Back again with these threads! For all the new folks, this is a safe space to tell us about anything cool you have going on, anything you want to vent about, and everything in between.
Remember, you are loved 
Things have been up and down for me. In a glum mood today. Been hanging out with someone new, and that’s been nice, I’m just not sure if I really want to keep it up. Home life is…fine, I guess. Still living with my ex, they’re gonna give things until the end of the year to see if their career picks up any, and if not, they’ll move home. That said, they’ve been talking about that for years, so I’ll believe it when I see it. They broke down and finally yelled at me for the first time a few nights ago, so I silently carved a pumpkin and then just stayed over with the person I’ve been seeing. As nice as the couch I live on is, it was nice to sleep in a bed for a night or two this past week.
Job front is slow moving, but I had a promising interview last Wednesday. Was supposed to hear back Thurday afternoon or Friday, but even with a followup email I sent, no reply. Fingers crossed I guess.
I deleted a few of my dating apps, still have a small amount installed. A Maoist actually hollered at me this morning and wants to take me to an arcade. Not sure I have the energy though. Other people are asking me for dates, but I’m just…not replying. I should go do that now so I don’t leave them hanging.
On a brighter note, 9 day tour coming up in 2 weeks, so that’s cool! Without giving away too much (y’all know my band anyways and have seen my face), I’ll be going around the midwest. We’ve been doing well on selling merch the past few months, so that money should be sufficient to cover the tour. Also, we’ll have a roadie for the first time!
I’ll end it here I guess. Hope all my comrades are well, and I love you! 
Horror movies give me dread and scare the shit out of me.
Oh nooo! Yeah, they certainly aren’t for everyone. Especially newer ones, special effects and CG stuff has come so far that a lot of the gore has become unsettling to me. I think that’s why I really like 70’s- early 90’s horror; it’s easier to separate from reality but even then movies like Hellraiser are fucked up. My dad had me watching horror movies and going to haunted houses at a really inappropriately young age so I think I developed an affinity that way…But it has also fucked me up immeasurably lol I get so scared being alone at night. What kinds of films do you like?
Yeah.
The, err, recent film The Color Out Of Space, based off of Lovecraft’s work, was good, don’t get me wrong… but intense!
I mean, yeesh! I got a sinking feeling after watching it.
It’s funny because I love horror games and horror settings in RPGs.
Aw man that movie was so good! Nicolas Cage is such a freak he made it that much scarier.
That is interesting about the videogames, do you have any idea why those are easier for you to engage with? That it’s just computer graphics? I haven’t played any horror games but I think they would scare me more than horror movies, I was hella scared to play Silent Hill when it came out
I’m with you there. I can handle ANY horror movie you throw at me, I’ve seen all the most extreme shit. Don’t ask me to play Silent Hill though unless you’re gonna sit there with me.
