then came a knock on the door, which was odd, and the picture abruptly changed

Goddamn spider solitaire.

I didn't get my haircut today. I was too tired. Too tired to go sit in a chair somewhere while someone plays with my hair. Now that's tired. I blame the freaks in chat.

I cleaned my apartment today. That is to say I washed a few dishes and vacuumed. I did start to clean my bedroom, but I lost interest halfway through. I moved my nightstand to the other side of the bed and stripped the linens off the bed. But now I don't feel like remaking the bed. Maybe I will sleep on the couch tonight.

I hate MADD. Like I said in chat, it seems they can't see past the end of their grief. They are lobbying against lowering an alcohol tax because they think it will encourage more drinking. Just like the higher tax discouraged it? Come on. Any intro to microeconomics student can tell you the sin tax doesn't have the desired effect. Maybe we need a 3-day waiting period on beer.

You know what sucks about breakups? You get all this cool stuff introduced to you by someone, and then when they are gone, you have all this stuff you like that reminds you of them. Which is nice, but at the same time makes it hard to move on. I don't want to abandon all the great things T "gave" me, and I don't want to give up the things I "gave" him. But. I guess I need some of my own stuff. But as we have clearly established, I don't want my own stuff. I want his stuff and my stuff to be our stuff again. Gah. Need to snap out of that.

I bought ant spray tonight. It seems like it is working, tho a few ants were able to get past the perimeter. I had to squish them. Sad, but this is my domain. Do I crawl around in their anthills? No, because it is rude to go where you have not been invited.

There's more, but I can't remember it. So here ya go.

I disagree. Those ants came in without an invitation. That is true. But, that is their way. They don't know of our rules about entering other households. They think everyone likes to party like they do. They are big disco fans. (Another good reason to squash them, maybe.) They like to watch strobe lights. They sing karoke. Badly. They can drink mixed drinks. They especially like Grasshoppers. They like irony. Much like humans, they don't enjoy being squashed. Unlike humans, they don't let that harsh their groove.
So, the next time squash an ant be happy that you got them out of their domain. Also, be happy that the party will continue. Then dance around the room to imaginary disco balls. Point to the ceiling. Continue on with your life.

Why sleep on the couch? Just stay in chat the whole night long. Easy solutions. They are easy to find if you are a simple person.

You know, I don't know the whole story about your break up. But, the way you knock yourself around everytime you bring it up, you make it sound like it happened 12 years ago. You are supposed to be all sad and unhappy about stuff now. You don't need to snap out of it. That snapping will happen naturally. Unless you broke up 12 years go. In which case, you should snap out of it. Then when you are done snapping out of it, eat like five boxes of cereal. That solves most problems that have lasted 12 years.

I wanted to know about the more that you couldn't remember. Then I asked some guy in chat what it was. He said it was a silly story about Dracula delievering mail in 18th century Italy. So, maybe I don't want to hear about it.
