Welcome to Eris' House of Meat! How may I help you?
"One personal human tragedy, please."
What? You again? What are you doing back here so soon?
"I don't have to tell you. I just need my order."
Why are you so desperate for this? Have you been drinking cheap red wine again?
"Well, yes. What does that have to do with anything?"
Look. We have cheerfully given you everything you asked for. Intelligence, an education, creativity, curiosity — Hell, Eris Herself re-designed your face after that car crash. We gave you desire, a touch of mysticism, we even gave you a glimpse of what love could be like. Then, a couple of years ago, you wandered in here, looking like a little puppy, and said you wanted your life to be Interesting.
"I never said that."
Bullshit you didn't. I got your ticket right here, buddy: 'My life is getting pretty boring, what can you do about it?' That is your signature, isn't it?
"Well, yeah, but — "
Well yeah, nothing! We pointed you to the door, we gave you the map, we even gave you the keys to the building! You can't lay the blame at our feet because you're too much of wimp to walk out of there.
"I wasn't looking to lay blame."
The hell you weren't. Your tragedy is your own, buddy. We're all sold out. You can't come in here, looking to escape your problems by blaming a mythic anthropomorphic personification of chaos. Even if She is cute. Hush. Let me finish. Yes, you are trying to escape your personal Drama, the one you created, the one you live in, the one you feel is so unfair. See, we've been watching you. We see how you long for change, but constantly fall short. Always looking for handouts, aren't you? You plead & whine about how unfair the situation you're in is, and then you wait around until someone reaches down & drags you out of there. And still you drag your feet!
"Hey, now, wait a minute — "
Shut up! How many times, in how many ways, do we have to tell you to get the fuck out of your pigsty of personal bullshit & fuckin LIVE YOUR GODDAMN LIFE already? If you recall, we even buckled under and sent three messengers, and we got word this morning that you tried throwing the third one away already. Already! Not even a week after we gave her the order! Eris must really care about you. Anyone else who tried pulling this crap on Her would have gotten an anvil dropped on their head years ago. So just turn around, and walk on out of here, buddy. Your money ain't no good here.
"So you're not gonna help me?"
Help you? We don't help people. We never have. Here at Eris' House of Meat, we give the domesticated apes what they think they need to survive & move on. We're not here to make things easy. Does no one ever read the fine print? You got what you asked for, and we gave you what you need. Now stop shooting yourself in the foot, & go & make things right. And try to have some fun while you're at it.
"Fine. Thanks for nothing."
Fuck you. And lay off the cheap wine, already.
moral of the story: do NEVER drink cheap wine.

Funny, I thought the moral of the story was:
Never ask Eris, Goddess of Chaos and Discord, to make your life more interesting. And most especially don't ask her 3 times :shock:
well, you were wrong. Never drinking cheap wine is ultimately FAR more important and relevant than anything to do with some imaginary greek chick who likes to cause trouble.

Third times the charm Buddy, you better start paying attention to the Messengers! Goddess only knows what Eris will send next time instead...
She's only imaginary until she shows up with a big fat pile of disorder with your name on it, buddy.

I'm still waiting...

Bump. OP needs to have the formatting fixed.
It's weird when you forget the things you've written.

You're telling me? :lulz:
I like this a lot...
Reformatted. I can't for the life of me remember what I was so upset about that day.

Missed a spot.
You have a keen eye, sir.
Somehow, I don't think I ever read this... even though it was posted around the time I joined the board. I like a lot.
Very nice, LMNO. :) I liked that a lot.
I was much more erudite in 2005.
