out to lunch

Aug 25, 2002 03:27

Recently I’ve been writing less and thinking more. This is usually a sure sign that the things that I’m thinking are a poor show - the usual rule being if it’s worth pondering it is worth writing down. I tried an exercise where I wrote down what I’d been thinking about and sure enough, what seemed reasonable in my head looked like deranged nonsense ( Read more... )

rhetorical head-nodding. filmstarwhip August 24 2002, 20:18:22 UTC

I'm getting to know the feeling of needing distraction. either it's a sign my annual down-and-out funk is about to hit or I'm just losing my touch for everything. perhaps I should get out more, but unluckily I can't stand most of the people I come across and my tolerance is getting low.

I would but I can't afford to take up drinking.

Ah! In a perfect we could get drunk as hell together and wake up in a ditch.

It's funny you should say that, because that's exactly what I did tonight. I woke up outside Buckingham Palace and payed £2.80 for a taxi to Trafalgar Square. No idea what happened there.

PS. It didn't seem like a perfect world at the time.

Distraction, reaction, fortify?
I'm meant to be keeping my distraction tactics to a minimum but a lifetime's habbit is hard to kick.
Had a thought concerning your 'terrible stuff'. Say a person with a saw like edged life came by and fitted with someone elses like a puzzle, being the complete 'opposite' or rather .. what's that word .. like embossed? Anyway. It would be the ultimate proof that opposites do or don't attract . Or something.

recessed? that word is bugging me. Please find it for me.

Well, in my perfect society ... anonymous August 25 2002, 11:00:05 UTC

we'd have three day weekends. I like the weekdays better than weekends, so the three days would occur in the middle of the week Thursday, Friday, Saturday. No one would have to work more than forty hours a week, preferably less, and everyone would have hour lunch breaks (I get 25 minutes as it stands). Oh, and comfortable chairs at work would be a standard.

Personality does have a lot to do with how society functions; but your writing here (quoted) looks like something I might have written while under the influence of psychdelics (admittedly).

As for oblivion, yes it calls -- a siren song. I'm sleeping way too much. And every once in a while, I've taken a sleeping pill. Not a good idea, though at those moments, I couldn't be convinced of this. I guess a bottle of really good whiskey may cure the need for oblivion quicker.

You dreamed you were your own father? That's quite unusual... could mean a whole bunch of stuff. Parents tend to symbolise some kind of moralising, but if you were your own father in the dream that would mean you were moralising at yourself... Are you feeling esp down on yourself about some aspect of your behaviour recently?

On the other hand not knowing a) you or b) anything about your father and your past and present relationship with him I am probably completely unqualified to to interpret your dream. Pray disregard the above.

Re: Dream zerozero August 27 2002, 09:34:27 UTC

father in this case is step-father in case that helps. and your interpretation of dreaming i was him is spot-on, or at least agrees with my own.

Re: Dream anonymous August 28 2002, 09:29:38 UTC

So you dreamed that you were your stepfather? Hum… what were you actually doing in the dream while you were your stepfather? Were you actually in the dream as yourself as well as being there as your stepfather ( ... )
