How exciting is your life?

[Ellen Forradalom]

Today I went out to brunch with my family. Later I went to hear a speech by Dick Durbin on church/state issues (see my writeup at http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=765958). I walked back home through the rain and watched the National Scrabble Championships on ESPN2 while crocheting a shopping bag for my mother. I watched a little more TV (Inside the Actor's Studio with Mike Myers) with my son, had dinner with the family, plunked him in his bath, read him a story at bedtime, and I've been crocheting and reading DU ever since. Is my life too exciting or what?????

1. I wake up.

I read DU. I go to work. I come home. I read DU. I go to bed.

Occasionally, oral sex is in there somewhere.

I'm depressed, defeated, and very, very lonely, partner or no.

*I* go to my 'friends'; they rarely come to me. It's been that way since elementary school.

I have no contact with what remains of my family, which lives twenty miles away. My own mom has been in my home exactly five times in the past nine years. My sister hasn't been in my home- apartment- in about five years or so.

Can we say 'abandonment issues'? I just knew you could.

2. the only thing remotely exciting about my life

would be my erratic sleeping patterns. the rest of it is pretty uneventful. today I woke up at 4AM and then I played Risk II on my computer till about noon. then I smoked a cigarette. I perused DU for couple of hours as respite. played Risk some more. a beautiful woman doesn't excite me these days, and while there's something very compelling about the idea of playing with myself, I'm past that age I guess. it's not that I feel low; the world around me just seems incredibly high, you know? especially on days during which I have classes.

3. One of my dogs

had a seizure and the other dog attacked her during it 2 weeks ago. They were outside so I didn't hear it at first. Now she has a hole in her 7 inches long and 4 inches wide and an inch deep. I guess that was exciting. Oh and 2 days before that the engine blew on my truck but I managed to get it to the mechanic - he said it 5 more minutes and it would have seized. A tractor trailer bumped into me on the highway a month ago - ripped my passenger side mirror off. I had about a dozen bear encounters this summer. I was evacuated because of a forest fire in August. Came back before it was over. National guard patrolling, helicopters constantly overhead.

I guess it's been relatively exciting. You know though, boring is not too bad... didn't someone say an adventure is something that sounds great, but when you are experiencing it you just wish you were home in bed....

4. Depends on what you mean by 'exciting'

If worrying about money, getting my next job, and what to do with my future -- all while lurching from minor crisis to minor crisis -- is your idea of 'exciting,' then I have a very exciting life indeed. Otherwise, heh.

5. Depends...

The exciting consists of going from one "minor" crisis to another, like car troubles, neighbor problems, feuding with and losing the last of my friends and extended family. :-( Then the rest of it is as boring as hell, get up, get dressed, spend the day doing mindless crap, have dinner, watch mindless TV then go to bed and begin the whole cycle over again. :crazy: Comparing the "exciting" with the boring, I prefer the boring :boring:, it doesn't hurt as much. ;(

6. Heh. "Exciting."

As long as "exciting" is a synonym for "bizarre," it's quite exciting indeed!
