I don't feel like it. Got plenty to do—dishes to wash, files to sort, furniture to put back where it belongs—but I don't feel like it. It's the last day of a lousy year, a year of loneliness and ugliness and financial upheaval. It's the last day of the year, and I'm still buried in flea market junk—old, dusty merchandise, unwanted buildings, people who don't pay their debts—my apartment is still a disaster, and I'm still waiting for the cable guys to finish doing their thing. It's the last day of the year, and I'm grumpy, cold, and tired. Whatever it is, whatever you need, call someone else. I don't feel like it.

Apparently I will not be able to be home alone at least for the next few months.

I think what I'll miss the most is listening to music when showering and singing. Those are things I only do when I'm home alone (or when my grandma is here too because she can't hear me anyway).

I missed the New Year's ball dropping for the first time ever this year; I think I went to bed around 7 or 8.

It was okay though, my drunken neighbors alerted me to the news via hollerin' and fireworks. :bigsmile:

Ah think ah'll trust the wummin who's doing surgery an take her word over yours.
Whit with yer tendency for lying less convincing than Tony Blair giving evidence at the Chilcot Inquiry. And the surgeon being quite familiar with the operation in question.

My city sucks for an alternative scene and people. It's like they're all holed up in their homes and refuse to come out or even frequent the internet. The one time I do meet one, he has issues that make mine look like a cake walk and doesn't want anything to do with me.

I'm so sick of all these sports bars, meatheads, hipsters, the rap/hip-hop scene, theatre/comedy hype, and yuppies. Just sick of all of these a**holes stealing all the spotlight in the city. Get out of my sight, you ugly, loud wastes of space...

I don't know if you mean alternative as in gay or just a misfit.

Back in "my day" you could be a misfit in America and find other misfits to hang with fairly easily. But these days people seem scared to be a misfit and seem more conformist than ever.

It was great! I had a flop haircut which was shaved in the back and long in the front, and I had friends with mohawks and Doc Martins. My first gf was a pale goth before that was even a thing.

But then, I come from the "Breakfast Club" generation and now if they made that movie they would be on their phones most of the time rather than sharing tender moments in a high school library. hehe

Misfit. I don't think I'd even consider gay to be alternative, not in a big metropolitan city, anyway.

I swear, I should've been born in a different decade. I hate everything.

I've heard gay referred to as "alternative" lifestyle before which is why I wanted to clarify that.

The 80s were pretty good time to be a misfit. Early 90s as well. I knew lots of strange people.

We'd stay up all night talking about weird shit or we would go get breakfast at like 3am with all the drunks.

Sounds like the good ol' days. Like I mentioned before, I can't even locate people online. Either they've all moved away from here or they've isolated themselves from the rest of the city that much. It's all so depressing.

Yeah, that does sound depressing.

I'm in a rural area now and it's depressing also. There really isn't anywhere to go or interesting people. Just the same old stuff over and over again. Everywhere you go.

Which is why I'm sitting here drinking alone....

Perhaps I just need to get out more. I've been contemplating going to this place away from my yuppie neighborhood for the past 2 hours now (they open at 10). I don't like dancing, but even being a wallflower with a bottle of hard cider sounds more appealing than wallowing in my own misery.

Nah, mon. No dancing. I'll gladly watch other people "dance" (because we all know that's not really dancing), but I don't wanna be involved.
