I would like someone to teach me to be better with my solitude. Accept what is, and that not everyone ends up together.. some of us just don't... (I'm trying not to be depressing, I'm really asking for help) )
I had a neuropsychological evaluation earlier this month and they said my depersonalizations were a cocktail of PTSD and my seizures.
I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. I don't know how my friends and co-workers will react. I've told some already, but those were in online support groups or friends who were already diagnosed. But normal people...I don't know.
From someone with seizures since childhood; I didn't learn until I was over 30 that I basically had PTSD while screaming about it for almost 10 years and getting shut down by people. Your real friends will care and that's all that matters in most ways. Try to find some solace in the knowledge that you aren't losing your shit. A bag of shit was handed to you and you've been holding it for way too long.

I wouldn’t resign myself to solitude forever. But I’d offer that you probably have a ton more time and money to fulfil whatever it is you want to do at any given moment or longer term because you don’t have to answer to or for anyone else. Whatever you do with that time is up to you.

In principal thank you - I just think it's more to note that some people find their purpose in service; for instance, I didn't create a co-dependent relationship last time and we were collectively able to do things that saved money while thinking about a future together that would possibly involve reducing rent via co habitation. It also gets really expensive being single especially if you are a freelancer, and there's no alleviation during the bad times (I literally spent the last 3 months, measuring out my food and barely eating to get by; often waiting for cash or being stuck in my current living situation which is toxic and a money pit). In sentiment I 100% agree - but except for going out and doing extra things here and there, I actually have been dumping money - and the depression increases bad habits of care (i.e. not saving money and just ordering food because cooking depresses you and you end up doing everything for just yourself, you understand habits already) Just trying to be full in my response.
I've been finding myself becoming more and more of a morning person lately. During the week I normally wake up around 6 to get to work for 7:30. But now sleeping in on the weekends is only around 7:30, rather than 8:30 to 9. I also find myself falling asleep earlier and earlier.
It's starting to make me reconsider doing most shows in Boston (an hour away), even on Friday and Saturday nights.

Not having to answer for anyone else also makes me a total asshole sometimes. I feel lucky I've never done anything regretful under the influence and my worst was when I was like 24ish having a loud verbal argument with an ex. I feel lucky that my brain doesn't submit to anger in that way, but me angry is also a scary thing to watch -- or if I'm having a panic attack.
I'm dealing with so much of these elements in my life alone, here in my own room, and that's dangerous.
Not sure.. whether to say peak capitalism.. or this is fucking hilarious and the condition of the scene.
You remember the scene right kids? Some of us who aren't even that old remember it... Well we do not live anywhere near that in 90% of venues spaces. I commend you on your hilarity KFC
I love words. Language is so interesting to me not only because of the different ways that words can be used, but because of the way they feel in my mouth when I speak them. Certain words just have a certain mellifluousness to them that makes them pleasant to say - words like susurrus and enervate, mesmerizing, vaudevillian, and lavish. Some words awkwardly fling syllables from the back of the throat (amalgam, huckster, glockenspiel); others use the tongue-tip (tits!). Words can be very open and breathy like hallelujah, regalia, and haberdashery (which I particularly enjoy because of its cadence); others form closed pockets of mouth-air that then burst out (cacophony, jocular, pumpernickel). Some simply require a certain extremely subtle emphasis when spoken (him vs. hymn - we say him all the time rather quickly, but I imagine most of us say hymn just ever-so-slightly differently, even though they're homophones).
I like to pick up on these things when listening to music - especially in hip-hop but other genres too. Artists have to make conscious decisions in how to pronounce the words in their songs to make them flow the best, which is at partially why it's rare to hear a true "ing" sounds at the ends of verbs. Usually it's fallin' or runnin' or what have you. It's much easier to switch to a new syllable from a front-of the-mouth "n" sound than it is an "ng" sound. Playing with this sort of inflection can make songs more interesting - Lady Gaga's verse in "Shallow" comes to mind. She fully pronounces the last syllable "I'm...fall..ing", which makes the listener pay attention to the word more than they would have otherwise.
To me, all of these oft-unnoticed phonetic traits subconsciously influence the way I feel about the object the word points to, and I've found that this is true for the names musical acts too. I'm inclined to listen to an artist more if I like saying their name. Janelle Monae, Kaytranada, and Sufjan Stevens all have names that make my mouth happy. Broken Social Scene is an unpleasant collection of syllables, Flying Lotus has an unnatural glottal transition between the two words, and the pause (mostly mental but sometimes verbal) I take every time I encounter Tyler, the Creator is treacherous (though Scum Fuck Flower Boy is a wonderful concatenation of sounds).
Anyways this post started with me being in another thread and wanting to say that I like the sound of Billie Eilish in my mouth and then realizing I needed to explain it, which then led to a lengthy diatribe and me deciding it was better off being posted here. You're welcome.
If you bike, wear a helmet. Here is mine, and it's fabulous.
the hotel i booked for a night in palm springs before coachella includes bike rentals and we're planning to cruise around town the day without having to move the car (and we're as excited about that as anything really, it's been way too cold to ride here). i'm desperately searching for helmet rental info because i have no room to pack mine for a single day.

sorry the only mysterious inforoo links i click on at work are from g a b f r a b
I find it fascinating when someone that has been a member since 2016 only has 60 posts. How is that even possible? Like what are they doing with their life? Living it and not posting on a cool forum about Bonnaroo? Fucking weirdos.

i think a simple test of knowledge to weed out the unworthies would make inforoo a better place.
1. rank all the U.S. festivals active in the prior calendar year with attendance of 20,000 or higher by gross ticket sales. 2. for the same set of festivals, describe all changes in corporate ownership and booking agency relationships over the past fifteen years. 3. in no less than 1,000 words, write an essay on why international festivals are better than any festival in the united states. draw from your own attendance experience at no less than 3 international festivals. 4. of the day for night festivals you attended, which was your favorite and why? 5. whats the best time to get in the bonnaroo traffic line to get a primo camping spot? provide a detailed map of the "back way" to get onto the farm. 6. so amish baking company changed its name? peachy's doughnuts or something like that. 7. what level are you at in your musical appreciation:
Level 1: There are two kinds of music, good music and bad music! So long as I'm with my friends! Level 2: The only thing that makes me feel anymore is a bunch of long hard freaks just rocking out noise on stage Level 3: The only thing that makes me feel anymore is smoke machines running on full blast with a guitar sustain echoing off the walls for hours Level 4: The only thing that makes me feel anymore is pounding techno rhythms so loud I can't think Level 5: The only thing that makes me feel anymore is the sound of falling metal trash cans in an empty warehouse Level 6: The only thing that makes me feel anymore is 1950s doo-wop singles and grainy early blues recordings.
at least then we'll know everyone is on our level and no one need fear being attacked.

Okay I'm no help with the helmet, but you must eat at Rooster and the Pig while you're in Palm Springs. It's beyond amazing. Seriously my favorite restaurant.

looks like it's a 6 minute bike ride from the hotel and has veggie options, i'm in!

i think that is ban worthy imo
"The back way" is also a way to divert people the fuck away from you because now the lines relatively work better on both sides; while going through the town is an utter pain in the ass if your cutting down from the North. They still will never TRULY know.
edit: yes I mean divert annoying people in your caravan that you've somehow ended up associating with because of the highway access point. Because people love to talk and be your buddy if that line is moving slow
