Weird Anniversary

Lilith Myth

06:31 / 28.02.04

Next Friday night it's a year since I had my weird-drug-experience. I haven't linked the original thread because I don't particularly want to be self-indulgent, and also, don't enourmously want to read it again.

I've been thinking about it in the last few days, and realised that you guys were the people who kept me most sane (whatever that means) and also were genuinely nice and helplful. So thank you.

Wondered if people have suggestions for how I might mark this. I feel like I should... though some of my friends have said I should mark it with traditional denial therapy: just ignore it. Feels like a landmark for me: whadya think?

Fuck, that went fast!
If you feel like you should mark the occasion, then you should definitely do so. (Probably not with vast quantities of hallucinogens, though.

)

Well i think you should celebrate it in any way you want, but yes, celebrate! It would make a change from having bad memories of the day and you could replace it with something positive. (sheesh, i should take some of my own advice sometime.)

And congrats to you Stoatie, i didn't post in your thread because i don't really feel like i know you but i'm saying it here for some innane reason.

Where's your divine couch barking dog anyway?

I don't know - I wouldn't celebrate it. But then, I don't get hung up on dates. It passed, allow it to pass.

I didn't necessarily mean celebrate... but remember.
Doing the whole denial thing is good... but only if that's the way you really want it to be. Which, in both thinking you should maybe commemorate it AND posting here, means you're not really gonna be doing, because you're thinking about it already.

If you're gonna be remembering the date, then TURN IT INTO A GOOD ONE!

Do something fucking ACE. Not as celebration, but as erasure. Denial is just silly.

(Oh, and BH... she's currently asleep on my pillow. And looking very comfortable. Boy, is she gonna be pissed off when I have to move her so I can go to bed in half an hour or so!)

Sure do something, make it memorable, possibly even take a trip...to somewhere nice (in the rail/road/plane sense). And hey it's always nice to celebrate that you're not dead and you're not mad
