You have an open invite here in Colorado.

Do you like roller hockey or nerd chess?

I don't like roller hockey OR nerd chess. Or Colorado. Or open invites. Or Post subject: Or Joined: 27 Apr 2002. Or <td class="spaceRow" colspan="2" height="1">.

I don't like anything about that message you just wrote.

You are making a mockery of the second day of Sobriety 2K5.

You wanna come visit in St. Louis? You can stay here as long as you want, as long as you act as my Designated Driver.

The gym I'm in also has volleyball leagues. Wouldn't you like to play volleyball? I can make it so that we are nowhere near each other on the team.

Wait, what am I thinking? How can FUN, [The] CHESS, SPORTS and BROADS compare to the soul-numbing drain you're currently circling?

Alright, what weekend shall I come out there and put the REAM in ICE CREAM JONSEY?

The Sob, actually. Which reminds me. I just acquired a red Saab 900 convertible.
Ben, you're always welcome to swing by for a spell of wine, depression, golf, and Sandra Oh.

Hey Ben, you're welcome to meet me after my workout for some drinks. I'll be there this time, I promise.

Congratulations! Let me know if you'd like a CAR FAX on it!

I am personally looking forward to plugging in my brother's old Explorer and see if they caught up to the fact that he left the heap abandoned next to the Poudre River. Here's hoping!

Which behavior modification is it when you want a rat to not do something, so you give it lots and lots of pain everytime it does something, so it never wants to do it again?

Here's to negative conditioning doing what moral fiber and the threat of certain death could not do!

(Laid in bed for 36 hours crying after most recent back spasms because I just HAD to go sit out on the hard chair and have that cigarette with that glass of wine. The third time it happened in 2 weeks. I also seem to have developed an aversion to picking up anything box-like and/or heavy in nature.)

I tried sniffing some wine tonight and walking by a person smoking, and I almost puked. Go psychological conditioning!!

Well, quitting drinking has caused this thread to ooze into existence, and it has been nothing but a negative experience.

I'd sell my cyan for a bottle of Scotch.

See? That post had me running to the bathroom to retch. Good job.

Don't be so hard on yourself.....ANY thread of yours is a negative experience.

If I spent my hard earned ducketts on RENO FUGGIN 9 1 1, then I'd probably feel worthless and just wish I could go to sleep all the time too.
