaned this summer that she had too many of my coats in her wardrobe (the HUGE pink one, my Captain Jack 3/4 length and my lightweight white jacket). I suggested I gave them all to the charity shop and just got by with my wool cape. She wouldn't hear of it.

My white jacket is now at school. I don't expect to wear it for at least two months, and that will only be because I am standing still as a playtime supervisor. And my boobies are too big for my military coat

Damn I need to lose weight.
