What do you read when you're fucked up?

[Hypoxia]

You are totally fucking wasted. Alcohol, cannabis, opiates, solvents; natural and synthetic mood modifiers, CNS (central nervous system) alterers (tranqs and stimulants), metabolism destroyers, etc -- you have ingested way too fucking much of some of these.

But you're bored. You want to read something. What do you look for? <=== the question

I prefer one-page comix. Even those stretch my attention span to the breaking point.

How about you? What do you read when you're fucked up?

When I'm fucked up (which is pretty rare these days) I really don't have the patience for reading, music gets to the point quicker but even better than that is venting, exorcising those demons in my own creative output. Writing is OK, but like music, painting gets to the point quicker.

Back when I used to get fucked up I would read Lisa's Diaries at Nerve dot com. That is some of the hottest, cleverest writing you'll find because it's true - or sounds like it's true. LIT writer OneSilky approaches Lisa's level of writing, but it's obviously fiction, although one would think the fiction is inspired by real life events.

Old Horror comics form the fifties and the Warren magazines Creepy Eerie and of course Vampirella.

Every time I pick up an issue of the original Vampirella series I recall how when it was first out we were all excited because it showed tits here and there.

Times have changed. When I had the store the top rack was for comics I felt were unsuitable for kids. Just before we closed it had spread to the second rack and I had to keep the back issues of the titles in a separate room.

They're trash these days, nothing but trash in the sense that they are no longer for kids at all. They feature rape, hardcore drug use, torture and who knows what else.

Sad to see that medium become a playground for losers who can;t break into "real" writing any other way.

Those are the thoughts that run through my mind when I am buzzed and reading the old stuff, guess I wax comic nostalgic.

The label on the Captain Morgan's Black rum bottle. The inside of the label has a very nice history story about the pirate Morgan.

Of course you have to drink all the rum first to be able to read it.

I would assume that, when you are that fucked up, you're reading the wrappers on rolls of toilet paper with your head in the cabinet under the sink in the bathroom.

Besides what I posted above... Craigs List personal ads.

Novel pages I'm going to have to retread the next day.

When I'm REALLY fucked up?

At those times there's nuthin like a gourd or two of 3113. Its like being Ichabod Crane and the Headless Horseman chasing him thru a bad dream.

When I used to regularly visit Mary Jane with a friend of mine, we didn't read, but playing StarCraft or Quake against esch other was both chilled-out and frantic at the same time. Good times.

Even sober I have a hard time focusing on a page of written words.

Back when I did get "Fucked Up", reading was the farthest thing from my mind. I usually just went to sleep or spaced out in front of the television.

But if I went to sleep I had to keep one foot on the floor so the damn bed wouldn't spin and make me sick. Damn bed.

Now, getting "Fucked Up" is a waste of time and money. I rather be reading, writing or playing some kind of computer game.

Of course back when I got "Fucked Up" they didn't have computers. Even when I finished school the only computer game was Adventure and you needed a mini-computer to play it. It was a text game, no graphics. Then they invented the PC...and...Doom...and...Skynet...etc.

Mindless internet surfing. Nothing will cheer you up like a bunch of YouTube cat videos. They're like furry therapists who don't charge you...

Want entertaining reading while fucked up?

Read through the GB.

They come across as pretentious idiots sober, get a good buzz and read them? Priceless.

How about you? What do you read when you're fucked up?

Personally, I read something very technical; strangely I remember most of it afterwards, too.

 

[Cruel2BKind]

When I'm mildly high, I can write fairly depraved stuff, but get me to try and write something simple and happy? Nope.

When I'm very high, I watch movie reviews and listen to enya.

Not at once.

Sail away bitches!

 

[mngramps]

If I can still read, Harry Potter!

If not, tunes...
