Hey so I just a few hours ago found out one of my best friends in the whole world has died. I'm extremely, extremely drunk right now, but I hope that this doesn't infringe on any rules about drunkposting. I'm off of work tomorrow, don't have to go in till 7 PM EST on Friday. Please tell me things I should do to distract myself or cheer myself up. I'm thinking I'll go see an afternoon matinee of Pacific Rim by myself. Hope that's not too sad.

I'm just trying to say that I have -38 hours of free time. Either I'll spend it with the people who were affected, or I'll spend it alone. If I do spend it alone, I'd enjoy some PYF suggestions as to how I should "enjoy" that time. This is not normal space in my life and I am not particularly used to dealing with the death of someone younger than me.

Nothing wrong with going to a movie by yourself. Maybe try talking to mutual friends though? Listen to music or watch movies that you enjoyed together or reminds you of them and cry as necessary. Crying doesn't make you weak it just sorta makes your eyes puffy for a while which can be embarrassing. I don't think I can be more pedantic than this. But embrace what some people might call negative emotions and try to burn through them. Then rage, and think about the good times too. /e/n

Don't get entirely drunk because you won't remember what happened. Then, every day you'll feel the exact same poo poo and go get drunk again, and forget it all yet again, like Groundhog Day. It'll be like living the day after your buddy's death every day. So just get moderately drunk and try to maintain that sweet spot at right around 2 pints or 3 American beers.

And this is probably not necessary, but make sure you are sober before you drive anywhere.

LITERALLY A BIRD posted:In the continuing work adventures of LAB, I just glanced over at a different regular's laptop and saw that he was browsing a familiar forum. I hope you did the prudent thing and sneakily found out what his username was and which subforums he hangs out in before you identified yourself as a fellow goon. Just imagine how you'd feel if that seemingly normal person you passed every day in the corridor (and who you were stuck with 8 hours a day) turned out to be a somethingsensitive spy, or a Dangan Ronpa Tumblrite, or even this poster.

Please tell me things I should do to distract myself or cheer myself up. I'm thinking I'll go see an afternoon matinee of Pacific Rim by myself. Hope that's not too sad. First, I'm really sorry to hear that. I'm going to echo what others have said. Nothing wrong with seeing a movie by yourself, and nothing wrong with getting drunk, but being around people you care about might be the best thing for you. I don't know you or your friend, but I bet he would want you to be happy and remember the good times. Everyone grieves differently, though, so if something feels right for you, it probably is. When my grandmother died, my first thought was that I wanted to drink a gin and tonic, which was her favorite. My second was that I wanted to eat the spiciest drat Thai food I could, just so I would feel something other than numb. I did both at a wonderful restaurant with my boyfriend and some good friends of ours, and drat if I didn't feel a little more solid the next day. Again, I'm really sorry you have to go through this.

I've been experimenting with oven-baked open-faced sandwiches because I'm pretty lazy and it beats hamburger helper on the reg. My latest success story has been: On one half of generic Dempsters' white bread - butter, hummus, sliced pickles, shredded cheese, sliced turkey breast On the other - chipotle corn relish, sliced turkey breast, more shredded cheese Bake for ten minutes @ 350f, mash together, shove in your face without shame because it is a taste sensation.

Goons, today I engaged in the fast-paced world of yard-sales. It was a long endeavor, filled with high-pitched hagglers, the watchful pacing motions of the elderly, and false cheery demeanor. At the end of the day, my brother and I made about eighty dollars each for a seven-hour job (not to mention the week of preparation for the sale) Then I received two letters from the city. It turns out that a road I never knew to be considered a school-zone is, in fact, a school zone (despite not being near an active school or crosswalk, and the fact that school is not in session) and that I had been clocked at 12 MPH over the 25 MPH speed limit by the hidden cameras. The fine for each ticket was $40, and I received two tickets for passing by that road twice. The moral of this story is that traffic crime does not pay. In fact, it will un-pay you, depriving you of your sweet, sweet yard sale dollars. Just Burgs has a new favorite as of 02:00 on Aug 25, 2013 |

They just send you the ticket and hope you do so.

Also, a lot of jurisdictions have different speed limits when the school is in session or not (or whether the light on the sign is flashing or not, in the case of my hometown), and he may not, in fact, have been speeding at all. So you may want to check on that.

Goodness, what sad place do you live that doesn't have the everything, the king of bagels? They're plain bagels with a little bit of all the savory bagel toppings (poppyseeds, onions, coarse salt, sesame seeds, etc.) on them. Here's one enjoying a happy symbiotic relationship with some plain cream cheese, smoked salmon and chives:
