Where did it all go right.
This is why I'm called Pill Popper

August 1998

I meet two girls in a pub both called Jackie. They inform me that although this pub is ok they know of a better place to go. After some gentle coaxing and reassurance (not much needed) they convince me to go with me to a club that is not quite my usual. We make our way to a part of town I don't normally associate with a night out, I never knew this was a club. I wonder if it's a good idea as it does look a bit rough, I decide to go in anyway and see what sort of company they keep. As we walk in they're greeted by unusual grunts, insults, hugs and kisses. We eventually make our way up to the bar. I order some drinks and walk over to a table, around the table are some freakish looking people that they call friends. As I nervously sit down and realise they may be staring at me. I look around, The music is very loud, The club dark and a little intimidating I think after another half an hour I may have acquired some unwanted tattoos and multiple piercings. Now I'm thinking of finding the loo and climbing out of the window, When I get there I realise to my horror there isn't a window........ should I stay? should I go? These people seem mostly ok. A bit wierd but ok. I decide to give it a chance, Everybody is friendly I make some friends quite quickly. I notice Jackie taking something, asking politely I am told "Disco biscuits" and realise what they mean, I always wondered what they were like. My new friends say try half "only if you feel relaxed and at ease with us. Half an hour later I realise they are all wonderful, and I am the best dancer in the world. Everybody makes sure I'm OK, I stay and have an awesome night having weird conversations, talking codshit to strangers. I watch everybody get happy and dancing like nobody is watching.

A big Thank you to the two Jackies.

November 1991
I clipped Dr Skagra. He was young and painfully stupid.

The moaning suicidal cunt hasn't shut up about it ever since. I text him every now and then pretending there's a new Fall album coming out, and he shuts up for a bit - but never for long. Why won't he just kill himself?

opening the door
to an old friend, who begged me to let her in as her recently-dumped boyfriend was threatening to beat her up.
i really should have known better.
i took her in, fed her, clothed her and gave her a shoulder to cry on. i offered to go to the police with her to see about pressing charges against her ex, but she said she'd rather just let it go. it wasn't long before i found out why.
word quickly got back to me that he'd been the dumper, not her. he'd caught her maxing out his credit cards and, when he confronted her, she'd thrown a massive wobbly and trashed his house. realising what a nutbar she was, he kicked her out. she'd gone to the police and reported him for assault, of which she had not a shred of evidence. seems she was well-known to the police for making accusations against boyfriends, so how she wasn't arrested for wasting police time, i don't know.
now, being an old school friend, i didn't want to believe she was capable of such utter nasty fuckwittery, so i grudgingly gave her the benefit of the doubt.
i finally saw the light when she got pissed and tried to talk me into setting fire to his house, just to get back at him. yes, she was willing to torch his home, with him possibly still inside, just for petty revenge. i asked her to leave my house immediately and gave the police a call. last i heard, she was under psychiatric evaluation for bipolar disorder or somesuch. just as long as she keeps well the fuck away from me.
bitch be crazy.

When I read this question, I thought I was happy and couldn't think of anything to write.
And I am in a pretty regret-free situation. Life's going alright. Then I read a few bits of other people's answers and realised that I do have a problem.
It all started in 2004 when I moved from a sales environment to a marketing job. The blissful ignorance of life was shattered. I saw how shallow and money-driven EVERYTHING was. Where before I saw a fun talent show, I now saw a popularity contest with no winners other than those who took the money from the advertising breaks and so on.
This slide continued with subscriptions to Private Eye and the reading of Flat Earth News (among other things).
I am now a terminal cynic who hates most things, purely for the fact that most things are hateable and pointless drivel.
It was also in or around 2004-5 that I joined B3ta. Possibly there's a link...

November 1991
I got clopped.

I was young and stupid.

I see that as the beginning of my slide into feculent misanthropy, raging alcoholism, sexual deviancy, manic depression and persistent inability to face reality.

I would kill myself, except I'm too much of a coward. Also, the prospect of another Fall album, and a new series of Doctor Who, keeps me going. Yes I am that shallow. It's the only way to cope. Constant distraction.

Now for another pint (my 4th of the evening and by no means the last) before Charlie Brooker's Weekly Wipe.

Before anyone accuses me of wallowing in self-pity, I'm not. These are the facts; this is how I deal. On these terms, I am happy.
