Today is a fog day, that's what I call it. I just want to be lifted out of it... Today I feel like if I blipped off the face of the planet no one would notice, and they probably wouldn't. I have 8 friends, less if you count peolpe I actually talk to about anything, and I don't know what to do with myself other than cry tonight. Drinkin isn't helping, I jsut want someone to hold me... any suggestions?

No, he's my gay best friend. My boyfriend is off at his place with his roomie (girl with 2 kids) and my backstabbing ex-best friend that's trying so hard to fuck me over and I just can't deal with that. Not at all...

having 8 friends is alot, my dear. Most people may only have one good friend and the rest are just aquaintenses(sp).

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring?
