I've got no lust for life lately. Got any ideas for pick-me-ups?

I started helping Alex on her production of Twelfth Night last weekend. I'll be the assistant whatever and maybe set designer/stage manager or whatever is needed. I haven't done a theatrical production in years and am really excited.
Since you perform on a regular basis, maybe you find something where you work with spreadsheets and write a weekly status report.

Ehh, I don't really perfom any more. There was a period of time that ended about ten months ago when I didn't do anything except lay in bed (or on the floor) for about two years and make very short trips to the L.E.S., and I'm sad to say that I never fully regained the physical prowess I pocessed beforehand.

that's too bad, about the performing and the laying in bed. I think we've only met once or twice in passing so I don't know you well enough to know what you'd really like. But off the top of my head: go see live music, listen to the Beatles, listen to Bob Marley's Exodus (but don't smoke pot), go to a museum and see your favorite works of art, do stupid touristy stuff, etc. And a road trip if you have the means (car that won't die, gas money, food money and people all across the country to stay with) and the time. Now that I think about it, Kit knows someone who will pay to have their car driven to LA and (I assume) fly you back.

It's kind of wierd how you put a self destructive part of your life behind you, thinking that it will be for the better, and you just hit a low where nothing seems fun anymore.
You've just got to find a new outlet, sport, reading, writing, cooking, music, whatever. Anything that points you in a direction of a goal and sends you like a fucking freight train toward it.
I'm lucky in that i stumbled into something i actually love doing (which is wierd because I'm in the fucking armed forces).

I tend to use "dyke" as an all-encompassing term for girls who aren't heterosexual. I think we've ("...I... the royal we") found a guitarist, who's very pretty- it's most definitely not going to be a butch's club. I don't even really consider myself a butch, just extraordinarily handsome.
D'you play an instrument?

I recommend a torrid affair. Plenty of victims around these parts...

LastofthePirates: Yeah, it's a weird and frustrating place to find one's self in. And I'm sorry I kind of stood you up that time. I had just gotten clean and was still in a really bad headspace and dropping off the map a lot.
Taylor: Tried all that. Was fun for like two minutes and then ruined my life for a couple years. Thanks, though.
Nicola: Sounds like fun except sadly I am not musically gifted. Backup dancer maybe?
Rat: Do orgies count?
Which leads me to my next question, anyone wanna have an orgy?

Golf Swing from the Inside
Alternatively you should employ your bump and fall approach to begin swing with discount golf clubs It really is a couple of movements which are performing simultaneously. The first proceed will be the ball.

Nah, while they are fun, they don't bring the emotional chaos needed to change your state of mind.
Although I'd assume they are a good for meeting that next torrid affair victim...

seriously though, PinstripeRat, what you need is something you are proud of.. an accomplishment, or even something to do that makes you feel as if you are not wasting your opportunity to feel and experience.
...But the thing is, most people don't figure this out. Most people tend to distract themselves from one thing to another, from high school, (to college, if it's luckily paid for), to job, to career, to marrage... It's all a distraction to the main source in our backwards world... I don't know what it is, maybe it's a lack of everything.. complete apathy. complete numbness.
but people like you (people who clearly see that what people value in our society and "culture" is complete bullshit) tend to go through such emptiness, and struggle to even want to live. I, one who struggles with a similar depression everyday, almost feels as if ignorance is indeed bliss. But maybe this is just a painful process that grinds and polishes the wonderful essence that makes up who we are. It sucks... but you do have a mind, and there is much more to it then what you may think..
except i don't know you, and i hope I'm not one of those annoying people on the internet, preaching.. claiming to know anything.. cause I don't.. but i acknowledge that the only way to live life the right way is by enjoyment and productivity, and not by distraction and waiting to die (for thats like watching paint dry, and there is no point to that)
I don't know what my point is.. maybe more words on the struggle of life will inspire more tudes to talk..

Actually, in my experience, they're mostly weird and awkward. Two people end up fucking quietly in the corner, some people make out, someone crosses some imaginary boundary and a bunch of people end up pissed and someone probably cries in the bathroom.
Any more than four or five and things just get out of hand...

Were you forgetting the cretic wine and Bacchic rituals? I hear those really help.

Okay, we need some things...
1. A big open field
2. Lots of intoxicating substances with an emphasis on good wine
3. At least a dozen nude, inhibition-free participants
4. ? ? ? ?
