Up late, and feeling blue.

[Gothic Sponge]

:-(

[Lenape85]

[Lenape85]

[shawmut]

31. You Can't Be 20 On Sugar Mountain

Though You Think You're Leaving There Too Soon ...

[orleans]

2. not really

but what's the matter you?

[Gothic Sponge]

5. My love life sucks,

[coloradodem2005]

14. My life sucks too.

It feels like everyone's life has progressed and mine has regressed. I don't see any way out of my predicament.

[hfojvt]

18. I used to write poems in my 20s

Now that I am in my forties I realize they all had the same theme: "life sucks". After a while, I got used to it, carved out a spot, found some good things, got a couple dogs. Maybe it was the dogs that made the difference. Now I sorta have somebody to steady my life.

3. Only one AM here

so it is not yet late.
We are not allowed to feel blue in this red state. You should be thankful that you can.

[orleans]

i've been more in a "funk" lately

[alittlelark]

6. I just got my Cinnamon-dogs ashes back

I am so blue as to be ultra-violet......

[orleans]

7. samuel huntington is ruining my evening

what kind of class has kids writing a 50 page term paper?? Sheesh.

[orleans]

10. a college class?

and who is samuel huntington and why does he want to ruin your evening?

[barackmyworld]

15. he is a pretty big author

"Clash of Civilizations" is his most famous famous theory and book

[hfojvt]

30. and nobody here has read it

How does it compare to "The Parable of the Tribes"?

[Lenape85]

13. I have to do a 50-page paper for Intro To Lit

So, I know it's to be expected.

[hfojvt]

16. what kind of teacher

wants to read and grade scores of 50 page papers?
And fifty pages. Wow.
I once took a summer class where we had to write one eight page paper per week. Most of the other students cheated, summarizing the articles, which they were not supposed to do. I ended up quoting another one of my papers for two of my pages, and I titled my last paper "another eight pages".

[orleans]

21. great title

did you score extra points for being scarcastically creative?

[hfojvt]

27. Not in that class

That prof graded kinda arbitrary. I do not remember any of the papers being graded as such. He always assigned more work than it was possible to get done, so we got incompletes and owed him some kind of huge project. This was in graduate school, and grading papers always seemed kinda arbitrary. My roommate was reading one of my papers that I got back and he said, "how can you write 'good point' on every page and still give the paper only a B?"

[gfr4656]

19. the kind of class at harvard!?!?

sorry. should've been to post #7.

[Tafiti]

37. How is he as a professor?

I was a political science major, so we spent some time reading and talking about his "Clash of Civilizations", especially in international politics, and, of course, after 9/11.

50 pages - that's shitty. Sounds like my political theory professor -the kind who seems to think you have no other work to be doing except for his class.

[Biased Liberal Media]

17. Well, I feel green

Just kidding. Hope that made ya laugh a lil.

:hug:

[Gothic Sponge]

20. Thanks.

:)

[orleans]

22. are you the author of the killer thread game? or thread killer?

what a great idea! it reminds me of a game called "killer" that is played in theater improv classes

[Gothic Sponge]

24. I'm that evil person.

:)

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

23. Yep I am blue too .

I've got family drama and my sweetheart is heading to Iraq next month .

[Gothic Sponge]

25. Oh crap!

I'm sorry. I wish this war would end!

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

26. Oh so do I ... this is so hard ... Bush makes me sick .

He just called me a couple of hours ago . Risked getting in trouble with his higherups , calling me and hiding in his sleeping bag . Is that not cute or what ?

[Gothic Sponge]

28. That is sweet.

I miss being in love.

[orleans]

32. yeah......i have a vague recollection of what that was like

however, i did see two foxes out carrousing in the neighborhood tonight. but they weren't "foxes" --they were really two literal foxes; fluffy tails and all.

[cmd]

33. I feeling water logged

Make this rain go away. Water is starting to come into the basement. There is a lake between the house and garage that should not be there. The flood control dams around me are at the highest levels ever with one dam leaking. If that dam goes, many people in the area will be flooded out. Just make the rain go away.

[orleans]

34. where are you?

i mean--what state?

[cmd]

35. eastern Ohio

The Tuscarawas river flows into the Muskingum which flows into the Ohio at Marietta. Marietta has suffered major flooding this week. The dams upstream are keeping the river cities downstream safe. Unfortunately, we are getting too much rain.

36. I worked late last night.

But still up relatively early. I can relate though. At the moment, I should be going over a bunch of divorce junk to give to the attorney. I feel like I have a thousand things all at once weighing me down and I'm trying to retain a modicum of inner peace as not to go mad. So far, so good, but yeah, some days are harder than others. :hug:

I do have some feelings with someone, but they remain in perpetually unfulfilled limbo. Very bittersweet. :(
