Im sad, but not because of the holidays. Ive never celebrated christmas, or any similar holiday.

Im sad because, well, I was stupid enough to let myself fall in love again, with a friend (my best friend actually) and the last time this happened (with a different friend, who I had grown up with) we ended up on really bad terms, so Im pretty much scared to death right now.


But I wont get into that. There are far too many girl threads on this board, and Im not about to start my own.

You just gotta go with the flow. Tell him/her how you feel. If it really bothers them and they don't want to be friends because you told them, then they don't deserve to be your friend anyways.

I've had a friend that I "liked" and I told her upfront, and we are really close friends still. Not bed buddies or anything, just now we both feel we can confide in eachother things we won't tell anyone else.

Oh, and I'm still sad that I'm at work and there are no chicks to look at. It's a sausage party up here right now.

Christmass is to a lot of people a very sad time of year. The shortness of days is somewhat depressing just in itself. There are many old people in places that they really dont want to be and no relitives or friends to come and visit or to take them out just for a little ride around to look at the lights, some mothers and fathers that have somehow caused grief to there children that will not forgive or forget just for one day. There are a lot of young people that have had conflicts with there parents and no longer speak to each other but will not give in for even one day afraid that they might make someone else happy even for a moment.
If you are alone this day consider going to a retirement community and giving a little cheer to those that have nothing except a bed and 2 meals a day, it will make you realize how lucky you are to have your health and freedom to go and do what you want.
If this is not possible just get some cookies and put them in little bags and take them around the neighborhood and meet your neighbors they might be in the same situation that you are in. Having no money to share during this time of year is not the end of the world, just your being present will be enough for a lot of others that are also alone or almost alone.
Give the one thing most precious that cannot be replaced, give your time to someone in need and the feeling that you will get for doing this will be something that you will remember for a lifetime.

It is my wish that all here and everywhere has a very good holliday and look forward to better things ahead.

Its a little more complicated than that. For one, while I would love to be in a relationship with her, I dont want to do anything that would jeopardize our friendship. If we got into a relationship, and it took a turn for the worst, where would I be? She is the one who helped me through it the last time. I dont have anyone who could be there for me if I ruin this with her. Plus, right now, shes involved with another guy, and I like him, and I think they are good together.

I tought about telling her anyway, just to get it out of my system, but...well....these lyrics explain that better than I could:

I've nothing to lose
I've everything to gain
And I'm not abandoning
All fear
Isn't life too short for shyness?
The times I've talked myself into
Telling you, decided to
Then I see you
And just think I can't do this


I cant lose her, and Im afraid that if I tell her, that I will.

read the first two lines of your song.
You've got nothing to lose and everything to gain. Being close friends with someone is more than about a chance to screw. It's about being open and honest with them. And if you don't say something it will eat away at you.


....and Bleep, no matter what Skoorb says, you're a good person. ha. I thought about volunteeringat a retirement center, but I can't stand to see old bed ridden people that are left to die, That in itself is too depressing. Maybe next year I'll go to the hospital with some toys and pass them out to the kids there.

Yeah it's a sad time of the year. It gets worse as you get older. You remember the good times you had with your parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters....all the others. But they're all gone now, passed away or moved out of the state. If you have your own family, it's not so bad. But the best times were when you were young........

A little advise for all of you with gf/bf troubles; this is from personal experience and it's rather simple. The harder you try the harder you'll fail. Just sit back and relax, the good things will come to you when you least expect them. Don't let the failures of the past haunt your future. Everything happens for a reason, and all changes are for the better. I too failed miserably before, almost gave up on my personal life, and then, suddenly, SHE appeared in my life from nowhere. I am proud to call her Mrs AnyMal now :D

Merry Christmas to all and may all your personal troubles go away and may you find happines in 2003!
