Talking to Ourselves

[brightpearl]

Around here you can pat yourself on the back
talk yourself down off that ledge
make decisions
dither
figure out what to have for breakfast
give yourself a pep talk
work out your mother issues
think about cheese
tie a string around your finger

some days it's only my inner monologue that gets me through

it doesn't matter how you feel, as long as you don't feel bad about feeling that way.

[Bman]

shut up and go to sleep -_-

[Brynn]

You're going to be fine. And not just fine, but brilliant, so settle down and go over it again. Because you're very talented and you're going to have fun and it doesn't matter anyways. Would you like a frozen fruit bar to eat while you read? Who's your buddy? Who's your pal?

[Jack Flanders]

She's going to be fine. Moving away will help her grow up. I am so sad.

[Brynn]

sorry jacks :(

[Jack Flanders]

sorry jacks :(

thank you, Brynn. time marches on....

[brightpearl]

It's not your back; it's your heart.

[Marcus Bales]

It’s getting cold and dark, and wetter, too,
And we can’t hug each other any more.
I don’t know if there’s nothing more to do
Or only nothing more we could have done,
But either way we’re here above the shore
Wind-whipped on this wave-eroded cliff
Watching a green-black sea and orange sun
So tensely you would think it was as if
By making up our minds to faith or doubt
We thought we’d make the tide go in or out.

[lukkucairi]

it's OK to be in freefall - you do it all the time.

[brightpearl]

You are not, I repeat, not

in a jungle in Viet Nam.

[lukkucairi]

long haul, remember?

[T.I.P.]

just don't ask questions. remember where that got you last time.

[brightpearl]

Don't worry; he'll learn to see through it eventually.

[Coffee]

Hey...don't stress about it. Sure it was a really really stressfull work dream with threatened layoffs and crazy mixed up schedules. But, hell, we've had a lot of Work Stress dreams in the last year and a half...and you've only had your schedule changed a dozen times or so, and the company only went out of business once...ok...maybe just a little worry is appropriate.

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

Go to sleep. I dare you.

[lukkucairi]

your mind follows a route that is nearly always circuitous - if you could remember that more often, you'd freak out less :cool:

[Jaime]

Perseverance is the key to surviving adolesence. Both for those going through it, and those though have to deal with those going through it.

(Also, Hi everybody!)

[lukkucairi]

perseverance is the key to everything :)

(hi Jaime!)

[brightpearl]

Those grapes are prob'ly sour anyway.

[Brynn]

If you had different sense of humor that everyone could relate to,
then you wouldn't exist.

[lukkucairi]

now go wash your legs before you get playafoot.

[brightpearl]

You know, maybe another little dive would do the trick.

wait for it, wait for it...

breathing room ahead. keep turning the pages.

aah.

[lukkucairi]

rule#1: it doesn't matter how you feel, as long as you don't feel bad about it.

rule #2: bad thoughts are like bad gas - you can't keep them secret - may as well admit them and face what's bugging you.

[lukkucairi]

2700m of fiber optic filament makes EVERYTHING better

aren't you glad you're so fickle? :p

[brightpearl]

Maybe you could just be brave a little bit and see how it goes.

[brightpearl]

Good and evil have no self-nature.
Holy and unholy are empty names.
In front of the door is the land of stillness and light.
Spring comes, the grass grows by itself.


PS That bravery thing might be a little overrated.

On second thought, nah.

[lukkucairi]

no-one's going to drag you up to get into the light where you belong
(but where do you belong?)

...ace of base is my constant ohrwurm - I appear to be trying to tell myself something :p

[Frieda]

[lukkucairi]

[brightpearl]

Learn to keep your mouth shut.

[lukkucairi]

[Brynn]

Sarcasm and irony just go over their heads. Just tell them it's a big hot mess and get on with it.

[Jack Flanders]

GAH!!! Just stop!!!

[brightpearl]

It's no use worrying.

What a shitty day! But sometimes shit is just shit. And showers are good.

[Klynne]

I am so sick of coughing. My Dr. thinks I may have whooping cough. What the hell is that? It feels as if I am the giant, and tiny people are poking me in the ribs with swords. Gulliver's Travels anyone?
