    I lost the game.
    I knew I would so why does it feel so bad?
    Maybe because I thought I wouldn't lose it so badly.
    I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.

    COMMENT FOR CLASSIC CHARM
    Oh dear…you really have a problem. If you are renting, I would suggest you move as I am afraid to say that people are who they are and you cant change them. If it it your own home, then maybe sound proofing would probably save your sanity.
    It is a sad fact of life that respect for self and others is no longer evident in these so-called ‘modern times’ so maybe the only thing we can do is to practice it ourselves in the hope that it can be contagious.
    Hope you find a solution to your woes.

    I will place this here, as I am sounding off on yet another issue (and when am I not when my brain is actually focused on something literary?); it is actually quite commonplace, and I've done it myself, but one of my old college roommates contacted me, and I am not sure why, and I am not 100% positive whether she was the loose one who was a little off (though I think so) or the one who did crack before she moved out. I was not particularly easy to live with, for obvious reasons that the regulars do not need to keep reading .

    I wasn't going to post about it, but she is writing to me now, and I am just not sure what to do with it. Whichever one she is, I felt no particular attachment to her. I am sort of drawing blanks even though this came out of the blue and actually always happens to me. Everyone remembers me. Why I don't know, but those who mattered open old wounds, and those who occurred in passing, well.

    The problem is, if I can place her I don't think I liked her, and there is over 20 years between that inconsequential sentiment and who we are as people today... (grrr) I suppose I sound unkind, but I mean I both get it and I don't. She was curious to see if she found me, and that is cool, but I'd sort of rather leave it there.

    I found her on Facebook. Good God, and I'm posting about this in a community with over 60,000 account holders, but I guess the web still has the ability to throw me a few curves. Jeez.

    The people here just sit and tap their legs to live rock music here. It pisses me off! What about the rock and the flailing of limbs, the wild sweat pouring drunken flail of not caring?

    Man, The GCSE demon has me down, will I ever achieve anything with my life?
    What will I do if my plans for the future are shattered?
    Why should I care if they are?
    You only get one life, but people have done worse things with theirs than you will ever do with yours.
    Ambition and Doubt are battling in my head.
