Emotion

[lynxreign]

Last night I started feeling sad for a moment. Then I realized I wasn't sad, I was lonely. I've evidently been conflating sad and lonely quite often, leading me to believe I'm more depressed than I am when actually I'm just missing having a girlfriend. I need to be more aware of the difference between sad and lonely.
Sad and lonely...




Won't some sweet momma come and take a chance with me
'cause I ain't so bad.

Sorry... I had to.

"Emotions are for ethnic people!"

I had that song stuck in my head last week and had just managed to get it out. Damn you!

Also, you know I'm here if you need anything or need to talk or whatever.

Re: "Emotions are for ethnic people!"

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

Hooray! My song timing is good!
I'm ethnic!
Sure, but once I realized I was lonely, I felt much better. Weird, huh?

Re: "Emotions are for ethnic people!"

[head58.livejournal.com]

Makes sense to me. Better to be able to pin the feeling down than just have a nebulous free-floating sad.

And this weekend, we'll fill your life with chaos so you don't have time to be sand and/or lonely!

Re: "Emotions are for ethnic people!"

Heck yeah! That's one reason I'm really looking forward to moving to MA.

Speaking of this weekend, when are you arriving? We bought a brand new, queen size aerobed with pillow top. And new sheets!

Re: "Emotions are for ethnic people!"

[head58.livejournal.com]

ooh! new aerobed! Should we still bring ours for the General?

Not sure of the arrival. Ali's going to see her dad on Friday morning but we were going to leave after that. What time would you like us there/will you be home from work?

Re: "Emotions are for ethnic people!"

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

Yes, 'cause the old one we have leaks. He'd be on the floor partway through the night.

Anytime you want to show up is fine. I'll be working from home on Friday.

Re: "Emotions are for ethnic people!"

[head58.livejournal.com]

Probably late afternoon then. We want to get out of MA before the weekend rush has the Pike backed up for miles.

Sadly, I'll miss the Paul Levitz signing :(

Re: "Emotions are for ethnic people!"

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

Sounds good to me.

Paul Levitz signing?

Re: "Emotions are for ethnic people!"

[head58.livejournal.com]

He's going to be at Comicopia in Kenmore Square Friday afternoon. I had been planning to go and have some old Adventure or All-Star or Legion comics signed, but only recently realized it was the day we wee supposed to be driving down. The signing is at 2, and that's just too late. Oh well.

Re: "Emotions are for ethnic people!"

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

Ah well. Perhaps you'll have to go to the Giant Comic Con in CA. Or maybe the one in NYC as I understand that one is actually good these days.

When was he sand?

-cracks up-


I hear ya, though...

Unfortunately, sometimes I conflate overtired with lonely. But I hear ya.

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

Something else to watch out for!

[xerhino.livejournal.com]

Now if you can just confuse sadness for pickup truck and employment problems you'll be ready for a career in country music.

[xerhino.livejournal.com]

Oh, also, bummer. Hope you get that fixed. (I'm an insensitive clod, you know).

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

Get what fixed? The lonely part? Or my inability to miss a song cue?

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

Nah, country ain't whut it used ter be.

[emmalyon.livejournal.com]

You know, from what I hear Diamond Dave is feeling sad and lonely too....
(his show is tanking and he fired his sidekicks)

You need to stalk someone on the internet, it worked for me!!

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

I will be stalking no-one.

[emmalyon.livejournal.com]

Not even Dave? He could use the ratings....

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

Is he DJing or blathering?

[emmalyon.livejournal.com]

Blathering...I think he was playing some music for a while but they made him stop. He's apparently prety close to being fired.

I would listen, but a) he is not on in this market snd b) we have a really good alternative rock station out here, so why listen to people babble?

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

Yeah, from what I've read they hired him and said "Be Howard Stern!" And of course he wasn't so they said "Change things now!" even though he'd only been there a short time. They aren't giving him a realistic chance.

[emmalyon.livejournal.com]

The funniest part to me is that Stern's ratings are not good either, so maybe Dave IS accurately emulating him....

Hummala-bebbula-zeebula-bubbula-hummala-bebbula-zeebula-BOP!

(Sorry, couldn't help myself.) Hope things get better soon, Lynxie. Been there myself and I know VERY well how it feels...

[vampyrusgirl.livejournal.com]

I heard that song at work the other day while making diets, and sang along, quite loudly. :)

I'm sorry you're feeling that way - it'll pass.

[head58.livejournal.com]

That's our next karaoke song!

[vampyrusgirl.livejournal.com]

Oh, it *so* is...

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

Sad? Yes, that passes.
Lonely? More chronic than fatal, but usually under the surface.

[urnesha.livejournal.com]

I know the feeling. I'm tired of married men hitting on me when they have nothing to offer. And I'm tired of friends with benefits. I want a relationship dammit!

[head58.livejournal.com]

I'm tired of married men hitting on me when they have nothing to offer.

sorry.

[urnesha.livejournal.com]

lol you're funny. *grin*

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

Sorry hon. I hope you find someone the monent you get back to the states.

[urnesha.livejournal.com]

lol well said.

I too hope that I don't find someone within the next year. I don't want to have to choice between grad school and love cause the latter will win and then I won't move to Boston and I do want to.

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

I think artemis may come down to Trinidad just to skewer any potential mates you find there.

[crack-city.livejournal.com]

/signed >.<

[emilytheslayer.livejournal.com]

Sorry you're sad and lonely, or were sad and lonely, really, since I'm getting to this pretty late. Know what would make you feel better? Calling me back. Yup, works every time. :)

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

LOL
It is probably too late tonight. I'm working from home tomorrow, perhaps I shall call you then.

[emilytheslayer.livejournal.com]

Yes! Call me! I have to go to school for a little while now, but I'll be around all day and will have my phone with me and everything. If I don't answer then I'm probably on the train, underground, but I'll call you back and etc.

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

Then I likely shall.

[emilytheslayer.livejournal.com]

Yay! I never get to talk to anyone enough, except my mom 'cause she always calls at the worst times possible.

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

Aw : -(
I thought you were hanging out with people and stuff during the week.

[emilytheslayer.livejournal.com]

*Emo Sigh* Nah, I work too much and weird hours. I could hang out with people today, but it's, you know, Wednesday, which means most people are at work.

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

I got to hang out with inochinoakari for an hour last night in the supermarket. We bought food!

[emilytheslayer.livejournal.com]

That's pretty awesome. Food is good! :)

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

We spent nearly $200 : -(
But food is good. Even though she wouldn't let me put her toiletries in the fridge when we got home...

[emilytheslayer.livejournal.com]

Do I even want to know? Nevermind, I'm sure you'll tell me when you call. I have to go. :)

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

Bye!
