What's upsetting you today?

[orthodoc]

Absolutely sickening. The Islamist version of Fahrenheit 451.

They were slowly digitizing that collection. We've all been stolen from.

[Chocolatl]

Aww, man. That ain't right.

Me personally, I cannot think how anyone would find the ghoul -look attractive. I know my niece does not do that stuff it really radically changes your appearance and that has not happened with her and she has had the same job for years, they drug test. I don't get her attraction to someone who looks like an extra from a Hollywood zombie movie!! Even if he claims he is off the drugs, he looks like an addict.

Well...I think it's the brokenness that attracts. And the unpredictability and danger.

I notice there's a film just coming out now that does for the zombie what Twiglet did for wampyres: Warm Bodies.

It's a romantic comedy, so not quite the same as Twiglet, I think it's taking the Michael out of that whole genre a little. But...he's a very pretty ghoul nonetheless.

Re: lost books

Very upsetting. The selfishness of those who do that is staggering. They steal not just from the world but from the future too. Fucks. Utter fucks. Them and all their ilk throughout history.

Honestly Dani I would rather do the girl

Just about everything worrying at me since I got home.
Mum back in Ignore mode, though I'm not really sure why, but as she's shouting at Dad it's probably something he did, not me. I've been blamelessly working after school, going to an Occucational Health meeting and to counselling.

A loan I thought I could make a few deferrels on is due in full on Thursday instead. Taken out when I was confident of my monthly income. Having been signed off work for nearly a month in Dec/ Jan I have no idea what I will be paid. Hairy times.

Been really snacky tonight (possibly in consequence?) which makes me feel fat even though over the course of the week I'm sure it's negligible. And it's all been healthy anyway. Just guilt-attack I think.

And not much more really, just general grumps added to having horrible dreams all this week - mostly about money, alcohol and family issues - no idea where they come from?! From my Mum telling me my Dad is not my natural father to my sister reporting me to the Police about backstreet abortions and defecating in the alley behind her house.

I feel as if I am missing some layers of skin this week.
All out of control. Even though I have been much further and much deeper before and barely cared.

[Trilby]

casual friend of mine killed herself over the weekend leaving four young children (she was 37) and a friend of Bill W's.

I'm very sad over this. Every time I go to a meeting I hear stories like this. Depresses the hell out of me. Just lost two to pancreatic cancer not too long ago and they'd been sober for years and years.

[Nirvana]

this thread and 3 more inches of rain is depressing the crap out of me...

I think it's a good sign. Your brain is resetting what it means to be uncertain and/or out of control. I believe nightmares are a process of our subconscious working things out, rather than sinking farther into them. That's what I tell myself when I have them, anyway.


Tril, I'm so sorry about your friend. I hope those kids do okay, and that the dad stays a solid friend of Bill W.
