Relationships - what is the point? (1 Viewer)

[Corey]

People should keep their relationships to themselves.

Hear, Hear.

I do this regularly.

Anyone come up with anything for this yet? What is the equivalent?

Lovely Friends with Hands?

I'm hittin 8/9 months, quite a ways to go yet. I'd say another 18 months before i start to feel the pinch.

Stay strong fella, a big land mark is when you stop bothering to wash anymore and then food stops tasting of anything but dry ashes... from then on it's a short hop to sporadic bursting into tears and sitting up at the bar in Grogans all by yourself

i've been wondering a bit why we don't commit to friendships at all, let alone in the same way as sexy relationships - in the sense of priorities and considering them in making big decisions, or conflict resolution, or breaking up. i think it's harder to replace friends (dear friends, STOP LEAVING THE COUNTRY, xoxo lisa) than to get into a relationship, probably because of the lust factor/sexual intimacy creating a general sense of intimacy.

Ay
For a few years after I came back to Ireland after having been away for a few years, most of my friends lived in Dublin and we all saw each other regularly and it was real nice ... and then everyone started moving away, and it's bloddy hard to keep in touch with people anymore. WHY DID WE DO IT? It's kind of mad.

Actually, I've been dreaming of scrabble. And when I see the text in e-mails, documents etc, I catch myself jiggling the letters of the words around to form other words.

I know. All these married people, strewn about various suburbs in the sticks, miles from anything interesting, miserable, inviting their old buddies over once a year for some pate on crackers and warm beer, discussing how much their new deck cost. Which is all wet and unused. Because it's Ireland.

is it any worse then pissing off to France?

I think not

... and being unable to have a proper conversation cos the kids are making so much NOISE

Yes. Foie gras is officially not pate.

Personally I think that's the only saving grace of these situations!

I read Beautiful Losers by Leonard Cohen, The Heart is Decitful Above All Things and Kafka's the Trail, so I learned the world is a cruel and uncaring place where horrible things happen to people who don't deserve it so you're better off shutting yourself off from it before it breaks you altogether/quote]

THE BIT WITH THE DILDO JUMPING OUT THE WINDOW IS HYSTERICAL. AS IS THE CAR CRASH WANK. I FOUND THE WHOLE BOOK CRAZY..BUT GOOD. LIKE LIFE AND FRIENDS AND ALL THE OTHER CRAPOLA THAT'S BEEN MENTIONED ON THIS MEANDERING THREAD. IT FREAKED OUT A COUPLE OF FRIENDS AND ANOTHER ONE COULDN'T EVEN GET HALFWAY THROUGH IT. ALSO, IT'S A BOOK WRITTEN BY LEONARD COHEN. THE MAD BASTARD.

NEVERTHELESS... WHAT'S THE POINT OF ANYTHING?

get over it panty. the thing i love about grogans is that there's a great happy atmosphere but you're guaranteed there's always going to be someone more miserable than you in there somewhere. so you're always a winner!
