I've taken up the challenge of trying to combine both. I make it a point of not trying to live exclusively for myself but at the same time I realise that, in order to be a reliable person in the eyes of everyone else, I need to stand firmly in my shoes which works best if my own life is somewhat satisfactory. Thus, I work out and lay off snacking to stretch my life long enough but I claim the weekends mine and give in to short-term pleasures such as booze and incredibly loud music. The system works.
You can think whatever you want. You can feel however you please. You can even be attracted to whoever you want. But there are some thoughts and feelings you may not act upon, regardless of genetics and tragic history. I see them as flawed and needy of help. However, they are still a menace to society whichever way you choose to twist or turn it.
Indeed they can, but I have to admit that, at the moment, I'm clean out of ideas. I'll get back to you on that though. Plenty of time to rest and...
Thanks. I appreciate that.
Easy one: Peur(s) du Noir.
-locked- On request.
Meh, it's time for lunch for me anyway. :p Have fun at work. Hope to see you soon!
Monty Python, I take it? Yeah, that whole Black Knight scene was pretty damn hilarious especially the first time I saw it. "What are you gonna do? Bleed on me?" Classic. Or did you mean something else?
I'm fine. I feel a lot better at home, the atmosphere's very relaxed. That, and the food's better. :p The fixator thing gets in the way a lot but...
Hey! Long time no talk. Heard you had a ****** day yesterday. I hope that whatever was bugging you is dealt with now. :)
Yeah, I'm doing well, thanks. Slowly learning to maneuver this wheelchair here. Has much changed since I left, aside from the new skin?
I'll manage. I'm a patient person so I'll just sit it out and focus on healing and keeping my muscle atrophy to a minimum. ;)
Hi guys! Good to be back! So apparently I'm one of those lucky people to heal fast enough to be allowed to recover at home for the weeks to come. I'm confined to a wheelchair for the full eight weeks but I can spend the rest of them at home (read: at my parents). Fortunately. So what happened exactly? Of course I don't remember a thing myself but I've been told that, while crossing the street with my bicycle (I don't drink and drive) I was "intercepted" by a speeding motorcycle and was hit full in the flank. We were both catapulted a few meters ahead. According to the police I was still conscious at that point, although I suffered heavy blood loss. The next few hours (days?) were critical: at one point my odds of survival were reduced to 10%. Like my cousin said, I had broken ribs and a broken knee. My pelvis was "split open" and I'm wearing a titanium fixator now to keep everything in place, hence the wheelchair (I'm disallowed to put any pressure on said pelvis). My inner organs are recovering well; I ended up with a little hole in my lung and a liver crease that bled particularly nastily the first hours after the accident. Met some complications along the way (fluid on my lungs which made me short of breath, vomiting bile etc.) but they're all dealt with now. The other guy, the motorcyclist, wasn't so lucky. His helmet came off during his few seconds of airborneness and he suffered a severe head trauma. He's dead. I realise that, in a way, I was extremely lucky. Long story short, I can be active here again and I'll probably pick up my moderating duties tomorrow. Thank you guys for all the support you've expressed here in this thread. I really appreciate it and I look forward to hanging around again. Thank you very much. By the way, cool new skin.
I know, right? :p Anyway, I'm going out in a sec. I'll talk to you later! Be well and see you soon!
If we're talking about a real depression here, it's not going to go away in one day. It takes a long process. I'm leaving this thread open for now. Of course bobo.the.nut can always request a lock for this, but I doubt his friend's problems will be resolved already. ;)
They bitch-slap with more punch to it.
You mean besides megalomania?
And you'd still win the "Best Username" award next year.
Whores bitch-slap. Guys punch.
I know that every man and woman on this forum would try to hit on me if I said that I was a woman or man respectively. I'm leaving you in the dark so no one would fancy me out of fear of discovering their own homosexuality.
