prefer coprophiliacs to aspie jokes, tbh

It's all a rich tapestry.

The breakup thread is breaking up.

we all make horribly malformed "jokes" sometimes

sarahel, Friday, 10 September 2010 05:45 (thirteen years ago) link

I've got to keep up my reputation as the unfunniest funny person on ILX, see.

Christine Green Leafy Dragon Indigo, Friday, 10 September 2010 05:47 (thirteen years ago) link

oh that was actually about roxy's joke -

Have You Ever Shit Your Pants?

buzza, Friday, 10 September 2010 06:46 (thirteen years ago) link

And both of the things we were just talking about converge into one post.

Actually, someone else threatened to start a thread with that title, so I went ahead and did it for him.

when you say you are going through a transitional phase do you mean you are transitioning into a butthole because that's what it looks like to me.

peacocks, Thursday, 16 September 2010 14:32 (thirteen years ago) link

ask him if he's practicing teaching his butthole how to talk!

sarahel, Thursday, 16 September 2010 19:48 (thirteen years ago) link

ugh. i guess these things happen.

To paraphrase an ilxor's mother's ex-boyfriend, you can't make your heart turn into a face.

ex-husband rather, and if you have not read this thread, it may cheer you up a little. Read it when you feel like you want something of that sort:

My mother's incredibly stupid ex-husband

^ kind of sad but mostly lol

markers, Thursday, 28 October 2010 01:20 (thirteen years ago) link

yeah, i was referencing that. will reread when i'm able to focus better. trying to find some good music to listen to but everything feels so cliche.

jeff, Thursday, 28 October 2010 01:26 (thirteen years ago) link

thought i could cheer myself up and took my dog for a long walk earlier today. it was too hot for her and i had to carry her the whole way. it was pretty sad and pathetic. got really choked up thinking about how i figured that i'd have to deal with her dying at some point but the reality now is that i'll be gone and she's just going to forget about me.

jeff, Thursday, 28 October 2010 01:30 (thirteen years ago) link

Jeff, it gets a he'll of a lot better. I know when I've recently broken up, I feel antisocial and my world shrinks. Really, you have to force yourself to interact with family and friends, exercise some good habits, and go through the motions of a person who is functional. In my limited life experience, I'd say that acting like normal is the best thing to do. And when you can, go somewhere new and do something fun on your own, as a reminder you can.

mh, Thursday, 28 October 2010 02:43 (thirteen years ago) link

He'll -> hell

mh, Thursday, 28 October 2010 02:44 (thirteen years ago) link

I had a bit of a setback thinking about my most recent ex this morning and it made me feel shitty to think I still really miss him a lot. We had a very close friendship we lost thanks to turning it into a relationship and then breaking up - we're still friends and still in touch but it'll never be the same, and sometimes I get so sad.

Sunn O))) Sundae Smile (Trayce), Thursday, 28 October 2010 02:53 (thirteen years ago) link

yeah, went thru this about a month ago. keep strong, lean on good friends for support.

fakey (buzza), Thursday, 28 October 2010 02:56 (thirteen years ago) link

thanks dude. trayce, i feel you. for me, this is more about losing a best friend than just a girlfriend. i have other people to talk with but i don't think there is anyone who can truly comfort me. listening to promise ring and jimmy eat world now ffs.

jeff, Thursday, 28 October 2010 03:00 (thirteen years ago) link

sorry, that was meant to say "thanks dudes".

jeff, Thursday, 28 October 2010 03:01 (thirteen years ago) link

when there's such extant strength of feeling it never fails to bewilder and utterly sadden me that something can be torn so utterly asunder

acoleuthic, Thursday, 28 October 2010 03:03 (thirteen years ago) link

you can still be friends, but it takes time and distance, and the friendship is different. and no, there really isn't anyone who can truly comfort you - distract you, yes, but you have to work through it by yourself, which is almost the worst part, because you feel lonelier.

lol had this on blast after my last breakup

soda lake swame (Lamp), Thursday, 28 October 2010 03:04 (thirteen years ago) link

might have to give that a spin soon. had completely forgotten about them.

jeff, Thursday, 28 October 2010 03:07 (thirteen years ago) link

i have other people to talk with but i don't think there is anyone who can truly comfort me.

Ach yeah, this. The one person you want to turn to is the one person who's just ripped out yr insides and dropkicked them across the room :/

Sunn O))) Sundae Smile (Trayce), Thursday, 28 October 2010 03:30 (thirteen years ago) link

sorry jeff, sorry buzza, that really sucks guys

max, Thursday, 28 October 2010 04:08 (thirteen years ago) link

not very weezer/promise ring/knapsack-esque, but very helpful in a love bummer-esque way. last big break-up i had my immediate response was to take three hour baths with this on repeat:

Sorry to hear you guys are facing these struggles, jeff and buzza. I usually rely on Burt Bacharach tunes and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZZngTkp54I

I just realized today that my most recent breakup didn't hit me as hard as I thought it would b/c in a lot of ways I'm still shellshocked from the one two years ago. It's pretty distressing to know how long some pains can last. It makes me question how strong of a person I am to still let my life be so deeply affected by someone who has long since moved on.

Fetchboy, Thursday, 28 October 2010 19:49 (thirteen years ago) link

1. She and I agreed to be just friends 3 days ago. Things were too frequently turbulent, too strained, and commitment was too much of a problem.

2. We spent 3 wonderful days with each other, undefined as a couple but very much in league.

3. Tonight, I have been friend-dumped. I am not going to go into specifics, save for the fact it concerns a poetry-reading, some old university friends of mine, and my inability to deal with my emotions. I think she is a genius and I cried more than I have done at any other stage in my post-infancy life.

4. I am a fool.

5. Fuck.

6. I hope I learn.

7. I hope she and I meet again.

8. Cambridge is a poison.

9. Always fight for the one you love.

10. Self-control.

11. Don't give parasites an inch or they'll drive a wedge. Even if you have been friends with them for 5 years.
