no not the Eli Roth movie
I'm house-sitting in my home for three weeks or so, and can't really even go out that much because our spoiled dogs need constant attention lest they destroy the house
my lady and a couple friends have agreed to stay a night or two just to keep me from going insane, but I'm already lonely as hell
so how do you dudes cope with being alone in the house for days on end?

so, i understand, man
i understand
also I actually haven't been alone for such a long period before on account of being pretty fucking young, so it's a shitty adjustment to make too
over and over and over again
I read a lot.
Books, manga, a new webcomic archive to go through.
I just devour that stuff.
why do you think I've been posting my ass off lately
my dad loves the dog whisperer
but still insists on feeding them from his plate and letting them out a trillion times a day and goddammit motherfucker they are your pets I do not want to sacrifice my livelihood to mind your house and the dogs
I'm just being whiny but still
Are you one of the people who tend my grandparents?
Say hi to me sometime!
Luckily I have activities to keep me occupied.
Like going to Rome.
Man yeah that keeps fucking with me

I mean I did get a taste of living with others again out in Portland but it only lasted so long and I carried this being-by-myself thing with me there, it was fucking weird. And now here I am again.
The forum helps me get by, and WoW did too. Because it provided people to talk to.
Nah, I don't get paid for caring for people, so it's more of a hobby.
I had to play bingo with people in a dementia ward. I had the same conversation with an old lady about how she bought a house and is moving in with her daughter (jokes on you, ya old bag!).
And I also had to convince another lady that no, my name isn't bill paxton, about 100 times.
Also calling that lady an old bag makes me look like an asshole but its there for comedic effect.
slowly working on it!
Deadly, in some cases.
my lady has apparently totally flipped out at something and wants to be alone for the rest of the night!
not like talking to her was going to be the highlight of my day or anything
girls love that.
This was like my default state for 18 years
I found it best to just go nuts.
I know what you mean. My grandparents are 98 and 96. My grandpa is still kinda there but really forgetful. My grandma still knows whats going on but shes kinda... i dunno how to put it. Senile i guess?
My grandpa has developed this thing for wanting to hug the bigger breasted women he sees. Really awkward for my sister.
(she has huge tits)
((ill kick your ass))
i think i'd be okay
Like he wont let go.

God damn, I went to go see Iron Man 2 and felt guilty about getting out of the house (she had a doctor's appointment her son took her to).
She had a stint where she had to be hospitalized because of low blood oxygen and they ended up removing 600 milliliters of fluid around her lungs and now she's on a constant oxygen supply, and god damn I felt so guilty that entire week because I was able to get some sleep and didn't feel constantly stressed out for the first time in months. I hate being human, because only humans will make themselves feel like shit, for not feeling like shit.
It depends on the person.
It's really hard to do studies on human isolation because of the ethical implications of completely shutting people off from the world and watching them go stir crazy.
One of these studies just got under way a few months ago, I think it may still be ongoing. It'll be interesting to see the results.
One of the things that read from an older study is that it can completely fuck with your ability to maintain a regular sleep schedule. They were studying a dude who had decided to go off and be a hermit. He'd go to bed at completely random hours of the day and at points he'd sleep for 20 solid hours.
but i can't
I am wake
and need to be up again in 3.5 hours
oh no!
