Should I or shouldn't I?

[lilminx]

Life is getting shittier. Yesterday I got ditched by the guy I was dating, and today I find out that I didn't get an apartment that I was looking at.

Do I stay home, alone, doing nothing (procastinating on getting my story written for the writer's contest), or do I go out, have a few beers, and play some darts with my friend, her fiance and some of his friends?

I'm afraid that if I do go out and have a couple of drinks, it will just put me in a worse mood, but if I stay home, I know I'll be depressed. I won't go to a bar and not drink, though. I get bored when I do that. So what should I do?

You know what will happen if you go out, you said so yourself. Alcohol is a depressant.

If you stay home there is a chance you will do something productive. Write. At the very least, stay on Lit and engage all of these wonderful people. We can be your support, Lilminx!!

Here's hoping you feel better

And that life gives you pleasure

Go out...have fun...

sometimes, at risk of oversimplifying, it's a matter of deciding to have a nice time and a bright mood. Not foolproof, but worth a try.

Don't wallow.

Kickass at darts and grin widely.

I say go out and party....maybe you'll meet someone. Try to relax and have a good time!

Ok so a zillion random and not so random cheese one liners ripped through my head about meeting me, or if I was there, or I would solve boredom etc. etc. ad nauseum.

But lines like that are so far below you, I can't pull myself to actually post one.

Minx, you should go out and not drink, but enjoy the possibilities. If you do feel the need to drink and become depressed, you always hop back home. Besides, aren't the best nights out when you don't want to be or unsure of it all? It's like taking the reverse and finding a surprise hidden and unwrapping slow…unfolding before you, no?

You can come to my house and fix dinner for my 4 kids.

Or better yet.. I can order in pizza.. we can rent some cheesy 80's movies and giggle like school girls.

 

[lilminx]

Ok- 4 for going out, 1 for staying in, 1 inviting me to fly across the country, and one flattering post about how cheesy lines are below me (thank you , BigDawg).

FG- you know that if I was in your vicinity I would be taking you up on that offer, right?

I think I might go out, just to be around people. I usually have fun at the bar where I play darts, and I am not going to drink a lot at all. I think that if I go out in a positive frame of mind, I'll be ok.

Thanks for the responses.

I Say....

Definitely you need to get out. Throw darts! Just hope the guy that dumped you is smart enough to stay out of the pub you're tossing darts in....otherwise, there might be an errant missile!!!

Have a beer....or 3 or 4.

I'll drink one in your honor tonight...along with a friendly toast that things start to improve for ya, minx!!!

Yep I know that.

So the only option here is for you to move.

 

[lilminx]

Ok- that's it- I'm getting ready to go out.

Hey FG, any one bedrooms in your area for $900/month?

 

[modest mouse]

Go out.
Have fun.
Don't get trashed.
Get at least a few hours sleep.
Remember you're a cool chick and shit's gotta break for ya at some point.

 

[lilminx]

Thanks for the advice, MM.


Ok- I'm on my way out. Wish me luck in darts!
