1. The voices in my head say "No.".
But then again, they lie all the time.

3. That's the first sign you're getting better--
when you notice that they lie.

13. Stop arguing with me.
Who said they lie?

I never said that.



That 'other guy' may have said it, but not me.

I never lie.




Don't listen to those guys, they're crazy.

20. Your voices will be unavailable from 9 pm to approximately midnight tonight
Edited on Sun Apr-04-10 05:04 PM by Jackpine Radical
because we need to shut down our thought transmitter for repairs. Service will resume as soon as we can get the equipment back up and malfunctioning. Please make sure to wear a double layer of tinfoil on your head during the down time in order to block messages from unauthorized sources. The outer layer should be worn shiny side out, and the inner layer should be shiny side in.

That is all.

2. Well, the dog's here with me.
My wife has been gone for a few days but I expect her back in late afternoon.

I went out & got a frozen pizza for Easter dinner. That'll teach her to leave me alone! :evilgrin:

11. Never alone and never lonely with a dog...
Peeps are generally nice, but the doggy loves you no matter what. ;)

dogs sick...

My house was filled with family earlier and they're all Democrats (except one).

I'm not even really convinced that the bunny ever rose from the dead at all.

Pretty far-fetched if you ask me....

12. Not quite. My cat is here with me.
He's asleep, as usual.

A holiday? That's cool, I guess.

I think I'll take the day off.

15. Not alone but there's no celebration here.
Edited on Sun Apr-04-10 03:55 PM by EFerrari
I'm almost missing the days when my mom used to buy me turquoise wools suits for Mass like the ones Jackie Kennedy wore that made me itch but I wasn't supposed to scratch there.

(Damn you, Jackie!)

lol

FYI, there's a 3 hour (great) interview with John Dean on BookTV @ 9pm Pacific. Carry on, good people.

18. Yeah, but it's all good. I figure I've got about a year left here in the states,
and I don't want to complicate that with any emotional entanglements. Being alone doesn't bother me.

22. For most of the day, anyway.
We don't do much for easter; it's not a big holiday for us.

I live alone, and will be traveling to my son's house this evening. Not for easter, but to celebrate my bday, belatedly. I spent that day, and this weekend, blissfully solitary. I don't know that I'm exactly thrilled about the bday; I've had enough that they no longer fill me with anticipation, lol. The dinner tonight is mostly so that my family can feel like they did something, and so that we can spend an evening together. There won't be cake, or ice cream, or presents, or baskets, eggs, or candy. Neither will there be any xtian rituals for the return of spring.

25. Alone but not lonely.
I had a yogurt and banana for Easter dinner, a close friend called and it is a rare warm and beautiful Easter Sunday in Northern Illinois. I am happy.

30. I'm the only human in the house
Edited on Sun Apr-04-10 04:45 PM by njlib
surrounded by two sleeping dogs and 5 sleeping cats! Just cleaned the bathroom, have laundry cooking in the dryer and the "Dopey Opie" episode of Andy Griffith on TV Land in the background. I'll spend my evening with a big bowl of air-popped popcorn with real melted butter & some salt, watching the Yankee/Red Sox game. Then tomorrow, it's back to the job search.
