I'm married, too, but besides my husband I'm alone because... well hell. We moved here because of my husband's job. I don't see him a lot because of his schedule although that's improving so it helps. I haven't been able to connect with people here, unless I want to be phony and basically...

When life gets too depressing, I turn to Nancy Drew...

It's something I don't really believe should be true about myself, but I keep being made to feel I'm a loser by my in-laws, the people where I live, some former "friends", business people, etc. And now because of changes in my appearance, I feel it from people just out in public (it's a shallow...

Omg, sorry for the mix-up re: Germany versus living in SD and learning German, I have a hard time sometimes on boards with reading too quickly. Sorry. But wouldn't it be great to go sometime and be around family while practicing the language you're learning! I've had some trouble finding the...

Silver Linings Playbook All 8 Oscar nominations were deserved. http://silverliningsplaybookmovie.com/

AC/DC! Nice. :) I'm musically omnivorous. The Clash, obviously (hence my username). Right now I'm coming out of my Xmas music sugar coma and listening to a lot of Talking Heads... and opera.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm a nervous wreck when it comes to negotiating or even asking for something for myself. It has a lot to do with my self-confidence, but also with my upbringing (sticking up for myself = bad). Anyway, I came across this article today and even though it's pretty...

Hi Sigma, Welcome! Holland is so beautiful (including the drunk farmers - ha ha). There's a section here where people share their artistic endeavors so maybe you'll let us see your drawings sometime. Hope to see you around the forum.

Welcome! I think it's great that you're making so many efforts with hobbies, but I do know exactly what you mean about not being motivated to go out so much when you're doing it alone. I have the same issue. And I'm sorry about the crying (even if it meant a free dessert). I'm glad the cats are...

Hi Skid Row, Welcome! That's great that you play guitar. What are some of your favourite bands?

Hi guys, I came here briefly last year and then dropped off - here I am again! Female, married, living in Cali. Everyone is so self-righteous/self-centered/phony and I'm desperate to move back east. No friends out here. Family is a mess. Problems with doctors. Jeez. I'm a joy. :rolleyes...

Technically this is about a drug trip, but it reminds me of those great, open days when you can just let go.... Makes me smile every time. [video=youtube]

With a bit of tweaking this could work as lyrics. I like it!

Nothing Is True - Jim Carroll Band You get nothin' back for all you've saved Just eternity in a spacious grave She said, "Nothing is true, everything is permitted" Things just go from bad to worse Starts like a kiss and ends like a curse But nothing's true, she said everything is permitted...

Dead Ringer "For Baby Jane people!" :D

Lawyers, lawyers, lawyers....

JMO, but I'd hold up on the "she shouldn't be too busy" assumption about Saturday. You don't know what else she has going on. I think the hard thing to keep reminding yourself might be that while she instantly became a major part of your emotional world, the same may not be true for her. You're...

I wouldn't say never ever, but definitely agree not to trust 100% until they've proven to be trustworthy. Trust is like respect - it has to be earned. Oh dear. :( Don't know what to say to this because I don't know the circumstances, but sending you a hug. I'd say nothing will be good enough...

I don't worry about being creepy, but a weirdo, if that makes sense. I'm very open and outgoing when it comes to general interactions, and where I come from it's normal (and considered a good trait) to smile and say hello, make a bit of small talk when out and about, and not take oneself too...

Hi Weretiger, I'm sorry to hear about all you've gone through. Sending you a hug. You say that now you're afraid to trust. All I can offer is my own personal experience. I was totally betrayed by someone i thought intended to marry me. I was betrayed romantically, financially, and to make it...
