Frankie-

I think most Adam Sandler flicks have Rob Schneider in it...aren't they connected at the hip?

But neither are in Office space.

But no movie where Rob Schnider is the star, e.g. "The Animal" and "The Hot Chick.".

And I'm lactose intolerant, too. But Lactaid makes a good egg nog this time of year.

I have no desires or expectations of anyone else any more either. Everything I've desired is gone or disappointed, so maybe someone will surprise me some day, but I'm not counting on it.

I do what I want, I watch what I want, I eat what, and it's when I want.

I had a few good friends here, hopefully I'll find one when I move down there, otherwise, Comfortably Numb is the best way, nobody cares about me, I don't care any more.

I used to think I was Invisible, but I realize I'm just mostly Ignored. Makes those who don't, all that more special and noticed.

I want something.
I want my own life. I don't want to take care of anyone. I want to do what I want when I want. I want my life to be my life. Not a Mom, Not a daughter, not a wife, not a friend. I want to be left alone. I want my mind back too. I don't want the worries anymore.
Okay.. I'm better now.

Are you sensing the anger and frustration... Well magnify it tenfold and that's about where I am right now.

I hope you all are having a better day/night than I am.

^MsViv, I used to say that when I was living with my marital family towards the end, and that's exactly what happened, with little exception, I've been left ALONE.

After a few months on my own I remembered saying "I wish they'd just leave me alone" .. and so I was, then 2 years later my career ended as well, so now I'm nearly totally alone

Geo, are you sad about it? Because right now that sounds like it would be my perfect life. But I'd have to keep my dog.

Personally, I think this thread is defeatist and sad.

nope, not sad about it, I'm really happy in my near total isolation, the few left in my life are generally supportive. but sometimes I have pangs feeling it would be nice if there were others at times

But isn't that a place you were pushed to by heartache and hurt? Would you be there absent that Pain?

Rman,

You seem down lately. Maybe you should lay off the cigs. Try a blueberry smoothie with wheat germ, or something perky people would eat.

If you desire nothing then that is the maximum that you will attain. Christ, that sounds like something a buddhist monk would say! I think it's normal to take on this attitude as a defence against any possible defeats that may come your way. Christmas is the worst time of the year and my first two Christmasses after my split were spent having a good stiff drink with the only person that could stand my company at the time - myself. You have the right to be pissed at the world for a while but you will eventually start to dream again.

Y'no what I want? I want someone to remember that every damn christmas eve, everyone that sleeps at my house on that night gets new pajamas. You know, I was married for 16 years, and never got one fucking set. Not once.

Not that I'm bitter or anything.

I always wanted a set of pajamas that looked like a grinch outfit but the socks were always too tight and the head was never screwed on just right.

I concur... and I also stopped reading past the office space reply because I love that movie and man, it would be great to just not give a shit...
