Going away? Post so here! — Page 17

I'm going away, and I'm not coming back.

Well, to be more accurate, the version of me that has been here for the last couple of years -- the goofy, snarky, silly, absurdist version of me -- is leaving and leaving for good. I'll still be here, I'll still post, but don't expect any humour from me anymore; from now on, I'll be here what I am in my personal life: serious and humourless.

I've tried treating almost everything as a joke to cope with the emptiness that is my life, but it isn't working, so I'm not even going to bother with it anymore. I'll try not to be too morose or pessimistic around here, but aside from that, don't expect any pretense of chipperness from me anymore.

:(

 Thanks for blowing it! I almost had everyone fooled!

I didn't expect to be so busy after coming "home." Our house is in far worse condition than I had realized, so I've been mostly sleeping at my grandparents' place and going to my house to help clean up.

I'm not really sure when I'll be back for real.

 Was there some sort of natural disaster?

 Fine, but I reserve the right to twist your words to mean things humorous you did not intend, with or without your blessing.

 quoted for truth.

To play Devil's advocate, if you think of a racist joke, you're probably better off not saying anything, instead of saying that you aren't going to tell it.

 still it doesn't mean we have to overreact to someone saying they thought of a racist joke but won't tell it.

And you probably shouldn't tell everyone that you'd have no problem telling this joke elsewhere.

 Show me where he said that.

 Wow. Now who's panties are twisted, eh?
Calm down man. You said something some didn't like. So what?

It's not that. At least, it's not the main thing. Too many things are getting to me, now -- my home life, the weather -- so it was only a matter of time before one thing or another finally laid me flat.

Maybe I'll feel better eventually, but right now, I just don't feel up to playing things silly anymore.

Somebody needs a hug.

 Only if the mice count. The sewer backup and our awful tenants made most of the mess, however.

ew.

Yup.

Oops wrong thread.

So perhaps I should have simply posted a link originally...at this point I do not suppose it truly matters...

 I see a bunch of fetus pictures there...I don't think you want me posting.

That forum is hilarious.  Not that I have ill-feelings toward anybody in particular that's posting in it.  Although on it T claims nobody here wants him to come back/cares if he comes back because he "checked"... but I seem to recall more than one poster saying that they wished he would.  Guess he should come back and look harder!
