ZombieNixon's 3-Step Guide to Combatting Depression:

[ZombieNixon]

1. Host a pity party in the DU Lounge
I had one yesterday that extended on into this morning. I won't post a link because it sleeps with the fishes, as it should. :evilfrown: Those of you who read/posted in it know what I'm talking about.

2. Buy a new shirt.

$20 at Target! And it was a two-story Target with a cool conveyor belt to move your cart between floors! It was an exciting experience! :bounce:

3. Wear the new shirt to dinner at a superfantabulous Italian restaurant.
O! M! F! G! The Italian Village: upper story of 71 W. Monroe in the Chicago Loop! O-M-F-G! A-fucking-mazing!! There was a super-hot waitress (sadly not ours), too! My bill came to about $30, but TOTALLY WORTH IT!!! :bounce:

Mmm...tomorrow, orange chicken in Chinatown!

I can't say everything's all better, because I still have a lot of shit to work through, but I don't feel like curling up in the fetal position and sucking my thumb anymore. Plus, I look good in my new shirt!

11. You don't have to sell me on retail therapy

;)

[ZombieNixon]

12. That's true,

but woman retail therapy and dude retail therapy are two completely different animals: we don't do the whole hardcore thing...one or two items ans we're out of there. :D

13. Lightweights

You can't really cure the depression until after you've scored the perfect outfit and accessories. On sale.

It's in the girl handbook.

14. There is no such thing as a "perfect outfit"

and I don't even kniw what "accessories" are...:shrug: :D

6. Great shirt, great story, and a great guy!

I'm doing the same thing with my thread on my terrific experience at Fry's!

But now it's sinking! :cry:

Good to see you tonight, my dear ZombieNixon!

[ZombieNixon]

8. Well, we can't let that happen!

Just kicked it! :kick:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. Thank you! You are too sweet to me, my dear ZombieNixon!

I see I gave back your chair......:rofl:

[ZombieNixon]

10. Weird thing, huh?

I woke up and there it was! I suppose you drugged me so I wouldn't notice you putting it back...:D
