More like it's working on me, but yeah.

I'm worse than I've ever been these days, and "worse than I've ever been" when housed and with enough money to eat and smoke cigarettes by my standards is fucking abysmal.

Yikes. I'm sorry to hear that. You still have basic needs not met though? Feel free to send me a message.

So ... the photo series. The only outlet I have that is ... safe, for some values of safe.

Then thank you so much for sharing.

I don't expect the parts which are hurting to start healing until they feel they are understood and accepted.

I'm fine for now. I think I've burned a lot of bridges and lost most of my friends for good because I'm not whole and healthy right now, but I'm alive. I don't "need" anything, not really anyway.

I have passing desires, but they're expensive and pointless. They'd be nothing more than a golden bandaid over a festering gut wound. I'm fine. I appreciate it though.

As for sharing, well. I don't feel any special attachment to them. I just thought those two showed my face well in unusual lighting and angles. The others either don't show my face at all or aren't stuff to share with just anyone, for that person's sake more than my own. One, the new part 6, is both.
"I am that worst of all type of criminal...I cannot bring myself to do what you tell me, because you told me."

There's over 100 of us in this meat-suit. You'd think it runs like a ship, but it's more like a hundred and ten angry ghosts having an old-school QuakeWorld tournament, three people desperately trying to make sure the gamers don't go hungry or soil themselves, and the Facilities manager weeping in the corner as the garbage piles high.

Relatable feels. Sometimes it's true, sometimes it's not, and I have been pleasantly undeservedly surprised in the past, but carrying the "maybe" over time gets heavy.

Yay!

Now i'm curious, but I don't have anything similar yet to offer in return.

Thanks for reminding me that the purpose of this thread is to show my face :)

unstable tinderbox of prime downtown Hamilton real estate

but when i posted it to facebook last year, all i got were care reacts :evilmad:

I lived in Hamilton for 3 years, and I can say with authority that there is no prime real estate anywhere near the city.

I wish my landlord of the last year had that confidence, instead of the confidence to say she'd double the rent in order to add me to the lease officially.

also - the view out my front door every time it rains  :lulz:

Weird looks beat care reacts.

care reacts seem to exist for when you don't "love" that someone is going through something, but you don't care enough/are unable to support beyond acknowledgement. i suppose it fills the "thoughts and prayers" gap for those who would never say those words directly?

i'm used to weird looks whenever i'm just walking down the street wearing whatever i want, but that day i was fully winterised - feeling warm, protected and anonymous - as soon as i put my glasses on, i forget they are there for the most part.

That sounds about right.

I have gotten both Fat and Hot As Fuck, and I drive all the transbians and lesboys wild now. Also, I have the coolest pendant ever (because I'm a huge edgy nerd and I love Quake 1).
