Stranger in a strange land
went to a party in my old neighborhood. I guess it doesn't matter that I still pay the lion's share of the mortgage, or that my son lives there, or any of that.

People looked at me like I'd come in from the desert and people who had been friendly and warm now seemed cold and indifferent.

So I took care of myself and left. My son is sick anyway and didn't feel like staying there.

Some things suck, and sometimes people just seem to suck.

:shrug:

1. I'm sorry, SPK.
:( :hug: People can be total assholes sometimes. I'm going to go with the idea that they feel they are not worthy of your awesomeness (which is probably true ;)) and don't know how to handle it. :shrug: Anyway, I'm sorry it didn't go well for you...but The Lounge has got your back, man! :pals: :hug: :loveya: :grouphug: Love ya.

5. Yep. Sometimes everything stinks.
People don't know how to react after break-ups too, and it gets weird.



WAIT-You were wearing pants, Emperor SPK -- right?

7. I know exactly what you mean
when my ex and I were married, we were invited to parties and cook-outs. After I divorced, I stayed on the same street and the parties and cook-outs went on, but I wasn't invited any more.

It hurts. It really hurts.

:hug:

11. eh, you know
most people just flippin suck.

I think they mostly can't help it which is what saves me from a swirling abyss filled with nothing but spiritual torment and mental anguish.

Well, it saves me most days, anyway. :)

Sorry, dude. :hug:
