lies the man who wanted to be buried alone - and the eye of exile is a fond gaze - a stone insect stands - where the streets converge - its shade cast on pale park bench in a blue lit scene - sawn from the road - if i aint' the beetle on the stove

Anybody here who is single, try this experiment. Don't call, text, email, tweet, or facebook any friends or family and see how long it takes any of them to contact you.

Anyway , this is nothing on that film, Dreams of a Life, last year about the girl in England who sat dead on the couch for three years surrounded by Xmas presents for other people.

I know that house. My old man used to point it out to me any time we were in Wexford.

The sad thing for me is that this is someone that is not missed by a soul for three months but still goes to all the effort of putting up a tree and decorations.
He looked forward to it, picked the day, made decisions on what should go where.
Maybe had a nice cup of tea as a reward afterwards.
All that for no one but him.

I did that this year.
I'm going to choke on my dinner for one or slip in the shower and no one will know for weeks.
I really need to give my spare key to someone.

 

[Jill Hives]

they dont.

Truth. I did it for a week.
Not showing up for work will be the only tip off.

I recall whinging on here that I had put up decorations early december and took them down again on new years day without one other person having seen them. I can't remember whether it was in the christmas thread or in the whinging thread.

If I died on my floor I think I'd be noticed within a week.

At the moment. I expect that duration to lengthen as the years pass by.

Yeah this thread is making me think I should take down my christmas tree.

Sure ye'd only be taking it down and putting it back up again

I found out that last week that a girl I used talk to lots on the Morrissey solo chat in the late 1990s died a few months back. Alone in her California apartment, few days went by before anyone noticed etc. Some sort of seizure. Shit buzz anyway.

 

[GO]

That sucks.God(or who/whatever) love her.

 

[rettucs]

this thread should be merged with the Low thread

 

[Reets]

The man was described as elderly, is 62 elderly though?
I'm 30 this year, I dont want to be middle aged already.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

I would have put elderly as being after retirement age.

It's probably a relative term though, like youthful.

I was watching "My So-Called Life" over the weekend. A teenage show that came out when I was 18 in the early 90s. The parents in it were complaining about being 40. Then I realized, fuck me... I'll be 37 in two weeks. How does this shit happen? I was still relating more to the drama filled 15 year old when I could actually have a kid in university right now. That's depressing and slightly terrifying.

In Egypt they found the body of a young man surrounded by objects he clearly valued. He was alone, surrounded by cats, in a large uninhabited building. He wasn't found for thousands of years. And the most embarrassing aspect of it all was he was dressed in bondage gear.
Sad story.

Hey, look on the bright side - you don't have a kid in university right now!
