I have to go to Vegas with a guy on Lithium who says he's afraid of me...

[Dixon Carter Lee]

I have to go to Vegas next month on business, and the only colleague able to attend the conference with me is a man who was institutionalized when he was younger, has told me that he fears me, drinks, sees a psychiatrist once a week that he hates and thinks is out to get him, takes medication to keep sane, and is worried that people might talk to him when we get there.

He probably also hits on 17.

I hope you're getting your own room!

 

[kiwiwolf]

Good luck... our prayers go with you.

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

You damn skippy.

 

[*ladylove*]

You get stuck with the weird ones too huh? I would at least hope you get separate rooms. And look at it this way, at least he's afraid of you!

 

[paganangel]

but can he WRITE?

he sounds just like me and every other writer/wanna be i've ever met.
he's perfectly safe.
but your post was a little vague. who does he hate and who does he fear is out to get him?

Keep a syringe filled with Haldol under your pillow. If you hear a noise at night, inject him first; ask questions later.

No one. Everyone. He's mentally unbalanced, and I'm taking him as a favor to someone I work with. Sheesh. I just need a body to stand in an exhibit booth and talk to media types and answer questions. I'll just be lucky if no one is killed.

What I really need is a pretty girl with a personality to charm some bigwigs and make me look swell. Anyone want free room and board for four days in Sin City?

Please?

Clothing optional.

HEY...

I may be going to Vegas next month too. Wanna meet me by the roulette table?

Actually, this could make for a great story. Just imagine seeing the world through his eyes...all of the lights in that huge, sparkling city, all of the women flitting around him, bells, whistles, people shouting "blackjack". Can you imagine what will be going on inside his head?

This was just a quiet interlude....you can all carry on now. LOL!

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

Enchanted you just scared the hell out of me.

TN I'm there Jan 20-24. Let's play blackjack instead, the house odds aren't so high. You'll know me, I'll be the guy next to the guy climbing the slot machines screaming, "Nixon killed my father you son of a bitch!"

 

[TN_Vixen]

figures

I'll be leaving on the 20th. Sounds like you're in for one helluva time, though.

 

[Guest]

LOL, DCL. Sorry about that. I didn't really mean to scare you.

Try to make the best of your trip. You just never know, you might actually have a great time.

That is very cool of you to take Todd along.


<---just so everybody knows I am joking

Dixon is the only guy I know that takes entertainment with him to Vegas, the rest of us go there for the entertainment.

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

I also bring a tiny little portable TV to ballgames, so the players can look even smaller.

Now that is so strange...

I too have been asked to go as a favor to a friend, to Vegas Jan 20 -24th with a male colleague and I do fear his manic outbursts.

I do hate my psych but then who doesn't, and I may have been institutionalized as a teenager, again who hasn't been.

What I don't do is come to this BB and bleat on about how much of a martyr I am. I had intended to do the favor and look out for the uptight writer from the other end of the building; you know the one with a penchant for younger people and a self-righteous attitude...

Though perhaps it will help him get over his writers block, I had asked for a room on the floor below so I could leave the windows to the balcony open and see him drop past (sorry that should have said in).

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

"Bleat"?

 

[TN_Vixen]

I heard you

bbbbbbleat.

heh. Damn I'm bored today.

 

[Merelan]

Dixon? I never knew that about you. You bleat?
Shaking head.
One never knows does one.

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

You're all so baaaaaaaaaaaaaaad.

 

[Thumper]

Of course he does..

He is a "bleating heart liberal"

Hiya Merelan...smack the troll wil ya?

 

[Merelan]

Me? Smack a troll? Only once. Not worth getting blood on my new camisole.

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

Wool ewe knock it off, please? Seriously.

 

[Thumper]

Never

You know us Capricorns....

Stubborn like a "Ram"
