Lots of stuff

[mbarrick]

Still in my PJs at noon with Tharsis on the monitor.

Let's start with todays comic from the collection. Mmmm... coffee.

At the moment I'm still waiting to hear from HSBC. This is getting annoying. I want news, damnit! I'm sick of being broke. Although there are definitely things I will miss about working at home, the spastic income won't be one of them.

Last night was Evilyn's birthday. I was supposed to go to Myr's party and then meet Evilyn for cake. Well I ended up getting over ambitious with the drawing I was doing for her birthday and it ended up taking a couple more hours than I planned. I ended up skipping dinner and missing Myr's party in order to get to Death by Chocolate on time. So I ended up having cake for dinner. Not bad in itself, but following that up with drinking wasn't the most brilliant thing I have done lately.

The drawing in its frame

After cake and coffee it was off to Sanctuary for more fun. And it was fun for the most part. A whole bunch of Evilyn's friend's came out and the place seemed much more crowded than usual. Other than the unfortunate side-effect of the line at the bar being a bit long, having a good crowd is definitely a good thing. But things went a little sour at the end. This guy I am acquainted with, John, seems to have discovered drugs recently and has been seriously overdoing it. Last night he was on GHB and overdosed. Seems he split his face open when the convulsions stared and night came to a grinding halt as he bled all over the dancefloor and the paramedics were called in. Bloody idiot, in every sense of the phrase.

My sympathy is severely limited for this kind of irresponsibility. And I feel justified in my distain by the fact I have done equally stupid things (as the scar on my forehead will attest, although that was aquired through good, old-fashioned alcohol consumption and I wasn't so lame as to get the whole club shut down and wreck everyone else's fun). I'm just embarrased that I was actually over at this guy's home last week. I'm embarrassed by the association. I'm tired of mentally unstable, irresponsible idiots.

Not that I have ever been terribly tolerant of stupid people. I left Duncan to get away from this kind of idiocy. I stopped hanging around with people like Ken (the person who was feeding me drinks the night I split my head open) for the same reason. I've done my experimenting, learned my lessons, and I just don't want to be around people who still haven't grown up, or even worse, won't grow up.
