IrishMist -> Brand new year...looking up? (1/15/2006 8:00:55 PM)
Ok, so here I am, sitting here thinking about myself and life in general. My depression and consequent drinking spree at Christmas and New Years seems to be so far off, that sometimes I wonder if it ever happened. At least until I look at the bottle of Jack that is still sitting in the cabinet, almost gone...then I shudder as I remember the hangover that lasted for a week, and I know ....yes, it happened. Yes, I am on a ramble again tonight, but it's a good ramble. No, I am not drunk, unless you can count happiness as intoxication. [:)] That's right. I went and did it. I let down the barriers for just a second...and he not only walked right in as if he owned the place...he proceeded to completly break every wall, and every defense that I had put up after the death of my husband. /shakes head I am still in shock as to how he managed to do it. I think he was chipping away for awhile, and I just did not know it at the time. We had bantered around with each other in fun, bickered playfully...all in innocense...until I answered that flippin email from him. That's right. The smart-assed, opinionated, Irish Bitch has been side-swiped but good...brought to her knees in one fell swoop. But that's not the worse of it. The girl who swore she would never do a LDR outside of military requirements...suddenly finds herself in one...fate is truly cruel. But I guess the up side is that in a couple weeks, we will be together. I just FUCKING HATE THE WAITING. It sucks. Big time. Really, really, big time. [:o] [:)] ANyway, I just wanted to share with ya'll [8D]

Wacky weather this year though. Might be interesting to sit and chat about the various storms and the events which precipitated them

KatyLied -> RE: Brand new year...looking up? (1/17/2006 10:40:56 AM)
Noah, some people's storms are other people's dramas!

Yes, I am on a ramble again tonight, but it's a good ramble. No, I am not drunk, unless you can count happiness as intoxication. I hate to rain on your parade, but when I see someone going from depression to being drunk on happiness, I have to wonder if you've got a bipolar thing going on. If so, you should consider getting a reality check before getting too carried away. Too often around here we see the aftermath of folks (usually women) who enter into LDRs with such high hopes only to have them come crashing down after a betrayal. quote: I let down the barriers for just a second...and he not only walked right in as if he owned the place...he proceeded to completly break every wall, and every defense that I had put up after the death of my husband. It sounds like you were in a vulnerable position and I sincerely hope for your sake that you have let down your guard to a guy who deserves it and not just one who is taking advantage of it. For example, I know of one guy prowling these boards who seems to have that effect on some gals and they get all giddy when he publicly professes how much he loves them. Problem is, he makes those empty statements of devotion while he is trolling for his next conquest. He has even gone so far as to dump one because he was hoping to meet the next, but after being rejected he came crawling back like a dog acting contrite and making reassuring promises to get a second chance -- and then he turned around and did it again! I haven't figured out if he is a despicable self-centered ass or mentally unbalanced and not really in control of his impulses, but either way he is just scum and I pity any gal who falls for his phony act. Of course, I know you don't want to hear any of this and you're probably saying "It won"t happen to me." Maybe it won't and everything will turn out better than your wildest dreams, but how about at least keeping your eyes open to make sure?
