I'm worried about the people I haven't seen here today. |
|
I mean, I've been here since 6am. Woke up and couldn't get back down, then gave up hope of sleeping when the concession thing happened. Then started drinking again which enabled me to take a little afternoon nap. I woke up and it was fucking dark outside. How fucking appropriate.
Anyway, I've been doing my level best to make the Lounge a little less heartwrenching for myself with some misplaced, and often quite sick, humor. It's the only tool I got anymore. But I worry over the people who just haven't checked in at all today. So any of you who are not on DU today, try to telepathically pop into this thread, to let us know yer OK. It's not the end of the world. It's just the BEGINNING of the end of the world. ;-)

To sit back, and read. Maybe some weed. Our brains it will feed. If we do not show, on this 3'rd day. Don't worry, we'll be back. More relaxed, to come play.

It was sheer torture trying to get through work without being unpleasant, but I did it. I hope everyone else is okay.
It's great to check into DU and seeing people buck up, and even trying to be positive. You guys are the best!

2. Ahhh, give it a couple of days |
|
People will be back to their old bitchy, back-biting selves before you know it. Me? I've been kind of sick the last couple of days. Sore throat looking to turn into a nasty head cold.

15. I think Chavez must be halfway to Italy by now. |
|
If he sobered up enough to find the airport, that is. Damn, there was lots of rage in this place this morning. What an ugly fucking day it's been, in what's shaping up to be one ugly fucking decade. Still, I understand we'll get candy bars and cigarettes in our Red Cross packages at the camps. :shrug:

22. I distinctly remember telling him ... |
|
until they came for the white, middle-class, middle-aged agnostic/atheists, I'd continue to send him 'care packages,' but once they got to that part of the list, he was on his own.
I feel for him. Sad that they claim to be so holy, but we are the ones who feel like whatever damages the most vulnerable among us damages all of us.

I'm glad you are here and I will be all mushy with you tonight, but tomorrow, it's back to the taunting and the general silliness that defines our relationship. Now NEVER, NEVER tell anyone I did this, but :hug: okay everybody - stop staring :hi: nothing to see here :hi: move along...thanks ;)

Can you hop in yer car and start driving around the country, state by state, and picking us all up one by one so we can start a new life together, figure out how to shrink ourselves to micro-scale, and colonize the hood of your car in fine liberal tradition for the future good of humanity? But then who's gonna build the re-biggenator? Dammit!

I will hop into my car, pick up you (because you are a pervert) and a few other DU perverts, and we will drive around the south. There we will become part of fundy church communities. We will associate with them but only on a one on one basis. We will seduce them and get them drunk (fundies love alcohol and gay sex when nobody is looking) Then we will convert them to liberalism when they realize sex toys are outlawed in their communities. The only way we can take this country back is one hypocritical undersexed fundi at a time. Sound like a plan?

I don't mind the cold. I always figured that when it's too hot, there's only so much you can do. Take yer clothes off, wet yerself (with water, I mean, to lower yer skin temp through evaporation. Not to get nekkid and pee on yerself. That's kinda gross. Unless yer German.). But as far as I know, Earth has never gotten cold enough to freeze a fire.

and you seem to need that about now - notwithstanding the evaporation, the peeing on yourself and the general frigidity of the area...

I had a high level of anxiety all day at work over this, especially since several people brought it up including one coworker "I am so happy for Bush." When I got home and a bit more relaxed, I took a long nap. I am still kind of out of it and probably won't stay up much. I am going to a concert tomarrow night with my husband and friends. Maybe, I'll feel better then.

Been checking in on and off all day. I watched the concession speech through sobs, took a nap and have not turned on a news channel since. And I have no intention to do so, for a while at least. I am still here, just have no energy to post anything for a while. It's been a long 24 hours..... :cry:
