so i took my father around a bottle of scotch. It's always a bit strange going round there. It's depressing because he's depressed, but it's also good, because he's so much more fucked up than me i don't feel so bad about my own mental state


he shares a house with a lesbian that i mentioned. well now they're talking about going camping or something. WTF? The lesbian makes a watery coffee but I'm not that fussy so it's okay.

he can't live in his own house because he's seperated from wife #3, but she's still living in the house, like months later. So he pays the rent, she still gets a share of a pension because he's on an army pension for PTSD.

I said he should kick her the fuck out. like, give her a month to find a place. I said i'll even go around and tell her. The lesbian thought this was a good idea.

The other thing is his ex is now telling everyone he's an alcoholic. It's not technically true, but he does drink a lot.

There's other stuff happening too that i don't really want to tell you about. I crashed so hard yesterday. It's good to get it out of the way on the weekend i guess. There's a sinking feeling in my stomach like something's wrong but nothing's wrong except for that feeling. I have no desire to write anything. Ever again.

Is writing a diary good or bad, like, does it just make you dwell on things and make it worse, or does it force you to think about things? I don't think it solves anything really. You can still pull the wool over your own eyes.

What I used to have was a handful of lies, but along the way they became interconnected, and that's how i came to manage a web of lies. The centre of the web is me, which is hardly surprising is it? For every lie i tell someone, i tell myself ten, give or take.

As in, like, "fleece" yourself?



it can't be that bad, by frijolito (2.00 / 0) #2 Sun Sep 03, 2006 at 04:22:42 AM EST
if it forces you to think about things. i think.

i can tell you this: after my last diary, i've been having crying fits every so often. i'm afraid to take showers, because that always brings about the waterworks.

i was kinda thinking that was good. after hearing what you said, i'm not that sure anymore.

but people always say that getting shit out of your system is good, so there you go. i think they may have  a point.

but fuck the ex for spreading rumours around. she doesn't deserve to live in a place that's being paid by the person she's badmouthing. fuck that, really.




I have trouble making sense of stuff... by toxicfur (2.00 / 0) #3 Sun Sep 03, 2006 at 07:11:34 AM EST
unless I put it into words. Sometimes, that can be talking to a close friend; more often, it's writing it down. I don't post everything I write down, but there's something comforting about knowing my words aren't hidden away where I'll never look at them again.

So my $0.02 - writing is good. YMMV.

Good or bad, by blixco (2.00 / 0) #4 Sun Sep 03, 2006 at 11:56:22 AM EST
I end up with it all in my head rattling around if I don't put it on paper...or the screen, or whatever.

It's not good or bad.  It's just a method.

I hope things pick up for you.

I agree with toxicfur by Kellnerin (2.00 / 0) #5 Sun Sep 03, 2006 at 12:05:23 PM EST
I think writing helps sort through things in your head, even if it's just to look at something and decide what you want to say about it, whether you want to say anything about it at all.

I also think sharing what you write with someone else can be helpful too, in a sense of having someone bear witness to what is going on with/in you, even if that someone is actually just your own self, the next day, or year, or decade.

Are good for crashing. Plummeting right through the floor and not stopping for the cold embrace of a basement floor.

Lies are like fire - used properly, they can help things along - overused and you find yourself the master of a heap of ash.
