Every Firework Makes Me Lonelier...

[Ian Haines]

No special message...

Every rocket, every banger and every local family's collective whoop of delight...every one of them makes my loneliness deeper and more difficult to figure a way out of.

Life is always elsewhere!

I am always peering at the lives of others, or listening to how much they enjoy those lives. Christmas will be even worse.

A bad night, for me - my self-pity is well past it's asleep-by time - I'm off to bed!

Ian.

Your not alone Ian, just came back from the supermarket (a pathetically lonely place at night) and as I walked through town I either saw gangs of people out for the night or families watching firework displays.

I’ve now got my micro-meal for one in the microwave and I’ll probably fall asleep on the sofa while watching some dumb television show like I do every other weekend.

Please don't take offense to this I honestly don't mean any but could the fact you feel the need to "spec" a "gaming rig" on your profiles be an indication of where our troubles lie? What I mean by that is the dedication and obsession that PC "gamers" tend to devote to their computers has always struck me as seriously unhealthy, its like you feel you have the ability to connect with a machine (which is silly) but you can not connect with a person unless its someone spouting geek speak on world of Warcraft or some such nonsense. There is also a very strong element of avoidance - avoiding reality. Maybe you feel gaming is your escape - but it is actually your problem?

Could any of that be fair? Or will you just take offense?

Go and watch V for Vendetta

New Years Eve is the worst for me.

Everybody else enjoying themselves while I'm stuck indoors. I usually go to bed well before midnight hoping I can sleep thru all the celebrations.

But hang in there, you never know what's around the corner. I went 4 years without going out and all of a sudden I have a social life. Of course it doesn't always go to plan like this woman I'm seeing screwing this other guy but you've got to develop a thick skin and just get on with it.

I just thank the lord this year my neighbours didn't have any. They set them off right at the end of their garden and its RIGHT under my window. Scary.

I concur, my thoughts exactly.

That's a whole bunch of nice replies.

Thanks, Members.

I was gonna do this, then I opened the box and realised I've lost the bloody DVD somewhere. Typical!

Anyway Ian, you're not missing out on much. I actually got invited to one this year but I didn't go - at the end of the day it's just standing around in the freezing cold with people you probably don't know at all, with explosions making conversation impossible.

It was always kind of magical as a kid (at least, I remember the hot dogs being good ), but now that I've got a bunch of work on my plate all the time I don't bother going.

Plus I'm already a bit deaf, don't fancy having a loud boom take out the rest of my hearing

Don't feel bad about it!

You lost the DVD ? That's a shame...
Well, you could always just go and try to blow up parliament for real
