h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Sometimes it's hard to put into words how one feels; language does not adequately express what is going on in one's head. Lately, I've been feeling....restless. Bored. Nervous. Anticipatory.

I think the trigger for this is an upcoming reunion with past and current members of a large club I was in during college. I'm not usually a person who is concerned about his appearance, but I've caught myself examining myself in the mirror more, worrying about my waistline, wondering what I should wear, etc. I guess what makes me nervous is that I'll be seeing my most recent ex-girlfriend there, as well as a somewhat neurotic girl who I tried to start a relationship with.

Also, there is a girl who I knew all through college who I've been seeing lately. Problem is, although she says that she wants to talk to and spend time with me, whenever I get to asking, "When can we hang out next?" she says she's too busy. I've learned in my many unsuccessful years of dating that "too busy" really means "too busy FOR YOU."

I don't really have any hobbies or distractions to take myself away from these feelings, either. I'm caught up at work, so I really don't have much to occupy me at the moment. I don't do much when I'm at home; mostly I just play computer games. I don't go out much because there's not really any night life in the town I'm in.

End result? Me, sitting at work, surfing the internet and wondering how I'm going to deal with another Friday night by myself.

Ahem. Which year is it Wampus?

What's wrong with sitting home on your own on a Friday night? Perhaps you need to work on yourself before you get involved with anyone else? That way you avoid the neurotics!! Although, there is nowt wrong with us...better than being psychotic! Stop stressing about your place in society.



And that is my shoddy advice for the day...

Oops. I did the year mistake on a construction drawing, too.

Nothing with sitting at home on a Friday night. It's when I have no other viable choice than to do that then it becomes a problem.

What *are* you talking about? I have no employment/money, but I have plenty to do! Read, take a walk, write, watch TV...LOADS! No creativity, that's yer problem.

Although, I can sympathise. It's more of a psychological slump than a exterior onee...

Exactly. I'm frustrated because I'm sure there are places to go and things to do around where I am, but mentally I think that I won't have fun at any of them. Thus, why waste the time and money?

It's my own stupid fault, and for whatever reason I won't let myself do anything about it.
